Getting to know Dr. Amrisha Prakash

Hi! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in California. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, panic attacks, social or family challenges, and difficulties adjusting to life changes. I also often work with people of color who want a safe space to discuss issues around race, culture, or other aspects of their identity/background. I received my BA from the University of Michigan and my MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology from the George Washington University in DC, prior to completing full-time clinical training and residency in the Bay Area.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I understand that the decision to begin therapy and the process of opening up to a therapist can be challenging, so I strive to make this transition as smooth as possible, adapting to each individual’s unique needs and pace. My ultimate goal is to empower clients to leave therapy feeling heard, supported, and equipped with new insights and strategies that they can apply to improve their daily lives.

In-network insurances

Dr. Amrisha Prakash has 150+ in-network plans.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

It's been exactly what I needed it. Professional and direct yet brilliant in her delivery. I feel lucky I found such a smart therapist online.
I have never looked forward to any type of therapy until Dr. Prakash, PHD. Extremely intuitive, and has the ability to integrate that skill into a 'casual' conversation where all types of lightbulbs ignite as we navigate our hour of therapy. It Looks as if these reviewes are submitted anonymously, however I have no problem using my name as a patient: John Zajac.
