As a women-owned practice specializing in mental health support for healthcare workers, Shari Mednitsky, Ph.D. (California license PSY13981) operates from Kettner Boulevard in downtown San Diego's Harborview district. The clinical model targets burnout, compassion fatigue, and occupational stress in physicians, nurses, and allied health providers, with musculoskeletal strain from shift work addressed through coordination with rehabilitation specialists including Bayside Spine & Sport. A doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University's California School of Professional Psychology included dissertation research on stress management in high-risk environments, and prior employment at Scripps Mercy San Diego, Scripps Mercy Chula Vista, Palomar Medical Center, and Sharp Mesa Vista Psychiatric Hospital provides firsthand understanding of hospital-system pressures. Therapeutic modalities span CBT, interpersonal therapy, EMDR, Neural Desensitization and Integration therapy, somatic approaches, and psychological testing, with active board service for I Care for Nurses, a nonprofit supporting healthcare community well-being. Behavioral activation protocols for providers experiencing depressive symptoms from occupational burnout incorporate prescribed physical activity through fitness partners such as Balanced Fitness & Health on the downtown corridor. Neuropsychological screening batteries assess cognitive fatigue, attentional deficits, and executive function impairment secondary to chronic occupational stress using standardized instruments including the CNS Vital Signs computerized testing platform.
