“After years of feeling like I was just getting a prescription refilled every few months, working with Dr. Scanlon actually got me somewhere. He mapped out a real plan and explained the reasoning behind every part of it, and I finally feel like someone is looking at the whole picture instead of just my symptoms.”

See How We Can Help You
ANXIETY & DEPRESSION CARE
Anxiety and depression rarely show up alone, and treating only the surface symptoms rarely gets to lasting relief. Dr. Scanlon builds a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan that looks at the full picture, medication, lifestyle, and the physical conditions that often travel alongside mood disorders, so you get a plan built for how you actually live. The goal isn't just symptom reduction, it's stability you can feel.
Chronic Pain Psychiatry
Chronic pain and mental health are deeply connected, and Dr. Scanlon works at the intersection of both. He is first author on published research in neuropathic pain, spine-mediated pain, and the neurophysiology of headache pain in depression, and he created the pain management rotation still taught at UC San Diego. That background shapes how he treats mood disorders alongside chronic pain, migraines, and thyroid and hormonal conditions, building treatment plans that address the whole picture.
Insomnia & Sleep Disorders
Poor sleep affects nearly every part of daily life, from mood to focus to physical health. Dr. Scanlon evaluates the underlying causes of insomnia, including anxiety, depression, circadian rhythms, and other medical factors, and then builds a treatment plan that addresses the root issue rather than masking it with a sedative alone.
ADHD & Focus
Whether you were diagnosed as a child or are noticing symptoms for the first time as an adult, ADHD deserves a careful, individualized evaluation, not a five-minute checklist. Dr. Scanlon takes the time to understand how your symptoms show up in daily life and builds a medication and lifestyle plan designed to help you focus, follow through, and feel more in control.
You're Not Alone in This
Reaching out is often the hardest step. Dr. Scanlon's practice is built around unhurried, judgment-free care, so you have a real partner in your corner from the very first phone call.
