Therapists in San Diego County, CA

It takes courage to set up your first therapy appointment, and it can be challenging to find a therapist who "gets you". With a trusted therapist, you can identify your struggles and find ways to overcome them, find importance and meaning in your life, experience healing from bad memories, and communicate better with loved ones. I have worked with clients for 29 years helping people find their clarity and truth. I welcome your call to determine if I'm a good fit for you as a therapist.

All of us experience times in our lives when a little help is needed. Perhaps now, it is a period of time in your life that is emotionally difficult, a death or loss you are grieving, struggles with depression or anxiety, problematic relationships, or just want to work on personal growth. Perhaps you need a sympathetic, nonjudgmental ear with someone whom you can trust. I hope you can find that person in me.

As a mental health professional for over 20 years, I have always been passionate about changing lives. My clinical background includes forensic mental health and medical social work. It is remarkable to see the gradual progress in clients and the transformative power of therapy at work. The most rewarding part of counseling is the therapeutic relationship with the client and how that foundation is used as a catalyst for change. I love to see the light and joy come back in my client's lives!

No matter what is going on within you and around you, there is always hope. You do not have to face life alone. Life brings us challenges that can include anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, and grief. Together we can create an individualized plan to help you heal and create the life that you desire. As a warm and caring therapist, it would be my honor to be a part of your healing process. Through our work together, I am committed to helping you recognize your strengths and innate resiliency that would allow you to thrive at home, work, and in relationships.

Going to school, work, or social events can be terrifying for some. Feelings of anxiety become paralyzing even before we arrive. Whether it's trying to manage stress with school or work demands, navigate feelings around change or loss, or handle social situations like entering conversations or dealing with rejection or bullying, it can be exhausting. We get stuck in habits keeping us from living productive lives and forming healthy relationships. As a result we isolate, turn inward, and experience mood shifts. My clients want a space where they can be heard and learn coping skills to build confidence and emotional stability.

I know how difficult making changes in your life can be. Asking for help and support is a sign of strength and commitment to improving your life. I am here to help you on your personal journey to achieve a life filled with peace, happiness, and emotional well-being. My goal is to empower you to find personal strategies to discover your full potential. Using therapeutic approaches with proven results, I am able to help identify behaviors and/or thoughts might be holding you back from living a meaningful and happy life.

I have over 25 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families providing individual, couples and family therapy in both Philadelphia and San Diego. I managed a school based program in San Diego County for 15 years providing an array of mental health services to children and adolescents with severe emotional and behavior problems. I have also worked as a Medical Social Worker at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego for the past 20 years providing supportive counseling to children and their families during a medical and/or health crisis.

Psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to examine issues that impact our quality of life. I help bring awareness to the source of emotional stress, help you with better self-understanding and more realistic expectations, while working together to arrive at solutions. I have had experience working with young adults, adolescents, children and families in various practice settings, including private practice, schools, hospitals and university counseling centers. Currently,my practice is mostly individual psychotherapy, as well as psychological assessment. I also provide ADHD and learning disability evaluations.

I help you in healing your deepest hurts and connecting with your own inner healer.

I enjoy working with adult populations within a spectrum of life's difficulties, including: anxiety, depression, chronic pain, chronic stress, family dysfunction issues, childhood trauma, self-esteem, and improving confidence or performance. We start with a thorough assessment and build a treatment plan that addresses primary and underlying concerns where you experience "stuckness" and move toward greater joy. I am currently looking for participants for process grief group, adults from dysfunctional families, and chronic pain groups. Please email for more information.

I believe the most important component to successful therapy is trust and connection between the client and his or her therapist. It is my intention to build a trusting relationship and to embark on a collaborative journey with each client. My passion is working with people to help them overcome obstacles, to enable them to reach and maintain goals to live a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life. I am an empathetic listener, compassionate and sincere in my desire to be of service by creating a safe environment for clients to explore ideas, to feel empowered and to practice new skills.

People who seek therapy are already in a position to feel better simply because they have taken that first step to ask for help. My experience as a psychotherapist for couples and adult individuals has included individuals with weight issues, health and fitness behaviors, stress management, relationship problems, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. My approach emphasizes self-awareness and self-care as I help individuals find and maximize their strengths to help them cope with life stressors.

My style is holistic as I belief that the mind, body, and emotions are all interconnected.

I specialize in helping adults who are grappling with complex, long-term trauma, related anxiety and depression, life transitions, grief and loss and adult ADHD. These issues can deeply impact your life, creating layers of challenges that require careful, sustained attention. I also specialize in working with those that are completely new to therapy.

Hello, my name is Holly Myrick. I have seen that by living in this fast-paced and modern society, many of us have become more isolated from our community and from ourselves. I understand that significant stressors we face such as grief, illness, breakups/divorce, trauma, anxiety, depression, bullying, you name it, can make us feel even more isolated and disconnected resulting in a vicious cycle of hopelessness and feelings of brokenness. My passion and goal as a therapist is to guide my clients in feeling reconnected within themselves and their surrounding community through a collaborative and existential approach.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and personal lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe your well-being should come first and foremost.

Hi, I'm Dr. Holly Siegrist. I have 15 years of clinical experience, and I take a strength-based approach. I work with clients on spirituality and meaning-making, creativity, dream analysis, relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress related to disability and other discrimination, grief, chronic illness, losses, and life change. My interests are in social justice, coping with discrimination, health and wellness, and resilience. My therapy style is warm and welcoming. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion, and providing a safe space to listen to clients express their thoughts and feelings.

I specialize in chronic health conditions and trauma, which I understand first hand. Chronic medical conditions (i.e. dysautonomia POTS, EDS, Lyme disease, Bartonella, IBS, fibro, fatigue CFS, Hashimoto’s, mast cell MCAS, sickle cell disease, mold illness CIRS, etc.) often come with significant challenges, like fear, anxiety, grief, medical PTSD, and may interfere with relationships and daily function. I utilize various holistic evidence-based treatment modalities and practice-based evidence, contingent on each person’s needs and goals, with an added focus on mindfulness techniques, positive psychology, and strengths-based therapy.
