Sloths
Why Peace Love Sloths? Because sloths are a symbol of calm, warmth, acceptance, and kindness. They're also just the right amount of ridiculous. As a psychiatrist I want to create a practice for children, teens, and adults that reflects these traits.

Meet Dr. Faraaz Merchant
Hey there! Welcome to Peace Love Sloths. I'm a psychiatrist in Reno, Nevada treating kids, teens, and adults. I'm looking forward to caring for you and your family. The most important thing about me is I love to learn about people's stories and make them laugh- it's who I've always been. I come from strong roots; dad is a pediatrician, mom is a hair stylist/diva and they both own small businesses. I'm originally from Orlando but Reno adopted me and is now my home.
I've spent a long time becoming the best possible psychiatrist. I am Board Certified in both Adult and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and I've had the privilege of working at great places in Reno and Phoenix.
