Ian Matthews
Ian Matthews created Up Psychiatry with the mission of providing the highest quality psychiatric care that is personalized to each individual. An important foundation of successful psychiatric treatment lies in establishing a strong therapeutic relationship between the patient and healthcare provider.
With this approach clients will feel comfortable from the very first visit which establishes a basis for a healthy collaborative partnership in the treatment process.
With this, Ian provides special attention to detail throughout the entire treatment journey. He aims to understand each patient's unique story which allows for the application of an individualized treatment approach through evidenced-based medication management and psychotherapy.
