Thomas Ittoop, MD is a psychiatrist with experience practicing in both academic and community settings. He earned his medical degree from Central Michigan University and completed his psychiatry residency at Baylor College of Medicine. His clinical work is grounded in thoughtful, patient centered care that combines medical rigor with a deep respect for the complexity of each individual’s life.

Dr. Ittoop fosters a warm, collaborative environment grounded in genuine human connection. He values exploring the deeper patterns that shape emotional life and the meaning beneath symptoms. Patients can expect transparency, clear communication, and shared decision making that honors their strengths, goals, and long-term well-being while helping them cultivate resilience and greater self-understanding.

Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation exploring symptoms, personal and family history, personality patterns, and the changes patients hope to achieve in their lives. From there, Dr. Ittoop works with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that includes thoughtful psychiatric medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and ongoing follow up. While he frequently works with patients experiencing anxiety and related conditions, his practice does not include prescribing benzodiazepines such as Xanax, Ativan, or Klonopin. Care instead focuses on evidence-based treatments that support lasting stability and deeper psychological understanding.
