Our approach
Your story matters.
At Kinav Psychiatry, care begins with listening. We take time to understand not only your symptoms, but also your experiences, strengths, relationships, culture, and hopes for the future.
Treatment is grounded in current evidence and shaped around you. That means clear explanations, honest conversations, and a plan we create together.
“Kinav” means dream in Malayalam—a reflection of our belief that meaningful psychiatric care can help create space for the life you envision.

Steffi Antony, DNP, PMHNP-BC
Dr. Antony (she/her/hers) is a doctorally prepared board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Kinav Psychiatry. Steffi believes that good mental health care starts with truly getting to know the person behind the symptoms. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized, considering not only mental health concerns, but also the experiences, relationships, culture, and circumstances that shape each person.
With eight years of psychiatric experience, including caring for patients with complex psychiatric and medical needs, she brings an approach centered on thoughtful assessment, clear communication, and shared decision-making.
Her Indian American background is an important part of who she is and has given her a personal appreciation for the ways family, community, culture, and expectations can influence how people experience and talk about mental health. The name Kinav comes from the Malayalam word for “dream”—reflecting the belief that mental health care is not only about feeling better, but also about moving toward the life you envision for yourself.
At Kinav Psychiatry, Steffi strives to create a space where patients feel heard, respected, and comfortable asking questions.
Outside of work, Steffi enjoys pottery, traveling, reading, and playing racket sports. She also values spending time with family and being near the ocean whenever she gets the chance.
