Dr. Mark Janikula is a Naturopathic Physician specializing in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. He offers his patients unique and comprehensive care. He invests the time to understand each person’s complaints, reviews all the treatment options both natural and conventional, and helps choose the best treatments to stimulate the healing processes.

Dr. Janikula's education began by studying both chemistry and nutrition science at St. John's University. His passion for natural healing led him to Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM) where he received his Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine (N.D.). Dr. Janikula practiced in both Minnesota and Montana before moving to Santa Cruz, CA in 2011.

Through obsessive research and trials with his patients, Dr. Janikula has developed a method for managing complicated cases of psychiatric illness. He is currently organizing a pilot trial to validate the results of his method in various psychiatric conditions. “My goal with every patient is to induce “genetic remission” in the most rapid, gentle and permanent way possible.” Dr. Janikula lectures and mentors other physicians on the application of his method. He is currently compiling his research and patient records to write the definitive textbook on natural psychiatry.

When not seeing patients or researching, Dr. Janikula enjoys the outdoors by mountain biking, running, surfing, fly fishing, or snowboarding.
