"I feel privileged to help individuals reach a healthier and better place in their lives." - Dr. Rashti Request Appointment
Denise Rashti, M.D.
Diplomate of the American Board of Neurology and Psychiatry
Dr. Rashti is a board-certified adult psychiatrist in private practice for almost 20 years. She finished her medical training in July of 2000, at Baylor College of Medicine in The Texas Medical Center. She also completed Postgraduate Study in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the Houston-Galveston Psychoanalytic Institute in July of 2000. She specializes in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy and has a special interest in mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and women’s issues.
She believes in a comprehensive approach when dealing with any medical condition, including mental illness. Psychiatric disorders have had a social stigma throughout history, but neuroscience is beginning to understand the genetics, anatomy, and pathophysiology of these brain diseases. The mind and the brain are one in the same, which before was so frightening and now is promising. More and better treatment options have evolved over the last 20 years, and they vary in approach. Medication, psychotherapy, and behavioral approaches can all work together in helping a person feel, think, and behave in ways to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
Research is validating the importance of treating mental illness. Untreated depression, for example, can worsen a patient’s outcome after stroke and heart attack, can affect pregnancy, and is the leading cause of disability worldwide (WHO).
The good news is that treatment is available and helps. Dr. Rashti feels privileged to help individuals reach a healthier and better place in their lives.
