California-licensed clinical psychologist (PSY23820) Dr. Diane Lass founded the Center for Hope & Strength in 2011 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community partner with the San Diego Family Justice Center, where she serves as Administrator of Psychological Services. Her domestic-violence specialization includes roughly 7,000 risk assessments using Dr. Jacqueline Campbell’s Danger Assessment Instrument, a forensic-interview volume that informs the trauma-recovery programming also offered by Transitions Counseling in OB. Expert-witness testimony spans the San Diego County Counsel, District Attorney’s Office, City Attorney’s Office, Maricopa County Homicide Division, and the United States Navy. APA and National Coalition Against Domestic Violence memberships support ongoing clinical research, and her Newport Ave suite sits within the same 92107 referral network as complementary practitioners at Peak Performance Holistic Therapies who address the somatic dimensions of post-trauma recovery. High-lethality intimate-partner-violence cases requiring coordinated safety planning across law enforcement, legal advocacy, and clinical intervention define the most complex work the practice undertakes.
