Hello. I am Dr. Alan Acre, clinical psychologist and the clinical director of a trauma clinic in San Diego for the past four years. If you’re looking for quality private counseling sessions with providers who care, then you’ve come to the right place. I can help you conquer difficulties by using evidenced based treatments that will allow you to engage life with a peaceful mind, a healthy view, and joy. Learn how to stop white knuckling life’s problems as you begin to feel proud of the new techniques you will use to engage family, friends, co-workers, and the world. Call me anytime for a free consult or therapist matching service.
I specialize in trauma/PTSD, substance use, military, LEOs, self-defeating behaviors, anger mastery, family of origin issues, marriage/couples counseling, emotional stability, family counseling, parenting, rebuilding healthy relationships and behaviors. I am well trained in trauma therapies highly recommended for treating PTSD, including CPT, PE, EMDR, etc.
Whether you are looking for intensive treatment or personal growth, most clients discover their ability to reach far beyond the basic skills necessary to achieve their initial goals. There can be a lot of joy in understanding ourselves and growing into the person that we can be proud of. The journey is judgement free and at any pace that we need to take it.
