Sam Vesuna, M.D., Ph.D. 

Welcome

I am a Stanford-trained psychiatrist offering in-person and virtual appointments from my Menlo Park office. I offer talk therapy, medication managment and ketamine treatments. I know fitting appointments into a typical workday can be difficult, which is why my clinic offers after-hours and weekend appointments.

I am committed to providing you compassionate care, alleviating your suffering, and helping you find success, fullfillment and enjoyment in your life.  After listening closely to your challenges and circumstances, we work together to design a treatment plan that aligns with your values and needs. 

I have additional specialization in: 

• understanding and growing core aspects of your identity and sense of self.

•  diagnosis and treatment of depression, anxiety and bipolar disorders. 

• ketamine treatments for depression, PTSD and anxiety disorders.
