Meet Sheenie Ambardar of The Happiness Psychiatrist®: Sheenie Ambardar, MD

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sheenie Ambardar

Hi Sheenie, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started my solo boutique psychiatry practice, The Happiness Psychiatrist®, in 2012 after working for a large local medical provider. I was disillusioned with the quality of care I was able to provide working for a large medical corporation (e.g., being compelled to see patients a few times a year, instead of more frequently; not being able to prescribe newer, branded medications in an effort to cut costs; not offering holistic psychiatry and psychotherapy due to needing to follow a preset flow-chart, etc).

The reason I became a doctor was to genuinely help people to the best of my abilities. Having my own psychiatry, psychotherapy, and life coaching practice allows me to fulfill that dream in a way that feels good to my conscience.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Starting and building your own one-person business isn’t easy but if you feel a sense of “rightness” in what you’re doing, it makes it a little easier. I think I’ve learned so much about people, social dynamics, and human nature by having my own business. I’ve learned about both the good and not-so-good side of humanity, which has been enormously educational and valuable.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
Don’t let other people’s opinions of what you’re doing with your life deter you from following your inner compass and striving for your goals, passions, and dreams. If you’re a highly sensitive person and introvert like me, you’ll have to be extra careful not to let negative energy or judgment deter you from your goals but it’s definitely doable!
