Kristina Pham, DO, emphasizes a care philosophy centered on collaboration with patients, families and communities to promote understanding, empathy and overall well-being. She is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and grow into the person they aspire to be.
Driven by a desire to serve underserved populations, Dr. Pham chose to pursue a career in health care with the goal of making a meaningful community impact. She focuses on uncovering root causes of issues, advocating for patients with mental illnesses and ensuring that everyone receives the support necessary to thrive.
As a specialist in child and adolescent mental health, Dr. Pham treats mental health conditions through therapy and medication management. She works closely with health care professionals, families and community leaders to deliver comprehensive, personalized care.
Her interest in this specialty stems from her understanding that many psychiatric conditions originate in childhood, and that untreated symptoms can have long-lasting effects into adulthood. By addressing these issues early, she aims to help children and their families achieve the best possible quality of life.
Dr. Pham is committed to fostering a supportive and collaborative environment. She emphasizes building trust, active listening and providing holistic, compassionate care that considers the whole child rather than just presenting symptoms.
