ABOUT MHC

Ellie Mizani MD and Mark Hrymoc MD are the husband-and-wife team that founded MHC in Los Angeles in 2011. They sought to create a foundation that allowed psychiatrists and psychotherapists to deliver kind, compassionate, efficient, intelligent, and attentive mental health treatment, the kind they would want for their own family and loved ones. Because Dr. Mizani is a child psychiatrist and Dr. Hrymoc is an addiction psychiatrist, both specialties that involve helping not only patients but their families, they often collaborated with other therapists, physicians, and treatment programs. They knew accessibility, communication and collaboration helped them treat their patients more effectively, and should be the rule, not the exception in mental health treatment. That is why these core values are practiced throughout MHC, starting with our administrative staff. They have also witnessed an unfortunate and undeserved stigma that people struggling with mental health issues or receiving treatment for it often encounter, hence why all patients are treated with utmost respect and professionalism at MHC.

Today, MHC is a thriving group with specialists in child & adolescent psychiatry, mood disorders, addiction psychiatry, and geriatric psychiatry. Some psychiatrists focus solely on medication management, and others offer a combination of psychotherapy and medication management. Psychotherapists have certifications in various specialties, including trauma therapy, CBT, DBT, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. MHC has been designated a training site for UCLA’s addiction psychiatry program.

Because MHC developed a reputation of helping some of the most challenging psychiatric issues, Dr. Mizani and Dr. Hrymoc were excited about the prospect of starting the Ketamine Therapy Center as a promising solution for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mood disorders. They noticed most ketamine patients were only treated by those with anesthesia training, but they felt strongly that psychiatry’s toughest cases should be evaluated and treated in an ongoing way by mental health professionals. Patients should also be given a thorough discussion of alternatives, including simpler and less-costly therapy or medication solutions that could really help them. Our Ketamine Therapy Center was designed with these principles in mind. Along with ketamine administered by a skilled nursing team for patient safety and comfort, we have created a new standard in ketamine treatment.
