Mala Gupta, MD
Director of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
“As the pace in mental health quickens and we are faced with so many changes, I am most captivated by what remains the same.  I continue to believe it is a privilege to work in a field that allows us to merge matters of the mind with those of the heart.  May the new millennium bring out patients improved access to quality care, a waning of the stigma associated with mental disorders and advances in our understanding of the complex human mind and soul.  And may we, as providers, continue to strengthen the foundations upon which treatment builds.”
