About Me | Dr. Jennifer Regan

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (CA License # PSY27697) with more than 15 years of clinical and research experience in community-based, outpatient, academic and hospital settings. Although I work with individuals and families experiencing a wide variety of mental health issues, I specialize in treating youth and young adults with anxiety and depressive disorders. My treatment strategies are grounded in the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and are focused on helping individuals achieve their short and long-term goals.
