Therapists in Park West, San Diego, CA

Are you struggling with relationships? Do you need help recovering from a traumatic event? Do you often feel sad and low on energy? Are you searching for ways to be more emotionally stable and less shut down? For over 25 years I have worked with individuals, couples, and families on a range of issues including substance abuse, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, codependency, couples counseling, pre-martial counseling and more. In a highly personalized and collaborative treatment style, I help people understand the deeper reasons for why difficulties keep repeating over and over.

My name is Alexis Smith and I am a multiracial, queer associate clinical social worker with a passion for empowering and walking alongside others who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community on their life journey. My goal is to provide a safe space for the individuals I work with to explore their many identities as well as empower my clients to be their most true, beautiful and unique selves. My approach to therapy is client centered and led. I believe the greatest gift of therapy is in the therapeutic connection formed between the client and the therapist and I work to create a safe, welcoming and affirming space.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and owner of a practice called United Performance Consulting (UPC) Sports Psychology. My current mission is focused on assisting high school and college student athletes to develop the skills to perform at their best in all areas of life. The process begins with assessment and identification of goals and opportunities for growth and change. Next, we work together to meet these goals using a combination of mental performance training, sports psychology and clinical psychology services that lead to behavior change and greater success.

I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist offering virtual sessions to clients residing in California. I enjoy working with individuals ages 13 and older, couples, and families.

I am LGBTQ+ Affirming.

We all go through ups and downs; times when we’re mad, sad, angry, nervous or afraid. Whether you’re going through a big life change or things just don’t seem like they’re going your way, it’s normal to experience these feelings. But when the feelings don’t go away, when they linger for weeks, months or even years, you might need help getting your life back on track. Help is available, you don't have to suffer in silence. Recovery from these feelings is possible and I am available to help you when you are ready. Take the first step towards healing.

You are not a failure. You are not "bad." You have a right to your life. Maybe your wants and needs were dismissed when you were younger, or you were told that being yourself was somehow "wrong." Maybe you feel unable to measure up to what you think others expect from you. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to reclaim, rewrite, or tell your story for the first time.

Are you struggling with panic, worry or trauma? If so, whether large or small, it may cause anxiety. Or maybe you even feel traumatized? This can happen for any situation that causes disturbance to your daily routine, thinking and ability to function to your full potential. Whatever your anxiety or trauma is about, we can help! We are a team of therapists working extensively with anxiety issues. These could be about relationships, life events, or any negative experience. If you are struggling with moving past a traumatic incident, or anxiety, please contact us. We will have one of our therapists contact you soon.

Hi there! I'm Shera and my pronouns are she/her/hers. Thanks for stopping by! Have you been feeling isolated or lonely lately? Needing support, whether LGBTQIA+ , sexism, racism, ableism, or anything else that resonates with you? Let's work together to build your sense of self. Ready to make a significant shift in who you are and how you show up in life? Or questioning your purpose? Or perhaps you're struggling with all that is happening in our world these days and need an outlet to talk about it.

Circumstances, life crisis, disability and past trauma can block our ability to achieve our goals and dreams. I am passionate about helping people overcome obstacles that are affecting their ability to live a fulfilling, purposeful and happy life. We all have dreams and a vision of what we want our life to look like. Whatever issue brings you to therapy, I am excited to help and guide you through the process of revealing those blocks, resolving unproductive behaviors, and developing healthy coping skills so you can live the life you imagine.

Do you find yourself worried and self conscious? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one or the loss of what you did not get during your upbringing or in your life? Do you find yourself having negative thoughts or jumping to conclusions? Are you experiencing conflict with family members, co-workers or other important relationships in your life? Do you try to push away unwanted thoughts and unpleasant emotions only to have them appear in full force? Do you talk to yourself in a negative way or have a negative view of yourself? You want to feel better and live life to the fullest.

Living in this world can sometimes feel overwhelming, confusing, and challenging. I will meet you wherever you’re at in life and provide a safe and supportive environment for health, healing, and recovery. I work with clients towards cultivating greater self-understanding and uncovering what is most meaningful and enriching to their existence.

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.

Take a breath – go ahead. The process of finding a therapist can feel daunting and overstimulating, much like the world in general. Bear in mind that you don’t have to commit to a particular person right away. What’s most important is that you feel safe, supported, and heard. It might take a bit to find someone with whom you resonate, so I invite you to take the time and space you need. Our society conditions us to feel a sense of urgency, and it’s helpful to remind ourselves that we are more than our productivity, and we are more than our labels. As a person and professional, I celebrate diversity and multiculturalism of all kinds.

I'm passionate about helping people explore their stories in creative ways to empower them to live fully and authentically. In therapy, I create a safe and sacred space where people can understand both their power and their pain, heal from the wounds and trauma of their pasts, and move forward in their lives into meaning, freedom and wholeness. I have an active, engaged, personal and empathic style, and I strive to help my clients feel comfortable and known.

Hello I am Dr. Lauren Flynn, I specialize in trauma, self-compassion, and addiction. I have developed my expertise in these areas through working in varying levels of mental health care including hospital settings, residential programs, & outpatient care, as well as through research and teaching. I aim to offer a warm yet structured environment in therapy. My clients often enter therapy feeling disconnected from their lives and the people around them. By working together and tapping into client's values and strengths, I aid clients to improve the quality of their lives by engaging with life in more authentic and fulfilling ways.

The first step in healing is often the scariest, and my hope is that you take that step - for you, for those you love, and those who love you. Whether you’re reaching out to heal, to grow, to grieve, or to understand, my goal is to create a space where you will be heard, seen, and understood in a way that allows you to approach the challenges of living in new ways.
