John “Michael” Huff,

Psychiatrist

, MD

I am a psychiatrist with experience using medications alongside  a variety of psychodynamic therapies and modalities. I have previously worked at the University of New Mexico, undergoing clinical training surrounded by kind people and beautiful landscapes. I also practiced intensive treatment for personality disorders, facilitated group therapy, and supervised other clinicians in an interdisciplinary team at Silver Hill Hospital.

I prefer evidence-based psychodynamic therapies to make treatment as effective as possible which can be used to treat a wide variety of symptoms, especially for depression and anxiety. My approach to care involves a combination of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and mentalizing-based therapy (MBT).

When I work with a patient, I prioritize collaboration, endeavoring that they feel heard and actively involved in their treatment plan. I am passionate about people receiving access to high quality, affordable mental healthcare, which is part of what drew me to Rivia Mind. My hope is to orient care around your motivation and to use medication and therapy to facilitate change.

Why Work with Me?

I believe everyone deserves access to affordable, high-quality care that feels personal and empowering. My approach focuses on understanding what drives you and using therapy and medication as supportive tools—not stand-alone solutions—for achieving meaningful, lasting change. I strive to ensure you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in the process. Together, we’ll develop a plan that aligns with your needs and values, and we’ll approach any challenges along the way with openness and mutual trust.
