Ani Tokat MD, Inc.

Hello. I am Dr. Ani Tokat, the founder and CEO of Psychiatry 4 Women. I treat adult women in all stages of their lives, with a special emphasis on mental health for moms. I created this therapy-based Women's Mental Health Practice in honor of my own stay-at-home mother, who devoted her life to her children, while suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. I vividly recall the joy on her face when she first got her diagnosis. Her years of agony, getting told that there was nothing wrong with her, had finally reached closure. There was a medical explanation that would validate her suffering. Since then, I have developed an intense desire to devote my life to women's health, where every woman who enters my door will be heard. No symptom will be dismissed. Every effort will be put in to understand the person as a whole. And it is this type of thorough, dedicated attention that you will get when you join this practice. Welcome to Psychiatry 4 Women. In addition, this is primarily a solo Telepsychiatry practice throughout California, though in-person appointments are also available. You are no longer limited to care within your own town, which may have a shortage of Psychiatrists. Through HIPPA-compliant video visits, you can seek care in the comfort of your home or office without having to worry about running late, finding a babysitter, managing transportation time, all of which result in reduction of cost and stress. You will have direct access to me, your Board-certified Psychiatrist, from the time of scheduling to the initial evaluation and subsequent follow-up appointments. All questions, concerns, and appointments are handled directly by me. My practice emphasizes holistic care via the biopsychosocial model, integrating biological, psychological, and social/cultural factors in understanding patients and their Psychiatric problems. My expertise lies in comprehensive diagnostic assessment with Psychodynamic Formulation, integration of medical management with psychotherapy, lifestyle modification, along with extensive psychoeducation for both patients and their families. As a mother, doctor, educator, and an entrepreneur, I have great understanding of the unique challenges that women face. Whether you have children or not, this practice will give you a voice to be heard without judgement. It gives all women an opportunity to feel worthy, empowered, and appreciated. To be able to provide this type of individualized care without being dictated by third party organizations, this practice does not contract with any insurance companies. However, patients with out-of-network benefits can continue to use their plans and get reimbursed directly by their insurance company. This practice makes claim-filing EASY. Transparency about cost is of paramount importance in this practice, and therefore no bill will ever be a surprise for the insured, uninsured, and/or self-pay patients who have insurance but choose not to use their insurance. All costs will be discussed and agreed upon prior to seeking treatment. Lastly, and most importantly, this practice prioritizes the patient experience. Patients are not seen as symptoms but rather as human beings. I will laugh with you, empathize with you, and support you, because I will understand you. Contact me for a FREE 15 minute phone screening, and I will help you determine if this practice is a good fit for you.
