Dr. Thomas Tarshis, MD

Dr. Thomas Tarshis, MD

Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist
3030 Ashby Ave, Ste 104, Berkeley, CA
I am a Bay Area native thrilled to be living in Berkeley (where I attended college) after being in the South Bay for years. I am passionate about fixing broken systems of care, in using technology as a resource for mental health treatment, and keeping a positive attitude for my patients and their families. Since completing my medical training at Stanford in 2006 I have been devoted to providing the best care for youth while also addressing systemic failures in mental health treatment. I live my life via a strict code of ethics and believe that the most vulnerable individuals (youth) deserve the highest level of care. Many mental health care systems are failing in this regard. The best treatment for almost all mental health disorders in youth is therapy, yet often families are directed towards medication treatments. I would not want this to happen for my own children, and do not recommend medication treatment for the families I work with when therapy is the right choice. I am thrilled to be working for Bay Children’s Services. I enjoy running groups, working with parents and young children, and utilizing technology to make our work together enjoyable.
