Lisa Linder

Lisa Linder at the Healthy Early Years (HEY) clinic specializes in therapeutic support for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and primary school-aged children experiencing mild to moderate distress. Using a relationship-based approach, the clinic focuses on strengthening early attachment and the vital connection between children and their caregivers to support healthy developmental trajectories.

The clinic provides targeted support for a wide range of neurodevelopmental and emotional needs, including Autism, ADHD, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and emotional regulation. Services are designed to help children navigate behavioral issues, school challenges, and peer relationships, while also assisting families through life transitions, divorce, and parenting stressors. Clinicians work with individuals, families, and groups to enhance social-emotional functioning.

As a counselor training facility operated by the Center for Excellence in Early Development (CEED) and San Diego State University, services are provided by advanced graduate student clinicians and associate clinicians under the direct supervision of licensed mental health professionals. Therapy is available both in-person and via telehealth, with individual sessions priced at $65. The clinic serves all community members regardless of immigration status and offers multilingual support in Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
