Dr. Jessica Sheu Haslam is a board-certified psychiatrist with UCLA Behavioral Health Associates, providing integrated psychiatric care within the collaborative care model at UCLA Health Westlake Village. She is deeply honored and grateful to be the first UCLA psychiatrist providing in-person care (as well as video visits) in the Conejo Valley and continuing to serve patients within the UCLA Health community.  She fell in love with psychiatry during her residency years. Dr. Haslam is passionate about building strong, collaborative relationships with primary care clinicians, ensuring that every patient receives the highest quality and whole-person care, that addresses both mind and body.

Dr. Haslam treats adults with depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, ADHD, student mental health, co-occurring substance use disorders, and those seeking psychotherapy. She has a particular interest in reproductive psychiatry and peripartum mental health, as well as the use of novel therapeutic agents and interventions to treat psychiatric disorders.                                

She earned her medical degree from the Baylor College of Medicine, where she was recognized with the prestigious Hilde Bruch Excellence in Psychiatry Award. She completed her psychiatry residency at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, serving in a number of leadership positions, as both Program Chief Resident and Inpatient Chief Resident at the UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. She also received the David Geffen School of Medicine’s Excellence in Mentorship Award during her residency. Her academic work includes several peer-reviewed publications in Psychiatry, two research studies on OCD, which have been cited more than 20 times.

Originally from Rowland Heights, California, growing up in her close-knit Taiwanese family and Asian community, Dr. Haslam then spent a decade in Houston completing her undergraduate and medical training, before returning home to Los Angeles to complete her training and join UCLA Health. She also met her husband in Houston, who is a native Texan and is now a pulmonary/critical care physician at UCLA Health Triunfo in Thousand Oaks. She enjoys starting her days on a positive note with running and weightlifting. Outside of work, she loves escaping into her next non-fiction book, exploring the local trails throughout the beautiful Conejo Valley, and spending time in the kitchen trying another healthy recipe with whole food ingredients. She looks forward to sharing her passion for health and wellness, as well as improving the lives of all her patients.
