Adult Psychiatry

Personalized Adult Psychiatric Care in North County San Diego

At Seaside Psychiatry, we provide thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, insomnia, burnout, life transitions, and other mental health concerns.

Adult psychiatry at Seaside Psychiatry is led by Dr. Nadia Nassar Kuhn, M.D., a Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychiatrist who provides personalized psychiatric care for adults in Encinitas and throughout California via secure telehealth.

Our approach begins with understanding the whole person—not simply a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. We take the time to understand your history, circumstances, health, goals, and the factors that shape how you are feeling and functioning.

Whether you are seeking psychiatric care for the first time, looking for a fresh perspective on an existing treatment plan, or hoping to better manage the demands of work, family, and daily life, we provide discreet, personalized care with clinical expertise and genuine attention.

Initial psychiatric evaluations are 60–120 minutes, depending on your needs. You will see the same physician at every visit, allowing your psychiatrist to develop a deeper understanding of you and how your needs evolve over time. With your permission, we can also coordinate with therapists, primary care physicians, and other members of your healthcare team.
