Staffed by Dr. Rafael M. Reyes and Dr. Alessandra Wall, we are a full service psychotherapy practice. We provide individual, family and group psychotherapy (for children, adolescents and adults, including couples). PsychSanDiego is also proud to offer specialty seminars and workshops on a regular basis.

At PsychSanDiego we believe in teaching people how to implement new strategies in their daily lives to help them achieve full potential. We teach our clients how to identify and change distorted thought patterns so they can attain more positive and balanced moods. We approach much of our work using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model. We understand, however, that every person is unique, and we maintain an eclectic treatment approach to provide individualized treatment plans for each person.

We strive to provide assessment and treatment for our clients in an ethical and professional manner. We understand the difficulties people face when confronted with problems in their lives.  Choosing the right therapist can be an intimidating process. We have created a nurturing and supportive environment where clients can feel safe, build their coping skills, and learn to lead more positive and productive lives.

Dr. Wall is a licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of PsychSanDiego. She specializes in treating anxiety disorders, depression and bipolar disorder, eating disorders and childhood behavioral problems.

Dr. Wall works with each of her patient to help them understand why they experience negative thoughts and feelings, and teach them effective methods to create lasting change. Through the most appropriate combination of individual and/or group psychotherapy, seminars and workshops, she helps individuals restore balance and regain control in their daily lives.

Dr. Wall obtained her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, in Dallas, Texas. She has worked in a variety of settings including the Dallas’ Juvenile Detention Center, the psychiatric emergency room, outpatient psychiatric clinic, and chronic pain management program at Dallas’ Parkland Hospital, and the day treatment program and intensive outpatient eating disorder program at Dallas’ Childrens Hospital.

Dr. Wall moved to San Diego in 2004 to work for Psychiatric Centers at San Diego (PCSD) where she conducted individual and group psychotherapy, as well as parenting and psychological testing at their Child and Adolescent Center.
