Staff Psychiatrist

As a treatment component of our partial hospitalization program, each patient is seen by a staff psychiatrist.  Ami Chatrath, DO will provide a psychiatric evaluation and, if their individualized treatment plan calls for it, medication management. Dr. Chatrath will work with the patient and treatment team to monitor patients’ psychiatric stability for optimal recovery.

Dr. Chatrath completed his BS in Cellular & Molecular Biology at Texas Tech University in 2015 and earned his MBA at Texas Tech in 2015.  He earned his DO at the University of North Texas Health Science Center through the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. He finished his psychiatric residency at UT Health San Antonio in 2023 and served as chief resident of psychiatry for University Hospital, in his final year of training.

Dr. Chatrath believes that “progress always starts with the first step” and feels that working with patients is an honor that he takes seriously.  “I’m seeing people at their most vulnerable”.  He notes that the combination of psychiatric treatment, along with dietary guidance, are key to recovery.  “The way we view ourselves and our relationship with food is impacted by social norms and societal expectations.” Especially interested in helping the LGBTQIA+ community,  Dr. Chatrath notes that Esperanza’s “culture is one of compassion” and that compassion is extended to each and every patient.
