Dr Katyal’s Approach

voted Best Psychiatrist of Weston 2024.

Welcome to my practice!

If you’re seeking personalized psychiatric care from a physician who specializes in compassionate and effective psychotherapy and medication management, my practice might be the right fit for you.

I am a Board-certified psychiatrist with extensive experience in providing both medication management and psychotherapy to adults and teens. My expertise lies in treating resistant depression and anxiety. I believe in taking the time to truly understand my patients and avoiding the rushed “15-minute med check” approach. When clinically appropriate, I may prescribe medications to address symptoms stemming from emotional or psychological challenges. I view medications as an essential tool in evidence-based medicine and am committed to ensuring my patients are well-informed about both the benefits and potential drawbacks of any prescribed treatment.

I specialize in treating resistant depression using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a safe, non-invasive treatment. I received my TMS training from Harvard Medical School and bring the best combination of knowledge and research to help alleviate the symptoms of resistant depression. I incorporated TMS into my practice after recognizing the limitations of conventional medications and therapy for many of my patients. I use the advanced MagVenture TMS system, enhanced with MRI-assisted neuro-navigation, to provide cutting-edge care.

As a trained psychotherapist, I take a holistic approach to understanding my patients. I collaborate with them to explore the biological, psychological, personal, and social aspects of their symptoms, working together to set meaningful treatment goals and develop an effective plan.

Ultimately, my goal is not just to reduce symptoms but to help you achieve growth, satisfaction, and a sense of well-being. I believe lasting positive changes can be made even in just a few sessions. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
