Licensed CA & VA Persons suffering emotional illness often are hesitant to trust others. Yet they must bridge this gap if they're toreceive help. It's an evolving process that is made easier by encountering and interacting with empathetic, engaged, and experienced professionals. In addition, those professionals must be flexible, open-eared as well as open-minded if they truly desire to understand the person they're trying to help. This process begins at the first appointment when a psychiatrist must help the seeker answer the most important of questions: Can we really talk? Can I trust him? Can he help me? Will he help me?
With over 30 years of experience in private practice outpatient psychiatry, Dr. Ritchie has dedicated his career to serving persons suffering from the entire spectrum of mental illness. His expertise spans various settings, including inpatient, outpatient, emergency room environments, as well as correctional facilities. His specialty is medication management
I'm dedicated to helping people feel comfortable with the idea that there is more than one way to approach treating the conditions that hamper their wellbeing, relationships, academic as well as occupational performance. With a comprehensive, mindful initial evaluation and vigilant follow-up, we can help you be in a better place than when we started.

I use supportive, interpersonal, and cognitive therapy techniques combined with primarily medication management and other modalities to approach each client's individual needs. I am respectful, collaborative, and boundaried when a client already has a therapist. I refer out for psychotherapy to persons more expert than myself if someone needs and doesn't already have one.
