Wayne A Bardwell, PHD

Specialties

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California San Diego. I am also Past President and Fellow of the American Psychosocial Oncology Society and a member of the American Psychological Association. I believe the basis of a successful psychotherapy experience is a warm, empathic and non-​judgmental connection where clients feel understood, supported and accepted. My clinical work focuses on helping people with depression or anxiety issues, chronic or life-​threatening illness, & chronic pain. In addition, I enjoy working with older adolescents and young adults who have been frustrated in trying to capitalize on their strengths & achieve their personal & professional goals. Our work may involve issues related to mood, behaviors, education/​career, stage-​of-​life transitions, relationships, & sexuality or sexual orientation.
