About

Christina L. Neumeyer, LMFT in Carlsbad has provided psychotherapy services from her Jefferson Street practice since 2006, bringing over 30 years of clinical and social work experience to individual, couples, and multigenerational family treatment. Trained in Prolonged Exposure Therapy under Dr. Edna Foa in 2009, Neumeyer served as a research study therapist on a joint Department of Defense and UCSD grant examining telehealth delivery of PE and Cognitive Processing Therapy for veterans with PTSD, a background that connects her to the military-adjacent community at Carlsbad Village Senior Living in the aging-veteran population. She earned her Master's Degree from the University of San Diego in 1995 and served as adjunct professor in USD's Department of School, Family and Mental Health Professions in 2012. Clinical specialties include stress reduction, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, parenting, and relational satisfaction across young adults, seniors, and multigenerational family systems. Neumeyer's treatment planning coordinates with the urgent-care triage protocols at Scripps HealthExpress Carlsbad for clients presenting with acute psychiatric symptoms requiring medical clearance. The Prolonged Exposure protocol uses imaginal revisiting of index trauma memories at controlled emotional intensity, paired with in-vivo exposure hierarchies targeting trauma-related avoidance behaviors across 8 to 15 structured sessions.
