Therapists in San Diego, CA

I believe that some of the ways people developed to cope with difficult experiences in early life no longer adaptively serve them; therefore, I help clients gain insight into those patterns and develop new ways of being in order to make positive changes. I also deeply value the impact that family-of-origin and culture have on identity development, interpersonal relationships, and how one views the world. My research focused on examining the relationship between academic stress and physical health symptoms. Visit my website to read more about me and my therapeutic approach www.drlouizalivschitz.com

Hello and welcome! I'm Cassidy and I'm so glad you're here. Are you feeling stuck? Have you experienced trauma or struggled in relationships? How about your relationship with yourself? I work with teens, young adults, adults, and couples. I support and work with clients who may be struggling with their personal identity, gender transitioning, strained family/romantic relationships, self empowerment/self love, boundaries, and navigating partnerships. I also have a strong focus in working with female/women identifying individuals struggling with anxiety and self worth.

Does the world feel overwhelming these days? Maybe you’re having trouble coping or not feeling like your old self. Perhaps you've been experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, or confusion. This reality feels overwhelming and inescapable. You just simply can’t run from your mind. Your heart and soul are weighed down by exhaustion, anxiety, and weariness.

It is my belief that therapy is a partnership, and if you're ready for help, together we can make strides in achieving your goals.

My ultimate goal is to work in partnership with you to build the skills you need to achieve your objectives for yourself or for your family, and to help you make new and better choices.

People want straight talk from a psychologist, not psychobabble. They don’t want a passive therapist who just listens. Nor do they want a know-it-all to tell them exactly what to do. They want a competent psychologist who gives real feedback about what he sees going on. They want someone with real life experience who can relate to their problems as a professional, a parent or a child. Before becoming a psychologist, Dr. Evans had experience serving in the Peace Corps, running a business, getting married and having children.

As a psychologist and personal coach, I view my work as a collaborative process where I join my client in defining and moving toward his or her goals and individual journey. At the heart of a strong therapeutic alliance are real trust, non-judgment and the balance of support and challenge. My own 20-year journey in practice has enabled me to more fully understand each of these important attributes. I believe that my role isn't to have the right answers, but is about having the right questions. My work remains one of the passions in my life.

Life can be difficult, challenging and often painful. I have been helping adults, teens and kids for over 25 years during emotionally hard times. I provide individual, family and couples therapy using a mix of orientations in a calm, safe environment. Primarily I provide psychodynamic talk therapy that is insight oriented and developmentally based. I also use cognitive behavioral strategies where appropriate. In addition I am able to offer psychological and neuropsychological assessments for ages 6 years and older. Understanding yourself and your loved ones is an essential step towards change.

I enjoy helping adult clients manage mood disorders, clarify career and life ambitions, and navigate critical transition periods. Additionally, I work with couples to help them better understand one another and improve their overall relationship, as well as more effectively manage relational conflicts and tensions. Lastly, I offer executive coaching services. It can be lonely and hard to get feedback at the top. Executive coaching provides the support of a confidant and sounding board, while creating an action plan towards further self-development.

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families live to their greatest potential and wholeness whether they are surviving from past hurts, trauma, depression, anxiety, or just need support. I have a passion to help couples create a deeper and more meaningful connection that will last their lifetime.

My practice is the San Diego Institute for Couples and Families, www.sdicouples.com.
