Therapists in San Diego, CA

Is something in your life not working? Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, chronic pain? Are you stuck in a relationship that does not work or a job you don't like? I believe that therapy is a journey. I am here as your guide first in identifying what is keeping you stuck and then providing you the tools to move on. In so many ways we define who we are by our stories. And why not? They do contribute to who we are but often we can get so attached to them we can't move foward.

Hello and thank you for being here. Has your world and experiences left you feeling sad, used, alone, or hopeless? Sometimes those outcomes can lead to depression, anxiety, trauma or thoughts of just not being here. What has happened to you can impact how you feel about yourself, others, feeling lost and confused, or wondering how to start over. I strive to provide a space to hear you. We will work together to create an approach that you feel best fits your journey no matter where you start. My focus is Trauma Informed Care, Mood/Anxiety, PTSD and Narcissistic Abuse and Recovery. I am here for you.

Hello, I'm Dr. Katrin Seifert PsyD (pronouns: she/her) a licensed psychologist, board certified in Clinical Health Psychology, whose areas of interest and expertise include health psychology, the effects of long-term trauma and stress, and working with adolescents, LGBTQ+ individuals, and culturally diverse populations. I practice from an anti-racist perspective with a focus on equity. I completed my graduate training at the University of Denver, Graduate School of Professional Psychology. For the past 12 years, I have worked in primary care settings addressing a wide array of physical, mental, and behavioral concerns.

Sometimes we have struggles from our past that are making it difficult to cope with our daily lives. You may be thinking, “Nothing that bad happened in my childhood, others have had it much worse than I did”. Your experiences are valid and can cause a variety of symptoms, including anxiety and depression. It may feel overwhelming to experience all these emotions on your own, therapy can help to bridge that gap into achieving your goals.

You're a people-pleaser, a peacemaker, a caretaker, a fixer, a perfectionist, and the best friend/partner/daughter/co-worker anyone could imagine. Yet somehow you feel anxious and depressed all the time. You are drained, secretly resentful of others that get their needs met, and uncertain of your own feelings, thoughts, and needs and what to do with them. Or maybe you do know what you need but never seem to get around to taking care of yourself. After years of going without getting your needs and wants met, you've hit a breaking point and are desperately ready to make a change.

Hi there! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in both Couples Therapy, and Eating Disorder treatment at an outpatient level of care. Through a client-centered approach, my passion lies in restoring disruptions in early childhood attachment, and helping those identify negative thought patterns, core beliefs, and emotions that have led to maladaptive coping behaviors. If you are either feeling exhausted from the shame towards your body and want freedom from disordered eating, or are longing to strengthen your relationship and communication with a loved one, I would love to create that space for you!

I'm Gail Braverman, a Marriage and Family Therapist, group facilitator, and workshop presenter.

My clients describe me as warm, realistic, and caring, someone who has a good sense of humor.

Confronting the challenges that accompany our lives can be daunting and result in a deviation from the expectations we have of ourselves and those with whom we interact. I am here to assist you in the process to heighten awareness and gain more meaningful and fulfilling experiences in your life through psychotherapy. I utilize the DAFT (Depth & Freedom Therapy) approach that combines various counseling theories and techniques, philosophical tenets, and spiritual teachings to collaborate with clients in order to strengthen individual identity while considering the impact of past experiences, modern day socio-cultural influences, and current personal issues.

I provide assessment, individual and group therapy for men who are experiencing Out of Control Sexual Behavior.

I have a unique ability to connect with people. Sometimes there are people that have a hard time clarifying what their thoughts and feelings are. They get confused. They hear voices in their head. They think people are making fun of them because they are born different. It can be really hard for Their own families to help. I help their families achieve common ground . Teenagers know I am real even if I tell them things they don’t want to hear. I have assisted many young adults make the difficult transition to adulthood. Older adults know that I want to hear about their life and assist them with the challenges of getting old.

Movement and healing are possible! Sometimes we get stuck. I love working with people who desire to experience freedom from the impact of old wounds and unsatisfying relationship patterns. I provide short and long term therapy for people who are desiring to process trauma or disturbing life events, such as accidents, sudden loss of loved ones, and past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. I also work with people who desire to navigate life transitions well, examine unhelpful patterns in their life that get in the way of thriving, and experience relief from anxiety.

I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are creative yet highly anxious and depressed. Innovators find an improved capacity to create with informed anxiety management. I am a harm reductionist who embraces the belief that addiction is a brain disease and not a character defect and that persons with addictive illness need more clinically-informed care. I support authenticity for both the client and the therapist, understanding that little can hurt us when we are at peace with the truth of our own stories.

I LOVE what I do. My passion is to help individuals grow and heal while they navigate the everyday tasks of careers, family life, and being in relationship with others. I have extensive training and supervision in Emotionally Focused Therapy.

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.

Fuck! Is this as good as it gets? Changes, traumas, relationships, stressors, expectations, life! I dodge right, to get hit from the left. I come up for air, to be pulled back into the current. And sometimes, I just can’t even.
