Alison Freedman, PsyD practices clinical psychology in Grantville from an office at 6160 Mission Gorge Rd, Suite 108, San Diego, CA 92120, on the commercial stretch of Mission Gorge Road that connects the I-8 freeway to Mission Trails Regional Park. The practice focuses on individual psychotherapy for adults, using evidence-based clinical psychology methods to treat anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and adjustment disorders. Stress-related somatic symptoms — including tension headaches, bruxism, and chronic neck and shoulder pain — frequently co-present with the anxiety and mood disorders in Dr. Freedman's caseload, and spinal assessment from Pittman Chiropractic in Grantville addresses the musculoskeletal component of those presentations. The Mission Gorge Road corridor anchors a cluster of healthcare offices in the 92120 ZIP, giving patients in Grantville, Allied Gardens, and San Carlos access to psychology, primary care, and specialty medicine without crossing into La Mesa or downtown San Diego. Diagnostic evaluation includes structured clinical interviews, standardized self-report inventories, and behavioral observation to establish baseline symptom severity before initiating a treatment protocol. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic approaches adapt to the patient's presenting concerns, with session frequency typically starting at weekly intervals and tapering as symptom reduction meets the goals defined in the treatment plan. Acute psychiatric presentations that exceed the outpatient scope — suicidal ideation with a plan, psychotic features, or medication-refractory symptoms — route to walk-in urgent care at Perlman Clinic Mission Gorge for same-day medical evaluation and safety planning. The office occupies a ground-floor suite with wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance, and its position on Mission Gorge Road provides direct trolley access via the Grantville station on the Green Line.
