About

Holding California psychology license PSY 29679, Voyage Clinical Psychology in La Mesa provides psychoanalytic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral interventions for adults navigating anxiety, depression, and cultural adjustment. The practice's doctoral-level CBT and DBT protocols address the psychological dimensions of chronic pain, a clinical overlap shared with somatic providers like La Mesa Spine Center on the musculoskeletal side. Post-graduate certification from the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center in 2018 adds depth-oriented analytical techniques to the treatment framework, equipping the practice for complex presentations involving perfectionism, attachment disruption, and identity-related distress. Training across three continents informs the practice's culturally sensitive methodology, particularly for clients navigating immigration-related stressors, racial identity concerns, and cross-cultural relationship dynamics. Individual and couples modalities draw on psychodynamic, person-centered, and dialectical frameworks to treat mood disorders and marital conflict, complementing the somatic pain-management protocols at California Pain Consultants for patients with co-occurring psychological and physical symptoms. The practice's highest-complexity cases involve structured psychoanalytic treatment plans integrating transference-based interpretation, attachment-focused repair, and real-time affective processing for patients presenting with personality-level psychopathology.
