Shabnam Jindal, DNP
Hello! I am Shabnam you can call me "Shab" and I am excited to be part of the Better Stories team. I graduated from University of Pittsburgh with my undergraduate and graduate degrees. Previously I worked in geriatric psychiatry and with adults with serious mental illness. I have a special interest in adult and older populations and minority populations. I support the use of medications when appropriate and believe the non-medication part is equally as important. I look forward to working together on a treatment plan that works for you!
