Shad Ali, MD

I am very passionate about all forms of psychotherapy (individual, family, and group therapy) and integrating them into the practice of psychiatry. I am also committed to our Psychiatry clinic being a vanguard in promoting diversity and inclusion in our healthcare system. Often in medicine, the focus is on the treatment of a specific disease and the person experiencing it is forgotten. I chose to become a physician because I want to treat people, not just the condition that ails them. My philosophy of care is to first listen and try to understand each person’s unique physiology, psychology, and social experience. By hearing and learning from each of my patients, we can collaborate in discovering diagnoses, alleviating symptoms, and identifying sustainable solutions. I aim to practice child and adolescent psychiatry at its highest level, promote good mental health, and provide exceptional care to the children, adolescents and families of our community.
