Deb Matityahu
Affiliate, Obstetrics & Gynecology - General GYN
BioDebra Matityahu, MD, MSCP, is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience caring for women. She is a Clinical Associate Professor with the Stanford Program in Menopause & Healthy Aging, where she specializes in the care of women during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
Dr. Matityahu has focused on menopause care for more than two decades. During her 21 years at Kaiser Permanente in Redwood City, she served as the medical center’s menopause specialist, providing consultations and managing challenging menopause referrals from physician colleagues. She believes that menopause care should be individualized and collaborative, helping each woman understand her symptoms, treatment options, and the potential benefits and risks of therapy so that she can make informed decisions about her health.
Dr. Matityahu also serves as Chief Clinical Officer and Medical Advisor for Soy ELLA, a menopause-focused telehealth company based in Mexico that is expanding access to specialized menopause care for women in Latin America.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Matityahu has extensive experience in physician leadership and communication. She served in a physician leadership role at Kaiser Permanente for more than a decade and spent nearly 20 years teaching and coaching physicians in communication skills, bedside manner, and the patient experience. She brings that same emphasis on listening, communication, and shared decision-making to her own patient care.
Dr. Matityahu received her undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University and her medical degree from New Jersey Medical School/Rutgers University. She completed an internship in Internal Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University followed by residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Medical College of Pennsylvania/Drexel University.
Her commitment to women’s health extends beyond her clinical practice. Dr. Matityahu is the founder and Executive Director of Beyond Fistula, a nonprofit organization serving women and girls in western Kenya following obstetric fistula surgery. The organization provides education, vocational training, peer support, and economic empowerment programs designed to help women rebuild their lives after fistula repair. Her work in global women’s health has contributed to published research on the psychosocial, economic, reproductive, and empowerment outcomes of women recovering from obstetric fistula.
Dr. Matityahu has received numerous awards recognizing her leadership and service, including the David Lawrence Community Service Award and the Rotary Peninsula Starlight Award, and she was named one of the Silicon Valley Business Journal’s 100 Most Influential Women in Silicon Valley.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Matityahu enjoys tennis, hiking, and spending time with her family. She has crossed Nepal’s Annapurna Pass and more recently summited Mount Kilimanjaro as part of a stoma and fistula awareness campaign. -
Ryan Matlow
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioRyan Matlow, Ph.D., is a child clinical psychologist who serves as Director of Community Programs for Stanford’s Early Life Stress and Resilience Program, and is a faculty member in Stanford's Human Rights and Trauma Mental Health Program. His clinical and research efforts focus on understanding and addressing the impact of stress, adversity, and trauma in children, families, and communities. In particular, Dr. Matlow seeks to apply current scientific knowledge of the neurobiological and developmental impact of stress, trauma, and adversity in shaping interventions and systems of care. Dr. Matlow is focused on engaging diverse populations and providing evidence-based individual, family, and systems interventions for posttraumatic stress following interpersonal trauma, with an emphasis on efforts in school, community, and integrated care settings. He is engaged in clinical service, program development, and interdisciplinary collaboration efforts that address childhood trauma exposure in communities that have been historically marginalized, under-resourced, and/or experienced human rights violations. He has worked extensively in providing trauma-focused psychological evaluation, treatment, and advocacy services with immigrant youth and families, with a focus on immigrants from Latin American countries. Dr. Matlow is involved in the training and dissemination of Stanford's Cue Centered Therapy (Carrion, 2015), a flexible, manualized intervention addressing childhood experiences of chronic trauma.

Mohamad Matout, MD, MSc
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Mohamad Matout is a board-certified, fellowship-trained psychiatrist with Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Matout specializes in using brain stimulation therapies to treat mental illnesses and neurological disorders that do not respond to standard treatments. These therapies include deep brain stimulation (DBS), electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). He serves as the attending psychiatrist for the Youth TMS Clinic at Stanford Health Care, providing transcranial magnetic stimulation for adolescents with treatment-resistant mood disorders. Dr. Matout also uses avatar therapy, an investigational treatment for psychosis that involves using a digital avatar to represent the voices a patient hears.
Dr. Matout’s research centers on brain health as a unifying framework for understanding psychiatric illness across the lifespan. Using a statistical modeling technique called psychometric network analysis, he maps how psychiatric symptoms mutually reinforce or suppress one another. This method reveals the structure of mental illness beyond traditional diagnostic categories. Dr. Matout developed the approach through his graduate work on brain health in HIV and post-COVID syndrome. He now applies it to neuromodulation (changing nerve signals for treatment) and other novel interventions.
Dr. Matout’s two primary lines of research are TMS for adolescents and avatar therapy. He also contributes to a broader range of neuromodulation studies through collaboration with the Brain Stimulation Lab at Stanford University School of Medicine. Beyond his clinical and research work, Dr. Matout is co-founder of AVAtalk Technologies Inc., a mental health technology startup focused on avatar-based therapeutic solutions.
Dr. Matout has authored peer-reviewed publications in Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, Quality of Life Research, and CEN Case Reports. He has also contributed chapters to Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2027 and Katzung & Trevor's Basic & Clinical Pharmacology (17th ed., McGraw-Hill, in press).
Dr. Matout is a member of the American Neuropsychiatric Association (ANPA) and the Brain Stimulation Society (BraSS), where he serves as assistant treasurer.
