Dr Michelle Lalouche-Kadden

Clinical Psychologist

I am an experienced Psychologist and Psychoanalyst. I work to provide a relational psychotherapeutic experience. Call my office if you want a caring, insight oriented, relational therapy experience. Therapy is tailored to meet your specific needs within the therapeutic dyad.

About Me

I offer a deeply relational psychotherapeutic experience, designed for those seeking genuine insight and understanding. We will explore your unique needs together, carefully tailoring our work within the caring, collaborative space we build. This approach helps you gain clarity, make sense of complex feelings, and find new ways forward. Clients valuing a personalised, in-depth journey will find a supportive environment to foster lasting change.

Approach

My work leans into a careful, relational pace that helps you notice repeated patterns in relationships and in your body’s responses. I meet with individuals in San Diego and online in English, offering a steady weekly space where observations, dreams, and small experiments can be explored between sessions when helpful. Sessions combine attentive listening with gentle interpretation—tracking emotional rhythms, linking past experience to present struggles such as anxiety, mood shifts, body image or chronic illness, and trying new ways of relating. Those seeking thoughtful, depth-oriented collaboration often find this approach useful.
