Couples Counseling Therapists in Otay Ranch, Chula Vista, CA

My mission as your therapist is to help you find purpose, passion, and serenity in your day-to-day life. My approach is tailored to help you feel comfortable and unconditionally supported and accepted in therapy. I believe in a collaborative approach, and we will explore your individual qualities, needs, and desires to develop a safe environment for your growth and healing. I have worked extensively with depression, anxiety, trauma, couples issues, ADD/ADHD, addiction, self-esteem issues, family of origin issues, and relationship challenges.

Pleased to meet you! My name is Ashley Gomez-Hotko LMFT. I provide individual telehealth therapy to adult clients within the state of California. If you are experiencing symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, grief and loss, family or relationship issues, or enduring a difficult life transition, I would love the opportunity to hear your story and support you. Carrying our pain without addressing it may not only make life less satisfying, but it can take a toll on other aspects of our health. Mental health IS health, and therapy can be medicinal for untangling the mind and heart.

If you, like many, are feeling any mixture of difficult emotions, struggles, anxiety, isolation, prolonged sadness, depression, or struggling with addiction or mental health diagnosis, you are not alone. We have all collectively experienced a once in a lifetime pandemic and it’s taken its toll. Whatever your struggle- you want to feel better: whether working in a coaching capacity to achieve your goals, therapeutically to address current difficulties, symptoms or trauma (past/ present), relationship issues, general stress… This is the 1st step to FEEL the FULL joy of life again: you’ve found the right place! Take that first step.

Aloha! I offer telehealth therapy / counseling for Hawai'i and California. I can meet you via Zoom, Facetime, Google Duo, or Skype. I also offer mobile therapy, which means I can meet you at your home, or nearly park, beach, etc.., so it's more convenient for you (but there's an additional fee for in-person mobile therapy, sorry!). As of 2022, I've been doing private practice for 12 years, and I want to be the most helpful as possible to you for your current situation, and in a comfortable atmosphere, we'll work together to identify solutions to your concerns, build on your strengths, and help achieve your goals! mahalo!

Welcome! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing narrative therapy. My primary focus is to be respectful to each person I meet with, and to help each person discover and remember the abilities they have which can help them move through life despite the obstacles which sometimes get in the way. I am passionate about standing alongside the people I collaborate with against the problems that show up in their lives, sometimes these problems are systemic and oppressive, and require activism and courageous determination. I am happy to meet with individuals, couples , and families.

Hi There! Thanks for visiting my profile. I don't need to tell you that I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist because I am sure you have already read that in the heading of my profile. What that heading doesn't say is that I am a wife and a mom and I completely understand the rewards and challenges we face daily in both those roles. While I do work with various populations, it is my role as a wife and a mom that have lead me to specialize in working with children and families in various capacities. .

I am a passionate clinical therapist who loves working with children, women, couples and families going through challenging times. Are you and your your child having trouble communicating? Are you and your spouse having trouble communicating? Do you see them going through a hard time, long to help but don't know how? Do you suffer from Bipolar Disorder? I am here for you. Do you feel undone by anxiety or depression and don't know how to "shake it off"? Please call today, My number one goal is to help in the most comfortable and holistic approach possible. It's OK, not to be OK. Together we can get there, one step at a time.

Are you feeling unloved, anxious and unsure on how to move forward? Are you having difficulty connecting with a loved one? Have you tried talking through the issues and continue to feel unresolved or stuck? And no matter what you do, it seems like you’re relationship or situation isn't getting better. The thing is, whatever is happening, it must be addressed. Therapy provides the space for you to process what you're going through and it can teach you how to manage your thoughts and emotions in a effective way.

You wake up each morning feeling stuck and alone. Perhaps you know what is causing these feelings or maybe it feels like they came out of nowhere. Either way, these feelings overwhelm you and you’re just not sure what to do about it anymore. You notice that your relationships, work and even your ability to care for yourself are starting to be affected. You make plans to work out or make a positive change, but quickly give up because you just don’t have the energy. You are starting to lose hope that you can get yourself out of this.

A veces todos necesitamos apoyo para superar los acontecimientos de la vida. Como psicóloga estoy aquí para ayudar. Tengo experiencia trabajando con depresión, ansiedad, estrés académico y laboral, transiciones de vida y relaciones. También tengo he liderando grupos y dado clases a estudiantes universitarios. Mi enfoque terapéutico es colaborativo y holístico, centrándose en la experiencia de la persona y los factores sociales que afectan su vida. Mi objetivo es proporcionar un espacio seguro para identificar y comprender los factores estresantes y aprender formas saludables de sobrellevar una vida más satisfactoria.

Sometimes we all find ourselves feeling stuck or struggling in some way. Feelings of anxiety, depression, overwhelm or burnout are part of the human experience. For some people, it's a season of life or life circumstance or perhaps something that's been persisting for some time. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean you have to walk the path alone. As a therapist, my goal is to help clients find their way back to a healthier, thriving and content space.

You can't stop thinking about that moment... the words that were said and the way it made you feel. Whether it was years ago or yesterday, it still feels fresh. Maybe it was a comment your mother made or the words of an Ex. Either way, it stung, and it won't stop ringing in your ears. Why can't you get it out of your head? You've tried ignoring it, pushing it down, screaming at it and nothing has worked. It continues to creep in day in and day out. Chipping away at your self-esteem & self-worth. Affecting so much of your life and your ability to trust. You don't just want relief, you need it. You need to find a way to truly move on.
