¿Te resulta difícil vivir y expresar tu verdadera identidad queer? ¿Te encuentras luchando para pasar tus días? ¿La vida se siente abrumadora? La depresión y la ansiedad pueden cobrar un precio muy alto en su vida. Cuando combinas eso con la experiencia vivida de ser una persona queer en un mundo heteronormativo, puede hacer que todo se sienta aún más desalentador. Si te encuentras en un lugar donde apenas ves la luz puede que sea el momento de empezar a dar los pasos para convertirte en la versión más auténtica y orgullosa de ti mismo. La terapia es una manera increíble de comenzar este viaje.

Insight Care Counseling: The beauty of this -our shared life’s journey- is that we can aspire to embody its greatest gifts -love, fulfillment, clarity and peace. And yet, at times, we encounter challenges and changes that bring forth feelings of stress, depression, anxiety -or numbness and disorientation. And it is often at these junctures that psychotherapy can help; for in essence, the therapeutic journey is about finding richness even while in the land of disenchantment … and healing even while walking through pain.

Hello! I'm a licensed counseling psychologist offering individual psychotherapy to California residents. I currently specialize in working with adults who seek help for relational problems, family issues, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Dr. Richie Koenig specializes in treating ADHD, queer issues, depression, anxiety, and trauma related disorders. He has worked in a variety of clinical settings throughout California and has experience working with a wide range of presenting concerns, including life transitions, family conflict, and grief. His therapeutic approach is both neurodiverse and queer affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive; he centers psychodynamic, multicultural, somatic, and relational approaches that continuously integrated with the instrumental features of evidence-based modalities including CBT and DBT.

I do this work because I genuinely love it. I am very honest and direct with clients and encourage openness from each of us. Therapy is an opportunity to slow down, get reacquainted with ourselves, and engage in vulnerability and playfulness that is too often not accessed. I offer a supportive, completely non-judgmental space where everything and anything is on the table (trust me, as therapists, we’ve heard it all). Trust and comfortability take time, and I respect clients’ pace and readiness to travel in difficult directions. I also promise to (compassionately) hold you accountable to promote growth and healing.

Therapy is a space that is both engaging and supportive. I aim to create a welcoming environment where you can access therapy as a means to enrich your life. I come from a unique cultural background, being half Salvadorian and half Filipino, a first-generation child of immigrant parents, and part of the LGBTQ+ community. These diverse cultural influences have significantly shaped my personal identity and professional development. This journey of straddling multiple cultures has taught me the richness of our intersectional identities and how we all engage with the world through a complex web of lived experiences.

My goal as a therapist is to help you recognize your strengths, your ability to evolve. I would rather assist you in uncovering and learning how to use your own power than you feeling you are seeing me because I have all the answers. Your inner guiding intelligence has better answers and the ability to heal. We just have to connect you to that. Sometimes there are blockages inside us too, like boulders in the middle of our path. I can help you learn how to clear them so you can walk your own path and lead a more joyful, fulfilling life. I'm looking forward to meeting the wonderful you that you are.

Dr. Reyes has years of experience in the field of psychology and has had extensive training in the treatment of child and adolescent issues.

He also sees adults for the treatment of depression and anxiety. Dr. Reyes has practiced in San Diego for the past ten years and is also affiliated with Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital. He speaks fluent Spanish and can provide all services in both English and Spanish.

I have been providing psychotherapy since 2008 and I am very passionate about helping people get well. I strongly believe that all people have the ability, and deserve to, be well and happy. I also know through my work in this field, and through personal experience, that all of us as human beings will find ourselves stuck at various points in our lives and that's when we need some support and encouragement. My approach to treatment is to assist patients to find their own strengths, skills, and accomplishments and use those strengths and skills to get themselves through their current challenges.

I utilize talk therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions. My approach allows individuals to get to the root cause of their issues while still having the immediate change of behavioral interventions.
