ISO Excellent Child Psychiatrist Who Takes Insurance
I'd be grateful for any recommendations for a child psychiatrist with lots of experience with children with anxiety and depression, and who takes insurance (Anthem BlueCross a plus). Many thanks in advance.

Greetings Daisy, We have the same insurance and I found Pacific Coast Psychiatric Association (https://www.pcpasf.com/) to be an invaluable resource. They have five offices throughout the state and my daughter has had two outstanding psychiatrists from PCPA at the Walnut Creek office, both were women. My daughter’s first PCPA psychiatrist left the practice to pursue private practice but prior to leaving she selected a PCPA colleague to manage my daughter’s clinical depression. Local offices are in Walnut Creek and San Francisco. I struggled for a few years finding good doctors for my daughter. When I discovered PCPA I perused all doctors bios and found a very promising sounding psychiatrist that interviewed us parents (twice!) before seeing my child.
It’s a tough road navigating the mental health industry to find appropriate care for my depressed child. Best of luck to you seeking a good match for your child.
