Therapists in San Diego, CA

Welcome to my clinical psychology practice for counseling and psychotherapy. I have over twenty years experience as a licensed Psychologist working with children, teens, adults and couples. I am committed to providing you with excellent, caring and practical help. I utilize an integrative approach to psychotherapy combining treatment techniques for body, mind, emotions and spirit. I believe that developing our real self opens us to the rich inner world of our feelings, wants and needs and empowers us to take charge of our lives. I hope to help you create more peace, calm, love and joy in your life.

I work with couples, individuals, and young adults, including those who struggle with relationship issues, mood instability, self-acceptance, LGBTQ+ identity, anxiety, and OCD, who want to create a more true and beautiful life. My therapeutic approach begins with a curiosity that looks deeply into the negative beliefs you hold about yourself that are limiting your life. Through self-compassion, I can help you establish a view of yourself in order to bring awareness to the way you interact in the world. With your newly established awareness and self-acceptance, you can live and love with an authentic sense of purpose and connection.

I have worked in mental health for over 30 years, in a wide variety of professional settings. My professional training has been extensive, and includes degrees from Harvard University and the California School of Professional Psychology, as well as post-doctoral studies at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center. I'm an adjunct faculty member at the Center for Creative Leadership, the UCSD Department of Psychiatry, as well as with the Naval Medical Center Psychiatry Residency Program. I have also taught at several colleges as an adjunct faculty member.

As a psychotherapist, I believe utilizing evidence-based psychotherapy interventions are crucial in providing effective and ethical treatment. By incorporating these strategies, I am ensuring that my clients receive interventions that have been scientifically validated and have demonstrated positive outcomes. This approach also emphasizes the importance of tailoring treatment to the individual's unique needs and preferences.

Individual, couple and family therapy provided through the lens of Bowen Family Systems Theory.

Currently accepting new clients: adults ages 18+. Psychotherapy is an endeavor that can feel uncomfortable at times, but together we can work to troubleshoot your "hang-ups" and insecurities to smooth out your path ahead. I want to work with you on your gravitational pull towards relationships that end up causing you pain; on your grief and anxiety over feeling like you've dug yourself into an insurmountable hole; on your feelings of frustration with life and self-sabotage. Bring it to me and let's talk about it.

I chose social work and psychotherapy as a career because I have always enjoyed getting to know people, and sharing struggles, challenges and successes.

My name is Cara Weinstock and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who has experience working with children, teens, adults and couples.

We all have the capacity to grow, learn, and make positive changes no matter what life throws our way. Psychotherapy is a way of understanding personal conflicts and creating meaning through self-discovery. It is one of the first steps towards achieving change. My style of treatment aims at exploring and understanding ways of thinking, behaving and relating to others that are outside of the one's personal awareness. This lack of awareness can often result in repetitive patterns of behavior that leads to dissatisfaction and emotional anguish in a person's life.

I am a Certified EMDR therapist and Consultant. I am passionate about helping people let go of the pain of the past, live more fully in the present and develop hope for the future. When you've grown up in a abusive, chaotic, or dysfunctional household it can be really hard to move beyond your past without help. This is especially true if you struggle with any kind of dissociation. It's not that you're weak or unwilling, it's that you don't yet have the tools and the help to do so. I can help you with those tools, while holding space for the reality of the culture and systems we find ourselves in that may continue to cause harm.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who has been in practice for almost 30 years. I work with clients ranging in age from late adolescence to elderly adults. My focus is on how the brain, body and mind work (or not work so well!) together. I was born and raised in East Los Angeles, and I completed my doctorate at Pepperdine University. I have worked as a neuropsychologist, rehabilitation psychologist for those with physical disabilities and a drug/alcohol rehabilitation psychologist.

Hello, I was born and raised in Stockton, California. I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of 17 and in 1997, after 25 yeas of service, I retired from the Marine Corps as a Master Sergeant. After retiring from the Marine Corps, I worked as a Farrier (Horseshoer), as well as a structural welder (Ironworker), as those were the most marketable skill that I had. I came to a point where old injuries came back to haunt me and I could no longer walk (several years later, thanks to a surgery through the VA, I can walk again; thankful for that).
