Dr. Akash Kumar

Dr. Kumar’s schedule has been full (both for psychotherapy and medication cases). His clinical approach is shared by his colleagues at Ann Arbor Psych.

Dr. Kumar has lectured and spoken at the University of Michigan, forensic center, Conestoga High School, and across the prison system. He has particular interests in ADHD, anxiety, depression, personality, and psychopathy (having led a mental health team in maximum security prison for years). Throughout his career he has continued to expand his clinical repertoire by working in many different settings including: volunteering at a free clinic providing care to the homeless, and in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. He’s worked deeply with perpetrators- and victims- of physical and sexual abuse. Separately, he has run technology companies as well.

When needed, he will go beyond the usual 20 medications and utilize psychotherapy, labs to assess nutritional status, genetic testing, medical workups, neurological exams, and lifestyle modifications to help patients achieve their stated goals. Dr. Kumar does not accept those under the age of 18.
