COVID-19 update: Our mental health care providers are seeing patients. Video visits are available for many appointment types. For in-person visits, we have implemented
additional safety measures to protect you and our caregivers. Call 858-534-7792, and we will guide you to the most appropriate type of care.
If you or a loved one is struggling with a behavioral or mental health condition, you are not alone. Mental and behavioral health conditions are common and yet often go undiagnosed and untreated.
Trust us to compassionately diagnose and treat your mental or behavioral health condition because our providers are experts in their fields, actively working to advance evidence-based care.
If you have never seen a mental health care professional, you can make an appointment by calling 858-534-7792 (PSYC) and come talk to someone who can put you or a loved one on a path to well-being.
Please note that some of our programs are only available to UC San Diego Health patients.
