Dr. Rhonda Mattox, MD

You Are Everyone’s Go-To. Who Do You Go To? You’re the team player l the problem-solver l the decision-maker l the one who remembers the details, anticipates what’s next, and somehow finds a way to make it all work. You walk the runway of life and make it look effortless. But behind the polished presentation, you carry more than others realize. You manage the moving pieces, remember the appointments, show up for the people you love, and make sure everyone around you feels seen, supported, and prioritized. Until one day, you realize something uncomfortable: You’re not at the bottom of your priority list. You’re not even on the list. Don't wait until you hit rock bottom or you're running on empty to prioritize YOUR mental health. Don't wait until you are disappointed again from showing up when someone else's world is falling apart and find yourself navigating your own difficult season with less support than you imagined when your world is falling apart. When your world is shifting, the weight of balancing everyone else’s needs grow more exhausting. Whether you're navigating grief, adjusting to a change in your family, reconsidering your career, managing anxiety, or simply ready to feel more like yourself again, you deserve care that recognizes the woman behind the responsibilities. If you have ever said, "I need a me in my life" because you were tired of being the "strong friend", "confidante" and go-to, MEET DR. RHONDA MATTOX, YOUR GO-TO PSYCHIATRIST! Welcome! For nearly 25 years, I've worked with people navigating anxiety, mood changes, grief, career transitions, relationship distress, parenting challenges, sleep difficulties, substance use, and other chaos and concerns that can impact your emotional wellness and everyday life. I understand that life rarely follows "the plan." Like you, I've experienced disappointment, competing responsibilities, grief, and the uncomfortable decisions that come with recognizing when something needs to change. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that caring for yourself sometimes requires a different kind of courage: the willingness to pause, assess, reset and make room for difficult conversations and the strength to "no" better. I'm Dr. Rhonda J. Mattox, a triple-fellowship-trained, board-certified psychiatrist and Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. My professional experience spans clinical care and leadership, including roles as Chief Medical Officer, Medical Director, Associate Professor, and Staff Psychiatrist. I've worked across a variety of settings from Hollywood to Capitol Hill and many places in between. My work in employee assistance, primary care settings, detention centers, trauma centers, and forensic units, allows me to bring together clinical expertise, thoughtful problem-solving, and an appreciation for the circumstances that shape people's lives across the life span. Your story doesn't have to mirror mine for us to have a meaningful conversation. YOUR STORY. YOUR PRIORITIES. YOUR MENTAL HEALTH BLUEPRINT. You deserve to be heard without judgment and treated as a whole person, not a collection of symptoms. I consider my job straightforward, even when the work itself is not: Understand where you are. Learn where you want to go. And help you identify a thoughtful path forward based on your needs and priorities while reminding you that you don't need anyone's permission slip to do what's best for your health and wealth. I provide a space where you can speak honestly without feeling you must hold everything together. I help you gain a better understanding of what you're experiencing and the options available to you. We forge a thoughtful partnership in which your preferences and priorities are integrated into the treatment plan. My personalized psychiatric services occur through telehealth for patients located in Arkansas. Your next chapter deserves a mental health blueprint designed with you in mind. You've spent enough time being everyone's go-to. Let's make room for you. I look forward to meeting you where you are and navigating the path to "there" with you.
