About Us

I am a community-based Psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience in a variety of different practice settings.  I am dual board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine.  With a passion for lifelong learning and commitment to evidence-based medicine I maintain active memberships with the American Psychiatric Association, Integrative Practitioner, and the Clinical TMS Society for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

​

I grew up on Long Island, NY but fell in love with Vermont as a child through regular family visits to the state.  I attended the University of Vermont as an undergrad where I earned a BA in Psychology with a minor in Political Science.  After graduating college, I became interested in the study of Medicine.  I could see that for me an understanding of the interplay of physical health and illness and the impacts on psychological processes felt more complete.  This is also in the context of greater understanding of the impacts of various social determinants of health and how they are impacted by political and social systems.

​

 I attended medical school at UVM Robert Larner, MD College of Medicine and completed my residency training in Psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine. I specifically chose NYU for my Residency program so that I could develop my awareness and understanding of public and private health care systems and be exposed to a wide and diverse range of people, cultures, and clinical experiences.

​

While a resident at NYU SOM, I was able to branch out and cultivate many different interests and experiences.   I have always been fascinated by the relationships of science to the mystical.   I was raised with an awareness and practice of many different forms and modalities of healing and complementary or alternative approaches.  I was exposed to metaphysics and natural healing from a young age and have always had an awareness of the multidimensional realms of reality and experience.  Alongside my formal medical residency training, I studied a myriad of these approaches and training.   It was here that I learned to hone my intuitive skills, practice energy healing, and dove deeper into the study of mind body medicine.

​

At NYU, I helped to create a program with peers to gain additional training in Reproductive Psychiatry under the mentorship of Dr. Shari Lusskin.  This was one of the earliest programs designed to address women and persons throughout the perinatal journey, in particular, the post-partum period.  A firm believer in mindfulness based approaches and their impact on healing, I received additional formal training at the NYU Mind Body Medicine Program and New York Insight Meditation Center.

​

After Residency, I decided to pursue my love of Emergency Medicine and Psychiatry and accepted a position at Bellevue Hospital/NYU as an Attending Physician.  I have always had a natural interest in education and the administrative side of healthcare, so while there, I shifted roles.  I served first as the Associate Medical Director and then as the interim Medical Director of the Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program, one of the largest Emergency Psychiatry Programs in the World. As a clinical faculty professor at NYU SOM and

in my role as Medical Director of CPEP I was actively involved with the coordination, implementation,

and oversight of medical education and supervision for medical students

and residents in Psychiatry, Neurology, and Emergency Medicine.

​

Like many physicians and healthcare workers that work in Emergency Department settings, I experienced significant burnout and made the difficult decision to leave the position and focus on healing myself.  I was able to take a leave and while in between positions I used the time to journey inward and focus on mental and physical healing and nourishment.  I spent time traveling, went to Ashrams, attended retreats and courses, and understood on a deeper level how critical these alternate paths of healing, spirituality, and knowing were.  Taking this perspective and awareness, I transitioned to the outpatient setting.

​

I developed an approach that encompassed an integrative model to mental health treatment.  I co-founded the Center for Integrative Psychiatry in NYC and ran a successful private practice for many years. 

In that role, I developed and implemented curricula for an elective in

Integrative Psychiatry for Psychiatric Residents at NYU SOM.

​

I remained in these roles until my life path again took a turn.  I got married, moved out of NYC, and became a mother.  Balancing these new roles with work took some getting used to.  An experience that many women can relate to.  My career took a secondary role as I focused on raising my children.

​

During that time, I went back part time to employed medicine.  It was not long before I experienced the major shifts to medicine as the corporatization of our healthcare system unfolded and took over.  Job after job was the same story, physician owned, sold to private equity, and complete change in job roles and responsibilities following transfer of ownership.  Physicians would leave, not be replaced, and those of us remaining faced workloads that would double and triple.  The focus was on the volume of patients seen over caring for our patients.  These jobs were a path to accelerating burnout.  My last position I only was able to last 5 months before realizing how untenable it was.  Profits for the corporate entities were the point, and this was directly at the cost of patient care and our personal wellbeing as the ones providing the care.

​

During these transitions and after the pandemic, I made the decision to return to reside once again in my chosen home of Vermont, only this time it was with my family.  Realizing that I would not ever be able to sustainably practice in the corporate medical system, I made the decision to once again

step into my administrative role and along with my business partner and close friend,

opened two separate clinical practices in downtown Montpelier.

​

We founded Partners In Integrative Healing and State Street TMS in 2023.  Our opening was delayed by the major flooding in our downtown Montpelier location in July of 2023.  We officially launched in January of 2024.  Since that time, we have continued to grow our clinics while at the same time developing our roles and community driven mission as healthcare clinicians in an ever-changing landscape.  Over the course of the past 15 years the rates of Independently owned clinics nationally went from 75% to under 25%.  This was in direct response to Private Equity and the corporate takeover of Medicine.  

​

In retrospect, I was completely naïve to the unique challenges that would face us in this new healthcare landscape.  To remain viable in our practices, we had to have a fluid, flexible, and malleable approach.  We have had to make difficult decisions regarding the care that we wanted to provide in our community vs was feasible for a non-corporate or PE funded independently owned and operated medical practice. At the almost 3-year mark of founding our clinics, what I can tell you for sure is that while our clinic model has shifted several times to adapt, we remain committed to a vision of community-based and equitable access to healthcare for all.   We are proud members of HealthFirst Vermont, a nonprofit that supports Independent Practices in Vermont.  Independent Practices are good for patients, clinicians, and communities.  

 

We strive to be an inclusive and welcoming practice. We are committed to the examination and elimination of internal bias and the work of anti-racism.  We have a special interest in providing healthcare to marginalized individuals who experience discriminatory health care disparities in more traditional medical settings.  This includes; Women, persons who identify as female, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. As part of the #SameHere alliance, I remain committed to normalizing and reducing the stigma associated with mental illness and improving access to services for everybody.

​

My individual focus is on recognizing our interconnectedness while still focusing on the individual, recognizing that each person has their own unique set of experiences, needs, and goals of treatment. I have a particular interest and expertise in comprehensive evaluations and psychiatric diagnosis. My unique approach incorporates my knowledge of general medicine and psychiatry with my expertise in Interventional Psychiatry, psychopharmacology, nutritional neuroscience, nutraceuticals, interpersonal neurobiology,

metaphysics, Eastern religion and philosophy, intuition and intuitive channeling, mindfulness,

neuroplasticity, and mind-body medicine.

​

I am grateful to be living back in Vermont with my husband and now 9-year-old twins.  I have always felt a deep, spiritual connection with nature and to this land.  I practice love and respect for all beings on this earth. 

 

In my personal time I love reading and writing and recently started a Substack account, https://jadakhosla.substack.com/   My writing focuses on the interplay of human psychology

with current and past political and social movements. 

 

When I am not working or writing, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and our two dogs.  I enjoy doing anything outdoors, gardening, hiking, yoga, cooking and baking with my littles.
