ASKINS PSYCHIATRYWelcome to Askins Psychiatry, a medical group providing psychiatric and psychological care. Located in Pasadena, CA, Askins Psychiatry is led by the renowned Harvard-educated psychiatrist, Howard Askins, M.D., J.D. Commissioner of the Los Angeles County Mental Health Commission since 1996, Dr. Askins has been in practice for over 15 years as an accomplished physician, forensic psychiatry expert and community leader. His practice is office-based though he does offer a full spectrum of psychiatric and psychological services, including treatment in the psychiatric hospital.
Dr. Askins treats patients of all ages, from adolescents (ages 12-17), to adult men or women (ages 18-100+). Some may have mild mental health conditions that Dr. Askins can treat in his office while others may be severely mentally ill and/or chemically dependent and need to be treated in a psychiatric hospital. Dr. Askins and his medical group treat patients with conditions such as: bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, eating disorders, attention deficit disorder (ADHD) and brain trauma and/or injury. Services include everything from full psychiatric assessments for new patients to psychotherapy to long-term medication management for ongoing treatment. While Dr. Askins enjoys caring for his patients in his office, he is also the Chief of Staff at a leading psychiatric hospital in the Los Angeles area: Charter Oak Psychiatric Hospital in Covina, CA. Oftentimes a patient will need stabilization or a higher level of care than can be provided in an office setting. Dr. Askins can provide and direct inpatient treatment – as well as partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment – so that patients receive a continuum of care both in and out of the hospital. This is a comfort to many of his patients as it offers a cohesive and seamless transition from the psychiatric hospital to outpatient office care under the skilled supervision of Dr. Askins. |
