Tess O’Neil, Psy.D.

Psychological Associate

Hello there, my name is Dr. O’Neil and I am a registered psychological associate (No. 94027583) and I will be working under the supervision of Dr. Shelby Robinson (License No. PSY33298).

Dr. Tess O’Neil is a bright, qualified San Diego therapist who earned her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Dr. O’Neil has spent many years working in university counseling settings, providing individual and group clinical services for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as crisis intervention and outreach partnerships. Additionally, Dr. O’Neil has worked with adolescents, adults, and couples in various outpatient community clinics. More recently, Dr. O’Neil worked in case management for inpatient and outpatient active-duty military service members in San Diego seeking treatment for mood disorders, psychosis, trauma, and dual diagnoses.

Dr. O’Neil specializes in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, issues with boundaries and self-esteem, life transitions, relationship issues, inner child work, and couples. Dr. O’Neil most often utilizes Psychodynamic and Relational-Cultural therapeutic styles in her work, but prioritizes meeting patients where they are and adjusting when necessary to match what patients need.

Dr. O’Neil approaches her professional work with sincerity, openness, curiosity, humility, humor, and empathy. She values giving patients the opportunity to tell their stories as an important element of their humanity, and sees this as a critical foundation of her work as a therapist.
