States of Mind Psychiatry
Helder Araujo, MD PhD
Being human involves experiencing a wide range of states of mind—from joy to suffering, from moments we wish could last forever to those we long to escape. Each experience offers insight into who we are and how we relate to the world around us.
As a psychiatrist, my role is to help you make sense of these experiences and develop a deeper understanding of them. With that understanding, and using appropriate psychiatric evaluation and treatment approaches, I work with you to support your well-being and move toward a more stable and fulfilling life.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist and neuroscientist (MD-PhD) providing telepsychiatry in California for adults. My work centers on comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and ongoing treatment, integrating medication management with psychotherapy when appropriate. I focus on anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, ADHD, OCD, and psychotic disorders.
My approach integrates psychiatry, neuroscience, psychotherapy, and psychoanalytic perspectives to create individualized care. I devote meaningful time to each session and work collaboratively with you to support your goals.
I offer a limited number of appointments to ensure thoughtful, individualized care.
