Dr. Karina Fatova, MD

Dr. Karina Fatova is a trauma psychiatrist who hails from New York City but has made New Orleans her home for the past ten years. She believes that her rapport with her patients, and their therapeutic work together, is just as important as the medication she prescribes to heal or alleviate their symptoms. Though her passion is Complex Trauma/PTSD, she also regularly sees patients who have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and adjustment disorder. She can help you target symptoms such as sleep issues, nightmares, persistent worry, emotional dysregulation, frequent mood changes, impulsivity, and “toning down the nervous system,” among others. She strongly believes that treatment decisions are best approached as a collaboration between patient and doctor. She sees young adults who are just starting their journey into adulthood, as well as adults who have been navigating life with challenges, which may include untreated, or poorly treated, mental health symptoms. Often, by the time Dr. Fatova sees a patient they may have lost a significant amount of faith in their mental health doctors, and she is particularly attuned to helping individuals with this type of experience.
