About Stella Mental Health San Diego

Stella Mental Health San Diego offers innovative biological interventions designed to treat the root causes of mental health challenges rather than simply managing symptoms. Their approach is based on the belief that conditions like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and even long COVID symptoms are not disorders to be endured, but injuries that can be healed. By addressing the underlying biological imbalances that drive these conditions, Stella helps patients find what many describe as “the missing piece” in their healing journey.
Stella's model combines advanced biological treatments with personalized support to promote meaningful, lasting recovery. Their primary interventions include dual sympathetic reset (DSR)/stellate ganglion block (SGB), Spravato® (esketamine), ketamine-assisted infusion therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, and medication management. They also offer sessions that help patients process insights, make meaning from their experiences, and develop action plans to sustain healing in daily life. Patients are encouraged to continue working with a trusted therapist or connect with other providers to build on their progress and strengthen long-term recovery.
The DSR treatment involves an injection next to a collection of nerves that regulate involuntary functions such as heart rate and blood pressure. The injection helps reset the flight-or-flight response and restore the nervous system to a balanced state. SGB has been approved by the FDA for pain management, but is used as an off-label procedure for alleviating mental health symptoms and is supported by medical research.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Stella Mental Health San Diego provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
