Hello, my name is Praveen Bodakunta. I’m a U.S. Army veteran and board-certified psychiatric practitioner through ANCC with over 15 years of clinical experience. I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate the mental health system, and my mission is to offer compassionate, high-quality care for adults, adolescents, and children facing emotional and psychological challenges. I treat a broad range of conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD, with a special focus on complex cognitive disorders like ADHD. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and personalized—working closely with each patient to create a treatment plan that fits their unique needs and goals, all from the comfort and privacy of home. Known for my down-to-earth and approachable style, I take the time to listen, keep an open mind, and build strong therapeutic relationships. I'm currently accepting new patients and look forward to supporting you on your journey toward improved mental wellness.

Dr. Praveen B, listens carefully and creates a very comfortable, non-judgmental environment. He made sure everything was okay and took the time to understand my concerns. This was my first appointment with him as my new provider, and it felt very comfortable. He has a good energy and a lot of patience, which made the experience positive. I’m glad to have him as my provider.

Working with Dr. Praveen was truly amazing. He is kind, empowering, open minded, holistic and supportive. The only reason that I am switching providers is due to insurance changes. If it weren't for that, I'd still be working with him. Very glad that we crossed paths!
