Patricia Pop, MD

Welcome! I’m a Stanford-trained integrative psychiatrist with a passion for psychedelic medicine. We’ll focus on treatments that take a whole-person approach. I offer medications & more (supplements, exercise, nutrition, mind-body skills, ADHD coaching) in a way that is warm, detailed, and thorough. We’ll combine these with careful use of prescription medications and lab testing, when needed. I love working with: -Those looking for a psychedelic-friendly psychiatrist who can provide a judgement-free zone to answer their questions or get advice on proper preparation, aftercare, medication interactions, or tapering. -Preparation for upcoming psychedelic experiences (ketamine clinics, retreats, journeys). For most people, this typically entails 4-6 sessions including background knowledge, intention setting, and mind-body practices. -Ongoing integration therapy to help make sense of psychedelic or other intense experiences (from breathwork, near-death, etc). -Women with ADHD and anxiety. Spinning your wheels but somehow getting nowhere? Self-compassion and a thoughtful approach can help you shift from overwhelm to confidence. We'll consider your life, and all that makes you unique when making discerning decisions together. I earned my MD at Columbia, completed psychiatry residency at Stanford, along with a one-year psychodynamic fellowship through the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. After training, I had three years of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy experience and completed CIIS training. In addition to my practice, I am also currently on staff at UCSD participating in trials evaluating psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression.
