Getting to know Dr. Karina Fatova
Dr. Karina Fatova is a board-certified psychiatrist from New York City who has made New Orleans her home for the past ten years. She graduated from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY and completed her residency at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. She was proud to have her first position post-residency at the River Oaks Hospital Trauma Unit in New Orleans, LA where she treated patients with Complex PTSD and eating disorders.
Dr. Fatova has also worked at the New Orleans Veterans Affairs Hospital. Though her passion is Complex Trauma/PTSD, she also regularly saw patients who have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and adjustment disorder. During tenure, she received three special commendations from the director for feedback from her patients about her effective integrative approach to supportive psychotherapy and medication management. She believes that her rapport with her patients, and their therapeutic work together, is just as important as the medication she prescribes to heal or alleviate their symptoms.
Dr. Fatova employs psychodynamic therapy techniques to help patients who would like to explore childhood experiences that may impact them in their adult lives. With respect to medication, she regularly helps patients target symptoms such as sleep issues, nightmares, persistent worry, emotional dysregulation, frequent mood changes, impulsivity, and "toning down the nervous system," among others. She strongly believes that treatment decisions are best approached as a collaboration between patient and doctor. She sees young adults who are just starting their journey into adulthood, as well as adults who have been navigating life with challenges, which may include untreated, or poorly treated. Often, by the time Dr. Fatova sees a patient, they may have lost a significant amount of faith in their mental health doctors. She is particularly attuned to helping individuals with this type of experience.

Doctor never showed for appointment. Doctor never sent me the video link for appointment. When I contacted the number provided they said I never had an appointment. I provided them the confirmation and still nothing. They then tried to rebook me. After I said “no”, they spam called me multiple times. Very unprofessional.
