"My work over the past four decades, relaxed and respectful, is with people in great distress and agitation, or simply wanting some satisfaction, fulfillment, a sense of well being, self-understanding and self-harmonization, and caring love in relationships. Soft-spoken and attentive, I help people re-establish a sense of peace and perspective. I am supportive of people's yearning for well-being and natural desire to understand and resolve our conflicts and issues from earlier in our lives and from now. One-hour therapy sessions are a full 60 minutes."

"You're here because fully living the life you envision remains out of reach despite your best efforts. You know that something is getting in the way of achieving your passion & purpose. But you haven't yet found a way to get free of those blocks, or you're searching for ways to step fully into peak performance. As a therapist since 1974, I combine the best ingredients of conventional therapies with the speed of the newer "power" therapies (like EMDR & EFT) & an integrative health orientation. The result: you get faster more effective results & better solutions. Free phone consult."

"Therapy usually begins with taking stock of one's current situation in life, and figuring out the best way to move forward. I have been helping adults and children with difficult life situations and transitions for almost 30 years. My intent is to be understanding; to listen and to hear but also provide feedback, in an environment you can count on as confidential and safe. I work with children, adults, and families."

"Are you Depressed, Anxious, Confused, having trouble making Decisions? -have you suffered a loss of any kind? Are you in Chronic Pain, have medical issues or have Relationship/Family isues? Want to give up? Any problems not enjoying life as much as you could? Problems big or small are still problems... Sometimes, it is just nice to have a CONFIDENTIAL, non-judgmental experienced person with whom to share these issues. Plain, straight-talking objective feedback is sometimes all you need. For deeper issues we can take the journey into the unexamined life together in a safe environment..."

"Do you want to feel happier and more fulfilled? In counseling, life challenges, painful emotions, and counterproductive behaviors can be addressed with the support and guidance of a psychologist. I provide individual, group, and family counseling and consultation services for children (8+), adolescents, and adults both in my La Jolla office and online for California and Hawaii residents. I have been in private practice for over nine years and my approach includes cognitive behavior therapy, family systems, dialectical behavior therapy, and positive psychology treatment methods. "

"Two core beliefs inform my work: 1) That everyone can change; and 2) That balance between work and play, alone and together time is essential for a satisfying life. If you feel stressed or ask yourself, "Why am I not happy?, " or if you are in a problematic business or personal relationship, this may be a good time to seek consultation. . Giving you the opportunity to discuss your goals and find solutions in a non-judgemental environment is essential to my work.

"My approach begins with an assessment of presenting problems, a diagnosis and the development of a treatment plan that I share with my client (or clients if I am working with a couple or a family). I may use psychological testing if necessary. We set goals together and continually assess progress. My therapeutic techniques are primarily cognitive behavioral and insight oriented. I am the author of the self-help book" The Quest For Love and Money" available from Amazon.com. I also provide lectures and workshops on parenting, relationship enrichment and communication skills."

"Interpersonal relationships are powerful contributors to our overall health. Our intimate partner relationships, family relationships, work or peer relationships tend to affect us in meaningful ways. When our relational lives are strong and connected we feel satisfied, empowered, hopeful, and more confident. When our relational lives are hurting, we feel anxious, sad, pained, frustrated, and left not knowing what to do to improve it. I work with my clients to address the heart of their stressors working toward tangible results with lasting effects. I work collaboratively & passionately to create a safe, responsive, and supportive environment to address your needs."

"I am a bicultural, licensed clinical psychologist. As a first-generation college student, I graduated with a BA in Continental Philosophy at DePaul University. I was inspired to pursue a career as a therapist, and earned my doctorate at an APA-accredited Psy.D program in Clinical Psychology at Adler University in Chicago. I completed my postdoctoral residency at UC San Diego Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), where I am currently on staff. I work from a relational model informed by contemporary psychodynamic theory, social constructivist theory, feminist theory, and CBT approaches within a multicultural framework."

"Are you finding yourself triggered by something someone said or did? Are you responding in a way that feels familiar? Do you wish you could have done it differently, but find yourself feeling and responding in the same way again? I know how to help you make a shift and free you so you never get triggered again."

"Our mind has a negativity bias which makes it hard for all of us to live well consistently. By using the Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach, I can assist you in exploring your roadblocks and learning strategies to 'unhook' from these obstacles so you can start living a more rich and meaningful life."

"My name is Dr. Kamran Zafar and I am the founder and CEO of La Jolla Addiction Healing Center. I have been in recovery for more than 30 years and know how lonely it gets. addiction can strike a person when they least expect it, as they’re trying to handle an increase in their workload, childcare or child-rearing, mental health issues, family issues, or for no reason whatsoever. It often begins innocently — trying to relieve the stress of everyday life, or just to try something new. Before the person knows it, they’re turning to the drug or alcohol as a way of coping with any negative feelings or stress in their lives. "

"My approach is highly collaborative with goals of improving insight and awareness of self-defeating patterns to allow for meaningful shifts in how clients relate to others, behave in the world and feel about themselves. I am passionate about healing attachment and relational issues and also specialize in treating eating disorders as a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist. I work with anxiety, depression and difficulties in coping as well. I believe in integrative health and, when appropriate, encourage clients to create a team of collaborating professionals to assist them in reaching their personal and health goals."

"Self-awareness and understanding of our internal needs and motivations is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and the ones we love. Our experiences as children are woven into our adult selves, and interact with our temperaments, life circumstances and connections with others. When these threads get tangled, psychotherapy can help us understand why and guide us in either untying the knots, or learning to accept them as part of the beauty of the fabric of who we are."

"From time to time we may need support during a challenging time in our life. I look forward to meeting with you and working with you to reach the power of acceptance and be on your journey when reaching your goals. I hope to work with you to enhance your strengths and empower you to live a happier life and to look forward to the future."

"Do traumas from the past hold you back? Are you stuck in addiction and tired of stigmas, judgments and critics? Every time you tried to change, the intrusive negative thoughts and anxiety overwhelm you. it's so scary to think about sharing your secrets with a stranger. I understand how traumatic past experience, set a limit on individuals ability to deal with stress, where the drugs becomes the solution and how the two are connected. Whether you are struggling with addition, rejection or loss, abuse or trauma, I am here to help."

"Are life challenges, stress, fear, worry, or physical symptoms interfering with your goals for work, school, relationships, physical, or spiritual well-being?

I specialize in treating people who experience panic attacks, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. I utilize an integrative approach consisting of mind (thoughts), brain, and body techniques to illuminate patterns, awareness, balance, and resilience."
