Providing excellent psychiatric care in Los Angeles

Dr. Hendizadeh

Dr. Hendizadeh is a skilled psychiatrist who is licensed by the Medical Board of California and board certified in psychiatry. Her admiration for a non-judgmental and curious lens towards human behavior formally began while studying anthropology at UCLA as an undergraduate student. She then studied medicine at the UC Irvine School of Medicine. She pursued psychiatry because she appreciated the psychiatrist's role of teaming up with people on their paths for well being. During her general psychiatry residency at Kaiser Permanente she gained extensive experience in various settings, from acute psychiatric presentations in inpatient and ER settings, to chronic psychiatric illnesses in outpatient clinics. She also trained in treating mental illnesses during pregnancy and postpartum. Dr. Hendizadeh worked as a psychiatrist at the highly reputable Mind Study Center where she cared for older teens and adults in Pasadena. 

She is proud to have grown up in the Los Angeles school system. It has instilled in her excitement about cultural diversity and pride for the LGBTQ+ community.

  • Patient Testimonials

    “I spent years resisting speaking to a doctor. I assumed I’d be met with cliché banter as it would be hard for another person – even a doctor – to understand my very nuanced issues. Now that I’ve started with Dr. Hendizadeh, I regret I didn’t seek help sooner. She’s helped me tremendously in only a short amount of time. She combines professionalism with empathy, confidentiality and warmth. Not to mention, she’s a reliable communicator and conveniently available in person or virtually. I hope that others will jump in as I have, and experience the same level of support and relief!”

    “I am so lucky to have found Dr. Hendizadeh. She is one of the best. It’s the greatest feeling when you don’t feel anxious talking to someone, especially when opening up to someone new.

  • Patient Testimonials

    “My first experience with a psychiatrist was with Dr. Hendizadeh. I had some apprehension about taking medication for my anxiety and depression. I had been going to traditional therapy for years but felt lost within my poor mental health. In my first session, Dr. Hendizadeh was thoughtful, thorough, and recognized my hesitancy to try medication. I was really excited by the way Dr. Hendizadeh combined an incredible knowledge of psychiatric conditions with a nuanced understanding of behavioral and lifestyle changes that could complement treatment. Having a diagnosis gave me clarity and optimism. I was surprised by how fast I felt better after beginning treatment. Now after almost a year of working with Dr. Hendizadeh, I feel completely taken care of and always look forward to my next session. Thanks Dr. Hendizadeh!”
