Dr. Romy Kullar is a Child and Ado­les­cent Psy­chi­a­trist. She grew up in Gri­d­ley on a kiwi and wal­nut farm. After com­plet­ing her under­grad­u­ate degree in Nutri­tion Sci­ence at UC Davis, Romy went on to earn her med­ical degree from the West­ern Uni­ver­si­ty of Health Sci­ences, Col­lege of Osteo­path­ic Med­i­cine of the Pacif­ic-North­west. She then com­plet­ed her gen­er­al psy­chi­a­try res­i­den­cy in Baton Rouge through Louisiana State Uni­ver­si­ty. While there, she served as the Co-Chief Res­i­dent and researched the rela­tion­ship between the gut micro­bio­me and antipsy­chotics. She round­ed out her train­ing by com­plet­ing a Child and Ado­les­cent Psy­chi­a­try fel­low­ship at Doern­bech­er Chil­dren’s Hos­pi­tal in Port­land, OR before return­ing to Butte Coun­ty in July 2021. Since then, Romy has prac­ticed in Chico, Red Bluff, and Red­ding pro­vid­ing care to chil­dren, ado­les­cents, tran­si­tion­al age youth, adults and fam­i­lies in the North State area. Although treat­ment has its role, Romy val­ues pre­ven­tion and, thus, is very excit­ed to be a part of the Com­mis­sion and be more involved in upstream efforts.
