I provide medication management along with supportive therapy. In some cases I may refer you to a counselor or therapist for further care and collaboration. I have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including major depressive disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and PTSD. I utilize a well-rounded approach to treat the whole person, through medication, active listening, and recommending talk-centered counseling programs.
I am an experienced Psychiatrist who spent the last 24 years of my career working in Veterans Affairs, where I was able to treat a wide variety of patients. I was trained in the VA system associated with Chicago Medical School (Finch University), located in North Chicago, Illinois.

I graduated from a prestigious medical school that has consistently held a high position (4th) among the top 100 medical schools in the world.

Upton Thomas, MD
I am a board-certified psychiatrist who takes a warm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to care. With a focus on treating mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, and substance use, I integrate psychopharmacology and psychotherapy to support patients in achieving meaningful change. I bring curiosity, creativity, and a deep respect for each individual's story to my clinical work. Patients often find me easy to talk to and appreciate my calm, thoughtful demeanor. I emphasize shared decision-making and believe that treatment works best when the patient's values and voice are at the center. I aim to create a safe space for honest dialogue and ongoing reflection as treatment evolves.
I begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand each patient's mental health history, current concerns, and goals. I then develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication, therapy, or both. I prefer to use the lowest effective dose of medications and often integrate psychotherapeutic strategies such as CBT, DBT, or insight-oriented work into my sessions.
