Neethu Jacob, PA

Neethu Jacob, a native of Detroit, joins our team with two years of experience as a Physician Assistant specializing in the field of psychiatry. Her interest in mental health grew from a very young age when she was introduced to the field by her mother, a renowned social worker. Upon graduating from PA school from Barry University, she moved to Chicago and gained proficiency working in community clinic, private practice, long-term care, and rehabilitation settings. Neethu has served a myriad of populations, ranging from children in the foster care system to adults with complicated mood disorders.

Neethu’s primary goal is to help her patients to feel at ease when discussing their mental health. She encourages her patients to understand that treating our brain is no different than treating high cholesterol or a broken bone. Neethu employs a more holistic approach with treatment, focusing on whole-body-wellness in tandem with mental well-being.

In her free time, Neethu loves exploring all that the beautiful city of San Diego has to offer. New to the area, she is thrilled to experience California with her husband, Kevin, and their adorable dog named Rylee. She also enjoys reading, live music, and trying out new and delicious restaurants
