Why families in Westwood choose Refine
A different kind of psychiatry — built on time, attention, and a whole-person view of care.
Holistic & Integrative Care
We look beyond the prescription pad — weighing sleep, nutrition, lifestyle, and therapy coordination as part of one connected plan built around your whole life.
Unhurried, Private-Pay Model
No insurance clock. Longer first evaluations and 30+ minute follow-ups, with superbills provided for out-of-network reimbursement — so your time with us is truly yours.
Children Through Adults, One Practice
Your whole family, cared for under one roof. Pediatric-trained and adult-experienced providers who coordinate care thoughtfully across every age and stage.
At Refine, care isn’t a menu of services — it’s a philosophy. We start by understanding the full picture of your life, then build a plan that treats the whole person, not just a diagnosis. Medication, when it’s the right tool, is paired with lifestyle guidance and close coordination with your therapist or pediatrician. It’s integrative, unhurried psychiatry that insurance-driven clinics can’t offer — and it’s why families across Southern California trust us with their care.

STUDENTS & CAMPUS LIFE
Mental health care for UCLA students
Westwood revolves around UCLA and its [46,000+] students. The pace is relentless — impacted classes, competitive pre-professional tracks, and a cost of living that adds its own pressure. UCLA CAPS is a strong first stop, but it's designed around short-term care and referrals for students who need ongoing therapy or medication. Refine Psychiatry picks up there: a private practice minutes from campus, with telehealth that follows students home for breaks, study abroad, and internships.
Common concerns we help students with
Anxiety, social anxiety, and performance pressure
Depression and burnout
ADHD — focus, executive function, and accommodations (UCLA's Center for Accessible Education)
Panic attacks and disrupted sleep
Adjustment, identity, and the transition into — and out of — college
Less common concerns worth a closer look
College age (roughly 18–24) is peak onset for several conditions that hide behind "just stress." We evaluate rather than assume:
First episodes of bipolar disorder or hypomania
OCD and intrusive thoughts
Disordered eating
Unusual thinking or early psychosis worth a careful look
Trauma, PTSD, and substance use
Every student gets an individualized care plan — therapy, medication management when appropriate, and coordination with UCLA's Center for Accessible Education — paced around classes and continued from anywhere by telehealth. Parents are welcome whenever a student wants them involved.
