Dr. Samir Shah, MD

Dr. Samir Shah, MD

Psychiatrist
CA
As a therapist and Board-Certified Psychiatrist trained at New York University School of Medicine and Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, where I completed my residency in Psychiatry, I strive to approach each individual with empathy, curiosity, and respect. My extensive work with people from diverse economic, gender, sexual, cultural, and racial backgrounds gives me a unique lens through which I understand the complexities of human behavior, mental health, and healing. Our mental health is influenced not only by individual experiences but also by the broader context of society, culture, and history. I believe that awareness of how systemic barriers have made treatment difficult for many communities is essential. Working with me, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where you are encouraged to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. We will engage in a collaborative process in which trust is vital. I aim to establish a relationship that is both supportive and empowering. My goal is to help you develop insight into your challenges as we examine the patterns that repeat in your life and the ways your past connects to your present. Ultimately, this understanding will help open the path toward leading the life you want to live. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress management. I believe in the power of healing-whether through therapy, medications, or a combination of approaches. While medication is not for everyone, I have seen it play a crucial role in treatment for many people. If we determine that medication would be beneficial, we will thoroughly discuss the risks and benefits before starting. There will be regular check-ins to ensure it is serving its purpose. Ultimately, the decision about whether or not to take a medication I prescribe is yours and yours alone.
