👋 Hi there, I'm Aparna. I'm a physician, startup operator and advisor, adjunct professor, and writer.
I specialize in the mental health and wellness of young adults and high-performing individuals in stressful environments. I practice general psychiatry, including diagnosis, treatment, and medication management, as well as psychotherapy. My therapeutic style is primarily psychodynamic & psychoanalytically informed. I also incorporate elements of CBT, DBT, and existential psychotherapy as appropriate.
Please feel free to reach me at [email protected] or via Twitter @aparnaatlurumd.
