I'm Dr. Brandon Lozano, a licensed clinical psychologist. I specialize in helping adults whose anxiety and relationship struggles trace back to childhood, including emotional neglect, parentification, and growing up with a parent's mental illness. My work draws on attachment-focused, psychodynamic, and CBT approaches. I see clients in person in Mission Valley and by telehealth throughout California.
I believe therapy works best as a partnership. Many of the struggles that bring adults to therapy, such as anxiety, people-pleasing, burnout, and painful relationship patterns, make more sense once we understand where they began. Together, we'll explore how your early experiences shape how you think, feel, and connect with others today.
I integrate three approaches. Attachment-focused therapy helps us see how your earliest relationships influence your current ones. Psychodynamic work brings unspoken patterns and feelings into view so they lose their hold. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) gives you practical tools to manage anxiety and respond differently in the moment.
The result is a balance of insight and action. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you, and I'll tailor our work to your goals instead of fitting you into a single method.
Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. I'll ask what brings you in, what's been happening recently, and a bit about your background, including family and relationships. Share as much or as little as feels comfortable.
By the end, we'll have a shared sense of your goals, whether we're a good fit, and clear next steps. Most importantly, I want you to leave feeling heard. We can meet in person in Mission Valley or by telehealth anywhere in California.
