About Dr. Brandon Lozano, PhD
Psychological services for adults in San Diego, with telehealth considered individually for adults physically located in California.
A Thoughtful Place to Begin
You may have read the books, tried strategies, or worked with a therapist before. You may also be seeking help for the first time. People arrive with different questions: persistent anxiety, relationship patterns, self-doubt, difficult early experiences, or uncertainty about ADHD or autism assessment.
Therapy can offer a collaborative setting to clarify what is happening now, consider what may be relevant from the past or present, and decide which approaches fit your goals. No single explanation, method, or outcome is assumed in advance.
Why Context Matters
Current symptoms can have many influences, including relationships, work, health, temperament, culture, stress, and earlier experiences. Making room for that context can help guide a more individualized therapy conversation.
For some adults, it is useful to understand how earlier relationships or responsibilities may relate to current patterns. For others, immediate goals and practical strategies are the priority. The focus is developed collaboratively and revisited as therapy progresses.
How I Work
I draw from several approaches based on your concerns, goals, preferences, and clinical needs:
Attachment-focused therapy
Exploring how early relationships may relate to present-day connection, trust, boundaries, and expectations.
Psychodynamic work
Considering the emotional and relational patterns that can feel automatic and how they may have developed.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Practical tools for the anxiety, self-criticism, and avoidance that show up day to day.
You do not need to arrive knowing which approach fits. A non-urgent consultation can help you ask general questions, and the treatment plan is developed collaboratively if services begin.
Professional Background
Dr. Brandon Lozano, PhD provides psychological services for adults in San Diego. The practice offers individual and group therapy as well as consultations about adult ADHD and autism assessment. Telehealth may be available to adults physically located in California when remote care is clinically appropriate.
Considering services
Questions are welcome before you decide
Choosing a psychologist can involve practical as well as personal questions. You may want to ask about the focus of the practice, current availability, in-person and telehealth formats, fees, possible reimbursement, or what an assessment consultation involves. A brief, non-urgent consultation is a place to ask general questions and decide whether it makes sense to discuss next steps.
A consultation is not therapy, a diagnostic appointment, emergency care, or a promise that services will be available. It does not establish a psychologist-patient relationship. If you are seeking immediate help or are concerned about safety, use emergency resources rather than waiting for a routine consultation.
This information is intended to support an informed, non-urgent decision about whether to explore a topic or contact the practice. It cannot account for your complete circumstances, replace a clinical conversation, or determine what service is appropriate for you.
You may take time to review the information, ask general questions, or decide that another resource or provider is a better fit. If you contact the practice, a message or consultation request does not establish a psychologist-patient relationship, confirm an appointment, or guarantee that services will be available.
Reviewing this page does not require any next step. No decision is required today.
What I Believe About Change
I believe difficult experiences can be explored without reducing a person to a diagnosis or a single chapter of their history.
I believe therapy can make room for both practical change and careful reflection on the context that may be shaping a current concern.
I also believe that each person should have meaningful choice in the pace, focus, and goals of therapy. Outcomes vary, and treatment decisions are made collaboratively.
