Dr. Ria Shah, DO

Dr. Ria Shah, DO

Psychiatrist
315 W Ponce de Leon Ave, Decatur, GA
As a Psychiatrist, my focus is on providing thoughtful, individualized care that recognizes each patient as a whole person not simply a diagnosis. I work primarily with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, psychosis, mania, borderline personality disorder, and schizoaffective disorder. I believe every person’s story includes unique experiences, identity, trauma, and resilience, and I strive to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with therapy-informed care, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic principles. I particularly value DBT-informed strategies to strengthen coping skills, emotional regulation, interpersonal communication, distress tolerance, and safety planning. I believe that each person's story is shaped by their unique experiences, identity, challenges, and resilience. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard, respected, and supported.
