About Us
A Pasadena outpatient clinic focused on thoughtful, evidence-based depression care
Who we are
Pasadena Clinical Group, known on this site as PCG Health, is an outpatient mental health clinic serving Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles area. For more than 10 years, the clinic has helped adults move through depression, anxiety, trauma responses, relationship stress, and life transitions with treatment plans that are both evidence-based and humane.
Mission
Our mission is to make high-quality mental health care feel accessible, grounded, and useful for adults living with depression. We believe treatment should reduce shame, increase clarity, and support change at a pace that respects the person, not just the diagnosis.
Values
- Evidence-based care guided by current clinical standards
- Trauma-informed language and pacing
- Inclusive, respectful treatment for diverse communities
- Insurance-friendly access and clear communication
How we approach depression treatment
PCG Health uses an eclectic but evidence-based approach. Depending on your needs, care may draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral activation, acceptance and commitment therapy, interpersonal work, psychodynamic exploration, mindfulness-based strategies, motivational interviewing, and family-informed support. For some adults, coordination with psychiatry is also an important part of care.
The point is not to force everyone into the same model. The point is to build a treatment plan that fits the actual problems showing up in daily life, whether that is shutdown, hopelessness, burnout, grief, irritability, relationship stress, or difficulty functioning at work.
