Robert McLay is a psychiatrist and pain medicine physician who received board certifications in three areas: General Psychiatry, Pain Medicine, and Psychosomatic Medicine (the overlap between medical and mental health). He has a special focus on military, their families, and high-performance issues, but treats all mental health conditions. Dr. McLay received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The Johns Hopkins University, and his Ph.D. in neuroscience and M.D. from Tulane University. He received specialty training from Naval Medical Center, the University of California San Diego, and the American Psychoanalytic Association.
Individual psychotherapy, medication management, and advanced modalities, such as transcranial magnetic simulation, are offered for depression, pain, trauma, cognitive function, and maximal performance. Also available for consultations and speaking engagements to organizations and large groups.
I've seen the strong broken, and the broken become strong in the broken places. It has been my honor to help some of the most amazing people on the planet, and it is always incredible to see them not just bounce back, but fly.

Treatment varies, but typically includes both therapy and biological options. In the end, you are the captain of the ship, but I know the waterways and will help guide along the way.
