Vast ocean with calm waves under bright sky, horizon barely visible.

Within you, in a drop, lies an entire ocean.

Welcome to Inwardly Psychiatry. I am Dr. Anaheed Shirazi, a board-certified adult psychiatrist based in San Diego. I provide holistic mental health care including medication management and psychotherapy to residents across California, both virtually and in person. My approach is integrative and supports sustainable changes that will help you live a more meaningful and fulfilling life amidst life's challenges.

This approach invites you to turn inward, to become aware, inwardly, of the emotional patterns you’ve carried and begin meeting them with curiosity instead of judgment.

My role is to provide a safe and compassionate space as you embark on the inward journey, and to hold space for the feelings that have been quietly carried, unheard, and unseen, which may have felt heavy over time. In tending to these parts of your inner landscape compassionately, you create more room to live with intention, aligned with what truly matters to you. Medications may be recommended to facilitate change, but they are not a replacement for the deeper inner work we’ll do together.

Contact Me to Book an Appointment

I offer a 10-minute phone consultation free of charge, an opportunity for both of us to consider whether the level and type of care I offer are appropriate and responsive to your needs at this time.

Please text (858) 342-0203 to book a 10-minute phone call with Dr. Shirazi.

The complimentary 10-minute call is intended to help us determine if Inwardly Psychiatry is a good fit for your needs. This call is not a clinical evaluation and does not establish a therapeutic or physician–patient relationship. A provider–patient relationship will only be established after a formal intake appointment and mutual agreement to treatment.
