Therapists in Clairemont Mesa, San Diego, CA

As I walked though many personal difficult experieces in my life, I learned what I wanted from a good therapist. I have dedicated the last 10 years to becoming such a therapist for people who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and tragic loss or overwhelming stress.

Is your relationship in jeopardy? Reconnecting couples in crisis is my specialty, and helping couples realize their relationship goals is my passion. Whether PTSD, depression, anxiety or addictions are sapping your relationship of vitality, an infidelity has ruptured your trust, or your conversations end in fights and stony silence, you can rely on me to help restore health and secure attachment to your lives. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, addictive cravings, traumatic memories, low self-esteem, grief, anger, or fear, together we can use the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to get you unstuck.

A client who would find my approach helpful will be looking for a mix of practical skills to deal with symptoms, better understanding of themselves, and to explore what they want from life in general. My style of therapy is adaptive. For some, a firm guiding hand creates safety and a sense of direction. For others, the opportunity to take the reigns opens up new possibilities. Let's figure out what works best for you. I believe therapy should focus both on symptom relief, and on "what's next?" Starting to feel better creates an opportunity, and I want to help you take hold and run with it!

Supervised by Jennifer Whetstone, LMFT 53763. Hi, my name is Bryanna (she/her), I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I understand that life can throw us in many different directions to a point where we feel lost. My role is to support and help you navigate through stages of life and experiences. I am here to create a safe space and build a trusting therapeutic relationship. By using a systemic lens, we can better identify the areas of your life that need attention and healing. We can work together to strengthen your sense of self and overall quality of life.

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall," Nelson Mandela. It is never fun to fall, yet it is something we all experience. If life has you in the midst of difficult challenges and you feel overwhelmed, know that you are not alone. Reaching out for support is an act of strength and courage, and is the first step in getting up again. I work with adults of all ages who are experiencing difficulties including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and stress.

Is your child struggling at home, school, or friendships? Does anxiety, anger, tantrums, or sadness seem to disable them? Whether it is huge outbursts of emotions, being overly quiet or shut down, I equip kids & parents to overcome hurdles & live with more confidence. A child's behavior is their way of communicating with you. Together we can work on understanding what your child is "saying". Getting help for your child shows how much you care for them! I'm a bilingual psychotherapist (English-Spanish) with over a decade of experience working with children, teens, & families.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Maybe you are feeling trapped by patterns of substance use, gambling, shopping, social media, or other addictive patterns. There is hope and I can help you. Perhaps life-stage challenges are causing a level of emotional constraint that you feel trapped, confused, and unclear about how to move forward. Perhaps you are a new mom or an older adult who is grappling with the changes in your body and relationships, as well as stressors that lead you to feel frustrated and confused about what to prioritize and how to take care of yourself effectively.

You’ve gone through pregnancy and the moment to meet your first newborn baby has arrived. As a new mom, thoughts run in your head like, “how do I take care of this baby when I can’t take care of myself,” “my body feels broken,” “I haven’t slept,” “this is how it is, so I just have to figure it out.” You feel overwhelmed and question if you’re a good mother when you go back to work. At the end of the day, you just want to feel supported and know that you’re still you as you experience being a mom. You decide what works for you and your family and not to live based on “you should do this or you’re supposed to do this.”

I believe that people have the capacity for amazing feats of growth and change and as a psychologist my role is to partner with my clients as they take this great journey. Change and growth are not always easy, doing something different than what you used to can feel overwhelming. I am here to provide a affirming, culturally humble, supportive, safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment that allows for you to further explore the issues you are struggling with and to make the most effective changes to better handle life's challenges, while also striving toward living a meaningful and fulfilling life.

I offer two services (both remotely): Psychotherapy for persons in California and Life Coaching worldwide in an emotionally safe and highly accountable manner. I partner with you in your journey of wellness, growth and self-discovery. Together we come up with a plan that will propel you toward fulfilling your most cherished goals and dreams. I am warm and non-judgmental and can provide a safe space for you to find or reconnect with your purpose. We work together in a relaxed and fun atmosphere to help you see yourself blossom!

I help clients with a variety of symptoms including depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, trauma and more! I specialize in helping reduce symptoms measurably over time so clients can continue living happy and healthy lives.

I enjoy working with people struggling with trauma, major life changes, and those trying to find out who they are. I have experience working with Veterans, those struggling with addiction, and family/friends who find themselves as caregivers for another. Whatever you're struggling with, I have found that every client has something beautiful and exciting to discover within them.

From time to time we may need support during a challenging time in our life. I look forward to meeting with you and working with you to reach the power of acceptance and be on your journey when reaching your goals. I hope to work with you to enhance your strengths and empower you to live a happier life and to look forward to the future.

Are you tired of surviving and ready to start thriving? It may be stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, an eating disorder or an addiction that is disrupting your life. Perhaps you are experiencing distress in your relationship, as a parent (or with your parents), or with the rest of your family. Untreated mental health issues can take a toll on your mind, body, and spirit in long term ways. It is important that you have a caring and compassionate therapist with the expertise to help you shift from surviving to thriving with effective skills and the ability to get to the root of the problem.

Welcome to my page. If you are here, this means you are considering psychotherapy for yourself or a loved one. Relationship challenges, emotional pain and personal conflicts are part of our lives and sometimes we need support and advice in coping with them. I can help you by listening and trying to understand your point of view. Then I will share with you my understanding of your situation and my expertise in dealing with problems similar to yours. I will ask questions that will help you gain better insight into who you are. We will work together towards you achieving your goals in therapy.
