Meet Dr. Sawhne
After a fellowship in community psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, I served some of Philadelphia’s most underserved communities, then practiced in a large Los Angeles hospital network. I started my own practice to give each patient the time and individualized attention that busy systems often can’t.

How care works
Free consultation
Dr. Sawhne reaches out to you herself for an unhurried, no-cost conversation about what’s going on and whether she’s the right fit to help.
Psychiatric evaluation
A comprehensive first visit, typically within the same week. You leave with a diagnosis, an explanation, and a plan you helped shape.
Ongoing care
Follow-ups for medication management, therapy, or both, adjusted as you improve.
Evening and weekend appointments are available, with the schedules of working professionals and parents in mind.
What patients say
I spoke to three different practitioners, each with different levels of education, approaches and backgrounds in my search to find the person I felt could help me… I felt the other people I spoke to rushed me, processing me in a textbook manner… Jasmine was very kind… I feel that true skill is being able to work with a person and see what they need and when, not just follow textbook approaches.
Great visit experience, good listener and knowledgeable on her area of expertise. I am thankful.
I felt informed and am grateful for the comprehensive explanation of treatment and prescription.
Dr. Sawhne was very thorough and sensitive to my daughter’s needs. My daughter felt comfortable in sharing her symptoms and other conditions and was collaborative with us in determining the best course of action. We recommend her highly!
