Mental Health Practice – Empathy Therapy
Empathy Therapy is a fully virtual mental health practice led by Dr. Mark Chofla, a board-certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist. Dr. Chofla earned his medical degree from Midwestern University in Arizona and completed his residency training at Los Angeles County and USC Medical Center. All services are delivered through secure video sessions, and no physical office location is listed on the practice’s site.
The practice is structured around an integrated care model in which Dr. Chofla provides both psychiatric medication management and psychotherapy within a single ongoing provider relationship. The practice describes this approach as care delivered across all appointments with no shifting between clinicians and no handoffs between providers, allowing medication and therapy decisions to remain coordinated throughout the course of treatment. This single-provider structure distinguishes the practice from settings where psychiatry and therapy are handled by separate clinicians.
Clinical areas addressed include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and trauma. Services are available to clients located in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, and New York, reflecting multi-state licensure that allows broad geographic reach without requiring travel or in-person visits.
The practice operates on a private-pay basis and does not accept insurance directly. For clients who hold out-of-network benefits through their insurance plan, the practice provides superbills upon request to support potential reimbursement. Scheduling is managed through an online booking system, and the site notes that prompt access is a priority.
Dr. Chofla maintains professional profiles on WebMD, Vitals, Healthgrades, and Sharecare. The website includes patient-facing FAQs, articles on mental health topics, and contact information. Social media presence is maintained across BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. A patient review on the site notes appreciation for the provider’s support with focus-related concerns and assistance with pharmacy coordination, reflecting the practice’s stated emphasis on accessibility and continuity of care throughout the treatment relationship. The practice does not list a physical office address, as all clinical services are conducted remotely via secure video platform.
