About me

Welcome! I'm Dr. Gena Williams, and I'm honored that you are considering me to be part of your care team. I believe that mental health care works best when patients and families feel heard, respected, and actively involved in treatment. I hope this page helps you get to know me a little better.

 

Biography

 

I am a proud Los Angeleno and am excited to have returned home to serve the community that helped shape me. I was born in a Kaiser Permanente hospital, making it especially meaningful to return to Kaiser Permanente as a physician caring for patients and families throughout Southern California. I graduated from California State University, Northridge before pursuing my medical training. My background in both psychiatry and public health has shaped my interest in understanding how social determinants of health and adverse childhood experiences influence mental health and well-being. My clinical interests include neurodevelopmental disorders, the connection between physical and mental health, perinatal mental health, and supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and families. I am also passionate about medical education and mentoring future physicians. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling to experience other cultures, listening to music at the Hollywood Bowl, and connecting with nature and my community.

 

About my practice

 

I view psychiatric care as a collaborative partnership between patients, families, and clinicians. My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing their concerns and working toward meaningful goals. I take an approach to treatment that considers biological, psychological, social, developmental, and cultural factors. Whether treatment involves therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or collaboration with schools and other providers, I strive to help patients and families make informed decisions that align with their values and needs. As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I enjoy supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and their families through all stages of development. You may also see me in the hospital or emergency department as part of the Psychiatry Consultation-Liaison team.

 

How I thrive

 

I believe maintaining balance is essential to overall well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active outdoors, exploring Southern California, and making time for reflection and lifelong learning.
