About

Barbara Gloria-Escobedo Nunley practices as a licensed therapist at LifeStance Health's La Mesa clinic on Fletcher Parkway near Grossmont Center, serving adults and seniors with evidence-based psychotherapy. Nunley's clinical approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy techniques—a multi-modal framework that complements the neuropsychological assessment capabilities at Brain Learning Psychological Corporation in La Mesa. The practice specializes in perinatal and postpartum mood disorders, guiding new parents through symptom identification, coping-skill development, and confidence rebuilding during periods of hormonal and identity transition. Nunley maintains specialized training for first-responder populations, LGBTQ+ clients, and individuals connected to the adoption and foster-care system—communities that require clinicians fluent in the specific stressors of each population. Couples and family therapy sessions coordinate with medical social workers at facilities such as La Mesa Healthcare Center when treatment involves caregiver-burnout intervention or discharge-planning support for aging family members. The practice's couples-conflict protocol employs structured Gottman-informed assessment sequences to identify demand-withdraw communication cycles and rebuild secure-attachment patterns across relationship stages.
