Steve B. Skarky, MD

Psychiatrist in Oklahoma City, OK

As a psychiatrist with deep roots in Oklahoma, I graduated from Bishop McGuinness high school and Cum Laude in Pre-Med and Exercise Physiology from Wake Forest University in 1994. Completing my medical education at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and psychiatric residency program, I established a solo private practice in 2007, providing medication management as well as psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy outside the traditional insurance model.​

​By getting to know my patients on a deeper level and guiding them through a treatment path of their choice, I aim to effect lasting change in their lives. Recognizing a growing need for mens mental health treatment, I have limited my practice to teenage and older males since 2023, collaborating with the other providers at Prairie Gardens Medical for comprehensive care.

During the initial evaluation, I address various areas that affect mental health, including nutrition, exercise, restorative sleep, substance use and abuse, interpersonal communication skills, and self-awareness and acceptance. A holistic approach to mental health can lead to a more full, rich, and rewarding life. As we work together to uncover our strengths, weaknesses, doubts, fears, and blind spots, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey towards “You 2.0”.
