Treatment Team

At Sovereign Health of Rancho San Diego, youths ages 12 to 17 receive treatment for mental disorders such as major depressive disorder, also commonly referred to as depression, and anxiety disorder in our Mental Health Program. Rancho San Diego’s treatment team consists of a number of medical and mental health care professionals who provide highly compassionate care, treatment, support and guidance to youths while they receive treatment for mental disorders.

Sovereign Health of Rancho San Diego’s multidisciplinary mental health treatment team consists of:

All aspects of an adolescent’s physical and mental health and well-being are taken into account during the admissions process and incorporated into each youth’s treatment program, as part of our holistic treatment approach. That is why the multidisciplinary treatment team at Rancho San Diego provides comprehensive medical, substance abuse, psychological and biopsychosocial evaluations as part of the admissions process.

Comprehensive assessments are conducted as part of the admissions process to gain a thorough understanding of the teen’s current situation, symptoms and co-occurring issues (e.g., sexual assault, parental divorce, sleep problems, self-harm, etc.), and to determine from what he or she will benefit most while in treatment.

Research suggests that adolescents receive the most benefit from treatment when they have individualized treatment programs. The clinical treatment professionals at Rancho San Diego not only utilize the comprehensive assessments during intake to diagnose the primary mental disorder and any comorbid medical conditions and/or substance use disorders, they also use them to tailor and individualize treatment according to that student’s particular needs.
