Great to meet you!

I am Dr. Suchet Rao, a psychiatrist in Los Angeles County, California. I am board-certified in psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry. I specialize in the evidence-based treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, I specifically have a passion for anxiety, phobias, OCD, social anxiety, and depression. I also love to be a guide and provide new perspectives to those experiencing creative blocks and a general feeling of "stuckness" in their lives.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach focuses on your specific needs and develops a treatment plan that is specifically tailored for you. The treatment plan might include a combination of medication, talk therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

What you can expect from our first session

I have been told by those I work with that I make people feel seen and heard and that I have a very calming energy. I will go above and beyond to treat you as a whole person, and to communicate with you in a way that feels comfortable and helps you grow. I want you to leave appointments with me feeling like you’ve had a natural conversation with a friend. We are in this together, and I’m excited to meet you and help you along your journey. Please feel free to book an appointment with me today!
