Dr. Carlos Alarid

I specialize in trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. During my postdoctoral fellowship, I treated active military personnel diagnosed with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse by conducting both individual and group therapy. Working with active military, I learned how to gain the individual's trust and confidence to let me into their lives, providing a nonjudgmental space to process life's events. My doctoral dissertation focused on professional boxers and how they adjusted to retirement once the fame and fortune were gone. As the psychologist for VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association), I get the opportunity to work with professional boxers in regards to their mental health. I am also a bilingual psychologist in family medicine and internal medicine. Being one of the few Spanish-speaking psychologists, I have had the opportunity to treat many Latino males and learned to adapt and adjust to each patient's personality. Making that first call to a psychologist can be difficult, especially for men. Society has bred us to withhold our emotions and "handle it like a man." I invite you to give me a call to discuss whether you'd like to come in for an appointment.
