At San Diego Kids First, we believe that every child is unique and deserves an individualized approach to overcoming social, emotional, behavioral, developmental, or academic challenges. Instead of focusing solely on labels, we emphasize understanding each child's strengths and areas for growth. By working collaboratively with parents, schools, and other professionals, we gain a comprehensive understanding of the child or teen, allowing us to create effective, tailored strategies that foster real and lasting change. Our practice offers a wide range of services for children ages 0-5, school-aged children, and adolescents.

Dr. Max Doshay believes it is of utmost importance to treat all patients holistically and examine all levels of their functioning. Incorporating a variety of evidence-based assessment methods such as the WAIS IV, MMPI 3, WRAML 3, TAT, Vineland Adaptive Scales, and Bender Visual Spatial Gestalt Test (and more!), Dr. Max and his team can help tailor an individualized treatment plan through Neuropsychological Evaluations that meets the patient’s specific wants and needs instead of applying a “one size fits all” therapeutic technique used by many in the mental health industry.

Founded by Dr. Debra Halliday, The Halliday Center was created to offer something more than just clinical care. It’s a space built on mindful approaches to wellbeing, where people feel safe, seen, and supported as they move through life’s challenges.

We all have suffering in our lives-- it's part of human experience. Too often, however, there is a layer of unnecessary psychological pain caused by unconscious defenses. We often resist painful feelings and the realities they point to. When we get stuck in our resistance we get emotionally sick and our suffering increases. I work together with patients to honestly and compassionately untangle, face, and accept the truths they've tended avoid on their own.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and find more helpful ways of living. I offer a collaborative and client-centered approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs and cultural backgrounds to help attain the personal growth you're striving for. Your life experiences and history contribute to your individual uniqueness. Sometimes it's helpful if your therapist has a base knowledge of aspects of your culture so you don't have to explain everything. Between cultural elements of the LGBTQ community, to intersectionality experiences for persons of color, my background and training aid in this understanding.
