Welcome to San Diego Anxiety and OCD Center. I am so glad you are here. My name is Dr. Diana Robbins and I am a California-licensed clinical psychologist who is passionate about working with people of all ages to help improve their lives.

San Diego Anxiety and OCD Center offers therapy services for children, teens, and adults. At San Diego Anxiety and OCD Center, high-quality evidence-based cognitive behavioral treatment is provided both in-person and conveniently via video (telepsychology). I provide therapy for:

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

• Anxiety (generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, separation anxiety)

• Phobias (insects/animals, natural disasters, blood/injection, emetophobia, heights)

• Tourette Syndrome and other tic disorders

• Trichotillomania (hair-pulling), excoriation (skin-picking), nail biting, thumb sucking and other body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs)

• Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)

• Misophonia (a neurobehavioral phenomenon characterized by a strong reaction of anger, disgust, and/or a “fight-or-flight” response to specific sounds)

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Behavioral problems

Specialty services include:

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

• Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), a first-line treatment for Tourette Syndrome and other tic disorders

• Supportive Parenting For Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), a parent-based treatment program for children and teens with anxiety, OCD, and related problems.

• Consultation to mental health professionals

• In-person psychological and neurodevelopmental assessments for children to evaluate concerns related to ADHD, mood disorders, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Taking the step to start therapy isn't always easy. The idea of opening up to someone unfamiliar to you to discuss some of your most difficult experiences can feel scary and uncomfortable. Your reaching out for help is brave and admirable.

My priority is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and accepted just as you are. Building a trusting relationship takes time, and I strive to provide a warm, compassionate environment where you can feel safe sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

We'll work together at a pace that feels right for you, celebrating progress along the way and navigating life's challenges as a team. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel understood, empowered, and supported as you move toward living a life you love.
