Navigating the landscape of mental health in the United States today presents diverse and challenging issues, especially for teenagers. Among the most prevalent mental health conditions affecting teens are:
Anxiety is a common experience for many teens, presenting in various forms such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, or specific phobias. These disorders can significantly impact their daily functioning and overall well-being.
Depression remains a prevalent issue among teenagers, characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities. It can affect their energy levels, concentration, and overall quality of life.
Disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating often emerge during the teenage years, closely linked to body image issues. These conditions can have severe physical and psychological consequences if left untreated.
While commonly diagnosed in childhood, ADHD can persist into the teenage years, affecting focus, impulse control, and organizational skills. These challenges can impact academic performance and social interactions.
Experimentation with drugs and alcohol can escalate into substance abuse among teens, posing significant risks to their mental health and potentially leading to addiction.
The pressures of academic achievement, social dynamics, and future planning can lead to significant stress among teens, sometimes resulting in disorders like PTSD or adjustment disorders.

★★★★★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!
