Dr Kolli is an amazing physician. Dr Kolli gave me my life back. I wasn’t living my life before I met her I was just existing. I was suffering from horrible panic attacks and anxiety before I met her. Thanks to Dr Kolli I was able to travel overseas to Europe for 5 weeks with less than 3 months on treatment. I absolutely recommend Dr Kolli to anyone who needs help.

Growing up locally in Freehold, Dr. Kolli’s interest in medicine started at an early age. However, it was during her psychiatry rotation in medical school that she recognized her calling.
Dr. Kolli was captivated by psychiatry because she noticed everyone’s struggle with things like depression was unique. She believed that because everyone’s story is different, their treatment should be just as personalized.
This insight fueled the philosophy that care must be as distinct and individual as the person seeking care and it has become the cornerstone of her practice. Dr. Kolli takes the time to delve into the tapestry of each person’s life—understanding the unique interplay of childhood experiences, relationships, educational and work history, and life stressors that combine to manifest conditions like depression or anxiety disorders.
For Dr. Kolli, a treatment plan is more than just a prescription—it’s a roadmap to modify various aspects of life that may contribute to a patient’s symptoms. Her specialty lies in the thoughtful integration of medication management with therapy, ensuring that each individual receives a holistic strategy for mental health wellness. This approach goes beyond dispensing medication; it’s about fostering an environment where healing and growth can flourish, tailored to each patient’s narrative and needs.
In her personal life, Dr. Kolli cherishes the balance between her professional commitments and her pursuits.
