Mental health is not just the absence of illness, it is also about living a fulfilling and meaningful life.

My approach

Taking the first step to prioritize your mental health can be difficult, which is why I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. Collaboration is at the heart of my approach to treatment planning. Together, we'll create a customized treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs and goals. Whether you are interested in medication management, lifestyle interventions, supportive therapy, or a combination, my goal is to actively support and guide you toward healing and growth so that you can find peace and fulfillment in your life.

Jasmine Tatum, MD is a Black Psychiatrist in the Bay Area

Jasmine Tatum, MD

I graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University with a bachelor's degree in psychology and obtained my medical degree from the Icahn School of Medicine. During medical school, I was awarded the Netter Merit Scholarship and selected as an MSTAR and HuMed scholar. I completed my Psychiatry Residency at Stanford University where I received the Gulevich Award, served as Chief Resident, and completed additional specialized training in Diversity, equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Consult Liaison Psychiatry (CLP).

Currently, I serve as an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University, where I am dedicated to teaching and mentorship. I also work as a Psychiatrist in La Selva’s Partial Hospital Program, providing personalized support to individuals with acute psychiatric needs. My passion lies in creating a safe and supportive environment for those facing mental health challenges, utilizing my training to navigate complex psychiatric disorders with cultural sensitivity.
