Lisa A. Auslander, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist
La Jolla, CA
San Diego, 92037
Throughout our lives we all experience times when we feel alone and stuck. Working with an experienced caring professional who will actively listen and understand in a safe, private setting can help us achieve a greater sense of personal satisfaction in ourselves and in our relationships.
My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative. I believe growth comes from enhancing our understanding of ourselves and learning to make choices that can lead us to greater freedom and lasting positive change. Removing symptoms, changing self-defeating patterns, improving self-esteem, working with our strengths, and developing healthy relationships are each a part of this meaningful process.
Areas of Specialty include:
• Self-Esteem
• Depression
• General and Social Anxiety, OCD, and Panic Attacks
• Eating Disorders and Body Image
• Relationships and Intimacy
