Katherine Watkins, MD - Female Psychiatrist Los Angeles

I maintain a practice in General Adult Psychiatry in West Los Angeles, where I provide evaluation, diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of psychiatric disorders and emotional problems. I am currently seeing patients both in-person and through telehealth.

I have expertise in psychopharmacology (medications) and psychotherapy for the treatment of psychiatric disorders, and thus am able to provide integrated and comprehensive treatment that is suited to each individual. I believe the best treatment approach is a collaborative one, grounded in integrity and respect, and supportive of who you are. I practice a specific type of psychotherapy called Intensive Short Term Dynamic psychotherapy, or ISTDP.

I also have specialized experience in women's mental health and can provide evaluation or treatment for psychological issues related to menstruation, pregnancy, infertility, menopause, as well as treatment of psychiatric disorders through pregnancy and postpartum periods. As the parent of a trans child, I also enjoy working with trans and gender nonconforming young adults as they explore their identity.

To all my current and future patients: As a physician, my intention is to make care available to those in need. I am able to see you and provide treatment either in-person or through tele-health. Feel free to contact me if you would like to have your appointment remotely.
