About Dr. Gentry

A Psychiatrist who treats people, not just symptoms.

Dr. Preston Gentry is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist specializing in Psychotherapy (talk therapy) and medication management. He trained at Brown University and Wake Forest University, and went on to serve as Medical Director of Psychiatry for multiple hospitals in California before founding Gentry Psychiatric. His practice reflects a deliberately different model of care: unhurried, individualized, and attuned to the complexities of each patient’s life.

“Providing the care you deserve extends beyond symptom management, because being heard is the first step toward being understood.”

Providing the care you deserve.

Symptoms affecting your mental health do not occur in isolation, and neither should your treatment. Gentry Psychiatric provides care that is comprehensive, collaborative, and built for lasting change.

Insight & Self-Understanding

Talk Therapy

A collaborative, in-depth process focused on understanding patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior over time. Sessions are designed to create space for meaningful insight and lasting change.

Thoughtful Prescribing

Medication Management

Evidence-based prescribing, closely monitored and adjusted over time as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, not an isolated quick fix.

In-Depth Evaluation

Comprehensive Assessment

A thorough medical, psychiatric, and neurocognitive evaluation designed to move beyond surface-level diagnosis and develop a more complete, nuanced understanding of each patient. This process serves as the foundation for a tailored, individualized treatment plan.

Flexible Access

Telehealth Psychiatry

Telehealth offers a flexible option for receiving care, designed to fit within life’s demands without compromising quality. Sessions are conducted with the same level of attention, depth, and continuity as in-person care.

Who This Practice Serves

Care designed for those seeking deeper understanding, clarity, and lasting change

Gentry Psychiatric serves those who approach their lives with purpose, bring that same level of intention to their mental health, and value a trusted, long-term relationship with a psychiatrist who understands the demands of a high-performing world.

Many are navigating persistent stress, burnout, or high-functioning anxiety, often while maintaining demanding careers and outward success. They are not looking for surface-level solutions, but for a more thoughtful, comprehensive approach that supports clarity, balance, and lasting change.
