About Dr. Barbara Robles-Ramamurthy & TEKU
I’m Dr. Barbara Robles-Ramamurthy, a Latina psychiatrist, mother, and health equity expert based in San Antonio, Texas. I empower families, leaders, and organizations with the tools, strategies, and compassionate support needed to center love, connection, and justice so that our homes, workplaces, and communities can thrive.
Let’s Stay Connected!
As both a physician and a mother, I’ve seen firsthand how our systems often devalue humanity—placing productivity over people, profit over community, and punishment over compassion. This disconnect not only impacts organizations but also reaches into our families and everyday lives.
Many parents and leaders with incredible wisdom and potential find themselves dismissed, doubted, or pushed aside. Their voices—rooted in compassion and equity—are exactly what our families and communities need most.
I’ve lived this too. For years, I worked in academic institutions, community clinics, and youth correctional settings, determined to shift systems from within. But I realized that even when I made a difference on the ground, the larger structures were designed to keep power and decision-making in the hands of profit- and punishment-focused leaders.
Why I Do This Work
my professional journey reflects a lifelong commitment to transforming mental health systems through compassion, collaboration, and justice.
My Curriculum Vitae outlines years of leadership in academic psychiatry, work with justice-involved youth, and partnerships with organizations seeking to expand holistic psychiatric care and family wellbeing in San Antonio and beyond.
