Meet Our Founder — Dr. Gurvinder Arora
Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychiatrist | Founder, Boston Behavioral Health Associates INC
Dr. Gurvinder Arora is a distinguished board-certified psychiatrist and the founder of Boston Behavioral Health Associates INC. With a deep commitment to clinical excellence and patient-centered care, Dr. Arora combines modern evidence-based treatment with genuine human compassion.
Dr. Arora specializes in treating the full spectrum of adult mental health conditions — from everyday anxiety and depression to complex cases of bipolar disorder, PTSD, and treatment-resistant depression. He is certified to administer Spravato® (Esketamine) — the FDA-approved breakthrough therapy for treatment-resistant depression.
His philosophy: every patient deserves a thorough evaluation, an individualized treatment plan, and ongoing support — not a rushed visit and a generic prescription.
