A More Thoughtful Approach to Psychiatry

Now accepting new patients

Providing The Care You Deserve

Mental health care has become increasingly fragmented, transactional, and difficult to navigate, leaving many individuals feeling misunderstood despite receiving treatment.

Gentry Psychiatric was founded to offer something different: a clinically rigorous, relationship-based approach that understands the whole person and integrates mental health into overall wellness.

Whether you are managing the demands of a high-performing world or working through a difficult life transition, you deserve care that is both thorough and deeply personal.

Designed For Deeper Understanding

Symptoms affecting your mental health do not occur in isolation, and neither should your treatment.

Gentry Psychiatric provides care that is comprehensive, collaborative, and built for lasting change.

Comprehensive Assessment

A thorough medical, psychiatric and neurocognitive evaluation designed to move beyond surface-level diagnosis and develop a more complete, nuanced understanding of each patient. This process serves as the foundation for a tailored, individualized, treatment plan.

Talk Therapy

A collaborative, in-depth process focused on understanding patterns of thought, emotion and behavior over time. Sessions are designed to create space for meaningful insight and lasting change.

Medication Management

Evidence-based prescribing, closely monitored and adjusted over time as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, not an isolated quick fix.

Telehealth Psychiatry

Telehealth offers a flexible option for receiving care, designed to fit within life’s demands, without compromising quality. Sessions are conducted with the same level of attention, depth, and continuity as in-person care.

"Providing the care you deserve extends beyond symptom management, because being heard is the first step toward being understood."

Dr. Preston Gentry is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in psychotherapy (talk therapy) and medication management. He trained at Brown University and Wake Forest University, and went on to serve as Medical Director of Psychiatry at multiple hospitals in California before founding Gentry Psychiatric. At the center of his philosophy is the belief that people deserve the time and space to feel genuinely heard, as a first step to feeling understood. By creating the time and space for thoughtful exploration, care can be tailored more precisely to the individual, leading to treatment that is both more meaningful and sustainable. His practice reflects a deliberately different model of care: unhurried, individualized, and attuned to the complexities of each patient’s life.
