Dr. Saini was born in Maryland but has spent the majority of his life in Charleston. He completed his undergraduate degree in Biology at the College of Charleston before attending medical school and Psychiatry residency at the Medical University of South Carolina. He became interested in the collaborative and innovative aspects of medicine, as shown by his involvement in George Mason University’s Proteomics lab, the Clemson-MUSC Biotech Institute, and the Autism News Network at MUSC. 

Dr. Saini’s style is to treat the whole person and uncover and address underlying issues that contribute to the individual’s mental distress. During his psychiatry residency, he trained in numerous psychotherapy modalities, which include psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), couples, and family therapy. Therapy, often in combination with the right medication for specific diagnoses, results in the best treatment outcomes. Dr. Saini looks forward to working with his patients to find the best combination of treatment for each of them as individuals.
