Veteran Services

At La Jolla Psychology Center, we proudly offer comprehensive mental health services for active duty and retired military members and their families. For over ten years, our clinicians have provided care for a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and medication management. We work closely with both patients and their loved ones to deliver high-quality, long-term support.

Depression and anxiety can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Military families often face unique challenges, and finding appropriate mental health care can be difficult—both in San Diego and beyond. That’s why we’re committed to offering accessible, effective treatment tailored to the needs of service members and their families.

Whether coping with combat-related symptoms or long-term separations, we understand the toll military life can take. Our mission is to help individuals and their families find the right path to healing and support.
