My name is Amanda Lockie, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 17 years of experience in the social work field, 4 years in clinical therapy practice. I approach therapy from a somatic experiences' focus, connecting mind-body responses to facilitate healing. I connect well with adult individuals who are experiencing adult burnout, being overwhelmed with work, parenting, health changes, or life in general. I am sensitive to sensory overwhelm and highly sensitive person.

Currently seeing patients virtually.

I have seen that with support all of us can grow in new directions and recognize strengths we already have available, to fully live a life with more meaning, belonging, wellbeing, and enjoyment. I bring curiosity to our unique life experiences, upbringings, communities, identities, and the various contexts we find ourselves in. Always interested in how these experiences both impact and nourish our lives.

You feel like you’re walking through life in a fog. You’ve gone through all the motions, and done all the “right things,” to get to this point in life, and yet it still isn't enough. The thoughts and inner critic are so loud, that it’s hard to imagine them not being there. We’ve learned so many survival skills to get us to this point in life, and they’ve worked. They’ve gotten you here and that’s amazing! But are they still serving you? What place do they have in your life now? I specialize in working with the LGBTQ community - in particular highly sensitive people and empaths. As a queer therapist and human, I get it.

Do you have a voice in your head constantly telling you that you aren't good enough? Do you feel like you're hiding your true self? Are you struggling with burnout and lack of purpose? Do you isolate to cope with anxiety? Are you longing to change but don't know how? Therapy can help! I am passionate about supporting clients in lessening anxiety, improving self-esteem, establishing boundaries, deepening communication in relationships, and identifying purpose and values to live a more authentic life.

Welcome to my practice. I am a heart-centered therapist who works collaboratively with you. This work supports you in finding the roots of self- limiting beliefs and relationship patterns, and provides tools and techniques for healing, which gives way to inner clarity and freedom. When you are connected to your inner wisdom and intelligence, your life becomes healthy and grounded, relationships are more intimate and loving, and quality of life becomes richer. I use a holistic body-heart-and soul approach with those who are committed to growth and healing.

I offer a mindful, compassionate, non-judgmental approach to therapy for those seeking relationship health and more harmony in their lives. If you're struggling in your relationship or with your child, stuck in painful patterns, or longing for more authenticity and connection within yourself, I can help. As someone who's had to work hard to feel strong on the inside, to balance work and nurture healthy relationships, I understand the struggles of trying to keep it all together. My aim is to help you find more harmony and peace of mind. It is possible.

Hi, I am Alyson Bifano, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with a strong commitment to providing compassionate and evidence-based therapy. My approach to therapy is client-centered, emphasizing a safe and supportive environment that allows individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions freely. I specialize in areas such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues, tailoring my treatment plans to meet each client's unique needs and goals.

Welcome! You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, feelings of shame, low self-worth, or perfectionist tendencies. Perhaps you're going through a transitional phase, questioning your identity, or working through trauma. Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I'll meet you with warmth, attentiveness, and curiosity about your unique experiences. I provide a space where you'll feel supported and challenged to move in a more purposeful direction. Our work can help you gain new insights, shift unhelpful patterns, learn skills to cope with life's challenges and uncertainties, improve your relationships, and cultivate balance.

Peace with ourselves and positive connections with friends, partners or lovers, families of origin, chosen families or communities, allows us to lead more satisfying lives. Psychotherapy can lead to healing emotions and traumas that block those connections. I provide a safe and compassionate space and support the fullest expression of your true self. I assist you in identifying and addressing problematic internal messages that impact your current relationships, your work life, your well being.

In our turbulent times, life sometimes is overwhelming. When we run out of solutions, therapy can help create possibilities. I specialize in helping those who feel stuck. With over 40 years experience in the field, I provide a safe, supportive environment to explore your potential for change. Working primarily with relationships - including your relationship with yourself - I challenge restrictive behaviors and beliefs while supporting openness to new experience. I enjoy working with adults, couple and individual sessions.

Do you want to resolve relationship or family issues sooner than later? Do you need help with the behavior of your child? I am happy to help you with Brief Therapy, an approach that is highly effective and takes significantly less time than classic psychotherapy. Together, we will focus on problem solving strategies to create the change you want. We will unlock your unique resources that will allow you to successfully overcome the problematic situation, and create a positive snowball effect in your life.

You deserve to feel at home within yourself, your relationships, and your environment. A psychological home is not a particular physical place. It's being at home within yourself and your life, where there's a sense of comfort and belonging that you can carry with you wherever you go. If you choose to work with me, our therapy can become a kind of “home” that we co-construct together. You'll be supported to gain more clarity around your feelings and behavioral patterns, as well as develop more freedom and agency around your choices about work, life, and relationships.

Welcome to my practice! Have you been feeling like anxiety, low mood and motivation have been getting you stuck and preventing you from living the life you want to? Anxiety is a normal and important feeling that we developed to protect us from harm. If you are experiencing overwhelming levels of anxiety though, it can prevent you from doing things you care about, disrupt your social life and cause intense distress. Similarly, if you suffer from very low mood and motivation, it might seem impossible to engage in activities you previously cared about.

Therapeutic relationships can truly be life changing and transformational. The issues that are leading you to think about therapy can be worked on, leading to increased satisfaction and joy with yourself, improved relationships with others, and enhanced functioning in pursuit of the life you want. I work collaboratively with you to help you develop more flexible responses to resolve conflict. Listening to your unique story with deep curiosity is crucial to our work, but I'm also pro-active and engaged in sharing my thoughts and observations. Kindness and compassion are vital, but so too are active help and feedback.

I take a very straightforward, yet warm and non-judgmental approach to my work. I offer client-centered therapy with an emphasis on helping individuals reach wholeness and authenticity. I do not believe I can be an authority on anyone else’s experience, but I might be able to offer a perspective that helps someone see their life in another way. We can explore together not just the thoughts you are having, but also the way you relate to others and the way you relate to your body and what it expresses.

My name is Diode de Dios, pronounced like "Jodi." I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, California, and working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, grief, life transitions, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients make progress and feel better.

I believe healing happens when you make a connection with another person where you can be yourself, feel valued, listened to, and cared for. Working with a therapist can be a way to access the healing you desire and deserve. In our work together we can look at ALL the aspects of you, without judgement (even the parts you don't LOVE). When the totality of you is allowed to be seen, heard and cared for, a shift happens--that's where the healing happens. While you don't need to do a "Big Dig" to examine your past, you CAN change the way the past impacts the present. If you're up for making art, that's great--and it's not required.

In my previous career as a nurse, I learned that helping was not solving someone’s problems for them, but being with them in an authentic way as a fellow human being. The potential of human to human relationships is what drew me to becoming a therapist. A good fit with a therapist provides the safety to begin shaking loose limiting beliefs that keep you stuck and isolated in painful patterns. It can allow you to experience yourself in new, more flexible and expansive ways.
