Psychologist Mehlhop Sondra J operates from Spring Street in La Mesa Village, providing psychotherapy and psychological assessment from the 4215 Spring Street medical building. Her practice shares clinical infrastructure with the multi-provider counseling group at that address, forming a behavioral-health hub that includes peers like Erica Assenti, Counselor in the same La Mesa provider corridor. Mehlhop holds a PhD in psychology and maintains California licensure, treating depression, anxiety, stress-related disorders, and relational conflict through individualized psychotherapy protocols. Her assessment-driven approach identifies cognitive and emotional patterns that often co-present with the musculoskeletal stress complaints treated at La Mesa Spine Center for patients whose psychological distress produces chronic tension and postural dysfunction. Highest-complexity engagements involve comprehensive psychological-testing batteries combining MMPI-2-RF personality inventories, Beck Depression and Anxiety scales, and structured clinical interviews for differential diagnosis of overlapping mood and personality disorders.
