Welcome

Hi, I’m Patrick Hou, MD, MPH (he/him), and I believe that emotional, physical and spiritual wellness are all important to optimize mental health.

When you’re struggling mentally or emotionally, it can be challenging to find care that feels both trustworthy and understanding.

I am a psychiatrist who believes that your story matters. Our life experiences shape how we see the world, and understanding those experiences is key to providing meaningful care. I listen carefully and empathetically in order to help you connect more fully to your emotions, understand your own patterns of healing, and explore how to approach life’s challenges differently.

I start with an evaluation to get to know you — your story, your experiences, and what you hope to achieve in treatment. Together, we’ll explore options that feel right for you and align with your values. These may include talk therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or other evidence-based approaches. In therapy, I support you in gaining deeper self-understanding and making meaningful changes. When medication may be helpful, I take a thoughtful approach that blends traditional psychiatry with integrative practices, including mind-body techniques and healthy lifestyle habits.

My goal is to help you gain insight and make meaningful changes.
