Hi! I'm Kevin Flynn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping people overcome anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and major mental illness. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and good old-fashioned listening skills to help you feel understood and to more fully understand yourself. I'm familiar with 12-Step Recovery, psychiatric medications, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and other approaches to helping others.

My name is Mason Beck, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in San Diego, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with teens and adults, and specialize in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, stress, and life transitions, with an emphasis on using Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and EMDR Therapy approaches to meet client goals. My current focus is working with clients ages 13 and up, with diagnoses and concerns related to trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, stress, and life transitions.

I specialize in conducting psychological assessments/testing and developmental assessments with early childhood age children (Birth - 5), school age children, adolescents and adults. I have expertise in the evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), ADHD, Intellectual Disabilities, and adults seeking to reunify with their children. I take a family-centered and therapeutic approach to conducting psychological evaluations, providing evidence-based recommendations and treatment.

So you've decided to ask for help ... that's called self-love! It's alright to need assistance and to do something as brave and caring for yourself like you're doing right now. You are headed toward your healing even as you're reading in this moment. I believe you already have within you what you need to make the changes you're seeking. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties or you just want more out of life, I'm here to help you gain insight into your challenges and tap into your inner resources.

Having a safe space that is unique to you and your experiences is vital to personal growth and healing. My goal as a therapist is to provide you with that safe space to express yourself as you are, free of judgement. In this space we can work on highlighting those parts of you that at times feel to be dimmed by obligations, expectations, and the overall hurdles of life.

I have been a licensed psychotherapist for 43 years and have developed a number of specialties over the years. These include the treatment of traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, dysfunctional family of origin issues, dissociative disorders, mind/body issues, eating disorders, stress management, coping skills training and relaxation training. Besides Cognitive Therapy, I utilize EMDR, hypnosis and Alpha-Stim in my therapeutic work with clients. I also do "parts work", as in Internal Family Systems and Ericksonian Psychotherapy. I do in-person sessions: Tuesdays & Thursdays. I do Telehealth sessions: Mondays & Wednesdays.

It really is time. Time to bring forward your strength to overcome your sadness and pain. Time to heal the wounds of trauma, chaos, and fear. Time to bring a peaceful balance to your day to day life. You can do this! We can do this! With some help and direction, some practice and patience, you can find positive, life changing results. We will work together; to develop behavioral strategies that can overcome your emotional challenges, build a more compassionate awareness of self and others, and bring clarity/ healing to the impact of past and present.
