Deborah Edelman, DO

Dr. Earl De Guzman is a psychiatrist who values therapeutic partnership, working with patients to balance symptom relief with meaningful self-exploration. He earned his BS in Psychology from the University of California, Davis, and his MD from Ross University School of Medicine. He completed his psychiatry residency at Los Angeles County + University of Southern California Medical Center and a consultation-liaison psychiatry fellowship at Stanford University Medical Center. He is triple-board-certified in psychiatry, consultation-liaison psychiatry, and addiction medicine, and holds psychoanalytic psychotherapy training certification from the Psychoanalytic Center of California. Currently, he is a psychoanalyst-in-training at the New Center for Psychoanalysis. His expertise spans medication management, supportive therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.

Dr. De Guzman takes a collaborative, patient-centered approach, creating a warm and nonjudgmental environment. He listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions, and encourages honest exploration of symptoms and underlying patterns. He values authenticity, curiosity, and respect for each patient’s unique experiences. While symptom relief is important, his goal is to foster self-understanding and long-term growth. He works best with patients open to collaboration and motivated for change, whether through medication management, therapy, or both.

Dr. De Guzman begins with a consultation phase to ensure a good fit, listening carefully to understand each patient’s challenges and goals. Together, he and his patients build a working alliance by clarifying difficulties, identifying realistic changes, and exploring deeper patterns. When appropriate, he prescribes medication thoughtfully, aiming to support therapy rather than replace it. Each session integrates supportive and psychodynamic elements, combining medication review with therapeutic dialogue. Treatment plans are regularly revisited, allowing flexibility and growth, with the ultimate aim of empowering patients toward lasting change.

The visit will also focus on a psychiatric evaluation covering symptom details, psychiatric and other medical history, prior treatments, and how the current symptoms affect the person as a whole.‍
