It's my pleasure to meet you! I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health practitioner with over 30 years of medical and behavioral health experience. Throughout my career, I have guided many people through crises, inpatient and outpatient settings, understanding the complexities of Southern California's expansive mental health system. I understand that most students and adults have responsibilities during weekday business hours, and therefore, I focus my visits for early mornings, early evenings, and weekends. I have both telehealth and in-person availability based on your comfort and personal preferences.

Dr. BRITTANY VASAE BURDICK

Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • San Jose, CA


At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: that relationship is the most important tool we have in healing. Because of the pressures of modern medicine, psychiatric visits too often feel rushed, dismissive, or impersonal. I strive to offer something different. Before anything else, care should be one person sitting with another, trying to understand. Many people reach out during the hardest moments of their lives, when they feel most alone, most afraid, and most raw. I consider it a responsibility, and a gift, to be allowed into such intimate terrain.
