Therapist & MD Specializing in supporting international. undergraduate and grad students thrive in Arizona - virtual and in person appointments available.

Dr. Gurjot Reena Marwah, MD- I am a Psychiatrist Supporting Undergraduate, Graduate & International Students in Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Throughout Arizona. For undergraduate students, college may be the first time away from home and familiar support systems. While independence can be exciting, it may also bring homesickness, loneliness, relationship challenges, academic pressure, and uncertainty about the future. For graduate students, research deadlines, demanding schedules, financial concerns, competitive academic environments, career uncertainty, and personal responsibilities can contribute to anxiety, depression, ADHD, or burnout—even among highly successful students. For international students, adapting to a new culture, communicating in another language, navigating visa concerns, and living far from family can feel isolating while adding pressure to succeed academically. I understand some of this journey personally. Born and raised in India, I moved to the United States in my twenties for graduate training. That experience continues to inform my understanding of students building their education, careers, relationships, and lives away from home. For nearly 30 years, I have specialized in caring for undergraduate and graduate students, including a large international student population. I provide support throughout the Tempe, Phoenix, and Scottsdale communities, as well as to students attending colleges and universities across the greater Phoenix area. In-person and telehealth care make culturally sensitive psychiatric support more accessible throughout Arizona. As a Past President of the Arizona Psychiatric Society, representing more than 500 psychiatrists, I advocate for young adults with mental health concerns and worked to improve access to quality psychiatric care for them in Arizona. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based psychiatric care. I commonly treat:     ●    Anxiety, panic, and performance anxiety     ●    Depression and mood disorders     ●    ADHD and executive functioning challenges     ●    Academic stress and burnout     ●    Homesickness, loneliness, and adjustment difficulties     ●    Life transitions and relationship stress Treatment is individualized and may include medication management, supportive therapy, and practical, goal-oriented strategies guided by current psychiatric best practices. My goal is to help students feel better, function better, regain confidence and focus, and create a healthier balance between academic success and life outside school. I provide a warm, culturally sensitive, and collaborative environment where students can speak openly, feel understood, and receive care tailored to their needs. You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to reach out. In-person and telehealth appointments are available, with immediate openings.
