Dr. Abirami Krishna is a board-certified adult psychiatrist with experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings. She earned her medical degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine after completing undergraduate studies at the University of Kentucky. She completed her psychiatry residency and a community psychiatry fellowship at the University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville, where she was recognized with the Leon L. Hailey Jr. Leadership and Inclusive Excellence Award.

Dr. Krishna values honest communication and collaboration, working closely with patients to define goals and build effective treatment plans. She fosters a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where patients feel heard and empowered to actively participate in their care.

Dr. Krishna begins with a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s history, concerns, and preferences. She uses a holistic, patient-centered approach to develop individualized, evidence-based plans, incorporating medication management and supportive therapy as appropriate to support each patient’s unique path to wellness.

I use a person-centered approach to tailor treatment to the individual, with an emphasis on shared decision making. I prefer to focus on psychotherapy and behavioral interventions as a primary part of the treatment plan, in addition to any indicated medication. Motivation for change is a large part of the healing process, and for many people recovery doesn't happen with medication alone. I ask all my patients to play an active role in their treatment. A thorough diagnostic assessment with discussion of the best treatment setting and modality, then regular follow up visits with emphasis on psychotherapy in addition to medication management (if indicated).

I am a Staff Psychiatrist with Talkiatry. I previously served in the US Air Force, where I completed my residency training in psychiatry (Lackland AFB) and was the medical director for a small-sized mental health clinic (Hill AFB).

I work collaboratively with my patients to provide treatments tailored to each patient's individualized needs. I prioritize building trusting relationships and fostering open communication. Patients can expect a compassionate approach often with utilization of supportive therapy, mindfulness, and at times cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic psychotherapy techniques to address their psychosocial stressors and unique needs. I am experienced in treating patients with a variety of mental health diagnoses including but not limited to depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and those with a history of substance use disorders.

I am a psychiatrist board certified in General Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. I completed my medical and psychiatric training at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN and a fellowship in Addiction Medicine at Baptist Memorial Hospital in collaboration with IAC (Integrated Addiction Care) in Memphis, TN. I have clinical experience and practice working with other specialties and disciplines in treatment teams and integrated care models both in the inpatient and outpatient setting. I have held an academic appointment at Baptist Memorial Hospital where I enjoyed teaching and supervising medical residents and fellows in training. I most recently served as the Regional Behavioral Health Medical Director for a group of mental health clinics throughout Tennessee, and as the Chief of Psychiatric Services for a residential treatment facility in Mississippi that also had Partial Hospital and Intensive Outpatient Programming (PHP/IOP).

I am board certified in adult psychiatry and have been practicing for over 36 years. My practice has focused primarily on medication management within the context of a supportive psychotherapeutic relationship. I also utilize cognitive behavioral techniques. If a patient requires more intensive psychotherapy, I refer them to a therapist and collaborate with that therapist. I have experience treating Depressive Disorders, PTSD, Panic Disorder, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, and many other conditions. I feel my personal strengths include my inquisitiveness, scientific curiosity, and my desire to understand my patients better.

I was born in Hungary, just a few months before the Hungarian Revolution against the Soviets broke out in 1956. My family and I fled under difficult circumstances and immigrated to the United States. I grew up in New York City, attended The Bronx High School of Science, and went on to Columbia University for my B.A., where I took a double major in chemistry and music. After obtaining my M.D. from S.U.N.Y. in Syracuse, I returned to New York City for residency and fellowship training. During this time I won the Bendheim Fellowship Award at Cohen Children's Medical Center for a research study that examined the effects of background music on the academic performance of children with ADHD.

My current areas of interest include adult ADHD, psychiatric and medical co-morbidities, and the LGBTQ population.

I am board certified in Adult Psychiatry. Patients looking for a psychiatric provider will find that I have a gentle and approachable style. I believe that each patient was created on purpose and for a purpose. The brain is deeply wired for resilience, and I am blessed to witness that while supporting it in my patients. I focus on medication management with supportive psychotherapy as I treat a wide variety of psychiatric diagnoses.

I emphasize compassionate, comprehensive psychiatric care. My practice integrates medication management, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation. I specialize in treating Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Social Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and ADHD. I treat each patient as a whole person, considering life stressors, personal goals, and overall functioning, all within a nurturing and non-judgmental environment.

Patients can expect their first visit with me to be thorough, compassionate, and patient-centered. I take time to actively listen and fully understand each individual's symptoms, stressors, goals, and personal needs. I emphasize creating a trusting, non-judgmental environment and collaborate closely with patients to develop tailored treatment plans that support them in achieving their optimal mental health and well-being.

I am a psychiatrist with over 20 years of clinical experience practicing psychiatry in Nebraska and South Florida. I completed my Adult Psychiatry Residency Training at Creighton-Nebraska University.

Dr. Gaveras's practice focuses on medication management. Typically, she offers this in conjunction with supportive or emotionally focused therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. However, occasionally Dr. Gaveras may believe that additional therapy is also needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome.
