Hi, I’m Dr. Savannah Patel.
I am an adult psychiatrist. I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Biological Sciences at Louisiana State University and then went on to earn my Medical Degree from LSU in Shreveport. I completed my residency in psychiatry at Tulane University. I am a board-certified diplomat of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
With additional training in integrative and reproductive psychiatry, I combine evidence-based medicine with a soulful, holistic approach—prioritizing both mind and body in the healing process. I am especially passionate about perinatal mental health and offer compassionate, informed care to patients who are pregnant, postpartum, lactating, or navigating infertility.
My Approach to Psychiatry
Your initial consultation is a chance for us to get to know each other and determine whether our therapeutic relationship is the right fit. I take a holistic, whole-person approach to psychiatry, which begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. This includes a detailed review of your medical and mental health history, along with an exploration of key lifestyle factors such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep patterns, and social connections.
When appropriate, I may also recommend laboratory testing to rule out underlying medical or nutritional causes that could be contributing to your symptoms.
Together, we’ll discuss the most effective path forward—whether that includes medication management, psychotherapy, or an integrative combination of both.
medication Management
If psychiatric medications are warranted, we will discuss options and choose the regimen that is best for you.
Psychotherapy
The goal of my work is to provide you with the tools to understand and harness the complex interconnectedness of your mind, body, and soul.
