Mary E. Theodore, MD, MPH

At Mary E. Theodore, MD, we believe that good mental health relies on the capacity for adaptation and change. Our ability to adapt to the environment depends on roots sunk deep in the soil of personal history, biology, culture, and genetics. As a board-certified psychiatrist with over 25 years of experience, I, Dr. Mary E. Theodore, am dedicated to promoting self-understanding, creating satisfying solutions, and helping my patients restore their balance and well-being.

As a Portland psychiatrist, I use a variety of approaches to address the complex issues my patients face. An initial assessment helps us develop an understanding of the complex issues at play. I use psychotherapy if that is a promising approach. As a psychopharmacologist, I may prescribe and manage medication as needed. However, I also advocate for alternatives to medications, such as regular exercise and proper nutrition to help my patients restore vitality, balance, and meaning in their lives.

My Portland-area practice is inclusive, treating people of every educational, socio-economic, and ethnic background, as well as every sexual orientation. My patients range from late adolescence to old age. I maintain the highest professional standards, keeping up-to-date with the latest research and guidelines. I do not accept pharmaceutical company funding or gifts, ensuring my clinical decisions are evidence-based.
