Dr. Michael Golder, Psychiatrist

Dr. Michael Golder helps adults across California navigate life’s complexities through thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care. As a dedicated prescriber at LifeStance Health, he works closely with patients to address a range of mental health conditions using comprehensive medication management and tailored interventions. Serving adults of all ages—including young adults, those navigating midlife, and older adults—Dr. Golder provides compassionate support for individuals seeking relief from anxiety, depression, and other psychiatric disorders. Dr. Golder’s work extends to those experiencing co-occurring disorders, such as ADHD or trauma-related conditions, creating integrated care plans that address the full spectrum of a patient’s mental health needs. Dr. Golder is also trained in the evaluation of treatment-resistant depression and can refer for Spravato treatment, as well as conducting medical procedure evaluations for patients requiring psychiatric clearance. A word about ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) evaluations: Dr. Golder no longer agrees with the APA that a clinical evaluation alone is sufficient for making a clinical diagnosis, and believes that some degree of neuropsychological testing should be done. His general recommendation is that those seeking opinions regarding ADHD should first arrange for comprehensive neuropsychological testing, given the high likelihood of overlap with other psychiatric disorders (commonly mood and anxiety disorders) before consulting a psychiatrist. In addition to his work with the general adult population, Dr. Golder provides inclusive and affirming care for members of the LGBTQ+ community, military personnel and veterans, and individuals recovering from head injuries or traumatic brain events. His practice also supports first responders facing unique mental health challenges related to occupational stress and trauma. Outside of his clinical work, Dr. Golder is a passionate cook and enjoys singing when time allows—creative outlets that reflect his appreciation for balance and well-being. He speaks both English and Spanish, helping him reach a broader range of patients across California.
