Meet Dr. Locke

A primary-care psychiatrist practicing integrative medicine.

I treat adolescents and adults and am highly experienced across several areas of care, including psychopharmacology and behavioral medicine. I practice integrative psychiatry — combining a range of evidence-based methods and tailoring treatment to match each patient's needs.

When possible, I collaborate with your other providers so your care is coordinated with your primary and specialty clinicians. I have authored several books and three dozen research articles and remain active in professional societies.

I trained at Cornell University and the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University, completed my psychiatry residency at Harvard's McLean Hospital, and finished post-doctoral fellowships in psychosomatic and behavioral medicine at Boston University.

"Patient-centered care includes shared decision-making, enabling us to be partners in your care." — Dr. Steven Locke

Where I can see you.

I may practice only where I hold a medical license — and I must be licensed both where I am and where you are located at the time of our visit. If your state is highlighted, we can most likely work together.

Specialized Focus

HPPD & Visual Snow Syndrome

Dr. Locke is among the few clinicians in the country with a dedicated focus on Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder and Visual Snow Syndrome — rare, often-misunderstood conditions that are treatable with the right expertise. If you've struggled to find someone who understands what you're experiencing, this is a place to start.
