Dr. Vasy is a Board-certified psychiatrist. He completed his undergraduate degree at Keuka College and attended St. George’s University School of Medicine, where he earned his MD degree and graduated with summa cum laude distinction. Prior to joining Psych Atlanta, he worked at Ohio State University, serving as a staff psychiatrist at the student mental health clinic.
Reflecting on his experience, Dr. Vasy shares: “I had the privilege of completing my psychiatry residency training at Metropolitan Hospital (New York Medical College) in New York City. At 'Metro,' I gained invaluable experiences while serving New York City's diverse patient population in various clinical settings, including the psychiatric emergency room, adult and pediatric inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, and addiction medicine. This training equipped me with the skills and knowledge to manage a wide range of acute and chronic psychiatric conditions. It also deepened my awareness of the vast array of mental health issues and their impact, not only on individuals but also on their families and, in some cases, entire communities.
Providing appropriate treatment that improves a patient's condition creates a ripple effect, bringing healing and benefits that extend far beyond the individual. Being part of this ripple effect is a deeply fulfilling experience, and I take great pride in my role working with individuals facing mental health challenges.
In addition to my primary responsibilities during residency, I was actively involved in the education and mentorship of medical students and junior residents, and I participated in clinical research.
Therapeutic style:
Dr. Vasy's priority is to provide compassionate, safe, and effective psychiatric care aligned with current evidence-based standards. In his work with patients, he fosters an environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and understood. He places special emphasis on building rapport, establishing trust, and maintaining a human-centered approach in every interaction.
Following a thorough evaluation and diagnosis, Dr. Vasy collaborates with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses not only presenting symptoms but also considers each person's unique biological, psychological, and social factors. His treatment approach combines pharmacological interventions with elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), supportive therapy, mindfulness practices, psychoeducation, and encourages beneficial lifestyle modifications.
This holistic approach has proven highly effective in helping his patients reach their goals and achieve optimal well-being and functioning. Research supports the superior outcomes associated with such comprehensive, multi-faceted interventions, further reinforcing the effectiveness of Dr. Vasy's therapeutic style.

“It's great to find a medical practitioner that listens to patients. I do not have the expertise or experience that Leah LaRussa has, but I know what I feel like and struggle with. It's nice to work with someone that takes my concerns and walks me through different solutions.”
“My experience as Dr. Rossi patient was very good. He always listened to what I had to say about how I was feeling whether good or bad and would suggest possible solutions. I considered him a very good doctor.”
“Dr. Cornelius is woefully incompetent and dismissive. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy. I have had terrible side effects from the medications he has prescribed me and he refuses to listen to any feedback on that, let alone give medical advice on how to come off of the medications. Not to mention, multiple times I have come in requesting a referral or any information on gene testing. He told me on my visit today “you’ll have to figure that out” and basically ended the 30 second visit.”
