Dr. Priti M. Kothari, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry.

Non-pharmacological ADHD interventions focus on building executive function skills and environment management. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps reframe negative thought patterns and improve organization. Behavioral coaching, structured routines, physical exercise, sleep optimization, and time-management techniques (like time-blocking) provide practical strategies to regulate focus, impulsivity, and daily workflows.
Non-medical anxiety treatments aim to calm the central nervous system and reshape stress responses. CBT and exposure therapy teach coping strategies to challenge irrational fears. Mindfulness meditation, somatic deep-breathing exercises, regular aerobic physical activity, and reducing caffeine/alcohol intake help lower physiological arousal and manage persistent worry.
Our mental well-being is deeply tied to how we connect with others. IPT focuses directly on your current relationships and social interactions to help reduce distress. Whether you are navigating a difficult life transition, conflict at home, or feelings of isolation, we work together to improve communication skills, build stronger support systems, and resolve interpersonal challenges.
Non-pharmacological depression care emphasizes behavioral activation and mental reframing. CBT targets depressive thought cycles, while structured exercise boosts mood-regulating neurotransmitters. Additional evidence-backed non-medical options include light therapy (for seasonal patterns), sleep hygiene optimization, strong social connection, and advanced non-drug medical procedures like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
