Expert Mental Health Consultants

I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist, Duke MBA graduate, and founder of shrinkMD, a national virtual mental health platform dedicated to providing accessible, high quality psychiatric care to adults. With over a decade of clinical experience, I’ve treated individuals from all walks of life ranging from high performing executives and elite athletes to students and underserved populations. My approach blends deep clinical insight with the strategic thinking of a healthcare entrepreneur, giving me a unique lens into the future of mental health care. My background in sports psychiatry includes consulting roles with professional organizations like the NFL and Jacksonville Jaguars, where I’ve supported athletes in navigating performance pressure, identity challenges, and psychological recovery from injury. These experiences have sharpened my focus on mental resilience, optimization, and the intricate connection between mind and body. I'm widely recognized for my work in urgent care psychiatry, helping patients find rapid, effective relief from acute mental health challenges without the long wait times that plague traditional systems. At shrinkMD, I lead a care model rooted in the biopsychosocial and spiritual framework, ensuring that every individual is treated as more than a diagnosis honoring their unique history, strengths, and personal bandwidth. Beyond clinical care, I’m deeply committed to addressing the systemic barriers that keep people from accessing mental health services whether that’s a lack of providers, financial constraints, stigma, or outdated delivery models. My work sits at the intersection of mental health innovation, digital health, and patient centered care, and I’m passionate about changing the narrative around what psychiatric support can look like in today’s world. I am a trusted voice on a range of topics, including telepsychiatry, burnout, workplace mental health, healthcare equity, emotional wellness, performance psychology, and the future of virtual care. I provide clear, concise, and thought provoking commentary that connects clinical science with real life relevance whether it's for national media, healthcare publications, or expert panels. If you're seeking an authoritative, articulate, and forward thinking mental health expert, I’m available to provide expert insight, commentary, and collaborative thought leadership.

My clinical work focuses on helping clients heal, build resilience, and create long-term personal growth through a strength-based, holistic approach. I also specialize in court-ordered coparenting counseling, family therapy, and reconciliation therapy. In these settings, I prioritize patience, clear communication, and emotional safety so every participant feels heard, respected, and supported throughout the process. I am licensed in both Pennsylvania and Florida and offer sessions in person and virtually to accommodate the needs of my clients.

I’m Vaishnavi Sarfare: a mental health advocate and the founder of unBurden Chat Buddy, a free, anonymous, AI-powered platform offering 24/7 emotional support via text and voice in over 75 languages.

Through personalised, science-backed EFT, I help you gently release stress, regulate your nervous system, and feel lighter: mentally and physically. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or recurring patterns, our sessions are a safe space to reconnect with calm, clarity, and yourself.

Having witnessed firsthand the accessibility gaps in the mental healthcare system, I’ve committed myself to combining psychology, technology, and advocacy to make mental well-being support equitable.

Board Certified PMHNP & Mental Health Expert: Bridging Psychiatry, Psychology, and Real-Life Dynamics (Relationships, ADHD, Crisis Care). With over 14 years of clinical experience, I bring a rare dual perspective to mental health coverage: the diagnostic precision of a medical professional combined with the empathetic, human-centric approach of a psychologist. My practice is not just about treating symptoms; it is about decoding the human behaviors behind them. ​Covering the full lifespan—from 5-year-olds to geriatric patients—I am able to speak authoritatively on family dynamics at every stage of life. CORE EXPERTISE FOR MEDIA: ​1. Interpersonal Relationships & Couples Dynamics: My work focuses on the psychology of connection. I provide insights on conflict resolution, "mixed-neurotype" couples (e.g., ADHD partners), and navigating modern family stressors. The goal is to explain why people fight, rather than simply medicating the anxiety it causes. ​2. ADHD & Neurodivergence (Lived Experience): My perspective on neurodivergence is grounded in deep personal reality, not just clinical theory. As the sole legal guardian and caretaker of a blind uncle with profound autism, I understand caretaking and sensory processing from the inside out. This allows me to discuss how executive dysfunction truly affects careers, marriages, and self-esteem. ​3. The "Human Approach" to Mental Health: Building rapport with anyone—from non-verbal patients to high-functioning executives—is the cornerstone of my method. I can discuss the art of overcoming resistance to therapy and de-stigmatizing mental health in conservative cultures. ​4. Clinical Authority: ​Frontline Experience: Currently serving on staff at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center (Psychiatric ER & Inpatient), dealing with acute crisis stabilization. ​Industry Thought Leadership: Selected by a major pharmaceutical company to consult on a breakthrough treatment for Postpartum Depression. ​Multicultural Perspective: Fluent in English, Russian, and Farsi, offering unique insights into immigrant mental health.

I’m a serious yet lighthearted board-certified psychiatrist in private practice for the past 30 years. I’m also a career-long educator/supervisor for psychiatry residents and other mental health professionals. I do public outreach as well. My blog about psychiatry and psychotherapy began in 2008. I launched a YouTube channel on "psychotherapy and psychologically-informed psychiatry" in spring 2024, and continue to post a video every two weeks. My office practice is mainly psychodynamic psychotherapy. I aim to be down to earth and non-mysterious about it — more like a conversation, less like a "blank slate." Naturally, I include other approaches when appropriate, including psychiatric medication. But my main interest is psychotherapy: both in my practice, and in public discussions of how "therapy" has been reduced in the public's mind to "tips, tools, and strategies," not its original higher aim of insight about oneself. In the distant past I published psychotherapy research; you can look me up on PubMed or ResearchGate. I served as medical director of a mental health clinic for 10 years, chaired the Continuing Medical Education (CME) Committee of a major medical center for over a decade, and served on their Ethics Committee. I’ve been a psychiatric consultant to the State Bar of California, and an expert witness once or twice. I present “grand rounds” lectures to hospital departments, and I welcome opportunities to be a public speaker. Aside from clinical interests, I’m a lifelong techie. I've discussed the role, good and bad, of AI in mental health. And I hold a 2nd degree black belt in Aikido, a uniquely pacifist martial art. I'm slowly writing a book, kind of a memoir, on the parallels between depth psychotherapy and Aikido. Thanks for reading.
