Female Therapists in City Heights East, San Diego, CA
Psychotherapy is a deeply personal experience that can relieve anxiety and depression, and foster authentic connection and meaning in our lives. In my work for 20 years now as a psychologist and author, I remain committed and passionate about helping clients uncover early dynamics that still seem to interfere with securing the kind of relationships and positive feelings about ourselves that we all strive for. I often find myself in the role of gently reminding clients about the parts of themselves that have temporarily gone underground, and are vital to their creativity and well-being.

Many clients come to me overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or grief. Others struggle with low self-worth, life transitions, or feeling like they’re not enough. As a clinical therapist with over 15 years of experience, I help you understand how past experiences and current stressors impact your emotional health. I offer a safe, personalized space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered. Together, we’ll work to reduce emotional pain, manage stress, and build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self. You don’t have to navigate this alone, healing is possible, and I’m here to help.

Lauren Goebel Neurodiversity Couples Therapist
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT

Are you seeking a couples therapist that specifically works with ADHD, autism, and mixed neurotype couples? That's me! I am neurodivergent myself, and I love exploring with couples how they can learn to communicate in ways that are affirming for each other's neurotype. Our neurotype (ADHD, Autism) affects the way we perceive the world, communicate, regulate our emotions, and the ways we express love. I am trained in couples therapy methods (such as the Gottman Method, EFT) and I work intentionally to make these methods neurodiversity affirming. I love to help couples understand each other and have those lightbulb moments!

With over a decade of experience as a therapist, I have had the opportunity to witness the value of incorporating a holistic approach with the traditional evidenced based treatment modalities. I am a firm believer that, to receive optimal health, we must learn to not only listen to our thoughts but also our body. My drive as a psychotherapist is assisting others in accomplishing their mental health goals through increasing self-awareness, creating healthy relationships, and applying self-care. I specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships.

You look like you have it together. You handle responsibilities, show up for people, and push through hard things. But inside your nervous system feels like it never truly relaxes.
Many adults I work with are stuck in survival mode after difficult life experiences or trauma. They appear "fine" on the outside, yet inside they feel anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on edge. Anxiety can keep your body locked in fight or flight, making it hard to slow down, feel safe, or fully be present in your life.

Healing is an integral part of our journeys, and everyone deserves to live with a sense of peace & purpose. Yet many find it difficult to reflect on whether they are living in alignment with themselves and what they truly value. I have worked alongside individuals from all walks of life navigating through addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, and various life transitions. I also help adults and couples navigate through their journeys of infertility, pregnancy, adoption, and fostering. I would love to meet you, learn about you, and walk this journey with you as you find your path towards healing through peace & purpose.

Welcome! I am Patty Palmer and I practice with children in San Diego. I have a passion for working with the neurodivergent community (ADHD, Autistic or PDA clients) and providing a safe space for children to feel their emotions and find tools to support themselves. As a neurodivergent person myself, and the parent of neurodivergent children, I have a deep passion for creating a safe space for all children who attend therapy. I work from a play based therapy lens, incorporating attachment therapy interventions and art therapy.

You’ve been through a lot, and it’s likely showing up in your relationships, your body, or the constant need to hold it all together. Maybe you're tired of over-explaining or managing other people’s emotions to keep the peace. I help people slow down and understand the patterns that keep them stuck. Especially conflict cycles, anxiety, and trauma responses that interfere with feeling seen and connected in relationships. My work sees how larger systems—like racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression shape our emotional lives.

As a therapist, I invest wholeheartedly in my clients to build a nurturing relationship where clients can feel safe, supported and valued. I am passionate about helping people overcome their challenges to arrive at a place of peace and empowerment. I deeply care about my clients and their process, thus prioritize building safe and strong relationships with each person I work with. I see therapy as an adventure where we will be going through the trenches side by side. This journey is not a straight path and each turn will take you exactly where you need to be.

We all can benefit from having a space to discuss our thoughts and learn more about ourselves. But deciding to go to therapy can be hard. My experience is working with Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have worked with people with various issues including anxiety, depression, stress, relational issues, social/racial identity, people pondering life choices, grappling with belonging, dealing with health conditions, struggling with sleep, the elderly, engineers at NASA, and people in the Silicon valley technology community. We all need to be listened to and heard by others.
