Therapists in San Diego, CA

I have a private practice working one-to-one, in groups, and online with clients from all over the world, guiding others to un-cover possibilities and paths to life. I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, a Counselling Hypnotherapist, a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner, a Master Practitioner of NLP, a Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, and a helper with ceremonial medicine. Following both modern therapeutic methods as well as Indigenous modalities, I help others to un-cover what they come to know.

Hello, I am Sarah. I am passionate about serving the community, especially given my cultural background as the daughter of Lebanese immigrants. I am interested in making mental health services more accessible and catered towards diverse cultural backgrounds. I speak Arabic fluently and have experience conducting therapy in Arabic. I have worked with children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families in various therapeutic contexts, including domestic violence, abuse, mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, family conflicts, parenting challenges and life transitions.

Therapy is a precious and unique space, for a standard 45-50 minute block, you will virtually sit with me to process and uncover the profound and deeper parts of yourself. My role and objective is to create a warm and inviting place in which you feel safe to show up as you are, to feel all the emotionally charged feelings, and relate to yourself in a way you may have not ever known or seen in yourself – in a more kind, loving, compassionate, and graceful manner.

Riley works with individuals, couples, families, and groups on a wide range of issues, including relationship concerns, sexuality, depression, personal development, LGBT issues, parenting, finances, business & career and more.

Hello! I'm Lyss and so glad you're here! Before you read any further, please visit my website: www.lyssdelatorre.com. As your counselor, I will work to create a space for you to feel welcomed, protected and cared for. You will find the freedom to bring your truest self: all of your joys, shame and pain. Here we will walk together-at your pace-towards a deeper understanding of yourself in order to build an authentic life. I have found my passion in working with teens and adults who find themselves in painful places, whether from traumatic experiences or from the inner voices of shame, and working together towards healing and peace.

Can painful life challenges be transformed into healing opportunities? Is it possible to live with increased purpose and meaning after a major loss? Will you be strengthened by facing your fears? Since you are now seeking therapy, something inside of you must already trust that the answer to these questions is-YES!

Hi I’m Evelyn Serna-Balderas. I am a licensed clinical social Worker who appreciates and is motivated in working with individuals to navigate through challenges and experience growth in their journey.

I often engage clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, difficulty in life transitions, bipolar diagnosis, BPD, and dual diagnosis.

Do you feel like you go through the motions of your life, but lack a sense of satisfaction? Are you doing things that don't help you? Do you want to feel closer to those around you? Do you want a greater sense of control? Most of us don't choose to be unhappy or live in pain, but we need help to overcome the obstacles in life. In order to make life changes, you need someone to help identify the problem, develop a plan, and implement decisions. I can help you to use your strengths to overcome your personal challenges.

No matter all the work you have done, you continue to feel anxious or depressed and maybe both, who even knows the difference. Some days you are unable to quiet the inner critic whose voice reminds you of your parents. You realize that many of your relationships seem to be the same, the same patter, different person, all unhealthy. Despite all your hard work, you feel like you are failing at everything you do. And what is worst, you are tired of trying to find a different approach to healing, one that works.

It isn't always easy finding the right therapist. My hope in our work together is to first understand your needs, to listen intently, and then identify together what it is you would like to achieve. You are here because you want to work on things, and if you need it, I will be your accountability partner. I can help you set reasonable goals towards building a life where you feel satisfied and living out your deepest values.

Therapy for those wanting to break free from old patterns. Do you feel like you’ve been struggling with the same cycle of emotions for years and don’t know if it will ever get better? Have you ever felt like your problems aren’t “bad enough” for counseling? You may be highly functional in some areas of your life while below the surface you are struggling with some heavy feelings.

How do you envision your life? Are you struggling with co-parenting, relationship issues, anxiety or depression? It takes courage to envision and seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Therapy shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone has different problems with different skills and solutions that work best for them.

I strive to pursue an authentic relationship with my clients using strong communication skills and complete transparency. I believe each individual is an expert in their own life, and therefore collaboration is highly valued in my work process. I specialize in young adults, adults, couples, and families with emphasis on trauma, anxiety/depression, life transitions, and other personality disorders.

I think we all can have a time in our lives where we reach a problem or a series of problems and are faced with the question of "how do I get through this?" or "what should I do?" Regardless of what brought you to that crossroad, therapy is a useful means to help you figure out what to do next. Your time is important and your life is meant to be full of happiness. We all are transitioning from something and have to make the choice about what is best for us. Live your life and enjoy it.
