About Siddharth Ashvin Shah

I want to see the end of unnecessary, preventable suffering.”Siddharth Ashvin Shah, MD, MPH proudly serves as the President & Founder of Greenleaf Integrative. The firm grew out of his consulting to governments, healthcare organizations, NGOs, and the private sector in areas of chronic high stress, brain health, trauma resiliency, strategic communications, and leadership effectiveness. As a licensed physician, public health scientist, and thought leader, Dr. Shah seeks to change the way we regard our society’s helpers, protectors, and healers. Deeply influenced by his work abroad and then post-9/11 in NYC, his pursuit of improving systems of wellbeing and helping helpers led him to become one of the few physicians dedicated to serving people and organizations who operate in demanding and traumatic environments - such as healthcare and first responders. Dr. Shah’s interdisciplinary thinking ties together preventive medicine, cross-cultural healing practices, disaster response, trauma informed care, psychological first aid, and cutting-edge neuroscientific thinking distilled for real world applications. A sought-after speaker, his insights currently help to change the way entire enterprises manage and lead personnel in highly demanding environments.Having completed his MD at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Shah then completed one year of specialized mental health training at Karl Menninger School of Psychiatry followed by advanced training in Preventive and Behavioral Medicine and a Masters in Public Health at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Shah continues to see a limited number of previously established patients.
