A committed psychiatrist, Dr. Enenbach sees patients at ResWell Health in Pasadena, California. His approach emphasizes the holistic well-being of each individual, recognizing that optimal treatment may encompass a range of modalities beyond medication alone. His warmth and patient-centered approach make him a cherished asset to both his colleagues and the individuals he serves.

Before embarking on his professional journey, he received his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine. His tenure at the University of California, San Francisco, where he completed his general psychiatry residency, laid the groundwork for his profound understanding of the intricacies of the human mind. Finally, he delved into the realm of child and adolescent psychiatry during his fellowship at the University of Washington.

An authority in his field, the doctor is board-certified in psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). The ABPN is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to serving the professions of psychiatry and neurology.

Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders. These include various maladaptations related to mood, behavior, cognition, and perceptions. Psychiatrists evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients with mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. They conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations, develop treatment plans, prescribe medication, and evaluate treatment results.

Outside of the office, Dr. Enenbach enjoys spending time with his two golden retrievers, needlepoint, Pilates, Adult Lego, and fashion magazines. He is also passionate about vintage cars, which is evident in his cherished possession, Big Red, a 1982 convertible that brings him both joy and occasional financial woes.
