Dr. Bruno Perossa, MD
I draw upon my own worldly experience as someone who has grown up in a Texas household of first generation Americans. I have witnessed the downstream effects, first hand, of mental health challenges and strive to attack these challenges with youth who are struggling in order to improve their long term prognosis in the future by treating early. I have lived abroad over a decade in Europe working and educating myself as well as achieving fluency in multiple languages. The art of linguistics is one of my side passions. I’ve done humanitarian work with the Nahuatl Native Central Americans in Mexico; Quechuan Native South Americans in Peru; North African immigrant children in Northern Italy as well as youth in an orphanage in Wolsztyn, Poland. I have a passion for understanding people as uniquely themselves within the framework of their cultural context, and welcome a spiritual and faith based approach to the lived human experience as well as diversity of all types into my practice.
I have worked in multiple clinical settings as an attending psychiatrist including outpatient, inpatient pediatric acute care, consult liaison psychosomatic medicine as well as emergency room psychiatry exposing me to a wide gamut of behavioral health disorders in both the pediatric & adult population. I have also contributed to academic publications.

Dr. Kavita Bhatnagar, MD
I was born and raised in Illinois. I have always had a passion for medicine and the interphase between neurology and psychiatry as well as the cultural & religious implications that impact mental health. I value understanding the human experience and hearing each individual’s narrative of life experience. In practice, I tend to be both psychodynamically oriented and value conservative approaches to medication management while ensuring our children and ourselves are building on resiliency and having the skills to manage the vicissitudes of life. I work collaboratively with children, parents and adults in trying to best understand how to support and navigate challenges in life. I completed my undergraduate studies and medical school in Illinois and went on to complete my residency in general adult psychiatry as well as a fellowship in child & adolescent psychiatry at the University of Chicago. I currently provide telehealth services on weekends for patients in Minnesota looking for psychiatric care.
