Travis Valdez, DO

I’m a board-certified adult psychiatrist dedicated to providing excellent mental health care. I trained at St. George’s University School of Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency at SUNY Downstate and Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. I’ve worked in psychiatric emergency rooms, inpatient units, and outpatient clinics, caring for age ranges from young adults to geriatric patients. I also have a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) and specialized experience treating pregnant and postpartum patients.

My therapeutic style is compassionate, thoughtful, and meticulous. I strive to consider what is most important to you in order to alleviate suffering and support your wellbeing. I value shared decision making and creating a warm, mutually respectful telehealth environment. I also engage in continuous learning to provide high-quality psychiatric care.

I begin with a detailed history and careful exploration of symptoms to identify the most fitting diagnosis. I then develop an individualized, evidence-based treatment plan, including medication management, psychoeducation, lifestyle changes, and brief CBT as needed. Follow-ups focus on monitoring symptoms, adjusting medications, and providing tailored support.

I earned a BA in Anthropology from Harvard College, an MA in Social Sciences from EHESS in Paris as a Fulbright Scholar, and an MD and PhD in Social/Medical Anthropology from Harvard. I trained in psychiatry at Yale and Harlem Hospital/Columbia. I have worked and conducted health research in the U.S., France, and Rwanda. I research AI and mental health with Brainstorm at Stanford and am adjunct faculty at the University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda.

I value each patient’s unique story, cultural and social background, and perspective. I foster a warm, empathic environment where you feel heard and respected, and work with you to set clear goals. I strongly support combining psychopharmacology and psychotherapy and am comfortable with psychodynamic, supportive, CBT, DBT, and other modalities.

I begin with a thorough history, relevant records, and an understanding of your concerns, goals, and preferences. I learn about your cultural and social background and develop an individualized plan aligned with your goals. We track progress together, adjust care and appointment frequency as needed, and regularly discuss your feedback about your care.

I have been certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology since 2009.

I am a collaborative physician, interested in the full picture of a patient’s life and inviting questions and discussion about what is and is not pathology, and which treatment plans fit an individual’s goals and lifestyle. I am often praised as “the only one who ever explains things,” and have won awards as the best mental health provider in my region twice in recent years.

With a substantial background in psychotherapeutic training, I work to minimize and justify the role of psychotropic medication in my patients’ lives, regularly reviewing propriety and necessity. Front and center is always quality of life, not impersonal diagnostic categories. I strive to help my patients “meet themselves where they are” as individuals, with an emphasis on resilience. My ultimate goal is to no longer be necessary.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist for the lifespan, experienced in working with all ages from children and adolescents to older adults. My training includes medical school at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, adult psychiatry residency at the University of California, Irvine, and fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Colorado/Children’s Hospital of Colorado.

In addition to comprehensive and holistic diagnostic assessments with medication support as appropriate, I have a background in multiple evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), and family and couples therapy. I integrate therapy into our time together and can collaborate with others to give you the best opportunity for meaningful improvement.
