Psychiatry & Testing
Psychiatry & Medication Management
Psychiatry is medical care for mental health: evaluation, diagnosis, and, when appropriate, medication managed over time. At Bodhi Clinical, psychiatric care is thoughtful and conservative: we treat medication as one part of whole-person care, coordinated closely with therapy rather than handed off in isolation.
We offer in-person care in the South Bay and online psychiatry across California.
Conditions like anxiety (about 19% of U.S. adults each year) and depression (about 8%) are highly treatable, often with therapy, medication, or a thoughtful combination of both.

Who it's for
People come to our psychiatric care for:
- A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis
- Ongoing medication management
- Anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and related conditions
- A second opinion or a more coordinated approach than they've had
- Medication care that works in step with their therapy
Our approach
We believe medication should be one considered part of a larger plan, never a substitute for understanding the whole person. Our prescribers take time with evaluation, prescribe conservatively, and coordinate directly with your therapist so your care is unified. Care is available across provider tiers so you can be matched appropriately, and psychiatry works hand in hand with therapy and, where relevant, addiction treatment.
What to expect
Care begins with a free 15-minute consultation, followed by a thorough psychiatric evaluation. From there, if medication is appropriate, your provider manages it over time with regular follow-up, adjusting thoughtfully and staying coordinated with your therapy.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?
A psychiatric prescriber provides medical care, including evaluation and medication management; a therapist provides talk therapy. Many people benefit from both, and at Bodhi they work as one team.
Do I have to take medication?
No. A psychiatric evaluation determines what is appropriate for you, and medication is always a shared decision. Some people benefit from it; others are better served by therapy alone.
Do you offer online psychiatry?
Yes, in person in the South Bay and via telehealth across California. Some medications have additional requirements for telehealth, which your provider will explain.
Will my prescriber coordinate with my therapist?
Yes, coordinated care is central to how we work. Your therapy and psychiatric care stay in step.
What conditions do you treat?
Anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and related conditions, among others. Your evaluation will clarify the right approach for you.
