We chose the name Jiva (pronounced Jee-vah) because it reflects the core essence of our mission. In Sanskrit, Jiva (जीव) means “life force” or “individual soul”. 

It reflects our commitment to nurture the inner strength, growth and healing within each person. 

At Jiva Psychiatry, we aim to strengthen that life force and provide compassionate, integrative mental health care that treats the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Jiva symbolizes our belief that mental wellness is about reconnecting with your true self, honoring each unique journey with cultural competence and clinical excellence.

Jiva is not just a name – it embodies the heart of our mission.
