mental health Services: military members and family
At La Jolla Psychology Center, we provide comprehensive mental health services for active duty and retired military members and their families. With over ten years of experience, our clinicians treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and offer medication management. We work closely with patients and their families to deliver high-quality, long-term support tailored to their unique needs.
We understand that depression and anxiety can deeply affect daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Military families face distinct challenges, including combat-related stress and long separations, which can impact emotional health. Finding appropriate mental health care can be difficult both in San Diego and beyond, so we are committed to offering accessible and effective treatment.
Our goal is to help service members and their loved ones find the right path to healing, resilience, and improved quality of life through compassionate and personalized care.

It is often combined with medication for effective treatment.
Neuropsychological Evaluations
Neuropsychological evaluations assess an individual’s thinking, behavior, and emotional functioning through standardized tests. The results help guide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
