At The Happiness Psychiatrist®, my approach to patient care focuses on addressing the entirety of the individual: mind, body, and spirit. I am a firm believer in the balanced application of psychopharmacology, alongside psychotherapy and complementary modalities like meditation, Kundalini yoga, and walking therapy. This comprehensive approach aims to catalyze profound transformations for individuals grappling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, binge-eating disorder, OCD, and various other prevalent mental health challenges and life circumstances.

Report
Dr. Ambardar has tremendous insight into personal and collective trauma and the impact of ancestral trauma on a person's life. It is not often you come across a professional who has an in-depth understanding of collective trauma and its impact on an individual's life. Her work and her insights have been supportive in my own healing journey. I highly recommend anyone wanting to connect with their ancestral histories, collective trauma, and current life experiences to work with Dr. Ambardar. She is a caring professional.
