    Services

    Medication Management

    Medication refers to the use of medications in treating mental health conditions. Medications can play a vital role in improving many mental health conditions.

    Telehealth Services

    We utilize telehealth services to continue offering the highest standards of care during COVID-19. Research shows that telehealth appointments are equivalent to in-person care in terms of treatment effectiveness and the quality of care.

    Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

    Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a medication-free, non-invasive procedure that utilizes magnetic fields to gently stimulate nerve cells in the brain that are underactive in patients experiencing depression.

    Psychotherapy

    Through a collaborative process, individual therapy instead focuses on addressing your concerns and finding ways to achieve your personal goals with the help of a trained mental health therapist.

    Psychiatric Consultation

    An initial psychiatric consultation by a board-certified psychiatrist is scheduled for 90 minutes.

    Dr. Khachi is one of the best child psychiatrist in Los Angeles. Finding a child psychiatrist is never easy and we were in search of a good child psychiatrist for a few years until we found Dr. Khachi. My daughter has been seeing him for 2 years. He is involved in the latest research and knows the most current treatments that are effective. Most importantly, he explains everything in layman language which makes it easy for us to understand my daughter’s condition better and treatment options. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy doctor that really cares for his patients.

    Dr. Khachi has helped me change my life for the better. I spent 20 years being misdiagnosed and had tried various medications and therapies by other psychiatrists. My primary care doctor encouraged me to get a consultation with Dr. Khachi and I am so happy I got to meet him. Dr. Khachi had a very thorough assessment and accurately diagnosed my condition; he helped me get both the appropriate medications as well as the best evidence-based therapy. He is very knowledgeable and has expertise in many areas of psychiatry, yet he is very easy to connect with and shows a lot of care and compassion for his patients.
