Dr. Alan Acre PSY34095 Before I became a licensed clinical psychologist, I enlisted in into the U.S. Army in 1999 as a combat medic and later commissioned as an Army officer. While serving in the military I was deployed to Iraq (OIF) as a Combat Advisor, for the 1st Infantry Division in Baghdad, Iraq. Following my deployments and 15 years of military service I was honorably discharged and started pursuing my education in mental health. I graduated cum laude with a doctorate in clinical psychology. My research includes publications and presentations in trauma, veteran homelessness, Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS), substance use, sexual violence, child abuse, and posttraumatic growth. I previously trained in the VA medical system with experts in PTSD, moral injury, suicide prevention, substance use, outpatient general mental health, couples, and families. For three years I trained at Veteran’s Village of San Diego (VVSD), where I performed treatments for trauma, substance use, moral injury, general mental health, and conducted trauma testing for our nation’s veterans. I also trained at Sharp Mesa Vista in the “Veterans and Trauma (PTSD) clinic” and the outpatient substance use, “Dual Diagnosis clinic.” I completed a yearlong psychoanalytic fellowship at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy. I also completed training in adolescents and teen counseling at New Haven Youth and Family Services in Vista, CA. Lastly, I am trained in evidence based trauma therapies for treating PTSD, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Prior to my current role, I was the Clinical Director and founder of the “Advanced Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Clinic” based in San Diego, CA. During my years as a clinical director, I created and managed several PTSD clinics across California that specialized in psychological services for first responders. Over the years I advocated for the rights of first responders to utilize appropriate mental health services in a timely manner and helped to reduce the stigma associated with mental health in the first responder community. Personally, I am a cancer survivor and enjoy helping others find meaning from all of life’s circumstances and challenges.

Therapy is about exploring yourself and the way you interact with those around you to create opportunities for a greater experience in the world. This process of exploration allows you to develop an awareness of yourself, and of opportunities for growth and healing. My therapy style is eclectic, though I mostly utilize CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe you already have the power to be happy within you, and I will assist you in discovering that power. Therapy happens outside of the therapy room, between sessions, which means there might be homework. The catalyst for change is you! I am a MFT trained to treat couples, families, and individuals. My primary focus is on helping those with anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. I see a lot of military service members, active or retired, and their family members. I see clients ages 12 and up. I accept some insurance for individual therapy only. If you feel like you're ready to make a change, please email me to get more information. I will share more details with you and so you can decide if you'd like to make an appointment. I'm ready to help!
