Michael Tran, Psychiatrist

Dr. Michael Tran, M.D., helps adults regain stability, clarity, and quality of life through thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care for patients across South Carolina. As a prescriber at LifeStance Health, he partners closely with each individual to create personalized medication management plans that address both symptoms and long-term wellness. Dr. Tran treats adults ages 18 and older and supports patients navigating challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression, along with additional mental health conditions. Dr. Tran provides medication management, including support for alcohol and drug use issues through medication-assisted approaches, and integrates mindfulness techniques when appropriate to promote resilience and emotional balance. His clinical work emphasizes collaborative care—listening carefully to patient goals, monitoring progress over time, and adjusting treatment plans to help people feel more like themselves again. He also treats additional concerns beyond his core focus areas, offering comprehensive psychiatric care for a wide range of needs. Rather than centering his practice on a single niche, Dr. Tran is passionate about whole-person psychiatry. He believes meaningful improvement comes from understanding the full picture—mental health symptoms, physical health, life transitions, and daily stressors—so treatment feels practical, supportive, and sustainable. This integrative philosophy guides every visit, whether he is helping someone manage long-standing mood symptoms, improve focus, or strengthen recovery. Dr. Tran is a board-certified psychiatrist who has been practicing since 2006 and brings many years of community mental health experience to his work. Outside of clinical practice, Dr. Tran enjoys traveling, learning about different cultures, gardening, karaoke, and fishing.
