California Psychology License PSY17446 and a 1998 doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology back the clinical practice of Eloise V. Foster, PhD, located at 3707 Third Avenue in the Bankers Hill area of Hillcrest. Her caseload concentrates on adolescents and their parents during the high-conflict middle and high school years, with referrals frequently coming from pediatric panels in the Hillcrest corridor including CPCMG Hillcrest. Foster works with individuals, couples, and families, and her treatment style pairs a direct, gently humorous voice with attention to how earlier relational patterns shape current stressors. Active NPI 1629224191 and Medicare enrollment make this one of the few psychodynamically-oriented Hillcrest practices that consistently accepts older patients on traditional fee-for-service insurance. Conjoint sessions involving parents, teens, and siblings sit at the center of much of the work, with case management routinely shared between this office and marriage and family therapists in the same neighborhood including Jodi Staszak, Marriage and Family Therapist. The most intensive work involves multi-year treatment of adolescents whose acting-out behaviors mask underlying mood disorders and family-of-origin trauma, where Foster coordinates simultaneous individual sessions, parent guidance meetings, and school consultation across an academic year.
