Dr. Yasha Rastgar

I am an adult and addiction psychiatrist and founder of Elevate Mind and Wellness in Beverly Hills. I earned my Bachelors Degree with Distinction in Biopsychology from the University of Michigan and my MD Degree from The George Washington University, where I obtained a top-tier medical education in the nation's capital. During residency, I was awarded the coveted Resident of the Year award for my distinguished performance and subsequently granted the title of Chief Resident. With a strong interest in education, I have led conferences in adult and geriatric psychiatry, underscoring my commitment to providing exceptional patient care.

For new patients, the first session typically involves a comprehensive evaluation, where we discuss your medical and psychiatric history, current symptoms, and any ongoing / past treatments. This helps me develop a clear understanding of your needs and determine the most effective strategies moving forward. Depending on your presenting symptoms, treatment may include medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. I will also focus on empowering you with behavioral strategies to improve your overall wellness.

My goal is to work closely with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that promotes growth and progress.
