Welcome!

​

Thank you for visiting my private practice website. I am a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist specializing in anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, PTSD, and tics.

​

As a Bay Area native, I experienced firsthand the challenges of growing up here. Throughout my school experiences in the Bay Area, I saw how immense stress negatively affected me, my friends, and my classmates. In medical school, I was delighted to learn that I can be a doctor who specializes in mental health. I eagerly chose Psychiatry and subspecialized in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. I established my practice in the Bay Area because I couldn't think of a greater honor than serving the community I grew up in. I find it deeply impactful to help children, adolescents, and young professionals reach their full potential.

​

In my private practice, I care for each patient in the same way I want my family to be cared for. I respect each patient as a person with strengths instead of a collection of symptoms. I give ample time to hear each patient's unique story. To provide personalized care, I review past records, collaborate with therapists/psychologists, consult with specialists, work with parents, speak with teachers, attend school meetings, and advocate for school/work accommodations.

​

While I am skilled in prescribing medications, I use them judiciously. I strongly recommend therapy as an integral part of treatment. As a general rule, I emphasize lifestyle modifications like eating healthfully, exercising regularly, sleeping adequately, and keeping good company.

 

I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me if you have any questions.

​

Sincerely,

Kevin Luo, MD
