Getting to know Dr. Prashanth Pillai
The Fountain Group in Reston, Virginia, specializes in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry. Prashanth Pillai, MD, and Ksenia Pillai, MD, are board-certified psychiatrists offering high-quality mental health diagnosis and treatment to patients of all ages through a secure, convenient location and telehealth. Drs. Pillai completed medical education at Aureus University School of Medicine (Doctor of Medicine), followed by residency in General Psychiatry at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. They advanced their expertise with fellowships in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Nassau University Medical Center and SUNY Downstate Medical Center.
The Fountain Group treats many psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder, ADHD, anxiety disorders, phobias, OCD, and autism spectrum disorder. The practice also helps patients overcome trauma and recover from PTSD. The experienced psychiatrists offer a personalized approach to care. They operate a private practice accepting insurance and cash payments. Cash patients benefit from expanded time with their psychiatrist, who integrates lifestyle medicine into psychiatry to organize a functional and biologic life for optimal mental health. They use evidence-based practices for 100% diagnostic certainty without rushing diagnosis.
Services include psychotherapy (talk therapy) and medication management, available exclusively through remote telehealth using HIPAA-approved technology for privacy and security. While many discuss mental health, The Fountain Group focuses on mental wealth. Call or book online for expert help with emotional and psychological problems.

What should a new client know about working with you?
Dear Valued Patients, We maintain the highest standards expected of a medical practice and understand that our meticulous approach might results in few one star reviews. So, here in is our ADHD Diagnosis and Treatment Policy at The Fountain Group LLC
We're dedicated to high-quality care, particularly in diagnosing and treating ADHD, a complex neurobiological disorder. Our comprehensive ADHD evaluation extends beyond initial consultations, involving multiple sessions to thoroughly examine developmental history, academic records (including IEPs), work performance, various ratings scales, previous evaluations, and neurocognitive testing (may include others).
We do not automatically accept external ADHD diagnoses unless they result from similar rigorous assessments. Should we consider such evaluations, reviewing these records may incur additional costs. A simple rating scale completion is not sufficient for an ADHD diagnosis at our facility.
Our services, grounded in expertise and time, do not guarantee diagnosis or medication unless absolutely necessary. We adhere strictly to standard care guidelines, prescribing medication dosages as recommended by literature, manufacturers, and governing boards, except in rare, medically necessary cases.
We maintain a strict stance against misuse of controlled substances and report suspicious activities to authorities. Our commitment to the highest medical standards may not meet all expectations, but we welcome those ready to invest the necessary effort and resources for a clear, evidence-based diagnosis.
