Description
Hello! My name is Rupi Legha. I am a double-board-certified adult and child and adolescent psychiatrist providing telehealth services.
I absolutely love what I do and am deeply committed to supporting people through their healing journey. I work individually with children and adults, as well as with families. My professional interests include teaching and writing about antiracist approaches to clinical care, supervision of health care professionals, and curricula for medical students. I have expertise in global mental health, having lived worked full-time in Haiti and Peru for three years. Recognizing that we live and breathe in a deeply racist and oppressive society, I am here to nurture and support your wellbeing with therapy (and medications if needed) so you and your family can unlock their greatest joy.
In addition to being a committed healer, I am also a doting aunt and a daughter of Punjabi-Sikh immigrants.
I provide services through two different practices located in three states (CA, NY, NJ). My personal private practice operates in Los Angeles via televideo (with the potential for in-person services in the coming months). I also work for Be.WELL. Psychotherapy in both their Manhattan and Hoboken offices. My work through Be.WELL allows me to see clients both in NY and NJ. My private practice in Los Angeles (for CA clients) does not accept insurance, but I am happy to prepare a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Be.WELL. (for NY/NJ clients) has a billing team that can look into coverage by your insurance OR assist you with a payment plan.
