About

A nationally certified Cognitive Processing Therapy provider and veteran-owned practice, Listening Post Mental Health operates from the Grossmont Medical Arts Building in La Mesa near Sharp Grossmont Hospital. Board-certified psychiatric medication management and psychotherapy target PTSD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, with co-occurring trauma cases building complementary therapeutic layers through Healing Balance Therapy on the La Mesa counseling corridor. The clinical specialty centers on readjustment issues and combat-related PTSD among active-duty military, veterans, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and their families—a population segment with distinct trauma-exposure profiles. University of Cincinnati post-masters training in psychiatric-mental health nursing grounds the prescribing practice in evidence-based pharmacotherapy, pairing SSRIs, SNRIs, and atypical antipsychotics with structured psychotherapy rather than defaulting to medication-only models. Person-centered treatment plans integrate somatic awareness into the recovery framework, aligning with the body-based therapeutic modalities offered at Bodywork 4 Health for veterans managing chronic pain alongside PTSD symptomatology. The practice's highest-complexity cases involve multi-session CPT desensitization protocols for treatment-resistant PTSD, dual-diagnosis medication stabilization for co-occurring substance use disorders, and gender-affirming psychiatric care for LGBTQ+ patients navigating identity-related distress.
