Kentucky Psychiatry

Good mental health is the center of a healthy life. Kentucky Psychiatry’s mission is to provide the tools one may need to achieve emotional wellness. We wish to ensure that each person seeking to improve their mental health has access to the care they need and deserve. Our team of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners and support staff work together to provide the highest quality care to each individual patient. Kentucky Psychiatry began as River Region Psychiatry Associates, founded by Dr. Shankar Yalamanchili (Dr. Chili) in 2008. Since the foundation of his practice, Dr. Chili’s vision has been to improve access to mental health care to those who need it most, when they need it most. Dr. Chili believes in the power of the mind-body connection, and that our mental health impacts our whole wellbeing. Because of this belief, Kentucky Psychiatry’s mental health services have expanded to include outpatient offices, hospitals, and mental health centers in cities across the states of Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee. We embrace the diversity of each community that we are a part of and seek to serve each patients as a whole person, not just treating symptoms. Each individual person requires his or her own individual treatment. Our team of professionals work together to provide you with an individualized treatment plan. This can include medication management and psychological assessments. Our services and treatment plans ensure that each patient is equipped with the tools they need to work towards emotional wellness.
