Dr. Stu Jones is an adult general psychiatrist in clinical practice at WisPIC on the west side of Madison and is dually appointed through UWSMPH and UWHealth. He completed his medical training at Rosalind Frankin School of Medicine and Science in 2011 and his residency training in psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2015. After serving as chief resident in 2015 and joining the Department of Psychiatry as faculty, he served as Associate Program Director for the general residency program until 2026. He has been involved with the work of Dr. Raison’s lab as a study physician and lead facilitator since 2024.
Stu has been extensively involved in the education of resident psychiatrists, teaching in both clinical and didactic settings. He is particularly passionate about teaching on common-factors grounded psychotherapeutic process and psychodynamic psychotherapy, along with the intersection of these areas with general psychiatric practice. In addition to his clinical practice in general psychiatry, he maintains a small individual psychotherapy panel with a psychodynamic and 3rd wave emphasis, privileging exploration and integration of dreams and other products of non-ordinary states of consciousness. Since 2017, he has led the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) group therapy program in the Department of Psychiatry.
Stu is interested in the emerging connections between novel psychopharmacologic agents like psychedelics with firmly grounded individual and group psychotherapeutic approaches and use of contemplative practices to support human health and flourishing.
