Long-COVID Psychiatry Clinic Overview

Our goal is to provide psychiatric care to those who were diagnosed with COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) and continue to have lingering symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD,  and others (a.k.a. Long-haul Covid). The clinic provides diagnostic services that include neuropsychiatric evaluations, neuropsychological testing, brain neuroimaging, pharmacological and behavioral therapies, and supportive group therapy. 

The clinic optimizes well-being and quality of life by blending conventional Western medicine strategies with integrative medicine approaches to strengthen the natural healing capacities of the individual by promoting mind-body-spirit connections. Treatments are tailored to individual preferences with assessments and recommendations encompassing changes in nutrition, lifestyle choices, and use of supplements. These recommendations are based on the existing scientific evidence. Personalized assessments help track progress and provide measurable outcomes and results, thereby enabling patients to thrive and live healthier lives.

Co-Director: Robert Bilder, PhD

Robert Bilder is Tennenbaum Family Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, Chief of Psychology at UCLA Health and Director of the Center for the Biology of Creativity. He is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and directs the UCLA Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Neuropsychology. His research focuses on brain and behavior and aims to eliminate boundaries between mental health and illness, and between every day and exceptional creativity. His current grants examine reward mechanisms and have established a National Neuropsychology Network to gather “big data” about the brain. He recently completed the “Big C” project on exceptional creativity, and he now directs a National Endowment for the Arts Research Lab to measure impact of the arts on well-being.
