Therapists in San Diego, CA

I believe that healing happens when we pay attention to all the parts that make us whole—our mind, body, and soul. My theoretical orientation is influenced by Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Emotionally-Focused, Humanistic-Experiential, and Narrative approaches to treatment. This means that we will be going on an emotional journey together in which I will use an eclectic combination of clinical theories and techniques to help guide my work. I believe that the lack of emotional awareness and avoiding uncomfortable emotions can cause harm to our mind, body, and soul. My hope is to help you get to know yourself better.

Have you been feeling lost lately? Overwhelmed or at a standstill, unsure of what to do next? In challenging times, it’s hard to make sense of the noise. As a licensed psychotherapist, change agent, and strategic life coach, I aim to help people get down to the root causes of their struggles so that they can respond with new insights and an improved sense of self. With a whole lot of compassion, understanding, and a healthy dose of laughter, we walk a path that includes identifying strengths and challenges to break down the barriers to living your best life.

I believe that love is a fundamental experience we all want and need: Love from our partners, relationships, and even from ourselves. However, when that love doesn't work, it really hurts us. I want to work with people who feel stuck in their relationship, where that sense of connection feels broken, in disrepair, or lost. My goal and hope is to help you and your partner establish new patterns and experiences in and out of therapy, so that you can learn to express and receive the love from one another that we all need.

My areas of expertise include: depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, self-esteem, trauma, codependency, and life stressors. Treatment is tailored to each individual person. A holistic therapy approach is utilized, which is the combination of contemporary and alternative treatments with evidence-based practices to assist a person in achieving balance in mind, body, and energy. A deeper understanding of the whole self can lead to increased self-awareness, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and emotional/physical well-being.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee with experience and training in Phase 1 Brainspotting to which I am actively working towards certification. I am also trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Therapeutic Treatment of Birth Trauma Level 1 & 2.

Are anxiety and stress keeping you from living your life to your fullest potential? Are you feeling stress weighing on you internally or causing you to feel exhausted and hopeless? Together we will explore ways to grow, further develop self-acceptance and unearth traumatic experiences and daily stressors that are hindering you from achieving this potential. I will be available to provide an unbiased listening ear and warm spirit as you reimagine the life you want for yourself. In this safe and accepting environment, we will develop an action plan to better manage your unique symptoms and your life.

My goal is to help people put their life back on track! Eating, weight and body image issues can derail a person's focus and purpose. Healing from the inside out and the outside in releases a person from the tyranny of perfection. Learning to put food and feelings into proper perspective is a realistic and achievable goal.

I am a contagiously energetic Licensed Clinical Social Work with a history of working with a variety of people encountering life changes. My education and experience has led me to work with adults, young adults, teens and military service members. Life happens to us all, no matter the age or issue, and sometimes we need help with figuring things out. I'm passionate about helping others to excell, and offer nonjudegmental care, based on ethical practices to assist with improving the quality of your life.

Hello! My name is Dr. Lentz and I have been practicing in the field of psychology for over 10 years. I have assisted those in need from young children to the elderly ranging in wide variety of challenges including but not limited to anxiety, depression, academic, behavioral, career, marital and other mental health conditions.

Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, or low self-esteem? Do you find yourself avoiding social engagements or so preoccupied with excessive worrying? Finding ways to navigate these difficult feelings can help you get back on track. I use a psychodynamic approach and CBT that focuses on uncovering patterns of behavior and ways of relating to ourselves and others that are often outside of our awareness. I also consider how our past impacts who we are today. Through acceptance and empathy, we will establish a trusting therapeutic relationship and work together toward your personal growth and self-discovery.

Genuine connection is key to health and happiness. Developing a safe and trusting relationship with ourselves, each other, and our environment creates a strong foundation for the development of a healthy and meaningful life. Trauma can interrupt our ability to create safe relationships and meaningful lives. My lived and therapeutic experience include addressing relational trauma, complex trauma, grief, life transitions, domestic violence, addiction, codependency, and other relationship issues to improve overall health and quality of life.

Being willing to explore our inner landscapes is one of the bravest things we can do. Our inner world is often shaped by our experiences and affects everything about us, from our internal sense of worth and peace, to our intimate relationships and endeavors. My approach to therapy begins with curiosity and compassion. Together, we will get curious about the parts of you that may feel anxious, depressed, depleted, overwhelmed, worthless, scared, or alone. We will explore these parts with gentleness and warmth in a way that feels safe and supportive.

We are each so much more than a reductive diagnosis or a list of symptoms or problems. I am honored to hold space and join others in full compassion and non-judgment while navigating many of the unavoidable transitions, changes, and realities of life. I come from an immigrant family with strong collectivist and cultural values of contribution and service to others, and bring a creative, reflective, philosophical approach to working with others. I believe change happens, at your pace, in nurturing corrective emotional experiences. From here, we can explore new ways of being our true selves in the world and in our relationships.
