Lynn Northrop

My clients describe me as:

Warm, empowering, wise, kind, skillful, patient, compassionate, reliable

Something to know about my approach is:

I've been a psychologist for 20+ years. Prior to 2023, I worked in hospitals - providing care & training hundreds of young professionals to do the same. I am proud to report that the folks I trained are my biggest referral source. They trust me.

Together, we will:

Help you live your one precious life with purpose and meaning, even when you are faced with big stressors, losses and pain (physical and emotional).

I specialize in working with people who:

Need an experienced, compassionate clinician to help them get unstuck. Anxiety, depression, loss, pain, stress, agism, injustice, illness - these things can narrow our lives. I am deeply trained in evidence based practices that help people thrive.

I became a therapist because:

There's no better way to join science, creativity, & my deep love for humans & the human condition. After 20 years in practice, I still love this work

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I work out of a little craftsman house in San Diego, 1 day per week. Otherwise, I am at home or traveling, doing telehealth in CA and FL. Join me!

More about me and my practice:

A former client, whose parents died in Auschwitz, gave me a copy of Victor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning." In it she wrote, "Dr. Lynn - The meaning of your life is helping others find the meaning in theirs." I am deeply honored to do this work.
