About Katia Ronay, MD

I was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. I  attended Yale University where I received a BA in Psychology. I earned  my medical degree from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. After internship training at Yale University I went on to complete  my psychiatry residency at the University of Washington in Seattle with  an emphasis on psychotherapy and disordered eating.

After residency, I had a faculty appointment at the  University of California, San Diego. In 2009 I returned to Washington  to start my own psychotherapy-based private practice. 

I am board-certified in general psychiatry by the  American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. In addition to English, I am  fluent in Portuguese, and German.

I treat adults ages 25-60 with  depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic  stress disorder, disordered eating, and stress associated with  complicated relationship, career, grief and medical problems.
