Mind
Psychiatry, deep-TMS and clinical research, care grounded in today’s science, with access to tomorrow’s.
Body
How we feel is also a function of how we see ourselves. Lumos Aesthetics cares for the body as part of the whole person.
Soul
Free community yoga, meditation and workshops, wellness open to everyone, our way of giving back.
And because the practice runs its own research arm, Dr. Maitra’s patients get first preference for cutting-edge treatments available only through enrolling clinical trials.
“To create a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their mental health needs with confidence and compassion.
Care that starts by listening.
Lumos Psychiatric is a patient-focused practice in Los Gatos and San Jose, led by Sarbani Maitra, MD. We treat the full range of mood, anxiety, attention and psychotic conditions, and every plan starts with the person, not just the diagnosis.

Cost & insurance, clearly.
Before your first visit, our team walks you through exactly what your plan covers and what anything costs.
How our cash-pay practice works
We do not participate with any insurance plans. You are welcome to use your health savings account or flex spending credit cards. We do provide a statement of service following the appointment.
Our Patients looking to be reimbursed by their Insurance, use their out-of-network benefits by submitting our insurance coded billing statement to their Insurance provider and are reimbursed per their coverage.
Some questions you may want to ask your insurance provider about seeing us as an ‘Out of Network’ medical provider:
- “Does my plan cover out of network benefits for mental/behavioral health?”
- “What is my deductible and what percentage will I be reimbursed after my deductible is met?”

★★★★★I found Dr Maitra and her wonderful staff during the pandemic. She was one of the very few doctors who responded to my many emails. Dr. Maitra is one of a kind! She is compassionate, genuinely cares about her patients, and willing to meet them where they are to help them get well.
★★★★★The doctor is very caring. She takes patient’s words into consideration and prescribes medication accordingly. She is super helpful too.
★★★★★I cannot recommend Dr. Sarbani Maitra and her team at Lumos Psychiatric Services highly enough. Finding specialized expertise for ADD can be a daunting process, but Dr. Maitra’s deep knowledge and clinical skill made me feel supported from day one. Beyond her impressive expertise, Dr. Maitra has a truly kind demeanor and a great sense of humor, which makes every session feel both productive and comfortable. It is rare to find a physician who balances professional excellence with such a warm, approachable personality. Her office staff is equally amazing, always professional, helpful, and welcoming. Additionally, the practice is in a great location right across the street from Stanford’s Good Samaritan Hospital, making it incredibly convenient. If you are looking for compassionate, expert care in San Jose, this is the place to go!
★★★★★Great Doctor and staff. It's rare to find psychiatric services that truly care about the patient's wellbeing over everything else.
★★★★★Dr. Maitra is a rare type of doctor. She takes extra time with each of her patients. Although this sometimes means waiting a bit more for your appointment, it ensures adequate time is given to address your issues. Dr. Maitra along with her staff are very friendly and accommodating. They provide snacks and water for while waiting in the lobby. The overall atmosphere in her clinic is that of a “mom and pop shop”. The staff are respectful and yet very personable. I cannot recommend her services enough.
★★★★★Dr. Maitra is awesome! I can't say enough about her. She cares about her patients and has a great team of co-workers. Swati goes above and beyond and handles extra tasks for me. More than recommended for anyone who wants a great professional at an accommodating clinic with a lovely team of staff members. Thanks for everything, guys!
★★★★★Dr Maitra is a great doctor. She helped me a lot overcoming some issues I had. As others reviews have said, she really cares about her patients. I recommend without hesitation.
★★★★★Dora, Peyton, Helen, and Shazia are the best. Never felt more comfortable at a clinic. I come back because i trust the people here.
★★★★★Finding the right doctor has been one of the hardest journeys I’ve ever been on — but Lumos Psychiatric has been nothing short of heaven sent. Dr. Maitra is truly one of a kind. Every time I leave her office, it’s like someone turned down the volume on all the noise in my head. That quiet confidence of I got this — she gives me that. Every single time. I don’t know how she does it, but she does. And the staff? I genuinely can’t say enough. Manisha, you are an absolute gem. Places like this remind you that the right support truly exists. Thank you
★★★★★Dr. Maitra saved my life. She doesn’t just sit with you for 15 minutes and send you on your way. She cares, she listens and she prescribes accordingly. Her staff was always responsive and caring. When I moved out of state she even helped me get set up with a new psychiatrist. I’m eternally grateful for Dr. Maitra and her staff.
★★★★★Lumos Clinical has been a God send for my Wife and I. Dr Maitra is someone who is extremely intelligent and qualified in her field and she is also very compassionate and understanding. She has a way of getting through to people, empathizing with them and really helping them. Then there is Riya, and if you are lucky enough to speak to her, you already know she exhibits the upmost compassion, empathy and care. She was a large reason I chose to take my Wife to Lumos and it led us to an amazing Dr and rest of staff.
★★★★★I didn't want to consult a psychiatrist because my lifestyle demanded mental health therapy. I thought I could do it all, handle it all, and be the superwoman everyone thought I was and my family expected of me...anxiety and depression took over my life and I tried everything to rise above it. In my 20s, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Left untreated, the symptoms tormented my life and hurt people I loved. Dr. Maitra is compassionate and the best psychiatrist around. She helped me understand I had a biological imbalance, not just a mental illness. She gave me the strength to share my journey without shame. Dr. Maitra has also been helping me with other private concerns, so I'm confident and hopeful I can overcome these too. Her office is gorgeous and her team handles the important aspects! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a second or third opportunity, is hesitant about a diagnosis, fears judgment, or has lost hope! She's humble and kind. If you trust her, she can change your life too!
★★★★★This is my first clinical trial experience and I look forward to many more with Lumos. They have the friendliest staff, they made me feel welcome and completely comfortable. I am afraid of having my blood drawn and have experienced by far, the best blood draw ever. I barely felt the needle, she was amazing. Love this place.
★★★★★Really solid experience. The staff is genuinely friendly and I didn’t run into a single issue. They even helped me sort out my commute from my home, which made things a lot easier for me. Good people and great service.
★★★★★Came in for the glp-1 study the staff was super friendly always asking how i was doing and i always felt comfortable. Honestly coming in every friday was probably the best part of my week not only because of the snacks but because the people were so kind.
★★★★★High quality interactions, highly competent staff and well compensated studies.
★★★★★Everything was great and enjoyable, the visits were quick and the staff is very friendly
★★★★★I was very impressed with the entire organization from top to bottom! Friendly staff, great communication, adherence to protocols, use of externs (with your consent) to aid in their training, attention to detail, services offered…. I really can’t say enough good things about my experience with Lumos. Would happily recommend them.
★★★★★Lumos clinic is very nice and clean all the staff are kind and respectful and very welcoming. I enjoyed coming here over the last 4 weeks and I hope to be able to return soon, the weather is beautiful here and the staff are all top tier!
★★★★★I had a great experience here. I highly recommend doing clinical trials with Lumos!
★★★★★Very nice and personable staff, clinic is also clean and organized.
★★★★★They took care of me and their instructions and feedback were very helpful.
