Within you, in a drop, lies an entire ocean.
Rumi
Welcome to Inwardly Psychiatry. I am Dr. Anaheed Shirazi, a board-certified adult psychiatrist based in San Diego. I provide holistic mental health care including medication management and psychotherapy to residents across California, both virtually and in person. My approach is integrative and supports sustainable changes that will help you live a more meaningful and fulfilling life amidst life's challenges.
I do not believe there is one right approach or prescription that works for everyone at every time. Instead, I draw from a range of modalities I have trained in and continue to learn, adapting different tools and perspectives to meet your unique needs. Our work together centers on turning inward, becoming aware, inwardly, of the emotional patterns you’ve carried and beginning to meet them with curiosity instead of judgment. The moments that unfold in the space between two chairs, between two gazes, in a psychiatry office, are not easy. As your psychiatrist, my role is to hold space for these moments and be present with you as you begin to explore and make sense of them.
This work unfolds in a safe and compassionate environment that supports you in turning toward feelings that may have been quietly carried, unheard, or unseen, and that may have felt heavy over time. In tending to these parts of your inner landscape compassionately, you create more room to live with intention, aligned with what truly matters to you. Medications may be recommended to facilitate change, but they are not a replacement for the deeper inner work we’ll do together.
Contact Me to Book an Appointment
I offer a 10-minute phone consultation free of charge, an opportunity for both of us to consider whether the level and type of care I offer are appropriate and responsive to your needs at this time.
Please text (858) 342-0203 or send an email to ashirazi@inwardly.health to book a 10-minute phone call with Dr. Shirazi.
The complimentary 10-minute call is intended to help us determine if Inwardly Psychiatry is a good fit for your needs. This call is not a clinical evaluation and does not establish a therapeutic or physician–patient relationship. A provider–patient relationship will only be established after a formal intake appointment and mutual agreement to treatment.
