About

Clinical neuropsychologist Baser Christine MD has practiced in Carlsbad since graduating in 1985, bringing over 40 years of diagnostic experience to her Palomar Airport Road office near the Omni La Costa corridor. Her neuropsychological evaluations integrate cognitive testing with neuroimaging coordination, a diagnostic workflow that frequently involves referrals for structural brain imaging at SimonMed Imaging to correlate functional deficits with anatomical findings. The practice operates under Southcoast Psychological Associates Inc., specializing in anxiety disorders, mood disorders in children and adults, depression during pregnancy and postpartum, and cognitive decline assessment. Family therapy, mental health assessment, and individual counseling round out the clinical menu, with telehealth availability extending access across San Diego County. Neuropsychological findings frequently inform treatment pathways that require neurological follow-up, a referral pattern maintained with The Neurology Center of Southern California for patients presenting with dementia-spectrum, TBI, or seizure-related cognitive changes. Full neuropsychological batteries assess domains spanning attention, executive function, memory, visuospatial processing, and language through standardized instruments including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV and the California Verbal Learning Test-II.
