Dr. Eric Chaghouri
M.D.About Dr. Chaghouri
Dr. Eric Chaghouri is a board-certified psychiatrist with over 14 years of experience treating addiction, mental health disorders, and the complex ways the two intersect. At MindSpace, he brings clinical precision and genuine compassion to every patient, because real recovery requires both.
He specializes in general psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, and addiction psychiatry, making him uniquely equipped to work with individuals whose struggles extend beyond a single diagnosis. Whether you're navigating substance use, a co-occurring mood disorder, trauma, or all three at once, Dr. Chaghouri approaches your care as a whole person, not a set of symptoms.
At MindSpace, Dr. Chaghouri works alongside our clinical team to ensure every patient receives medically sound, evidence-based care, whether they're stepping into our PHP program for the first time or continuing their recovery through IOP. His dual diagnosis expertise is especially central to our approach: most people who come through our doors are dealing with more than one thing, and Dr. Chaghouri's depth of experience means nothing gets missed.
