Triple board-certified psychiatrist Kristy Lamb, MD in Encinitas founded BOLD Health at 561 Saxony Place, holding certifications from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in both psychiatry and addiction medicine, plus family medicine board certification. She completed her medical degree at Georgetown University in 2008 and a combined psychiatry and family medicine residency at UC San Diego Medical Center, followed by a community psychiatry fellowship and psychodynamic psychotherapy training at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, equipping a whole-person diagnostic lens that coordinates with the somatization-focused rehabilitation at Centerstone Physical Therapy. ISTDP core training under both Patricia Coughlin and Jon Frederickson positions Dr. Lamb among a select group of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy practitioners in Southern California. Her undergraduate neuroscience degree from Vanderbilt University and master's in philosophy and social theory from the University of Colorado inform an integrative framework spanning psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, addiction treatment, maternal mental health, and physician wellness. Somatic regulation techniques complement her psychotherapy protocols, and practitioner-assisted stretching at Stretch Zone addresses the chronic muscular bracing patterns that characterize somatoform presentations in her patient population. Published research on buprenorphine maintenance, oxytocin's role in attachment, and the bereavement exclusion in major depression diagnosis reflects her clinical emphasis on bridging pharmacological and psychodynamic treatment modalities.
