Overview
Dr Kumari Richa is a Consultant Psychiatrist in Budigere Cross, Bengaluru, with over 10 years of total clinical experience, including 8 years in specialist psychiatric practice. She is a Gold Medallist from Karnataka in DPM (Psychiatric Medicine). She brings to her practice a clinical style that patients consistently describe as unexpected from a psychiatrist: minimal medication, patient-centred listening, honest explanations, and a way of helping people understand what is happening to them rather than simply prescribing a solution.
She completed her MBBS from Santosh Medical College in 2014 and her DPM in Psychiatric Medicine from MVJ Medical College, Bangalore, in 2020, securing the Gold Medal for Karnataka, the top rank in her postgraduate cohort. She holds certifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) from NIMHANS, Bengaluru, and in Psychosexual Medicine from Allo Health. She is currently Founding Head of the Department of Psychiatry at Stepcare, where she established and scaled psychiatric services from inception.
Patients can consult Dr Kumari Richa for a wide range of psychiatric and mental health concerns, depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, insomnia, stress-related disorders, relationship and sexual health concerns, addiction, and conditions requiring careful psychopharmacological management. Her training in psychosexual medicine makes her one of the few psychiatrists in Bangalore’s primary care setting who can address sexual health and intimacy concerns with clinical rigour and a genuinely non-judgemental approach. She has also worked with corporate clients at TCS and has experience with burnout, workplace stress, and performance anxiety.
At RxDx Clinics, Budigere Cross, Bengaluru, patients who need a psychiatrist whether for the first time or after unsatisfactory experiences elsewhere, will find in Dr Kumari Richa a clinician who is both technically well qualified and genuinely easy to talk to.
