An introduction from Dr. Gustaveson
I'm Dr. Gustaveson, a clinical psychologist in the San Diego area. I have been helping people manage through chronic pain, chronic illness, chemical dependency, OCD, insomnia, and other psychological challenges since 2017.
Some of the people I work with never imagined they would be working with a psychologist. They suffer from conditions like heart disease, cancer, Parkinson's disease, migraines, insomnia, and other chronic health conditions. What is often overlooked is that these individuals also suffer from depression, anxiety, and so many other psychological problems that emanate from, interact with, and even exacerbate these conditions. Often, they've told me they feel judged and sometimes hopeless when they are referred to a psychologist.
Other's have worked with psychologists in the past, and this is just one stop in their mental health journey.
I recognize it might be anxiety provoking, stressful, or even feel stigmatizing to seek out mental health treatment. We are here to help make that process easier. Please reach out to my office to schedule a phone consultation so we can see if Clinic Ovis is right for you.
