Dr. Louise Dixon De Silva, PhD

Dr. Louise Dixon De Silva, PhD

Psychologist
CA
Welcome to my practice! I am a licensed clinical psychologist (CA PSY 33922) serving adults throughout Los Angeles and California from my private practice. I am an expert in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and reproductive mental health. I have extensive training in providing gender-specific care to women-identifying patients on a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma-related problems, and borderline personality disorder. I am a graduate of Wellesley College, where I majored in psychology. During college, I completed a research practicum in mood and anxiety disorders at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). I attended graduate school at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), where I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology. I completed my clinical training in CBT at the Anxiety Disorders Research Center at UCLA and at the UCLA Depression Grand Challenge. I also received clinical training in DBT at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, the UCLA Psychology Clinic, and the Veteran’s Affairs Long Beach Healthcare System (Long Beach VA). I completed my psychology internship at the Long Beach VA in Health Service Psychology, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Long Beach VA in Women’s Mental Health. While on postdoc, I completed the VA’s national training and certification program in Reproductive Mental Health. In addition to seeing patients in my private practice, I am the Clinical Director of the Perinatal Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital and a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Psychology at UCLA. I am also Clinical Faculty at UCLA, involved in teaching and supervision of graduate students and medical residents at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and the David Geffen School of Medicine. My preferred pronouns are she/her/hers.
