About

EMDRIA-certified EMDR clinician Dr. Marykay Fisher maintains a trauma-focused psychology practice in La Mesa Village at 8080 La Mesa Boulevard, applying the Adaptive Information Processing model to treat PTSD, grief, relationship disruption, and self-harming behavior. The practice's trauma-processing protocol begins with stabilization and resource-building before bilateral stimulation sessions, a phased approach that complements the primary care referral pathways from physicians like Rashid Paband Medical who screen for trauma-linked somatic symptoms. Dr. Fisher earned her Psy.D. from the Illinois School of Psychology in 1997 and completed a clinical residency at Allendale Association before obtaining California psychology license PSY25344. Reprocessing work for complex trauma cases often addresses chronic pain and muscular guarding patterns that overlap with the neuromusculoskeletal assessments provided by La Mesa Spine Center on the same La Mesa Boulevard corridor. Highest-complexity cases involve multi-session EMDR intensives targeting layered developmental trauma with concurrent dissociative features, requiring ego-state mapping and interweave protocols before standard desensitization and reprocessing can proceed.
