Dr. Annette Conway, Psy.D.
Licensed clinical psychologist and business woman Annette Conway is a warm and intelligent woman whose passion is home-based interventions. She is the owner of Help Therapy, which is a recognized provider of mental health services throughout San Diego County since 1993. Dr. Conway has a special interest in assessing and treating older adults, and believes expanding treatment to home visits removes two barriers that prevent individuals from seeking and obtaining psychological help—accessibility and the fear of being stigmatized.
In her private practice, Dr. Conway practice treats a broad spectrum of difficulties using cognitive-behavioral techniques. Most recently, Dr. Conway has studied Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Positive Psychology, and believes its benefits are far-reaching in de-stigmatizing mental health treatment, and in helping people of all ages, children to older adults, manage their everyday stress.
Dr. Conway was born and raised in San Diego, earned her B.A. from San Diego State University (Go Aztecs!), and her doctorate from United States International University. She served as the 2017 President of the San Diego Psychological Association, and joined her esteemed colleagues as a 2019 SDPA Fellow. Dr. Conway currently serves as the President of the San Diego County Council on Aging, and is the Chair of the American Psychological Association, Public Education Committee.
