FAQ
A child psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who completed medical school, a general psychiatry residency, and a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry. This medical training allows a child psychiatrist to diagnose psychiatric conditions, prescribe and manage medications, and provide psychotherapy. A therapist or psychologist provides talk therapy but cannot prescribe medication. Dr. Tashkandi is double board-certified, meaning he can provide both medication management and therapy — or coordinate care with your child’s existing therapist.
Dr. Tashkandi accepts patients beginning at age 3. Early evaluation and intervention — particularly for developmental concerns, ADHD, autism, and anxiety — leads to significantly better outcomes. He treats patients across the full lifespan through adulthood.
Several things set Dr. Tashkandi apart. He holds dual board certifications in both Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and General Adult Psychiatry — a distinction relatively few psychiatrists hold. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor at USC Keck School of Medicine, connecting his practice to the latest academic research. His concierge model means every patient always sees Dr. Tashkandi directly — not a resident, fellow, or nurse practitioner. And he is fluent in Persian (Farsi), serving Los Angeles’s Persian-speaking community with culturally competent care.
