Jamie Picker, LCSW
My clinical experience is very varied with 30+ years with mostly San Diego County Behavioral Health Services where I was Program Manager for an emergency psychiatric service for children and adolescents. I have also worked in private practice for over 20 years part-time. I have trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy, and have experience using many techniques such as CBT, exposure therapy, reality therapy, meditation/mindfulness to name a few.
I am happy to work with all ages, individuals, couples and families
