Therapists in San Diego, CA

Hi there! I am a bilingual, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My journey towards becoming a therapist began over a decade ago after being stationed overseas in a remote location. As a former member of the military and a military spouse, I understand the complexity of military culture and the need for support for our military personnel and their families. I have over eight years of experience working with adults and families who have grappled with life stressors. My approach is empathetic and non-judgmental with a touch of humor, while providing a warm and inviting space where you can be yourself.

I am a bilingual English/Japanese psychotherapist with professional experience in academic and clinical settings in the US and Japan. I enjoy working with clients representing a wide range of age groups and socioeconomic status and diverse cultures, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. I specialize in helping clients with issues related to life transitions such as relocation, cultural adjustment, career/job challenges, relationships, family dynamics, loss, education, health, or retirement. These challenges are a part of your journey and may cause you to lose your sense of balance. Still, I believe we all have the capacity to solve our issues and the potential to grow.

Therapy is about your vision for how you would like life to be and the person you would like to embody. Hello, my name is Shih Chiang Tang, and I am a first-generation Chinese/Taiwanese-American Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). I was raised in multiple cultures within and outside of the United States, and my therapeutic ideas reflect my diverse background. I believe in a collaborative and strength-based therapeutic approach. My goal is to utilize each individual’s innate ability to pursue a meaningful life in a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment.

I am committed to use my extensive experience and the effective skills I have developed throughout my professional career in mental health to help you feel better in a short time. I have a deep understanding of why we end up suffering or are stuck and unable to get to that state of well-being we all deserve and are capable of achieving. Sometimes one just needs a little help from an expert. At a minimum, my aim is that you leave having more insight into what the problem is and how to resolve it. We can do the rest together or you can try on your own. I am confident that you will not regret the experience.

I’m a licensed Clinical Psychologist in California and have assisted people over many years with a variety of problems and issues. These have included psychological challenges such as depression and anxiety, as well as behavioral challenges such as adopting and maintaining healthy behaviors and a healthy lifestyle. Although these problems often call for different approaches, they share some important elements. We often end up feeling badly about our own thoughts, feelings, or actions and they often do not seem to make sense.

Do you find yourself stuck in unwanted patterns? Are you overwhelmed with past experiences that seem to still be lingering? Are you wrestling with anxiety and difficult emotions? I believe that healing is possible! I believe so many of us stay stuck because we do not have the right support for healing. While having an outlet to talk or vent can be helpful, my approach involves working more directly with the root cause of the issue, which is stored in our nervous system. I enjoy helping client’s make sense of what’s going on, so we can compassionately resolve the identified problems and achieve their goals.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions? Do you find yourself feeling down and like you have lost the joy in life? Does worry interfere with achieving goals, work, relationships, or even your sleep? You are not alone! Life is full of challenges both big and small. Your thoughts and emotions during these times can be very misleading. Therapy is about learning who you are, how your mind operates, and how you can gain more control of it. It is about accepting the struggle and pain of life with the same willingness as your triumphs.

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.

My therapy style is warm and nonjudgmental as I want all of my clients to feel they are in a safe environment when working with me. I believe in treating everyone as an individual and meeting my clients where they are during sessions. I also work with my clients in identifying their individual goals and completing unique and specific treatment plans. During my years of practice, I have identified the benefits of focusing on one's self esteem in order to improve within themselves, specifically focusing on "the here and now".

Hello there! I’m Alicia. I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, but you might also call me a compassionate guide and mind-body connector. I help women, men, and non-binary individuals, couples, and triad clients who long for a supportive space to heal what has been hurt and create an environment to thrive through meaningful connection. My clients may feel stuck in patterns and would like to develop more meaningful relationships. Or maybe they are struggling to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or those of a loved one. Or perhaps they are beginning to process trauma.
