About Us

Dr. Ricardo J. Whyte is an award-winning psychiatrist and a mental health maestro who’s been orchestrating the well-being of his patients for nearly two decades AND is the mastermind behind the Master Mind Institute. 

Born in the Republic of Panama and raised in the bustling neighbourhood of Bed-Stuy, in Brooklyn New York, he’s the embodiment of perseverance and passion. His journey led him to earn a degree in Biochemistry from Atlantic Union College, graduating cum laude. He then swapped test tubes for textbooks at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, where he earned his MD. After a Psychiatry Residency at Loma Linda and an Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship at UCLA, he emerged with double board certifications in Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry as well as Addiction Psychiatry.

Since 2017, he’s been at the helm of behavioral health at the Community Hospital of San Bernardino as Section Chief of Psychiatry, where he’s known for his innovative approach to mental health care.

He’s also a trailblazer in the fight against burnout. As the founder of the Master Mind Institute, he developed the Killing Burnout Membership, a program designed to help professionals prevent and recover from burnout while reaching their peak performance. His approach is a blend of science, strategy, spirituality, and a dash of humour—because who says mental health has to be all serious?

When he's not busy being a psychiatric powerhouse or coaching others to their best selves, Dr. Whyte is a devoted family man, happily married to the lovely Florence Vincent and a proud father to their daughter, Alexi Genevieve, both of whom keep him grounded and inspired.
