Meet Dr. Brett

My name is Dr. Brett Boeh (Bay) Bergmann (she/her). I am a licensed clinical-community psychologist and earned my Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. I completed my internship at Sharp Mesa Vista and postdoctoral fellowship at Sharp McDonald Center here in San Diego.

I specialize in psychological assessment using gold-standard tools and a strengths-based approach to help clients navigate diagnoses and gain access to community resources. My mission is to increase access within San Diego County to high quality testing services. I have clinical expertise in psychological testing, Autism assessment, ADHD assessment, geropsychology, end-of-life, and substance use. 

I also provide therapy services, in line with my clinical expertise. A small number of therapy slots are available for individuals with an autism diagnosis. I specialize in providing neuroaffirming services for folks who are eager to build a life worth living. I also provide a small number of therapy slots for individuals who have a life-limiting diagnosis and close family members to an individuals with life-limiting diagnoses. Over the last fifteen years, I have provided support in hospice and palliative care in order to support individuals at the end-of-life as well as their loved ones. This unique clinical specialty is often a useful addition to the support of hospice care.

In addition to private practice, I work full-time at Sharp Mesa Vista as the clinical psychologist for the Senior Behavioral Unit and as faculty for the training program where I teach future psychologists and provide supervision for assessment across the hospital. My work at Sharp Mesa Vista is a testament to my deep commitment to serving my community.

I am a native to San Diego, proud graduate of the Academy of Our Lady of Peace, mother of three, and a caregiver to an adult with disabilities which fuels my passion for being an advocate and neurodiversity affirming service provider within the mental health community. You can call me Dr. Boeh (Bay) Bergmann, Dr. Brett, or just Brett – whatever suits you!
