I  have over 36 years of experience working with children, parents, and couples in the field of psychotherapy. I strive to bring harmony, understanding, and balance to couples in both parenting and relationship challenges. Working with children of all ages involves play/art experience therapy and a deep understanding of child development.   I assist my patients in helping them to manage their own individual struggles such as anxiety, depression, anger management, and low self-esteem, through clinical interventions, understanding the cause of troublesome behaviors with the goal of finding solutions, gaining awareness, and guidance toward openness to change.   I offer patients a positive path to order to gain a balance together through the development of healthy coping skills, using mindfulness techniques, solution-focused strategies, and learning to accept and use their own inner resources.

I am practicing in Newport Beach since 1993. I completed Psychiatry Residency at King Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles in 1992 and fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry at USC Institute of Psychiatry and the Law in 1993. I have served as the Medical Director of Inpatient Psychiatry units and Partial Hospitalization Programs for over a decade. In addition I have been providing psychiatric consultations on complex, challenging patients on the medical floors and Intensive Care Units at Hoag, Fountain Valley and Orange Coast Memorial Hospital since 1994. I am also a consultant to the Emergency Rooms at these hospitals and I have extensive experience in dealing with the legal aspects of psychiatry, as well as clinical psychiatry. I enjoy reading, bike riding, working out in the gym and traveling with my family.

Dr. Amira Collison is a Board-Certified Adult Psychiatrist and Board-Eligible Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist who provides comprehensive psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults. She completed her medical degree at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, followed by both her Adult Psychiatry Residency and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. Her clinical interests include neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD and autism spectrum disorder), anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related disorders, and psychotic disorders. During residency, she received advanced training in the treatment of complex mood disorders through the UCLA Mood Disorders Clinic, where she developed expertise in treating treatment-resistant depression, using evidence-based medication management, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and intranasal ketamine.

Dr. Collison believes that exceptional psychiatric care begins with understanding the whole person—not simply treating symptoms. She partners closely with patients and families to develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that may include medication management, psychotherapy, family therapy, lifestyle interventions, and TMS when appropriate. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, compassion, and creating a supportive environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout treatment. In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Collison maintains an academic appointment at UCLA, where she teaches and supervises medical students, psychiatry residents, and child & adolescent psychiatry fellows.
