Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychiatrist Serving Bernardsville, NJ

Mindspace Psychiatry serves families throughout the Bernardsville, NJ area who are looking for a board-certified psychiatrist experienced in caring for both children and adults. Dr. Padma Palvai offers a full range of psychiatric services — from evaluations and school assessments to ongoing medication management — for patients ranging from young children to adults. Her Somerville, NJ office is a short drive from Bernardsville, and telehealth visits are available for patients across New Jersey.

Dr. Palvai's dual board certification in adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry means she is equally at home evaluating a six-year-old for ADHD, helping a teenager navigate an emerging mood disorder, or supporting an adult managing anxiety or depression. This breadth of expertise makes her a valuable resource for families who want continuity of care across different stages of life.

Dr. Palvai has particular expertise in diagnosing and treating:

  • ADHD across all age groups

  • Autism spectrum disorder

  • Anxiety disorders

  • Depression

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Emerging schizophrenia or mood disorders in adolescents

  • School avoidance and behavioral difficulties

  • Psychiatric Services for Bernardsville Patients

  • Child and adolescent psychiatric evaluations (ages 6–18)

  • Adult psychiatric evaluations

  • School evaluations for educational or safety-related concerns

  • Medication management

  • Telehealth visits for New Jersey residents

Careful Diagnostic Formulation Dr. Palvai is especially attentive when evaluating adolescents, recognizing that this is a time when conditions like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia may begin to emerge — and that early, accurate diagnosis makes a meaningful difference in outcomes. She does not rush to conclusions, taking the time needed to develop a complete diagnostic picture before recommending any treatment.

Visiting from Bernardsville Mindspace Psychiatry is located at 15 W High Street, Unit A, Somerville, NJ 08876 — conveniently accessible from Bernardsville. Telehealth appointments are also available for all New Jersey patients.
