At Mind Align Psychiatry, we bring nearly two decades of professional experience in the field of psychiatry. Dr. Danish, our founder, has worked extensively with individuals of all ages, from children to adults, in diverse settings such as inpatient, emergency, and outpatient facilities. Through this journey, we have come to realize that mental health challenges do not adhere to a predefined schedule. The traditional approach to psychiatric appointments, which lacks flexibility, may no longer be the most effective method of providing care in this era of instant communication. Furthermore, we have observed the limitations and concerns surrounding various online mental health treatment platforms. Many of these platforms employ practitioners with limited experience and impose restrictions on the range of psychiatric medications they can prescribe. These insights have guided us to establish Mind Align Psychiatry with a clear vision: to provide real-time, patient-focused psychiatric services while upholding the highest standards of contemporary care.
Dr. Danish started his work in psychiatry in 2007, when he entered his residency at the University of Pennsylvania. He loved teaching and supervising medical students and was awarded the Penn Pearls Award for excellence in teaching. Since then he has enjoyed teaching and managing medical students, residents, fellows, and nurse practitioners.
Dr. Danish earned his undergraduate degree from Kenyon College and his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in 2007, where he received the Mastin Scholarship for academic excellence. He completed his adult psychiatry residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, followed by a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia/CHOP. He is board-certified in both adult and child/adolescent psychiatry.
With 15 years of psychiatric experience, Dr. Danish has treated patients ranging from preschoolers to the elderly, specializing in mood, anxiety, neurodevelopmental, executive function/ADHD, dual diagnosis, and psychotic disorders. He gained expertise in acute cases through over a decade in emergency and inpatient settings.
At Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry, our mission is to provide comprehensive and integrative care. We combine multiple psychological and medical disciplines to build a truly holistic, individualized model of treatment for our patients. Our goal of quality care ensures that providers are working as a team and collaborating on behalf of their patients.
Since our focus at Philly Integrative is to provide comprehensive care for all of our patients, we offer a full suite of collaborative and holistic health and wellness services.
Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry continues to keep our ears to the ground for newly developed or reconstructed versions of interventions that keep our patients mentally well. Our mission is to continue to evaluate this relationship, learn and adapt to the latest research, while constantly improving the care and services delivered to our patients.
