Pacific Islander Therapists in Carlsbad, CA

I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist and have been in practice for over 15 years. I specialize in diagnosis of disorders that impact learning such as ADHD, Auditory and Visual Processing Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and social/emotional difficulties (Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Motivation). If your child is frustrated, homework is tedious, has difficulty following directions, or has challenges with peers it may be due to an underlying issue and I will work to shed light on and resolve those issues. Through assessment and counseling your child can be relieved of frustrations and find their way to success.

Hi there, my name is Aurora San Pedro and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of CA. Challenges are inevitable and being able to move beyond them requires effort to find what works best for you. Our minds are like a GARDEN. What we choose to nourish, will grow and what will grow will lead to our actions and behaviors. I am here to help you plant (replant) seeds that will help you live the life you truly want to have. When experiencing hardship, the resilience, courage and strength it takes to prioritize your needs can be challenging. I want to provide reassurance that you are not alone in getting there.

A bit about me, I am passionate about helping teenagers, young adults, and adults who are looking to learn, process, reduce, navigate, and manage the following struggles/issues: stress and anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, healthy relationships, low self-esteem, anger, loss of a loved one, difficult life transitions, and communication. I also have an intimate knowledge of the LDS faith/culture and can provide support and help to navigate faith crises while remaining in the faith and/or transitioning down a new spiritual path.

My clients are individuals who often carry with them unresolved feelings from either their past or present challenges. Viewing those issues from an objective and trusted practitioner is vital to the change process. Always viewing my clients with unconditional positive regard is essential to us being successful. Therapy can often be the first time someone gets to step out of the day to day of their lives. My hope is during this introspection, I can coach you in the direction you need to go, not where my training thinks you should go. While I may illuminate potential paths, you're taking the steps with me right behind you!
