Psychiatrist in California,
Ashley Hoeck Anderson, DO

“I tend to view mental health as a vast spectrum of human emotion and experience that includes both adaptations to life circumstances as well as diagnosable mental illness.


My goal in working with a patient is to listen to and collaborate with them in determining what difficulties they are experiencing, and then to create a treatment plan that considers their unique combination of biological, psychological, cultural, and social factors. Although I work with and treat patients suffering all manner of mental health conditions, I have special interest in mood disorders, PTSD/trauma, and women’s mental health. I believe that therapy and medication management are both valuable treatment options and strive to empower patients with humanistic care that is compassionate, inclusive, and evidence-based.


A native of North Dakota, I earned undergraduate degrees in Psychology, Biology, and Criminal Justice at Minnesota State University Moorhead before moving to Oregon to attend medical school at Western University of Health Sciences COMP-NW. My residency in General Psychiatry was completed at Samaritan Health Services in Corvallis, Oregon. Throughout my time in healthcare, I’ve enjoyed working in both rural and urban areas, with a diverse patient population.”
