My association with Dr. Sangle goes back around 9 years, and it is ironic that it was a common client who introduced us to each other during the course of treatment. In the past years, we have worked closely with some very complex clients ranging from those with dissociative disorders to severe depression, bipolar, and many with a borderline personality disorder. Clients usually develop instant trust with Dr. Jyoti because of her pragmatic yet empathic approach. Whenever a client is reluctant to meet a psychiatrist for fear of dependency on meds, I will usually recommend that they meet Dr. Jyoti. This is because she suggests medication only as per a client’s needs, and after a thorough evaluation. Most clients do not come back with a “fruit salad” of medication. She is also perhaps one of the few doctors who will in a straightforward way tell a patient they need therapy, not medication! It is rare to see a Psychiatrist do that. All I can say is I am fortunate to have Jyoti as a colleague, sounding board, and mentor.
