Meet Dr. Amanda Pham
As a double board-certified psychiatrist and mom, I founded Constellation Psychiatry with a simple principle: to provide the same thoughtful, comprehensive, and high quality mental health care I'd want for my own family.
My approach is holistic and collaborative. I hope to empower patients and families to discover their inner light and realize their full potential. Like finding a constellation in the night sky, sometimes you just need some guidance to help you see the full picture.
Together, we’ll connect the dots and discover your brightest future.
Why Choose Constellation Psychiatry?
-
Specialized Care from Childhood to Parenthood
Mental health challenges present differently across childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and the perinatal period. With specialized psychiatric training in these developmental stages and life transitions, I provide evidence-based care tailored to meet your needs wherever you are in life.
-
Board-Certified Physician Expertise
Board certification represents the highest standard of specialized physician expertise in Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatry. You can trust that your care is grounded in rigorous and evidence-based medical training.
-
Balanced Approach to Medication
I understand parent and patient concerns about psychiatric medication. I neither rush to prescribe nor avoid medication when it could help. Instead, I carefully weigh the benefits and risks, start with the lowest effective doses, and monitor closely with your input at every step.
-
Quality over Quantity
Constellation Psychiatry is intentionally structured as a small practice to provide exceptional care. This approach allows for personalized attention, deeper therapeutic relationships, and a higher quality of service than is possible in larger settings.
