What mental health services include
Mental health care spans a range of services depending on individual needs. At the core is psychiatric evaluation — a thorough assessment of symptoms, history, and functioning to reach an accurate diagnosis. From there, treatment may include psychotherapy (such as CBT), pharmacotherapy (medication), lifestyle recommendations, or a combination of these approaches.
Dr. Shrestha provides individual psychotherapy, medication management, crisis assessment, and coordination with other healthcare providers. The approach is patient-centred, evidence-based, and grounded in shared decision-making — you are involved in every step of your care.
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based psychotherapies
- Psychopharmacology (medication management with monitoring)
- Crisis assessment and safety planning
- Coordination with other healthcare providers and services

Common conditions treated
Mental health conditions treated include mood disorders (major depression, persistent depressive disorder, bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders (GAD, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias), OCD, PTSD and trauma-related conditions, insomnia, addiction with co-occurring psychiatric conditions, and stress-related burnout.
