Dr. Lisa Black, Psy.D.

Dr. Black (she/her) is alumnus of Alliant International University, San Diego, where she earned her doctorate in clinical psychology with a specialization in integrative psychology. She is a licensed clinical psychologist and board certified in biofeedback (BCB) and neurofeedback (BCN) with an additional specialty in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. 

She completed her post-doctoral training at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). She is one of UCSD’s Frontiers of Innovation Scholars Program (FISP) grantees, which offered grant support for her pioneering work to develop and implement neurofeedback services into UCSD Health’s family medicine program. 

Continuing her work at UCSD, she was the lead therapist for biofeedback and neurofeedback services and psychologist for UCSD Health’s sports medicine concussion clinic.

Dr. Black’s practice centers on integrative psychology with an emphasis on whole-person health – nurturing the mind, body, spirit, and community. She is part neuroscientist and part alternative medicine, integrating evidence-based practices with the wisdom of traditional healing. While she prioritizes scientifically supported methods, she believes that combining both approaches creates a powerful synergy for holistic well-being.

Dr. Black prioritizes building a strong therapeutic relationship. Warm and accepting, she also encourages change when needed. She values and celebrates all backgrounds, cultures, and spiritual perspectives. Rather than assuming what is “right” for any individual, she collaborates with patients and their care teams to determine the best path toward growth and well-being.

In addition to her work as a therapist, Dr. Black teaches at a community college and mentors psychology interns on their way to licensure.

Dr. Black works with her co-therapist, Lexi, to help in the healing process (see profile below).

In her spare time you will find her gardening, hiking, and having fun with Lexi.
