About Dr. Dona Tversky
I am a psychiatrist with a private psychotherapy practice focused on depth-oriented work.
Experience
My educational and professional background is broad and deep and includes psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, research in public health and social sciences, and study and practice of Theravada Buddhism, which has a lot of overlap with the forms of psychotherapy I find most powerful.
I have provided psychotherapy and medication management in a range of psychiatric settings including medical clinics, day programs, public and private hospitals, prisons, and substance abuse programs.

For therapists
I offer psychodynamic case consultation for the Stanford psychiatry residency program and Baywell Psychiatry.
I am also available for one on one consultation as a one off meeting or in an ongoing way.
Community Work
Alongside my clinical practice, I teach, consult, and participate in projects focused on creating healthier psychological environments. These roles allow me to think “upstream” about mental health — how we cultivate the conditions that allow people to grow and flourish.
