Professional Profile
My name is Dr. Kelsey Bradshaw. I am a licensed psychologist and received my Ph.D. from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas under the mentorship of Dr. Brad Donohue; a co-developer of Family Behavior Therapy. I completed my internship at Sharp Mesa Vista here in San Diego and then returned to Idaho; where my wife and I both grew up. While in Boise I completed a community-based postdoctoral fellowship at Northwest Neurobehavioral Health (NNH). At NNH, I worked with children, adolescents, and adults in the community. My emphasis was on behavior management training, social skills training, emotional intelligence training, and use of evidence-based treatments for trichotillomania, PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, adjustment challenges, substance use, ADHD, and depression. I also provided comprehensive psychodiagnostic evaluations to assess for psychological and learning diagnoses, as well as developmental evaluations to assess for Autism Spectrum Disorders.
My wife and I returned to San Diego where I am now work primarily as a psychologist at Sharp Mesa Vista on the Child and Adolescent Inpatient Unit. As a member of the SMV psychology faculty, I provide supervision to pre-doctoral interns and psychology graduate students. I also oversee child and adolescent psychodiagnostic testing. I work on a part time basis for the San Diego Center for Children’s Family Wellness Center, where I conduct psychodiagnostic evaluations for youth with Medi-Cal. My private practice is also on a part time basis and is based in Carlsbad. Please see my website for further details.
