Dr. Das is passionate about finding solutions for health that are culturally sensitive and respectful of all aspects of the human condition including spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.

Dr. Das believes that all beings come to this world with a purpose and have the innate right to pursue their own meaning to the fullest. All beings also have the innate right to be treated with respect, kindness, and honesty.

Dr. Das strives to meet and understand people where they are and to help them celebrate their own unique journey.

Dr. Das believes that because the underlying cause and therefore treatment of eating disorders is complex, a multifaceted approach is necessary.
