UC San Diego Health Psychiatry – La Jolla

About

Academic medical center psychiatry outpatient clinic at 8950 Villa La Jolla Dr, Suite C101, La Jolla, CA 92037, anchoring the ground floor of a building where Mindpath Health and LifeStance Health operate private practices on the upper floors — an arrangement that gives patients three psychiatric organizations under one roof with fundamentally different clinical models. UC San Diego Health Psychiatry is staffed by UCSD Department of Psychiatry faculty physicians, residents, and fellows, providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and senior behavioral health services within a teaching-hospital framework. The academic model offers access to clinical trials and subspecialty referrals unavailable through private outpatient providers. UCSD's own Professor Emeritus David Feifel founded Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute on Holiday Ct after leaving the university, bringing his ketamine and TMS research into a private-practice setting where treatment-resistant patients bypass academic scheduling constraints.
