PSYPACT-certified and licensed in California, New York, and Washington, D.C., Dr. Margaret Sawires, PsyD founded Urban Psych in 2018 in downtown San Diego's East Village, across from Petco Park in the historic TR Office Building on Ninth Avenue. Her women-owned, LGBTQ+-affirming practice offers psychoanalytic psychotherapy informed by post-doctoral training at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center, and she provides expert consultation in custody and co-parenting cases that intersect with family law practices like A All Military Personnel and Dependents Divorce and Family Law in Bankers Hill. Dr. Sawires earned her PsyD in clinical psychology from Alliant International University in 2012 and holds California license PSY 26208. Urban Psych employs exclusively doctoral-level clinicians, including associate psychologists completing supervised clinical hours toward independent licensure. The practice's somatic-awareness component for trauma and eating disorder patients parallels bodywork modalities at Blossom Thai Massage and Spa in the Gaslamp Quarter. Advanced clinical protocols include psychodynamic formulation using object-relations and attachment-theory frameworks for complex personality disorder presentations requiring long-term, twice-weekly treatment structures.
