Tracy Alderman, PhD

I graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a BS in Education and received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology – San Diego. My decades of clinical experience span a variety of settings including outpatient specialty clinics, mobile law enforcement crisis intervention teams, correctional facilities, school districts, colleges and universities, and private practice. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-injury, ADHD, LGBTQI, and crisis management. I've provided numerous trainings and workshops on these topics nationally and internationally. I've supervised pre- and post-doctoral level students as well as psychiatric residents. Working both in research and clinical positions, I've been with the University of California, San Diego for more than a decade. I continue to enjoy learning and honing new skills, recently focusing on areas such as ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I'm the author of The Scarred Soul: Understanding and Ending Self-Inflicted Violence (New Harbinger Publications, 1997), co-author of Amongst Ourselves: A Self-Help Guide for Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder(New Harbinger Publications, 1998), and various research publications.
