Dr. Alexander Malekzadeh, DO

Dr. Alexander Malekzadeh, DO

Psychiatrist
CA
As a first generation half-Iranian and half-Vietnamese-American physician who grew up in the San Francisco East Bay of Northern California, I have a lot of multicultural influences from my family and community. This has helped me to understand and relate to people of various ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Through the combination of time-limited/brief psychotherapy, and medication management (if indicated), I intend to build a therapeutic rapport with goal treatments in mind. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, Motivational interviewing, and Supportive therapy as main modalities of treatment. I have several years of experience working for Kaiser Permanente in Oakland and Mindful Health Solutions in Walnut Creek. This has given me a lot of exposure in treating patients of various backgrounds which has familiarized me with different modalities of treatment and allows me to make referrals for interventional treatments when clinically appropriate. Currently the treatments I am offering include time-limited/brief psychotherapy and medication management.

Getting to know Dr. Alexander Malekzadeh

As a first generation half-Iranian and half-Vietnamese-American physician who grew up in the San Francisco East Bay of Northern California, I have a lot of multicultural influences from my family and community. This has helped me to understand and relate to people of various ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Through the combination of time-limited/brief psychotherapy, and medication management (if indicated), I intend to build a therapeutic rapport with goal treatments in mind.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a Board-Certified Adult Psychiatrist hearing out others and understanding what symptoms they consider most impairing to them is an important part of my personal practice. Helping people develop insight, cultivate resilience and nurture a healthier self-inner monologue through a combination of time-limited psychotherapy and medication management, if indicated, are my main modalities of treatment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Supportive Therapy in my psychotherapy treatment framework. I take psychosocial stressors and the mind-body connection into consideration when formulating an assessment and plan for everyone I evaluate. I have several years of experience treating people of various psychopathologies and socioeconomic backgrounds while working for Kaiser Permanente in Oakland and Mindful Health Solutions in Walnut Creek. This has familiarized me with different modalities of treatment so that I am able to make appropriate referrals when indicated.
