Hi there, I'm Dr. Bryan Balvaneda, PhD, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in San Diego, California. I consider myself a guide - I help you head toward your goals in a healthy and meaningful manner, whether these goals are about relieving stress, a mental health issue, or pursuing personal growth. I enjoy working with people across the spectrum of adulthood. I have the most experience working with students in university settings and navigating high-stress environments.
My approach can be broadly summarized as changing the way we relate to our experiences and identifying pathways for engaging in meaningful actions to move toward healing and personal goals. I draw primarily from Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness-based, and Feminist-Multicultural therapies.
Through these approaches, I aim to help you understand your experiences, how and why they emerge in the context of your personal experiences, culture, and identity, and identify ways to help you work through them.
Take the first step to help. Call or Email Bryan Balvaneda now - (714) 844-8895
