Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Dr. Saira Hussain, D.O., I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist with a subspecialty certification in Consultation Psychiatry. I have over 17 years experience working with patients within inpatient and outpatient settings, with special focus on anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment issues. I have special interests in wellness, burnout prevention, life transitions, relationships, women’s issues, and nutrition.

My approach to therapy

I utilize several therapeutic modalities including medication management, supportive therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy. We will decide together which therapeutic approach would work best for you. My approach is compassionate and empathic. I focus on creating a safe, welcoming and comfortable space for my patients to express their feelings, identify thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms to better deal with their daily life stressors.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will start to identify some of your thoughts, feelings, and exploring some of the areas you want to improve. We will discuss some treatment options that may work for you, including medications and therapy. During our sessions, you can expect to feel supported and validated all throughout your wellness journey. We will go over some strategies together for you to put into action in between visits, helping you feel confident and empowered after you leave our sessions.
