Modern Approach for New Behavioral Health Center
Los Angeles-based CNS offers unique, comprehensive whole-person care

West Los Angeles, CA – Psychiatric conditions can cause serious problems in multiple aspects of a person’s life. People in need of mental health care often find themselves seeking various forms of treatment from different specialists in order to fully address their needs and quality of life. Unfortunately, this often results in disconnected and fragmented care. The founding of a new behavioral health practice, CNS Integrated Behavioral Health & Medicine, in Los Angeles, CA, aims to solve this problem.

CNS is an advanced outpatient mental health practice that is based on an innovative model of healthcare: that the best care is provided not by one clinician, but by an integrated team of clinicians and specialists. The staff at CNS includes physicians, clinical psychologists, psychiatric nurses, pharmacists, interventionists, psychotherapists, educational therapists, vocational specialists and exercise physiologists. Executive Medical Director Michael Mamoun, M.D., says, “What’s happening at CNS is virtually unprecedented in private practice mental health settings. At the moment, nothing quite like this exists in Los Angeles.”  

“How many times have you wished that all of your doctors were actually talking to each other? What if you could get all of your doctors, your nurse, other specialists, even the radiologist, all to sit down at one table and talk with you? At CNS, that is precisely what we do” says Dr. Mamoun. “Based on our integrated model of care, CNS has been tremendously beneficial in improving our patients’ quality of life. Many of them are saying that they have never felt or functioned better.”    

Associate Director Pablo Noguera states, “Our specialists all communicate on a regular basis, are actively involved at the CNS Clinic as well as in the community, and actually sit down together to evaluate and provide feedback both as a clinical team and with the patient. We try to empower our patients to have a voice in their treatment as CNS is able to provide many different options to suit their functioning, needs, and lifestyle.”

CNS is based in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. More information can be found at www.cnsla.com or by contacting CNS at 310-440-9800.
