Persson Psychology on University Avenue in La Mesa is led by Kristin M. Persson, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist holding California license PSY23525 and certification in clinical hypnosis from the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis. The practice's trauma-focused modalities including EMDR and clinical hypnosis often run parallel to nervous-system regulation work at San Diego Chiropractic Doctors, where spinal adjustment addresses the chronic tension patterns that amplify post-traumatic hyperarousal in therapy patients. Persson earned her Psy.D. from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University and completed a certificate program at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, with forensic training at RJ Donovan Correctional Facility spanning the outpatient program, Administrative Segregation Unit, and mental health crisis unit. Art therapy and play therapy extend the practice's reach to patients as young as eight, while the holistic treatment model aligns with the complementary care approach at San Diego Center for Integrative Medicine for patients combining psychotherapy with integrative medical protocols. Highest-complexity interventions involve phased EMDR trauma reprocessing for domestic violence survivors presenting with compound PTSD, dissociative features, and co-occurring substance dependence requiring stabilization before bilateral stimulation protocols can proceed.
