| Our
mission is to provide state of the art
outpatient mental health services to adults and
older adults in the San Diego area.
Our
care philosophy is based on a concern for the
overall psychological well-being of our patients
and respect for their individual needs.
Our
primary goal focuses on alleviating acute
psychological distress resulting from life crises
and mental disorders and on improving quality of
life. We
achieve this goal through the delivery of
coordinated psychiatric services provided by a
multi-disciplinary team of UCSD faculty and mental
health professionals –in- training tailored to
the patient’s individual needs.
We believe that a key factor in psychological health is a strong
support system and community connection.
We have firmly established relationships
with community mental health, social service and
self-help groups that we enlist on behalf of our
patients.
We
strive to coordinate care with all providers
involved with our patients to achieve integrated
services. We
offer psychological, behavioral and
psychopharmacological treatments that are based on
the latest research within the context of a
trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship.
