Services
Psychotherapy, medication management, or both
Sattva Psychiatry was created as a private psychiatric practice offering medication-focused care and psychotherapy integrated within one sustained relationship with Vivek Jayadeva, MD.
The practice model supports adults seeking psychiatric evaluation and medication treatment, as well as selected adults interested in ongoing psychotherapy with medication expertise available when clinically appropriate.
New-patient scheduling is currently paused. The services below describe the practice model, but new evaluations are not presently being scheduled.
Treatment pathways
Two forms of psychiatric care
The appropriate treatment pathway depends on the person’s needs, whether another therapy relationship is already in place, and what appears clinically appropriate.
Medication management
Psychiatric assessment and medication treatment may be appropriate when prescribing is the primary need, including for adults who already work with a therapist.
Symptoms, previous treatment, medical factors, functioning, and the person’s goals inform medication decisions.
Psychotherapy with psychiatric treatment
Ongoing psychotherapy may be provided for selected adults who want medication expertise available within the same treatment relationship.
Medication may be used when helpful but does not need to be discussed or changed at every session.
Adults already engaged in regular individual psychotherapy would generally continue with that therapist and use psychiatric care for medication management and related consultation.
Evaluation formats
New-patient evaluation structure
These evaluation formats describe the intended starting points for care when new-patient scheduling is active.
Psychiatric Evaluation
Designed for adults seeking psychiatric assessment and medication treatment, including those who already work with a therapist.
The evaluation addresses the current concern, treatment history, medication experience, relevant medical factors, functioning, and treatment goals.
Extended Psychiatric Evaluation
Designed for adults interested in ongoing psychotherapy with Dr. Jayadeva, with medication available when clinically appropriate.
The additional time supports broader psychiatric assessment, discussion of psychotherapy goals and expectations, and evaluation of fit for ongoing treatment.
Established-patient appointments
Ongoing treatment formats
Follow-up type and frequency are determined within treatment based on clinical needs and the agreed treatment plan.
Medication Follow-Up
Intended for established patients whose treatment is primarily focused on medication management.
Visits review treatment response, side effects, functioning, clinically relevant changes, and the next treatment step.
Psychotherapy Follow-Up
Intended for established patients receiving ongoing psychotherapy from Dr. Jayadeva.
Medication management may remain available within the same psychiatric relationship when clinically relevant, without becoming the focus of every session.

Prospective patients should seek another local or telehealth clinician rather than delay needed assessment or treatment while waiting for the practice to resume scheduling.
