About Apollo Psychiatry PLLC

Apollo Psychiatry takes its inspiration from its namesake deity, Apollo, the god of medicine, healing, harmony and art. Apollo was a complex deity, one who could bring ill-health as well as one who had the ability to cure. Apollo’s dichotomy of health and suffering is reflected well in humankind, for we all have the ability within us to thrive, but we sometimes need support in the journey to self-realization and improvement. In fact, suffering can bring with it the opportunity that drives emotional growth for a more resilient self. The undertaking of knowing oneself might be the most challenging yet rewarding experience of one’s life, with lasting results. Dr. Aekta Malhotra is a long time native of Plano, TX.
