about our psychology office Carlsbad, CA
Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers brings together the highest level Professionals, providing uniquely advanced, cutting edge treatment approaches. We strive to find the optimum combination of treatment modalities with the lowest level of medications needed for stability. Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers specializes in psychosis and the various forms of schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. We are also expert in treating PTSD and anxiety/depression. We use the most highly rated psychiatrists with experience in treating serious mental health issues combined with a psychopharmocologist.

This combination ensures the patient is receiving the optimal dose of the most effective medication that is unique to them. This eliminates the problem of over-medicating or the patient being left on an ineffective starter dose. Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers is very unique in that we encourage family participation throughout the treatment process, with the permission of the patient. This includes family therapy which helps with reintegration

Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers understands the need for an holistic approach to treatment. Although group therapy and individual psychotherapy are very important, much can be gained towards a healthy emotional and mental state by engaging in our equine therapy, art therapy, kayaking, sculpting class, swimming and yoga classes.

In addition, assistance is provided in short term and long term goal setting with emphasis on realistic expectations of the patients’ desires and abilities. This often includes returning to educational pursuits or job training. We provide assistance with resume creation and the interviewing process. Discharge planning is an important part of the treatment process as well. We introduce realistic options with family involvement where appropriate.
