We are entering an era where mental health is less stigmatized leading to growth in its awareness and treatment. Simultaneously research in psychiatric genetics and neurobiology are rapidly emerging, promising more precise and effective treatment for mental health illnesses.
There is much work to be done.
We provide comprehensive psychiatric treatment for children, adolescents and adults. The foundation of psychopharmacology and psychotherapy practices at Child and Adult Psychology Center of Los Angeles (CAPCLA) are rooted in the training from Johns Hopkins and academic practice of University of Washington.

CAPCLA PROCESS
Listening to your life story.
Whether suffering a first psychotic depression or self harm to soothe anxiety in autism, each person’s life story determines the alignment of their healing, therefore guides their individual treatment plan.
This is our path together.
CAPCLA PROCESS
Explaining your formulation, diagnosis and treatment.
Your life narrative directs the development of your formulation: your diagnosis and the way that you experience this diagnosis. Understanding your diagnosis is a dialogue that must feel right to you before discussion about your treatment. Upon understanding the formulation and diagnosis we will build a treatment plan.

Ongoing dialogue
for the right medicine choices and maintaining recovery.
Medication management and therapy are a part of this plan and there are always choices. Each person reacts differently to medications and holds the autonomy in finding the right treatment to maintain recovery.
