About Our Commitment & Journey

Led by Dr. Kamala Adury, we deliver thoughtful care for behavioral health and sleep disorders.

Led by Expertise, Focused on You

The Center for Behavioral Health & Sleep Disorders (CBHSD) was founded in August 2021 by Dr. Kamala Adury, who is board-certified in psychiatry and sleep medicine. CBHSD is a place where all your mental health and sleep issues can be addressed.

A Center Built for Complete Healing

The focus of treatment at CBHSD is to get to the root of the problem, which Dr. Adury believes is essential in creating a treatment plan built for success.

CBHSD offers a range of services, such as:

Medication Management for a range of behavioral health and psychiatric conditions.
NeuroStar TMS treatment for treatment-resistant (or medication-sensitive) major depressive disorder with or without comorbid anxiety.
Spravato for treatment-resistant depression (TRD)
Assessment and management of INSPIRE for obstructive sleep apnea.
Psychological counseling for most mental health issues and insomnia.

Our Philosophy

Work begins from the root up while providing symptomatic relief for treatment- and therapy-interfering symptoms. Dr. Adury’s approach to medication management is moderate, with a focus on individualized care and patient safety. She tries her best to avoid polypharmacy and maximal or supermaximal doses of medications. She also believes that certain supplements may support mental health and potentially help keep prescription medication dosages low.

For example, when treating insomnia, she prefers not to use sleep aids and instead relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which she is adept at providing. When sleep aids are clinically appropriate, her rule of thumb is to use only one sleep aid at a time. She recommends against combining sleep aids.

Honest, Tailored Healing Approach

She relies on psychotherapy for what medications fall short of helping. However, she frequently uses a combined approach of medication management and psychotherapy in her treatment modalities. She believes that every patient is unique in biochemical, psychological, and environmental makeup. Hence, the treatment should likewise be individualized. She believes that empathy, being upfront, and transparency help engage people in their own treatment plan and lead to better outcomes.

Our Providers

Dr. Kamala Adury

Dr. Adury has always felt a connection to people with mental health disorders. She did her medical schooling at Veer Surendra Medical College in India. After that, she came to The United States and pursued further education. The decision to specialize in psychiatry came with ease.

As she was doing her residency in psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic, she was intrigued by the intricate and bidirectional connection between mental health and sleep. These interests led Dr. Adury to pursue a fellowship in sleep medicine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Experience in Complex Patient Care

After her fellowship, she continued to work with people with comorbid mental health and sleep disorders at the Cleveland Clinic Akron General (CCAG). She was the Medical Director of one of the Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) with CCAG for a few years, which helped her hone her skills further in treating patients with multiple comorbid issues of mental health, sleep disorders, and beyond. She especially gained greater insight and expertise in treating people with chronic insomnia.

Dr. Adury has immense knowledge and experience with people with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, insomnia and emotional trauma in the background of various medical comorbidities. She helps people understand any potential interconnections between their problems and navigate their way to better treatment outcomes.

A Vision Turned Into Practice

After a decade of working at Cleveland Clinic Akron General, she left to help materialize her long-standing desire to have her own practice. With experience comes ease, calm, and confidence. She relies on these qualities to continue to help people with their problems. She hopes that CBHSD will evolve and grow in the years to come.

Dr. Adury’s motto is “GET TO THE CORE,” which patients see utilized through her assessments and treatment strategies. She believes that addressing the root cause while concurrently treating symptomatology leads to the most desired outcomes.

Dr.Adury considers the practice of medicine as an art that cannot be replaced with AI and other platforms that are generic and not individualized. Optimal treatment outcome is like a jigsaw puzzle that is complete only after all the pieces are placed accurately. This vision and approach culminated in this practice.
