Dr. Borhan Darmal MD

I am a board-certified physician in General Adult Psychiatry with diverse clinical experience across emergency psychiatry, inpatient care, assertive community treatment (ACT), brain imaging, and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). My approach is grounded in a comprehensive understanding of both acute and chronic mental health conditions, allowing me to support patients across a wide range of needs—from crisis stabilization to long-term recovery and maintenance. I emphasize a holistic and integrative model of care, recognizing the connection between mental health, physical health, lifestyle, and environment. I am committed to patient empowerment through education, ensuring that you understand your diagnosis, treatment options, and the reasoning behind each clinical decision. I believe that effective psychiatric care begins with listening. I take the time to understand your unique story, values, and goals, and I work collaboratively with you to build a strong therapeutic alliance. My goal is not only symptom relief, but also helping you develop insight, resilience, and sustainable strategies for long-term well-being.
