Andrew Ho, MD — Psychiatrist in California

Hi there, I'm Andrew!

I enjoy solving problems that matter to his patients. He has been a psychiatrist since 1995 and trained medical students and psychiatry residents when he was a clinical faculty member at UCLA.

My focus

I work with patients seeking greater control over their lives. I specialize in combining psychotherapy and biological treatment to resolve symptoms more rapidly. I help people struggling with insomnia, anxiety, depression, poor concentration, low energy, addiction, lack of motivation, and hallucinations.

My approach

During the initial visit, I laid the foundation for a therapeutic relationship by clarifying the challenges and previous attempts to overcome them. Before the end of the session, I offer my impressions and recommendations to enable an informed discussion regarding treatment decisions.

My communication style

I listen carefully to my patients, offering clear explanations that directly address their concerns. I am mindful of their suffering and aim to achieve the best results as quickly as possible.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since childhood, I've been fascinated by how people deal with adversity. I chose psychiatry because the human mind is flexible enough to heal itself with just a little help. I believe in the power of understanding and supporting that natural healing process.

My goals for you

Treatment is a partnership where we actively work together to identify remaining challenges and explore potential options. This collaborative effort is vital for achieving lasting wellness and resilience in your life.

Our first session

Every session begins with clarification of the challenges and ends with discussion of treatment options. It is recognized that the human mind is complex and changes over time. Relevant information that does not come up during the first session frequently emerges subsequently. This is expected and never too late.
