About

Carolyn Clark, PMHNP-BC brings board-certified psychiatric medication management to Carlsbad at the Mindpath Health office on Hidden Valley Road, holding certification from the American Nurses Credentialing Center after completing her MSN at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, in 2013. Her prescribing scope covers anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and OCD across the lifespan from pediatrics through adulthood, with an integrative treatment philosophy that incorporates mindfulness, nutrition, and exercise alongside pharmacotherapy — an approach that interfaces with the yoga and breath-work modalities at Breathe Degrees for patients whose treatment plans include structured movement. Clinical experience at Children's National Medical Center's inpatient psychiatric unit in Washington, D.C., built a pediatric psychiatry foundation that informs the child and adolescent medication management offered at this Carlsbad location. Georgetown University BSN training preceded the University of Maryland graduate program, establishing a dual-institution nursing education pedigree. Telehealth capability extends the practice statewide across California, supplementing in-person appointments at the 92011 office near the Omni La Costa Resort corridor where Longevity Physical Therapy - La Costa addresses the somatic symptoms that frequently co-present with psychiatric conditions. Complex case management includes multi-drug regimen design for treatment-resistant depression combining SSRI/SNRI therapy with augmentation agents, stimulant titration protocols for ADHD using validated rating scales, and mood-stabilizer monitoring requiring periodic hepatic and renal function panels.
