James Hellekson

M.D., Psychiatrist

My name is Dr. James Hellekson, and I am a Psychiatrist at MWI. I earned my M.D. from the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine and hold a certification in General Psychiatry.

I specialize in adult/geriatric/general psychiatry as well as TMS and Spravato. My approach to care is patient-centered and collaborative by establishing treatment goals and offering tretament options including medication management and neuromodulation to address these. 

I chose this profession because of my long-held interest in neurobiology/neuroscience and previous education/work experience in behavioral health. I find it most rewarding to get to know my patients as individuals and working with them to addres their concerns effectively. 

Outside of work, I enjoy outdoors activities and traveling, and I believe these activities help me stay balanced and energized to support my clients.
