Intakes seen within 1–2 weeks
We are currently accepting new patients and can get intakes seen within 1–2 weeks. To send us referrals directly, please contact us by phone or email.
We believe the best psychiatric care occurs through open communication, timely access, and coordinated treatment. Our goal is to provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and evidence-based treatment while working closely with referring clinicians to ensure continuity of care.
Whether you are referring a patient for diagnostic clarification, medication management, or ongoing psychiatric treatment, we appreciate your trust and are committed to providing exceptional care.
How to Refer
Sending Us a Referral Takes One Call or One Email
There is no referral portal to learn and no lengthy paperwork packet. Reach out however is easiest for your office, and our team will take it from there.
Call (760) 688-4080 or email info@psychwellnesscenter.com with the patient's name, contact information, and the reason for referral.
Our team contacts the patient to schedule their intake, confirm insurance and benefits, and answer questions about what to expect at the first visit.
With the patient's authorization, we share evaluation findings and treatment updates so your care and ours stay aligned over time.

Continuity of Care
How We Work Alongside Referring Clinicians
We believe the best psychiatric care occurs through open communication, timely access, and coordinated treatment. Referring a patient to us should never mean losing visibility into their care.
When you refer a patient, our goal is to strengthen the care you are already providing rather than replace it. We complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, discuss findings and options with the patient, and build an evidence-based treatment plan around their history, goals, and circumstances.
With the patient's written authorization, we communicate with your office about the evaluation, the treatment plan, and meaningful changes along the way, so the patient is not left to relay clinical information between practices.
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations
- Evidence-based, individualized treatment plans
- Coordination with therapy and primary care
- Clear communication back to the referring clinician
Areas of Focus
Presentations We Commonly See
Our practice focuses on adult psychiatry, with particular depth in adult ADHD, anxiety and panic, and women's mental health across the reproductive lifespan.
If you are unsure whether a particular patient is a good fit, calling our office is usually the fastest way to find out. Our team can talk through the referral, confirm whether we are the right setting for that level of care, and let you know current intake availability before the patient is contacted.
For patients who need a higher level of care than an outpatient practice can safely provide, we will say so directly and help point the referral in a more appropriate direction.
