Meet Jasmine Sawhne, MD, MBA
Board-certified psychiatrist. Telehealth care for patients in California and New York.

Dr. Jasmine Sawhne is a board-certified psychiatrist who treats a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, postpartum and perinatal conditions, eating disorders and psychosis.
After completing her fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, she served the community through a nonprofit organization in Philadelphia, working with some of the most underserved populations. After moving to the Los Angeles area, she continued her career in outpatient care with a large hospital network.
Seeing a clear gap in care across those settings, she started her own practice. It lets her take a patient-first approach: individualized treatment plans, evidence-based medication management, and care that is coordinated with your other medical providers. She has experience with many therapeutic approaches and with patients from diverse backgrounds.
Approach
- Focus. It starts by identifying your goals.
- Reflect. Next, we look at the barriers to those goals and how to get past them.
- Refine. Then you keep refining your new skills, with support, as life changes.
