Dr. Amy Wytiaz is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 29962) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems, grief, sleep struggles, parenting strain, and anger.

Her background includes substantial work with addiction and family-related issues. She has treated people who have struggled with substance use and those affected by a loved one’s addiction.
