About Amninder Ripsy
"I started my career in psychiatry at the age of 15 and had been always interested in psychology psychopathology psychiatry combined. I went to nursing school and then medical school where I got a M.D degree to pursue my passion. I then realized I was missing the most important part, which is the holistic approach and Humanistic approach when interacting with patients and giving them a diagnosis which can change ones life. Not only that, my passion began for therapy as a kid when I myself grew up in a house full of problems and struggles with a lot of misunderstandings and being unable to talk about personal problems due to culture, race, issue, ethnicity, religion and much more playing a role. Anxiety, stress, major depressive disorder, PTSD, OCD, neurological related disorders and most importantly trauma are one of my highlights of experience.
I wanted to combined therapy with medicine as my heart and soul have only been there and I see my self doing nothing else except helping someone in need. My purpose of relocating to the east coast is to pursue my career in medicine as a doctor but also to pursue my career in clinical psychology with a perspective PhD in clinical psychology. Aligning therapy with medicine and trying to help individuals suffering is where my heart calls for the most. I am here for a purpose and to help individuals understand themselves and find themselves while offering resilience and existential and Humanistic approach using person centered therapy and many more therapeutic approaches.
