The Parkinson\u2019s Association of San Diego will open offices in the Ximed Building at 9850 Genesee Ave. suite 740, in La Jolla, offering the association\u2019s noted service program.
\n“With the opening of this office, we will be able to broaden our reach to people who have Parkinson\u2019s,” executive director Jerry Henberger said, “and they will have a convenient access to the association\u2019s Minds and Motion program, close to where they see their primary physicians.”
\nClinical psychologist Arika Johnson will be seeing patients.
\nJohnson said adjustment and difficulty accompany a diagnosis like Parkinson\u2019s; almost always, patients and families don\u2019t know what it\u2019s going to look like in the future.
\n“At any point, whether from the first diagnosis or 15 years later, most people will struggle with stress, feeling worried and anxious about the condition,” Johnson said. “Usually, medical doctors are quite good at trying to manage the physical symptoms, but progressively, there\u2019s a huge need to address the nonmotor, nonphysical symptoms. That\u2019s what we do.”
\nThe association provides therapeutic support groups, one-on-one counseling and family counseling to people who have Parkinson\u2019s disease, members of their families, caretakers, and others who may be experiencing stress, depression and anxiety associated with the condition of Parkinson\u2019s, as well as others with movement disorders.
\nThe association accepts insurances including Medicare and Medi-Cal. It also offers private-pay and sliding-scale rates for those with no insurance.
