After moving to another state, the maze of trying to find a new doctor while also struggling to get an appointment before winter was exhausting. I was apprehensive never using telehealth in the past but was pleasantly surprised to get an appointment next day, met with my doctor through video chat and he listened, went through my medical history with me and was able to send in a prescription before we were all done. Well worth my time and money and I will certainly use Klarity in the future.

About Praveen
Hello, my name is Praveen Bodakunta. I’m a U.S. Army veteran and board-certified psychiatric practitioner through ANCC with over 15 years of clinical experience. I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate the mental health system, and my mission is to offer compassionate, high-quality care for adults, adolescents, and children facing emotional and psychological challenges.

I treat a broad range of conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD, with a special focus on complex cognitive disorders like ADHD. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and personalized—working closely with each patient to create a treatment plan that fits their unique needs and goals, all from the comfort and privacy of home.

Known for my down-to-earth and approachable style, I take the time to listen, keep an open mind, and build strong therapeutic relationships. I'm currently accepting new patients and look forward to supporting you on your journey toward improved mental wellness.
