Therapy & Approach

Dr. Kalyanapu’s goal is to help you achieve lasting wellness by understanding the biological, psychological, and environmental factors that shape your mental health.

Dr. Kalyanapu’s expertise spans child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, with particular focus on complex and treatment-resistant cases. She welcomes patients of all ages struggling with:

  • depression and mood disorders

  • panic and other anxiety disorders

  • autism spectrum / pervasive developmental disorders (ASD/PDD)

  • attention-deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD)

  • obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD)

  • traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

  • posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • patients seeking to discontinue, minimize, or avoid use of psychiatric medications

How We Work Together

Optimal health demands more than symptom management—it means exploring root causes and collaborating on meaningful solutions tailored to your unique situation and biology.

Dr. Kalyanapu’s process is most effective when you are:

  • Willing to engage with both conventional and alternative approaches

  • Open to making lifestyle or dietary changes

  • Committed to a partnership, where your insights and preferences shape your care

  • Patient and resilient, knowing that progress sometimes means gradual, thoughtful change

 Comprehensive Care

Dr. Kalyanapu investigates underlying contributors to your symptoms, such as nutrition, hormonal balance, gut health, chronic infection, sleep, and environmental exposures. Testing may include labs, brain imaging, or other studies, carefully selected for your needs.

Together, we design integrative, evidence-based plans that may include:

  • Nutritional and lifestyle guidance

  • Prescriptions (when necessary, used judiciously)

  • Supplements and mind-body therapies

  • Referrals for specialized treatments such as neurofeedback or acupuncture

 A Partnership for Empowerment

From your first visit, we focus on relief and support, while also taking time to uncover lasting solutions. You will be involved in every step, with honest discussions about expectations, risks, and options.

Dr. Kalyanapu’s patients are her partners: responsible, curious, and proactive. You are encouraged to ask questions, be curious, and take an active role in monitoring your progress. This approach is especially suited to those who are open-minded, invested in self-discovery, and prepared for thoughtful changes.
