Adult Psychiatrist Serving Sherman Oaks
Integrative psychiatric care minutes from the Valley, at the Cahuenga Pass — in person or by telepsychiatry
Psychiatric Care for Sherman Oaks Adults
Dr. Margarita Krasnova is a board-certified adult psychiatrist with more than 25 years of clinical experience. The office is on Cahuenga Blvd at the Cahuenga Pass — the corridor that links Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, right next to the Studio City side — which makes it an easy drive for Sherman Oaks residents, typically 15 to 20 minutes via the 101 depending on traffic. Patients are seen in person at the office or by secure telepsychiatry anywhere in California.
For Sherman Oaks patients who would rather not cross to the Westside, this is one of the more convenient psychiatric offices on the Valley edge. The practice is private and out-of-network, with unhurried appointments and care managed directly by Dr. Krasnova.
An Integrative Approach
Integrative psychiatry treats the whole person — biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors — rather than symptoms in isolation. When medication is appropriate, it is used conservatively and combined with psychotherapy in the same relationship, alongside attention to sleep, stress, and daily patterns.

Conditions Commonly Treated
Dr. Krasnova provides comprehensive adult psychiatric care, including:
- Anxiety: generalized anxiety, panic, and performance-related anxiety
- Adult ADHD: evaluation and treatment of attention and executive-function difficulties
- Depression and mood: major depression and persistent low mood
- Sleep and stress: evaluation of sleep disruption and stress-related symptoms
- Bipolar spectrum: mood-cycling conditions
In-Person or Telepsychiatry
Sherman Oaks patients can choose what fits their week. In-person visits take place at the Cahuenga Pass office; secure telepsychiatry is available to anyone located in California and is often preferred for follow-up medication appointments. The standard of care is the same in either format.
Getting Started
The first appointment is a thorough, unhurried evaluation — time to understand your history, current concerns, and goals before any plan is proposed. As an out-of-network practice, the office provides itemized statements for possible reimbursement; see the fees page for current rates.
