Hi, I’m Dr. Mark Ellestad, a double board-certified psychiatrist in general and addiction psychiatry, trained at the University of Notre Dame and the University of Washington. I provide comprehensive, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults struggling with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and substance use disorders. My approach combines thoughtful diagnostic evaluation, medication management, and psychotherapy when appropriate. I focus on clear treatment planning, measurable progress, and long-term stability.
In addition to general adult psychiatry, I have training in addiction psychiatry and work with individuals navigating substance use concerns, including those with co-occurring mental health conditions. As a gay psychiatrist, I provide affirming care to LGBTQIA+ adults and understand the unique stressors that can impact mental health within this community.
My goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping you function better in your relationships, work, and daily life. I emphasize collaborative care, clear treatment planning, psychotherapy when appropriate, and thoughtful use of medications tailored to your needs. If you’re interested in working together, please visit my website to learn more.

I have training in multiple therapy modalities, including CBT, psychodynamic approaches, and motivational interviewing. I tailor treatment to each patient, combining structured skills-based work with deeper exploration when appropriate. While therapy can be challenging, I also believe it can be engaging, enjoyable, and meaningful, and I aim to bring that spirit into our work.
