“This office is exactly what I needed. Since moving to San Diego, I have been searching for a quality psychiatrist which is hard to come by. After trying a few different doctors, most of whom seemed like they would rather be elsewhere, I finally came across ClearInsight Psychiatry. Dr Li Lang and her staff have been a great help in my mental health treatment. Dr Li Lang is so straightforward and honest and I really appreciate that about her. The office staff is very helpful too! I’ve seen a few doctors who see patients in a private practice but don’t have office staff and it’s always a nightmare. I definitely don’t have that problem anymore. I just wish I found this practice sooner! Thank you for all your help!” – Devin Widmer

“She is an amazing Therapist, Psychiatrist and Pharmacologist.” – Benoit Velge
Insight Integrative Health
Jeremy Flagel, M.D., graduated from the Keck School of Medicine at USC after receiving his B.A. in Psychology from Cornell University.
After serving as Chief Resident in Psychiatry at the University of Washington, he began practicing in San Diego.
Over the years, he became dissatisfied with the medication management mill that insurance models and managed care dictated and sought out further training in Integrative Medicine. In 2011, he learned about Functional Medicine and began a new training path – eventually becoming a Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine (ABIHM), and then a Certified Practitioner with the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFMCP). He has been incorporating integrative and functional medicine principles into his practice for the past 4 years and opened his practice in San Diego in 2017. He attends numerous conferences each year to further his training and learn more in the integrative realm.

Before specializing in mental health, Dr. Lowe worked for years in cardiology and primary care. She was able to witness firsthand the powerful role emotional wellbeing can play on illness and pain.

She has extensive history working with the geriatric population as well as with patients with severe anxiety, depression and complex trauma. She has seen time and again how neurofeedback has helped patients transform their lives and alleviate their suffering and she is thrilled to offer neurofeedback to patients at True Life. From her years of experience as a medical and holistic provider, she knows that in order to have authentic healing from the inside out, both the body and the mind need to be treated and addressed on the journey to full health.
