In a world where emotional wellbeing is of immense importance, I stand as a psychiatrist dedicated to my craft, committed to fostering mental health and empowering individuals on their goals.
A Midwesterner at heart, I completed my undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University, then went on to complete my medical degree at the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine before finishing my residency at Loyola University Medical Center where a sizable portion of training was spent at the Edward Hines VA Hospital. During my residency, I cultivated a deep understanding of psychiatric nuances and treatment modalities. I am proud to mention that I have received training in cultural sensitivity, enhancing my ability to provide inclusive and personalized care to individuals from various backgrounds. Additionally, I am trained in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), further expanding my repertoire of therapeutic interventions. My memberships include the American Psychiatric Association, American Osteopathic Association, and the Illinois Psychiatric Society.
Throughout my career, I have traversed differing landscapes from rural to urban, gaining a myriad of experiences that helped shape my comprehensive approach to mental health. It is important to me to stay on top of the latest advancements in psychiatry and use evidence- based medicine to offer my patients pertinent, personalized care for them. I am enthusiastic about working with a range of populations. Areas of interest include mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD/complex trauma, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and substance use.
My therapeutic style is characterized by empathy, active listening, and collaborative relationships with patients, fostering a safe space for healing. I offer a combination of medication management and psychotherapy. As a clinician, I aim to empower my patients and help them achieve resilience to navigate life’s challenges. My practice is founded on compassion, respect, and the firm belief an individual has inherent potential for transformative growth.
I am Anita Rao, MD, an ABPN board-certified psychiatrist trained in adult psychiatry at Northwestern University, where I had the honor of being a member of the Gold Humanism Honor Society, recognized for teaching medical students. I earned my MD from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine and obtained my undergraduate degree in International Health from Georgetown University.
I adopt a holistic approach that goes beyond treating illness to focus on mental wellness and whole-person health. I utilize evidence-based medication management and collaborate with other members of our treatment team to ensure comprehensive mental health care.
My specialization lies in anxiety and depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, and PTSD, with a particular focus on individuals new to psychiatric care. I take pride in delivering accurate diagnoses, including second opinion evaluations, and am committed to educating and empowering my patients to understand their illness and their selves.
“Dr. Patel is an accommodating, curious, and smart provider who cares about his patients as people. He also provides occasional teaching on mental health practices and research relevant to my life!”
I have been an accomplished psychiatrist for 30+ years, specialized in general adult psychiatry, hospital based consultation psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, Addiction psychiatry -with extensive experience in clinical care with expertise in psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences, addiction and geriatric psychiatry.
Affiliate Professor at Loyola University Chicago.
I am fortunate that I was formally trained in novel treatments for the betterments of treatment resistant patients, TMS at two of the top TMS centres in the world; Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) at the hands of Prof Ziad Nahas and Prof Mark George who was the first psychiatrist to use TMS to treat depression in the early 90s; and at Duke University under Prof Sarah Lisanby, now the Director of Translational Research at the NIH.
Excited to to be starting Ketamine Infusion Therapy soon to have all the available treatment modalities to provide the best possible and novel modalities as indicated.
“I'm now retired (semi-retired) and moved to the greater Phoenix, AZ metro area during late November, '24. .While planning the move, one of my largest concerns, proved not a concern thus ultimately a mute issue as the Doctor and his staff have repeatedly demonstrated and fully committed and prepared to assist my medical needs remotely and digitally including digital appointments /scheduling with Doctor, script refills, insurance, etc.
As always...
Thanks a bunch Folks!
