Meet Michael Mahgerefteh, MD — better known as Dr. Mike Mah. A UCLA-trained, board-certified psychiatrist, Dr. Mike offers private out-of-network care through MahMD and founded Century City Psychiatry, the in-network group practice he now supervises. He works with adults facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and burnout — with a particular focus on executives, creatives, and other high-achieving professionals seeking thoughtful, deeply personalized care. Whether you've taken medication for years or are weighing it for the first time, you'll be met with warmth, clinical rigor, and discretion.
Dr. Mike blends personalized pharmacotherapy with a psychodynamic foundation, integrating lifestyle, behavioral, and mindfulness approaches. MahMD also offers intranasal ketamine for treatment-resistant depression and treatment for kratom dependence. In-network care available through Century City Psychiatry with Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, UHC, and more.
Navigating mental health treatment can be difficult, especially when your day-to-day demands a lot of you. You deserve a psychiatrist who takes the time to understand you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. Whether you're seeking care with Dr. Mike or in-network treatment through Century City Psychiatry, reach out — you don't have to do this alone.

I treat adults with mood disorders, anxiety disorders (particularly OCD), PTSD, and ADHD, with a niche interest in helping patients work through long-standing self-esteem struggles. My approach is holistic: unhurried visits that look at your history, medications, sleep, relationships, and daily life — not just symptoms. Expect careful diagnosis, honest conversation, and a plan built around you.

I use ACT, CBT, ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy), and psychodynamic therapy, matched to the person in front of me. Some patients need steady support while a fragile sense of self stabilizes; others are ready to be challenged directly. Knowing which — and when to shift — is the work I bring to each session.
