Dr. Wood enjoys the diversity of culture and experience that thrives in the Bay Area. He finds it amazing that in a single day, one could hike amongst the Redwoods in Marin or Oakland, view mind-blowing art at the SF MoMA, enjoy world-class food in any of the culturally diverse neighborhoods, and then watch the sunset at Ocean Beach. Outside of work, he likes to play music, card and video games, hike (preferably amongst Redwoods), and explore the natural beauty of the West Coast.

More about Keith Wood, MD
Dr. Keith Wood is a Board-Certified Adult Psychiatrist with interests in general psychiatry, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, interventional psychiatry, mindfulness-based psychotherapies, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Other areas of professional focus are treatment-resistant psychiatric illnesses, the interplay of medical and psychiatric disorders, epidemiology, and an interest in the reemergence of psychedelic-assisted therapy modalities in the treatment of psychiatric disorders like depression and PTSD.
Over the course of residency training, he witnessed first-hand how his patients were able to improve their quality of life when given an attentive presence, utilizing psychotherapeutic principles, as well as a thoughtful consideration of the use of psychotropic medication. For him, psychiatry encompasses many of the interests he has been cultivating over the years and he is excited about the many innovative treatments on the horizon.
When working with patients, Dr. Wood provides a compassionate and collaborative approach that utilizes up-to-date knowledge of psychotherapeutic, psychopharmacologic, and somatic treatment modalities to help his patients achieve their specific treatment goals. He takes a holistic view of the person and the circumstances that have brought them to seek professional assistance. He believes that the cultivation of a balanced sense of well-being is an achievable goal.
Dr. Keith Wood finds that both TMS and esketamine can be effective in patients with depression for whom traditional medication management and psychotherapeutic approaches have been only partially effective or altogether ineffective. Having safe and effective treatments like TMS or esketamine available in the office setting provides more latitude to help patients, particularly those who haven’t been able to achieve remission with medications and talk therapy.
He joined Mindful Health Solutions in the Summer of 2021.
