Customized Mental Health Treatment for Women

Crownview Psychiatric Institute offers specialized, gender-responsive treatment for women diagnosed with complex mental health disorders in the San Diego area.

Unique Challenges, Unique Programming: Women’s Mental Health

At Crownview Psychiatric Institute, we understand the specific challenges women with mental health disorders face – and that in many cases, they’re different from those men face. We offer gender-responsive treatment and gender-separate housing because we know this fact:

Women develop mental health disorders for reasons specific to women and in ways unique to women, and they experience improved outcomes in gender-specific, gender responsive treatment programs.

Our clinical team collaborates with patients and families to determine their needs and create realistic, achievable short- and long-term treatment goals. We develop a personalized plan to meet goals and lay the foundation for long-term health and wellness.

Benefits of Gender-Responsive Treatment

Women and men often develop mental health disorders in different ways and for different reasons, and therefore may take different paths on the road to health and wellness. Therapeutic techniques that are effective for women may not be as effective for men, and vice-versa. We address these differences with gender-specific treatment plans designed for safety and comfort. In our women’s only groups and residential housing, women with complex mental health disorders can focus on recovery, free of distractions and issues that often arise in co-ed treatment programs.

Our clinical team has extensive experience in mental health issues that affect women. We design custom programs featuring the highest level of clinical care available, with comprehensive, wraparound support provided in a compassionate, restorative, and welcoming environment.

Your path forward starts today: restore hope, health, and wellness.
