About Akhila Takkallapalli, PA-C

After working in multiple specialties of medicine, Akhila came back to outpatient psychiatry after realizing that mental health is the missing link in patients’ attainment of true wellbeing. She believes there is a crucial need now, more than ever, for medical providers to emphasize the importance of caring for one’s emotional and spiritual self just as much as the physical.  She feels fortunate to serve people in times of need and to be a reminding force of who they can become. Using evidence-based medicine and holistic approaches to mindcare, Ms. Takkallapalli offers her patients compassion and respect as she identifies how to attain the best results for the patient. In addition to her devotion to mindcare, Akhila also performs and teaches classical Indian dance, a practice that has afforded her lessons of discipline, perseverance and insight into the human condition that continually strengthen her work as a provider.  Ms. Takkallapalli provides medication management for a diverse range of mindcare needs.

    She is so very kind. And it continues to amaze me how she is able to connect so effectively with fragmented thoughts. The telehealth logistics of connecting to the appointment have dramatically improved.

    Dr. T is very unique. I am astounded by her memory and her ability to communicate. You don t feel rushed. She is able to somehow focus on your emotions despite fragmented thoughts. And she is pleasant and kind. I wish everyone could have a Dr. T.

    I love working with Ms Takapallapalli. I ve struggled to find a psychopharmacologist that would listen to my issues, then include me in the action plan. I trust Akilah - and I trust her references. She truly is a wonderful help and a sign of hope in my mental illness.

    My daughter felt more connected with the provider Mrs. Akilah as she was very down-to-earth, realistic, positive, and encouraging. She also gave great options and my daughter felt autonomous in the decision-making process.

    Akhila is simply the best therapist imaginable. She allows you to cite problems and then she offers solutions immediately instead of dragging things out through multiple sessions. Of course we revisit stubborn issues session after session but Akhila has given me more tools in the few months I ve talked to her than other therapists have in years. So pleasant and caring as well

    I felt very good about my experience with this practice! Akila was very kind and sweet too! She listened to my concerns and my struggles with empathy, and was very understanding with my life situations. She thoroughly explained the medications she recommended I try, and helped me choose the most beneficial one to try.
