Katalin Reszegi, PhD, LP, Psychologist in Encinitas, California

Katalin Reszegi, PhD, helps adults, older adults, and seniors throughout California navigate life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and evidence-based care. As a psychologist at LifeStance Health, she works collaboratively with patients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and major life transitions, creating a supportive environment where they can better understand themselves, develop resilience, and move toward meaningful change. She provides individual therapy and psychological testing services, tailoring treatment to each person’s unique goals and circumstances. She is passionate about helping people find renewed meaning and balance during times of personal transformation. Dr. Reszegi also has experience helping adults facing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), grief, gender identity concerns, pain management challenges, and other mental health needs. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in respect, curiosity, and partnership, empowering patients to build on their strengths while developing practical tools for daily life. Her treatment style draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure Therapy, while incorporating additional evidence-based interventions when appropriate. She understands that no two people have the same story and believes effective therapy begins with a genuine understanding of each patient’s experiences, values, and goals. Dr. Reszegi is also able to provide services in Hungarian. Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Reszegi enjoys gardening, a hobby that reflects her appreciation for patience, growth, and the importance of nurturing well-being over time.
