Psychiatric rehabilitation specialist Joan M Danford operates an occupational therapy practice in Grantville, San Diego, at 4525 Mission Gorge Pl in the 92120 ZIP. She holds dual credentials as an Occupational Therapist Registered and a Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner, a combination that places her scope at the intersection of functional skill-building and mental health recovery rather than the orthopedic or neurological OT track. Her NPI is 1003840695, and the CPRP certification from the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association signals training in evidence-based recovery models for individuals living with serious mental illness, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions. The psychiatric rehabilitation referral pipeline connects to prescribing providers in the area, and practitioners such as Emily Econie handle the medication management side of cases where OT addresses the functional recovery component. Mission Gorge Place sits off Mission Gorge Road in Grantville's commercial corridor, south of the I-8 interchange and within the stretch of medical and light-industrial offices that define this sub-community. The OT scope under psychiatric rehabilitation covers community reintegration skills, vocational readiness assessment, independent living task training, social skill development, and coping strategy implementation — functional domains that clinical psychology and psychiatry do not typically address directly. Musculoskeletal components of her patients' recovery plans sometimes involve co-management with movement specialists, and Pittman Chiropractic in Grantville handles the spinal and postural rehabilitation side for patients whose physical deconditioning accompanies their psychiatric recovery trajectory. Joan Danford Enterprises is the business entity registered for the practice.
