Adult Psychiatry
East Bay Adult Psychiatry Services
The East Bay Psychiatry Adult Team is comprised of social workers, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, nurses and psychiatrists with diverse clinical knowledge who are dedicated to serving the general mental health needs of the adults in the community.
We provide an array of services including assessment, treatment planning, individual and group psychotherapy, crisis management, and clinical case management.
For life threatening emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
The approach to treatment:
- An appointment with a therapist/psychiatrist on the adult team is typically the first point of contact for adult patients.
- Patients can self-refer for an intake appointment, or can be referred by other providers in the medical center.
- All patients that meet medical necessity are provided with an intake appointment where they meet with one of our clinicians. During this appointment the clinician works collaboratively with the patient to determine a treatment plan that will effectively address the patient’s needs.
- Recommended treatment plans may include a combination of specialized group psychotherapy, individual psychotherapy, medication evaluation and management, Behavioral Health Education classes, referrals to specialized services within the department (e.g., intensive outpatient program, clinical case management, eating disorders or chemical dependency services), and/or community resources.
