Priya Parmar, MD

Priya Parmar, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, and the founder of RISE Integrative Psychiatry at Westlake Village, California, with more than 25 years of clinical experience. She specializes in interventional psychiatry, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), while integrating psychodynamic therapy to provide deeply personalized, patient-centered care.

At RISE, Dr. Parmar combines advanced neuromodulation techniques with thoughtful, attuned listening—an approach designed to treat both the biological and emotional aspects of mental health. Her philosophy is simple: effective care addresses the whole person. While TMS supports brain function, therapy helps patients better understand their thoughts, patterns, and experiences, creating a more complete path to healing.

Dr. Parmar’s training in both psychoanalytic theory and modern psychiatric treatments allows her to bridge the gap between science and human connection. She founded RISE Integrative Psychiatry after recognizing a need for more cohesive, compassionate care—where patients are not just treated for symptoms, but truly understood.

Patients working with Dr. Parmar can expect a collaborative, respectful environment focused on long-term mental wellness. She is dedicated to helping individuals navigate conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma with evidence-based treatments and individualized support.

Dr. Parmar is committed to delivering thoughtful, integrative psychiatric care rooted in both expertise and empathy.
