Dr. Vina Mahmoodi, resident psychotherapist

A graduate of the University of Illinois-Chicago’s Medical School, Dr. Mahmoodi is pleased to confront the wide range of challenges offered by the Brinkvale Psychiatric Institute. In her spare moments (which are quite few!), she often reflects on how fortunate she is to confront a wider variety of cases in a single year than many therapists see in their entire career.

Dr. Mahmoodi feels more devoted to her patients every day, and she is continually inspired to go back to medical journals to learn about the various diagnoses and treatments she has encountered at Brinkvale. She knows that confronting new things is the best way to learn, and she is practically overwhelmed by the amount of education that Brinkvale Psychiatric continually provides.
