Our mission is simple: help people feel better, sooner.
We offer concierge level service, at insurance prices. Specializing in medication-informed care with a thoughtful, collaborative approach — taking the time to understand not just symptoms, but who you are, how you live, and what you’re trying to achieve.
New patients are welcomed quickly, with both in-person visits in Newport Beach and telepsychiatry throughout California — plus the ability to message us between appointments for increased access and support.
We’re also here to help you figure out what you need, explain your options clearly, and guide you toward the path that feels right for you — whether that includes medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a mix of all three.
