Providing Psychiatric & Behavioral Healthcare

- In Poway -

It’s Time To Make A

Change

We are dedicated to our profession and to our clients’ mental health.

Welcome!

We are a collection of independent mental health care providers practicing in the same office in Poway, California. Dr. Hall, Dr. Takamura, and NP Ohn provide medication management and psycho-pharmacology with a wide range of specializations.

To our patients: Our office continues to monitor the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) in our community. Our providers offer both in-person and telemedicine appointments after an initial in-person appointment. If you have an in-person appointment and have recently been exposed to COVID-19, or are ill with a fever and cough, please call to convert to a telemedicine appointment. 

Telemedicine visits can be accessed via the following links:

These links are permanent and you do not require an invitation for each appointment. Please bookmark the waiting room URL for future appointments. Use a computer or device with a good internet connection (WiFi or 5G) and webcam. If you run into issues connecting, restart your computer or check out Doxy.me

Please note that “Psychiatric and Behavioral Healthcare” is a description of the services that are provided. Our providers are independent practitioners and are not part of a group practice.

We are proud to offer treatments for several common mental health issues:

Depression

Depression is a serious medical illness affecting more than 14 million American adults every year. Often a debilitating disorder, depression results in a persistent state of sadness or loss of interest or pleasure which interferes with an individual’s thoughts, behavior, mood, and physical health. 

Anxiety

Anxiety on its own is a common feeling of uneasiness, distress, or fear. We all experience anxiety at some point in our lives. If these feelings escalate to interfere with daily life, than, this may be a sign of an anxiety disorder. The term ‘anxiety disorder’ covers several specific disorders, each with their own signs and symptoms, though all are characterized by extreme fear.

Insomnia

Insomnia is often defined as the inability to fall asleep, or difficulty staying asleep. Insomnia can be a symptom of another disorder (secondary insomnia), a disorder of its own (primary insomnia), or be seen independent of another presented disorder (co-morbid). There are over 80 defined sleep disorders and insomnia is one of the most common. One in ten adults suffer from chronic insomnia, though children and adolescents can suffer from sleeping problems as well.

PTSD

Posttraumatic stress disorder is the onset of a specific set of symptoms in response to an extreme traumatic event in one’s life. It is gender-independent, affecting both men and women of all ages. The causes of post traumatic stress disorder, as well as the events leading to it, are just as varied. PTSD in children and adults can result from trauma during childhood, such as children in abusive homes.
