Westlake Psychiatry
Specialist psychiatric care,
without the rush.
A new kind of practice
Hanoi's first independent international psychiatry clinic — offering the diagnostic depth and unhurried care that expat families and local Hanoians deserve.
Time, actually given
Unhurried appointments. The kind of time it actually takes to think clearly about someone.
Specialty depth
UCSF-trained expertise across adult, child, and complex presentations — including OCD, neurodiversity, and dementia.
Cross-cultural fluency
Deeply attuned to TCK and expat experience, bilingual care pathways, and the Vietnamese family context.
The practice
Westlake Psychiatry is a fee-for-service independent clinic founded by Dr. Stephen Allison — a UCSF-trained American psychiatrist with over a decade of clinical leadership experience, including directing an inpatient psychiatric service in Marin County, California.
Now based in Hanoi with his family, Dr. Allison brings that depth of experience to one of Southeast Asia's most underserved specialty mental health markets — offering evaluation, diagnosis, psychopharmacology, and coordinated care for adults, children, and families.
The clinic collaborates with international schools, local hospitals, and specialist partners in autism and neurodevelopmental care across Hà Nội.
Areas of care
Evaluation and treatment of mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, psychosis, and treatment-resistant presentations. Psychopharmacology with psychotherapy coordination.
Psychiatric evaluation for school-age children and teenagers, including ADHD, anxiety, and developmental concerns. Developed through growing clinical experience in Hanoi's international school community, in close collaboration with school counselors and local specialists.
Diagnostic evaluation and psychiatric support for autism and neurodevelopmental conditions. Integration with ABA providers and educational teams for holistic care planning.
Specialized care attentive to the unique psychological demands of expatriate life, third culture kid identity, transitions, and cross-cultural adjustment for individuals and families.
Careful clinical evaluation of cognitive decline, dementia, and late-life psychiatric concerns — grounded in thorough assessment rather than reflexive testing. For families trying to make sense of a complex picture.
Second opinions, complex case consultation, and coordinated care with physicians, therapists, and schools. A specialist anchor for Hanoi's international medical community.
