Dr. Elsa Alanis is a bilingual clinical psychologist in Chula Vista who treats anxiety, depression, and trauma in English and Spanish from her Landis Avenue practice near the Third Avenue Village district. Her therapeutic framework integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy with EMDR and Brainspotting for trauma reprocessing, a multi-modal approach that coordinates with the medication-management track at KMG Psychiatry when pharmacological support is clinically indicated. Holding California license PSY12555 and a Ph.D. from United States International University earned in 1989, she brings over three decades of clinical training to adolescent, adult, and couples psychotherapy. Her holistic model treats the interconnected physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of each client's condition through somatic-regulation exercises, tapping protocols, and guided visualization techniques that align with the mind-body pathway explored at Chula Vista Yoga Center. Brainspotting sessions employ fixed-gaze positioning at specific visual-field coordinates to access subcortical trauma stored below the neocortex, targeting affective processing pathways that standard cognitive-behavioral protocols do not engage.
