Trauma therapy that moves through, not around.
Doctoral-level (PhD/PsyD) psychologists treating trauma & ptsd for people
in San Diego and across Southern California — online, in-network, and usually with no waitlist. From North County to the South Bay, sessions happen from wherever you are — no drive across the county to a waiting room.
The thing that happened isn't in the past the way it should be — it's in your sleep, your startle, the situations you quietly avoid. Trauma isn't weakness and it isn't permanent. It's a nervous system stuck in a loop that the right treatment can close.
Trauma & PTSD therapy, explained.
Trauma keeps the body braced for a danger that's already over. Our psychologists use the treatments with the strongest evidence for PTSD: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to work through the beliefs the trauma left behind, and Prolonged Exposure (PE) to take the charge out of the memory so it stops running your day. You set the pace. We work in a way that respects your nervous system — the goal is to feel more in control, not to relive the worst day of your life on command.
Trauma & PTSD therapy in San Diego.
San Diego holds a large military and veteran community, a cross-border culture, and the particular strain of an expensive coastal city that looks relaxed from the outside.
Care is uneven across a county this large. Telehealth closes the gap between a booked-solid practice in La Jolla and someone still waiting for a call back in the South Bay. Every one of our
psychologists is licensed in California and sees clients across San Diego County — North County, the South Bay, La Jolla, Chula Vista, and the neighborhoods between the coast and El Cajon —
by secure video. Where you are in San Diego decides the view out your window during session, not whether
you can get trauma & ptsd care.
What trauma & ptsd therapy here looks like.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) — evidence-based, structured, and time-limited
- Prolonged Exposure when appropriate, always at a pace you control
- A trauma-informed clinician who treats your context as central, not background
Who you’d work with.
