Kevin Ing

I am an addiction trained psychiatrist learning and practicing ISTDP since 2021. I trained at UC Irvine in General Psychiatry and Yale in Addiction Psychiatry. I also have a background in philosophy, theology and religious studies, and additional training in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and psychoanalytic therapy. I have received fellowship awards from the American Psychoanalytic Association and American Psychiatric Association.

I have additional interests in Asian American identity and shame dynamics, and religious trauma. I am fascinated by the big questions: meaning, freedom, isolation, death anxiety, God, the problem of pain, the problem of guilt.

Outside of my private practice, I am currently a staff psychiatrist and clinical researcher at VA San Diego Healthcare System and UCSD. I am trained in working with all mental disorders, but I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, attachment trauma/relationship/family of origin issues, religious trauma, and addictions (substance use and behavioral addictions).
