A Whole-Person
Approach to Psychiatry
Dr. Sekhon believes that lasting mental health comes from understanding the whole person — not just symptoms. He integrates medication management with evidence-based non-pharmaceutical strategies, including mindfulness-based techniques, meditation practices, and the emerging science of nutrition's role in mental health.
This philosophy extends to every treatment plan he builds. Rather than defaulting to medication as a first or only tool, Dr. Sekhon works collaboratively with patients to identify what combination of approaches will serve them best — whether that means medication, lifestyle changes, or both.
Dr. Sekhon grew up in California and attended UC San Diego, completing his undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology before earning his medical degree at University of New England. He completed his residency in Psychiatry at University Hospitals, Case Medical Center — where he served as Chief Resident — followed by a fellowship in Sleep Medicine. His background working with high-performance athletes further shaped his integrative approach to mental performance and resilience.
After completing training, Dr. Sekhon returned to California and has been practicing in Walnut Creek since 2009.
