Your care should reflect your goals, values, and life—not just a list of symptoms.

Psychiatric Care Designed Around the Whole Person
Care begins with a thoughtful understanding of your concerns, medical history, life context, and goals. Treatment is individualized and may include medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle strategies, or a combination of approaches.
Philosophy & Approach
Mental health is shaped by more than symptoms alone. Dr. Purganan considers biological, medical, cognitive, emotional, relational, and lived-experience factors while helping each patient understand their options and take an active role in care.
Whole-Person Care
Treatment considers mental health alongside physical health, medical conditions, relationships, identity, values, and daily life.
Thoughtful Evaluation
Care starts with careful listening and a detailed understanding of the full context behind each patient’s concerns.
Evidence-Based, Individualized Treatment
Recommendations are grounded in evidence and tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Collaborative Decisions
Treatment options are discussed openly so medical expertise, patient preferences, and personal goals can guide the plan together.
Long-Term Brain Health
Care aims not only to relieve symptoms, but also to support stability, resilience, cognitive health, and long-term wellness.
Psychiatric Care Across California
Dr. Purganan provides telehealth care to eligible adults throughout California and also offers in-home psychiatric visits in California. Home-visit availability depends on the patient’s location, clinical appropriateness, and scheduling.
Flexible Care Options
Care is available through secure telehealth visits throughout California. For patients who may benefit from care at home, in-home psychiatric visits are also available in select California areas, subject to location, clinical appropriateness, and scheduling.
