Sushila Chelliah, MD - Kaiser Permanente Northwest DC

Kaiser Permanente: Our mission is to keep you healthy. Under-one-roof convenience, 24-hour advice nurse, and online access to manage your health - anytime.

I diagnose and treat adults and adolescents with all psychiatric illnesses. However, I dont get hung up on labels and diagnoses. My patients describe me as authentic because I treat each person as an individual with their own specific symptoms and needs. I am committed to providing a safe space for LGBTQIA+ patients.I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and have worked in psychiatry for over six years. I earned my BSN and MSN from The George Washington University. While I primarily do medication management, I am also trained in DBT and existential therapy.

After creating a treatment plan, patients can use the MyCarePlan app to easily communicate with their provider, schedule appointments, record goals, track progress, and improve results.Patients seek help from our team for every type of mental health disorder, from depression, anxiety, and grief and loss, to complex conditions like eating disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and personality disorders.At Modyfi, our team also specializes in treating substance use disorders and developmental disabilities like autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Formacist, formerly Modyfi Pro, offers the help patients need to obtain community-based services.
