Female Therapists in San Diego, CA

I work with couples to renew the fire in their love life and sexual relationship, couples affected by addiction, as well as couples who are no longer communicating or are on the brink of divorce. I counsel men and women who have experienced depression, anxiety, and OCD. I work with individuals dealing with grief, trauma, sexual abuse, and childhood or partner violence. I also work with parents and adolescents. I am a Certified Sex Therapist and a Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor.

We all know that the majority of dieters inevitably gain back all the weight they’ve lost and more. Emotional eating is a coping mechanism, a survival tactic. This self soothing technique is learned early in life to numb uncomfortable feelings. Dieting focuses on the external rather than the internal cues which fuel overeating. The repetitive cycle of gaining and losing weight leads to feelings of hopelessness, shame, failure, and desperation. In order to shift dysfunctional eating patterns, one must identify underlying experiences and belief systems that perpetuate emotional eating.

These are troubling times. We face unprecedented crises on multiple fronts, from ecological degradation, to global health concerns (covid-19), the visible fracturing of societal/governmental institutions, and assaults on women ’s reproductive liberty/sexual sovereignty. Feelings of instability, confusion, uncertainty, and anxiety are the new normal and we don’t know how to manage them. In fact, some of us may feel gaslighted when comparing our felt emotions/sensations with the perceived reality of the world - the business-as-usual paradigm encouraging us to keep our productivity high and our critical thinking/feeling low.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples and adolescents focused on eating disorders, mood disorders, relationships and women 's issues. My practice is focused on empowering the individual's voice and creating authentic connections in relationships.

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.

I care...Let me help. We will create a safe, non-judgmental space from which to begin the process of healing. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families who have challenges in substance abuse, anxiety, depression, borderline personality issues and relationship problems. I also enjoy working with the LGBT community, specifically with Transgender people and their families. My rich life experience (fancy language for I'm older) allows me to truly align with partners and families that have members who are transgender and to be an ally with transgender individuals as they transition.

You made it to the beginning of something life changing and awesome! Hello! I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Owner of Eudaimonia Therapy, Llc. I am compelled to share this journey in self awareness with you. My experience has been with individuals and families, experiencing a variety of mental health challenges; obsessive compulsive behaviors, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, aggression, co -dependency issues, trauma, etc. An area of interest is Women ’s Issues, connecting with our own inner strength, beauty and grace as Women , and embracing our feminine spirit.

Do you feel alone, sad, disconnected? Do you just need someone to talk to? You may feel like friends or family don't understand, or maybe you're afraid to tell anyone that your life isn't as "perfect" as it seems. You don't have to feel so alone. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and are yearning to feel grounded, there is hope. I offer a supportive environment where clients feel safe, trusted & understood. We can work together to come to new understandings about your feelings, relationships, & behavior patterns.

Are there times you feel overwhelmed? Are you struggling with relationship issues? Life presents all of us with mental, emotional and psychological challenges at times. Let me help you explore situations in your relationships that may seemed unbearable while we find ways to free you from your current struggles. I help women who are tired of pleasing everyone. I work with couples how to overcome marital struggles. I help men and women go from feeling stuck in some areas of their lives to achieving success.

Anxiety and stress can get in the way of living your best life. Taking the step to start therapy may be uncomfortable, but being willing and open to try new things can lead to growth and allow you to live a life that is important to you. It is my priority to provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you can begin this process. Working together, we can find ways to overcome difficulties and build meaning in your life. I want to help you find your true self and live the life you want to lead.

If you desire change and healing in areas of your life, I would love to walk alongside you in the counseling room to unpack your story and help you explore what that healing could look like. My aim is to provide a safe, compassionate, and authentic space for you to feel seen and known as you process your present and past. If you're hoping to address traumatic memories and PTSD symptoms, I also provide EMDR therapy as a specialized option for working through trauma and distressing experiences.

T-Spoon Therapy is a place where you will find a safe space to share, process and heal from what has been holding you back in life.  Clients have reported that simply hearing themselves share their experiences with another who is supportive, safe, understanding and accepting is what has given them the clarity needed to move through and beyond their personal struggles.  

*Happiness, love, abundance, health and healing!* Counseling, coaching and consulting to manifest your best life because you deserve...All The Things! I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist for over 10 years in both California and Hawaii. Offering individual, couples, family and group therapy, I have worked with all populations, offering support in all areas from substance abuse therapy to school based behavioral health. My passion is working with women and girls to build self esteem, cultivate self empowerment and help bring about the change to manifest your best life.

I work with women who have recently experienced a traumatic event and help them return to a sense of normal. I also work with women who have experienced traumas in the distant past but who have been feeling chronically anxious, depressed, out of control and/or hopeless. Perhaps you cannot remember the last time you did not feel anxious or depressed. Or perhaps your body being in stress for so many years has created health issues. Or perhaps you have turned to compulsive behaviors to escape or numb the pain such as over drinking, over eating, perfectionism, codependency, dieting, binge watching TV and more.

No one is an expert more on your life than you. However, sometimes inviting in trusted support helps you get perspective on your fears, disappointments, and confusion about next steps in life. No matter the season of life, asking for help is both courageous and what moves you forward. Your resiliency and your strengths are how you navigate through life’s challenges. You and your loved ones are not a diagnosis; being human is not a flaw but a strength to be honored.

I am an Intuitive Life Coach; women seek me out who want to grow their Self Love, improve their self-esteem, self-worth, their relationships, own their power, and stand in their greatness. Women who know they deserve more, are under performing, who see a larger version of themselves and want to be paid what they are worth. I help you call forth your inner guidance and help you use your intuition to have more fulfillment, joy and happiness in life.

Cultivating mindful awareness, embracing our needs and strengths, and connecting to the opportunities around us can help increase our sense of peace and joy in our life. I am a client-centered therapist, I see my role as that of an empowering support and an ally in this process. I specialize in work with youth and families who are dealing with a mental health condition as well as young men and women who seek support for parenting, relationship conflict or transition into adulthood (single life, dating, career, relocation, cultural identity).

I work well with people who are seeking improvement on the following issues: relationship issues whether it be husband-wife, cohabitants, mother-daughter/son, father-son/daughter, co-parenting, or divorce mediation. I also have experience with substance abuse issues and dual diagnosis as well as co-dependency. Self-esteem is often a struggle with many teens and young women and this is another area of expertise. Anger issues are commonly found in men and this too is an area in which I can offer professional help. I welcome you to contact me to see if we are a good fit.

Life is stressful; and women experience this in unique ways. Trauma, loss, early childhood experiences, recurrent behaviors, career stress, and body and life-cycle changes can result in difficulties with a woman 's self-esteem, relationships, mood, sexuality, spirituality, and health. Similarly, couples can develop patterns of relating from early experiences which result in conflict, loneliness and despair. Therapy provides deeper insight into our needs, choices, beliefs, behaviors, and emotions. Dr. heinzelmann focuses on offering the tools needed to move toward emotional and spiritual wholeness.
