Dina Lim
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist
We will use psychotherapy and medications to help alleviate suffering and create a empowering narrative that will bring meaning to your life.
I am a psychiatrist that does medication management and therapy located in La Jolla. My area of expertise are students and staff in an academic setting. I have graduate-level training in therapy and also am dually boarded in both adult and adolescent psychiatry, which means that I am especially well-versed in the transitional issues that students and young working professionals face. My practice is designed for individuals who have been struggling and frustrated by an inability to achieve their goals in life. Together, we will work on recovery, growth, and flourishing.
