About

Terri Kisselovich has maintained an active clinical practice since 2005 through LifeStance Health's La Mesa office on Fletcher Parkway, holding a California LCSW with both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from San Diego State University. Her play-therapy training for pediatric populations coordinates with child-focused healthcare providers across the Grossmont area, including La Mesa Pediatric Dentistry for co-managed dental-anxiety desensitization in young patients. The biopsychosocial assessment model she applies examines interconnected biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors across conditions including OCD, psychosis-spectrum disorders, school avoidance, grief, and eating pathology for patients ages six through sixty-five-plus. Stress-related cervical and thoracic tension in adult anxiety patients generates cross-referrals to spinal-care providers in the Fletcher Hills corridor, including Essential | a chiropractic studio for postural correction and myofascial release. Advanced clinical protocols involve Exposure and Response Prevention sequences with hierarchical fear-ladder construction, in-session exposure trials, and between-session habituation tracking for treatment-resistant OCD and specific phobia presentations.
