Richard Mack
Psychiatrist, MD

I will listen carefully to evaluate your problems and distress, your values and strengths. Then collaborate with and support you in psychotherapy. Besides decreasing distress and supporting you through difficult times, psychotherapy can help you to discover and understand how some automatic reactions of your mind, that you may not have been aware of, work. These can lead to problematic repetitive patterns, difficult or disrupted relationships, not working to your potential, and psychiatric symptoms. Changing these can improve your coping and interpersonal skills, allow you more freedom of choice and action, and to be more effective

I recognize and focus on the uniqueness of each individual and work to explore the issues causing the distress. My goal is to evaluate and support you through improving your life, whether it be with the use of medication and/or psychotherapy. Research has shown that with the combination of medication and psychotherapy, a patient can expect a far better outcome than with one or the other alone. I also collaborate with other mental health professionals to ensure overall success.

I believe that your mental health treatment should be as unique and individualized as you are. We are far more than just a group of symptoms that make up diagnoses, only to be treated with a generic list of medications. In my practice, I aim to incorporate evidence-based treatments while also considering the different factors that impact your mental health while working in collaboration with you. I limit my caseload to optimize availability for my established patients along with providing flexibility in scheduling and appointment times.

I have been a psychiatrist for over ten years now and have worked in various settings, including the county mental health setting and more recently, in the university mental health setting. I am comfortable treating all types of mental issues and will do so respectfully. I believe the practice of psychiatry is all encompassing, meaning that there may not necessarily be one issue that needs to be addressed, nor is it necessarily only always treated with medication. I will provide a full biopsychosocial assessment during the first assessment and we will attempt to address all the issues presented.
