Getting to know Dr. Benjamin Cheyette
Dr. Cheyette is Board-Certified in Psychiatry with over twenty years of practice treating a wide variety of patients, including those with depression. He loves general psychiatry, has a clinical interest in adult ADHD, and has additional expertise in substance abuse treatment, including a second board certification in Addiction Medicine.
He earned his Doctor of Medicine and PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles. He completed his internship and residency in Psychiatry at the University of Washington. Since high school, if not earlier, he has been analytical about human behavior and interested in the brain.
While initially leaning toward academia, he found great satisfaction in direct patient care during medical school and beyond. Throughout his years of research and professorship, he continued to treat patients and is passionate about helping people overcome emotional challenges.
He has a collaborative approach that emphasizes sharing his deep formal expertise and clinical experience to help patients make well-informed decisions. He recognizes that for all patients in the outpatient setting, treatment for mental health is a choice, and so a patient must be on board with any proposed therapeutic approach. He has found the best way to achieve this is by offering a thorough explanation of his thought process so that his patients understand his rationale for recommending a course of treatment.
Having spent several decades in academia as a research scientist, including running a National Institute of Health (NIH)-funded laboratory exploring genetic and neurobiological bases for psychiatric illness and its treatment, he is very interested in cutting-edge innovations such as esketamine and the rationally based treatment Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and is eager to use them to help patients.
He joined Mindful Health Solutions in early 2021.
