Dr. Anjali Shahi is a psychiatrist providing evidence-based, patient-centered mental health care in Oakland Park and throughout South Florida. She is dedicated to helping adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma-related conditions, adjustment disorders, and other psychiatric concerns through thoughtful, individualized treatment grounded in the latest advances in psychiatric medicine.
Dr. Shahi is passionate about making mental health care more accessible, reducing stigma, and ensuring every patient feels respected, understood, and actively involved in their treatment. She believes the best outcomes come from combining clinical excellence with genuine human connection, developing treatment plans that reflect each individual’s goals, values, and life experiences.
Journey and Approach to Care
Dr. Shahi earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences, with a minor in Psychology, from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County before completing her Doctor of Medicine at Ross University School of Medicine. During medical school, she completed clinical rotations throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, South Florida, and Chicago, gaining broad exposure to diverse patient populations and healthcare systems.
She is completing her psychiatry residency at Broward Health Medical Center, where she has developed comprehensive experience in emergency psychiatry, consultation-liaison psychiatry, outpatient psychiatry, and the care of medically complex and underserved populations. She also completed a significant portion of her outpatient psychiatric training at My Psychiatrist in Oakland Park, providing continuity of care within the very community she now serves.
Before residency, Dr. Shahi worked as a Clinical Research Coordinator, contributing to multiple psychopharmacology clinical trials evaluating emerging psychiatric treatments. This experience strengthened her understanding of evidence-based medicine and continues to inform her clinical decision-making, allowing her to integrate established standards of care with an appreciation for the future of psychiatric treatment.
Throughout residency, Dr. Shahi has remained actively involved in psychiatric research and quality improvement initiatives focused on psychosis, schizophrenia, mood disorders, continuity of care following psychiatric hospitalization, and healthcare accessibility. Her academic work reflects her commitment to continually improving patient outcomes while advancing the field of psychiatry.
Dr. Shahi approaches every patient with curiosity rather than assumptions. She believes psychiatric care should be collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in trust. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, she works alongside patients to understand the broader context of their lives, helping them build sustainable strategies that support long-term emotional health, resilience, and personal growth.
Fluent in English and Malayalam, Dr. Shahi is proud to provide culturally sensitive psychiatric care that reflects the diverse communities of South Florida.
