Silverlining Psychiatry Medical Group was established in the La Jolla area of San Diego as a group of like-minded physicians with skill sets unparalleled in their respective areas of practicing psychiatry. Our founding physician, Dr. Sivtsov, has been in the field of psychiatry since 1995. Over the years, Dr. Sivtsov has acquainted himself with a number of outstanding practitioners.
In addition to being stellar clinicians, all of our physicians have their own unique area of expertise in adolescence psychiatry, eating disorders, addictions, anxiety, mood disorders, and several other niches. The group promotes a holistic approach while its members share intimate knowledge of integrative medicine as well as the more traditional psychiatric treatments.

Services
Physicians at Silverlining Psychiatry provide Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation treatment for patients with depression and other emotional conditions. TMS is FDA approved and safe alternative to medications. Initial consultative visit should help to understand if TMS will work for you and your condition.
I appreciate Dr. Sivtsov's scientific approach to his field of medicine. Too often medication is dispensed with a "trial and error" approach. For the first time in over a decade, I feel that someone took the time to listen to the experience I was having on a specific medication. He immediately tested and found that my liver was processing that medication much faster than it should.

Dr. Sivtov is very thorough with a great attention for detail and advanced understanding of different medications and treatments. On top of that he is caring and kind, and you feel like he wants the best for you. I have been working with him for the last 4 years now and he's helped me make great strides in improving my quality of life. Not only that but his staff are great as well. I worked most often with Karla when I came in to do TMS and she is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met; which ultimately really makes a big difference when you are coming in to be treated for

First off, Dr. Sivtsov is a rare find, a doctor who works with you and listens with detail and compassion. I have seen a few psychiatrists over the years for depression and anxiety, but his knowledge and care shine through in a way that is beyond compare. But I can also credit him with saving my life, genuinely. In 2017 I had a significant depressive relapse and his office provides TMS, difficult to find and a genuine life-changer. He worked with my insurance to get it covered (not all docs are so willing), and while I was initially nervous, it was easy and comfortable and pulled me through and

Dealing with Mental Health issues during college was very troubling and difficult but Dr. Sivtsov and his team are amazing. I had awful experiences with my schools student health services and the doctors they recommended and I really felt like there was nothing that could help me. Luckily I was recommended to Dr. Sivstov. I honestly can say that I feel like a new person after working with him. He is a doctor that truly wants to help his patients as individuals and I can tell that he really works one on one with patients to develop a personal treatment and he was very responsive to making adjustments

Dr. Sivtsov is an outstanding and wonderful doctor. He is compassionate and he truly understands what his patient’s needs are. His number one focus and goal, is and has always been, improving his patients’ well-being. I have been under his care for the last 10 years and throughout the years he has helped me overcome every obstacle that has come my way. My life and mental health are both in such a better place since I started seeing him. He is very professional and knowledgeable, and from day one I felt like I was always in extremely capable hands. The staff within his practice are very kind

I've been Dr. Sivtsov's patient for about eight years after seeing several other doctors, so this review is based on a long-term relationship, with knowledge of how other psychiatrists practice, and from the perspective of being a clinical social worker myself.
Unlike most doctors I've worked with, either a professional or as a patient, Dr. Sivtsov typically takes the time to listen to how you are doing rather than by posing a list of short, rapid questions. Yes, busy days happen, but overall, I cannot stress the difference this makes in treatment.
I've also taken advantage of TMS to address

Dr. Sivtsov and his team are amazing. I started seeing Dr. Sivtsov in July of 2020 and he was able to recommend treatments that drastically improved my mood and sleep. His approach is very structured and wont overwhelm you with general treatments but focus on the treatments that focus on the improvements suited for you. He also recommended a great psychologist that was helpful in my recovery. In addition to this, I highly recommend his TMS treatment with Karla. At first it takes a while to get used to, but you can start feeling the improvements within a week. I was more energetic and started to

This is a progressive practice with compassionate patient care. Dr Sivtsov provides Integrative medicine with treatment options outside traditional prescription medication. Having lived and worked in many states and countries over the years and needed psychiatric care most of my life to manage a crippling anxiety and mood disorder, I’ve unfortunately had to find psychiatric help many times. By far, Dr. Sivtsov has helped me the most. He was the only Dr to do extensive testing and thoroughly review my case history resulting in properly diagnosing me. He even sent me to a second psychiatrist outside
