Sven Schild, PhD, SEP, TCC
My name is Dr. Sven Schild, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I am dedicated to helping clients achieve their mental health goals and enhance other areas of their lives, including personal growth, relationships, and overall well-being. I use holistic, client-centered, and evidence-based treatment approaches, including Humanistic Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy. I am both an EMDR Certified Therapist™ and EMDRIA-approved EMDR Consultant™. Additionally, I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), and provide several body-oriented psychotherapies including Somatic Experiencing (SE™), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP™), and Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning Experience (DARe). My diverse skill set allows me to deliver comprehensive and personalized therapy, ensuring each client receives the support they need to thrive.
Based in San Diego, CA, I am committed to delivering high-quality mental health services through a telehealth platform. Holding a Telepsychology Competencies Credential (TCC), I provide psychological services to individuals in California, Hawaii, Florida, and Virginia. By exclusively using video sessions, I ensure that clients can receive the care they need in a way that is both accessible and convenient.
Research consistently has shown that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the best predictors of success in therapy, regardless of the specific approach used. With this in mind, I encourage you to explore my website to determine if I might be the right fit for your psychological needs. Together, we can embark on a journey toward positive change and growth.
Specializing in Trauma-Informed Care:

This specialization includes, but is not limited to, single-incident traumas, complex traumas, and developmental traumas. Such traumas may arise from experiences such as natural disasters, accidents, traumatic loss, military combat, sexual or physical abuse, or emotional neglec
My commitment extends to understanding and navigating the consequences of these experiences, which may manifest as conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Acute Stress Disorder, dissociative experiences, attachment injuries, and other trauma-related conditions. By focusing on trauma-informed care, I aim to create a therapeutic environment that prioritizes safety, trustworthiness, and empowerment, allowing clients to process and heal from their traumatic experiences.
Additional Treatment Areas:
In my practice, I address a wide range of psychological and emotional concerns to support my clients' overall well-being. My expertise extends to the following areas:
Each area is approached with a personalized and compassionate strategy, ensuring that every client receives the specific care they need to thrive.
