Hello! I'm a Stanford and University of California trained child & adolescent & adult psychiatrist in a small, concierge-style practice. I work with a therapy dog who helps my patients to feel safe and comfortable. I have special interests in trauma-related disorders, OCD, anxiety, and ADHD. My style is compassionate, nonjudgmental, warm, patient-centered, and therapy-oriented. When prescribing medication I practice based on the latest scientific evidence, so that my patients have the highest chance of meeting their mental health goals without unnecessary side effects. I connect especially well with teens and young adults.
I take my time to understand the whole person, including their goals, values, culture, development, and family system. As a result, I am able to provide a level of personalized care that goes beyond the typical "one-size-fits-all" approach of larger healthcare organizations.
If you are seeking a psychiatrist who will truly listen to you and provide thoughtful care, then I may be a good fit for you. I can currently schedule most new patients within one to two weeks. If you are interested in a free 15-minute phone consultation please go to my website at www.caseylestermd.com and complete my new patient form.
