Licensed under California PSY 29910, Dr. Carlos Alarid, PsyD maintains a clinical psychology practice near Grossmont Center in La Mesa, treating trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse through both in-person and telehealth modalities. Doctoral dissertation research at Alliant International University's California School of Professional Psychology examined the psychological adjustment of professional boxers post-retirement, building a men's-health research emphasis that aligns with the gender-specific clinical focus at Auxo - Modern Men and Women's Health Clinic. A postdoctoral fellowship treating active-duty service members diagnosed with PTSD, depression, and substance abuse established the practice's trauma protocol, applying structured CBT and group-therapy modalities to both military and civilian populations. Concurrent clinical responsibilities at UC San Diego's primary care system position this practice at the intersection of behavioral health and integrated medicine, where psychological intervention coordinates directly with physician-led treatment plans. Spanish-language clinical capacity expands access for La Mesa's bilingual population, particularly for first-generation clients managing acculturation stress — a demographic also served by the multi-provider behavioral health model at LifeStance Therapists & Psychiatrists La Mesa. The practice's highest-acuity work involves forensic-level psychological evaluation and multi-session desensitization protocols for polytrauma presentations combining combat exposure, substance dependence, and chronic pain.
