Aya Ajrouche, PA

Why did you choose to practice psychiatry?
As someone who has been a long time mental health advocate, I chose to practice psychiatry to help increase access to mental health care for patients. I am passionate about helping people live their life to the fullest and help them reach their goals.

Who or what inspires you in your work as a psychiatry provider?
I am inspired daily by patients who take the brave and sometimes difficult decision to ask for help. One of the greatest and most challenging things we can do is seek out care and talk to someone. I believe psychiatry treatment has the potential to be a very valuable tool for many to improve their mental health.

How can you help? Talk about your specialty and what you offer.
As a PA-C with added specialty qualifications in psychiatry, I have experience in treating patients by providing both medication management and a comfortable supportive atmosphere. I believe in a holistic approach in psychiatry that may include patients receiving medication management, mental health therapy services as well as education about impactful lifestyle changes.
