Jesse Zlotnik, Psy.D.

Ca. Lic. PSY22204

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a bachelor’s degree from UCLA and a doctorate from The California School of Professional Psychology . My doctoral research investigated mediation with high conflict couples in child custody disputes. 

My training and experience includes individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, and forensic assessment in criminal and family law. I have been a clinical supervisor for psychology interns, MFT trainees, and social work interns from San Diego area colleges and universities. Over the past 20 years, I have worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient health centers, schools, hospitals and correctional institutions.  

My private practice is where I build connections with individuals and couples who are experiencing life’s inherent challenges, helping them recover their feelings of adequacy, strength and love. As a husband and father, I understand that life transitions may bring about feelings of doubt, helplessness and anxiety. In the therapy process, I help people draw on their inherent strengths to bring about positive changes in their lives. My treatment philosophy arises from a deep appreciation of my clients’ unique qualities, diverse histories and core values.
