Bayan Jalalizadeh is a board-certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist who provides comprehensive psychiatric assessment and evidence-based treatment of children, adolescents, adults and families. This often involves helping to find or provide psychotherapeutic care, providing medication management when clinically indicated, and collaborating to strengthen the child or adolescent’s network of protagonists and caregivers. In his work with patients, Dr. Jalalizadeh seeks to practice with compassion and with a developmentally informed perspective. He believes that every young person has incredible potential, and he hopes to guide children, adolescents and families along the path of treatment to a more fulfilling, meaningful life.
As a general child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist, Dr. Jalalizadeh works with a range of ages, from pre-school and school-aged children to adolescents and young adults, and with a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depressive disorders, disruptive or defiant behavior, adjustment challenges, attention and concentration issues and neurodevelopmental differences, among others. Among several psychotherapeutic modalities in which he is trained, Dr. Jalalizadeh specializes in parent-child interaction training (PCIT), an evidence-based, attachment-informed, parent training via play-based activities.
After completing medical training at Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. Jalalizadeh completed his general psychiatry residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, followed by child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Jalalizadeh brings to his work a breadth of clinical and community experiences, including psychiatric emergency management, work with homeless youth and adults, school-based treatment, and care in correctional facilities—and, in his personal time, he has served for multiple years to build and co-facilitate several neighborhood adolescent empowerment programs. Outside of work, Dr. Jalalizadeh enjoys creative writing, designing games for young people, playing piano and violin, rock climbing and reading.
