Hi, I'm Dr Maggie Grossman. I love music, comedy, ice cream, and people. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley but now live in San Diego with my husband and two very energetic little boys. We love hanging out together outside whether it be hiking, the beach, or live music and are always looking for new foods to try.

My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree from the California School of Professional Psychology in Fresno, California. I attended the program from September 2012 to July 2017.
My goals for you
My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive space to explore your challenges and work towards positive change and personal growth. I aim to empower you with coping skills and insights to navigate life's difficulties and achieve your full potential.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and collaborate to establish your treatment goals. I will learn about your background, current struggles, and hopes for the future. We will also review policies and procedures. Most importantly, we will begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for our work together. I encourage you to ask any questions you may have as we embark on this healing journey.
