Ramakrishna Rao MD

I am an experienced physician specializing in Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatry. With a strong background in Internal Medicine, I integrate holistic approaches into my practice, focusing on an Integrative Psychiatry and Medical model. I strive to provide well-rounded care by incorporating various therapeutic modalities and fostering a heart-centered, empathetic approach to health and healing. I am board certified in Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatry, with pending recertification in Internal Medicine. Recently, I completed the new Integrative Medicine Boards, alongside an additional two years of training to effectively blend Conventional Medicine with holistic principles. Born and raised in Texas with East Indian heritage, I have extensive experience addressing cross-cultural issues, particularly the generational similarities and differences between Eastern and Western perspectives. This background enables me to bridge diverse approaches to health and wholeness. I am well-versed in the challenges of co-dependency, personality disorders, and their impact on emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I believe it is essential for a physician to understand these dynamics to provide comprehensive care. As an artist, I encourage creative expression as a vital aspect of therapy and healing. I view creativity as a powerful tool for exploring one's self and emotions. I work within my patients' unique belief systems, whether they have one or not, to help them recognize that healthcare is an ongoing journey—one that can also be a creative and spiritual practice that enhances self-esteem and fosters personal growth. I look forward to meeting those seeking support, facilitation, and guidance in their unique lives and experiences.
