These core values are the foundation that empowers Serenity patients with choice in their own recovery.

Before embarking on his professional journey, Dr. Tripp obtained his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree from Midwestern University, Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2009.

Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders. These include various maladaptations related to mood, behaviour, 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.

Child and adolescent psychiatry, also known as pediatric psychiatry, is a branch of psychiatry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders in children, adolescents, and their families. A child and adolescent psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of thinking, feeling, as well as behavior affecting children, adolescents, and their families.

Outside of the office, Dr. Tripp’s interests include participating in sports, fixing cars, reading, and spending time with his family.
