About

Family Wellness Center in Grantville, San Diego, is the outpatient therapy arm of San Diego Center for Children, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1887 and accredited by The Joint Commission. The clinic operates from Suite 310 at 6386 Alvarado Court in the 92120 ZIP, within the Alvarado Medical Center complex off the I-8 freeway. Clinical services target children, adolescents, and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, attachment disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder through evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. Families in the Grantville corridor whose children attend nearby programs at Little Sprouts / Learning Jungle Mission Gorge often access the center through school counselor referrals. The center holds approval as a Non-Public Agency through the California Department of Education and as a provider through the California Charter Schools Association, enabling direct school-based referral pathways. Through a partnership with Rady Children's Primary Care Medical Group, San Diego Center for Children embeds therapists inside pediatric clinics for real-time mental health screenings, a collaborative model that has served over 500 families. The clinical team includes marriage and family therapists and clinical social workers who deliver individual therapy, group therapy, and psychological assessments in English and Spanish, billing Medi-Cal Managed Care and most commercial insurance. Pediatricians at Inspire Wellness on Mission Gorge Road coordinate behavioral health referrals directly to the center's intake line for families needing same-week access. The Alvarado Court office sits near the I-8 and Fairmount Avenue interchange, within the Grantville healthcare cluster that includes multiple medical and therapy practices.
