Meet Your Medical Director
Katie Hirst, MD
A native Californian, Dr. Hirst grew up in the Bay Area before attending Stanford University for her dual undergraduate degree. After graduation, Dr. Hirst completed a dual residency in Family Medicine and Psychiatry at UC San Diego — and founded the UCSD Maternal Mental Health Clinic during her third year of training.

Dr. Hirst soon became a regional expert in the field of Reproductive Psychiatry. While serving on faculty in three departments at UCSD School of Medicine, Dr. Hirst developed the first Maternal Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program in the Southwest United States.

Dr. Hirst developed an opioid addiction following the births of her daughters via C-section in 2008 and 2011, and left academic medicine to seek treatment.

Dr. Hirst is board-certified in Family Medicine and Psychiatry, and is able to provide a unique level of care that encompasses the whole patient as a result of this dual training and expertise.

Dr. Hirst balances her rewarding work with personal time devoted to recovery, family and friends. She and her family are avid explorers of National Parks, and she is an enthusiastic indoor cyclist and runner.

I had the privilege of working for Mark and Amy during the summer. I’ll never forget their kindness and compassion for myself and their clients. They have top notch sober living homes and treatment centers.

I was a house manager and treatment tech and I learned so much from them 😃 They provide excellent therapists and Drs as well as yoga and reiki instructors and an acupuncturist. I’m grateful for the time I got to work for them and I wish all blessings and happiness for them both 🙏😃

If you're looking for a place that truly cares about every person who walks through in, then you have definitely found it! 

Not only have they changed my life for the better, they helped me through  extensive legal issues while never  judging me. I truly love Present Moments recovery from the bottom of my heart. I owe them my life. 

I came here broken, and they helped me find myself. I have learned the coping skills nessary to stay clean and to move on with my life.

This is a one of a kind treatment center that is operated by true professionals. I have seen first hand the care with which each individual is treated at this North County San Diego treatment facility. The facility is in a beautiful upscale location and is well maintained and operated with care.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mark and his team on several occasions and have been impressed by their commitment to inspiring quality recovery in those who are in need of help. I have great trust and confidence that they will take excellent care of you or your loved one in your time of need.

For now, as I’m still a client in Mark, Amy and their team’s care, I can honestly say I could not have have found a better group to guide me through perhaps the most difficult period in my adult life. From the beginning to today, 8 months and 3 levels of care later, it has been what I needed, when I needed it.

That hasn’t always been easy to say or accept in many of the challenging moments of honest self-searching, but looking back, it’s the truth. Things do often happen for a reason, and I couldn’t be more grateful that some thing or some one far bigger than me, found a reason for me to here.
