About me

“I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and families with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal ideation, emotion dysregulation, eating disorders, and disruptive behavior disorders. I am committed to delivering evidence-based treatments that are developmentally appropriate and approachable, and I tailor my interventions to fit the individual needs of each client. Some modalities I utilize include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. My therapeutic approach is empathic, intuitive, and authentic, and I am passionate about empowering youth and families to find freedom from emotional suffering through both acceptance and change.”

Dr. Egan has experience working at different levels of care with youth struggling with a variety of presenting problems, and she has specialized training in several evidence-based treatments. She previously led PBH’s Child, Teen, & Family Clinic, and she also served as an adjunct faculty member at Stanford University School of Medicine, where she supervised predoctoral interns. She greatly enjoys clinical training and supervision, and she continues to work with practicum students and postdoctoral fellows at PBH. In addition, Dr. Egan is a psychologist on the Child & Teen Outpatient Psychiatry team at University of California San Diego Health.
