Proudly Serving the
Santa Monica Community
Santa Monica is synonymous with the California wellness ideal — a beachside city where biohacking, integrative medicine, and evidence-based approaches to health are embraced. It's a community where residents expect the science to match the standard of care.
Karma Doctors delivers exactly that — a data-driven psychiatric practice that combines qEEG brain mapping, Personalized TMS, and integrative medicine for a genuinely individualized approach. For Santa Monica residents who value this kind of precision, our Rancho Mirage clinic is 90 minutes east on the 10 Freeway.
From the Montana Avenue corridor to the neighborhoods near Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach, Santa Monica residents can access Karma Doctors via telehealth for ongoing appointments — or take the 10 Freeway east to our Rancho Mirage clinic for specialized in-person treatment.
Nearby Communities Served
Santa Monica's commitment to evidence-based wellness extends naturally to mental health. Karma Doctors brings the same scientific rigor — board-certified psychiatrists, brain mapping, and Personalized TMS — to the Coachella Valley, accessible from Santa Monica via telehealth or the 10 Freeway.

Frequently Asked Questions
We compiled a list of answers to address your most pressing questions regarding our psychiatric treatments, insurance, and the care we provide in the Santa Monica area.
Why see a psychiatrist near Santa Monica instead of a general doctor?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize exclusively in mental health. Unlike general practitioners, we offer advanced diagnostic tools such as brain mapping (qEEG), Personalized Repetitive TMS (PrTMS), and metabolic-aware medication management. At Karma Doctors & Associates, our board-certified psychiatrists provide a depth of expertise in complex conditions like treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder that goes far beyond what a primary care setting can deliver.
How far is Karma Doctors from Santa Monica?
Our nearest location in Rancho Mirage is just a short 15-minute drive from central Santa Monica via Highway 111. We also have offices in Palm Springs and Twentynine Palms, giving Santa Monica residents multiple convenient options for world-class psychiatric care without a long commute to a major metropolitan hub.
What is TMS therapy and is it available near Santa Monica?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. It is especially effective for patients with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and OCD. At Karma Doctors, we offer Personalized Repetitive TMS (PrTMS), which uses your unique brain map (qEEG) to tailor each session. This advanced therapy is available at our Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs locations, both easily accessible from Santa Monica.
Do you accept insurance for psychiatric services?
Yes, Karma Doctors & Associates accepts most major insurance plans. We recommend contacting our office directly at (951) 297-8375 or visiting our website to verify your specific coverage. Our team will work with you to maximize your benefits so you can focus on your treatment and recovery without unnecessary financial stress.
Do you offer telehealth appointments for Santa Monica residents?
Absolutely. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth appointments for patients who prefer the convenience of remote consultations. This is an excellent option for follow-up visits, medication management, and ongoing therapy sessions. Telehealth allows Santa Monica residents to connect with our board-certified psychiatrists from the comfort of their home.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation lasting approximately 60 minutes. Dr. Sunder or a member of our clinical team will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms and goals, and may recommend diagnostic assessments such as a qEEG brain map. From there, we create a fully personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, TMS therapy, lifestyle modifications, or a combination of integrative approaches tailored to your needs.
