Getting to know Dr. Ronak Makadia

Hello, my name is Ronak Makadia, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Adler University and additional training in social work, holding a Master's degree from the University of Akron. As a second-generation Asian American, I quickly learned about the stigma and shame often attached to attending therapy, especially within the Asian American community. As a cis-gender woman of color, I deeply value and provide culturally competent services. I work with high-functioning adults and older adults to overcome any barriers they may be facing. I encourage you to create, learn, and consistently use healthy coping mechanisms. To avoid staying stuck, I collaborate with you in developing solutions. My approach is collaborative and solutions-based, aimed at helping you move forward in your life. We all get stuck sometimes, and I am here to help. Therapy does not have to be a painful experience-I will guide you toward improvement in a welcoming, affirmative environment. I support the movement to destigmatize therapy and make mental health care accessible for all. I am committed to this mission and to providing quality counseling. Please feel free to reach out to schedule your first appointment if you are interested in working together. I look forward to working with you!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I provide patients with a safe space, a place where they can openly express their reasons for seeking therapy, while also helping the individual explore what is most important to them.

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.
