Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in San Diego, CA

Welcome - you're here because you need and Help is Here! I am currently accepting clients who need help reducing/managing anxiety or depression and those behaviors/circumstances or relationships that increase related stressors. My goal is to help you reach your goals of having more in your life of what you want and less of what you don't want. To better serve you I offer early morning and evening appointments.

Hi there! I am Dr. Julie Badaracco and I work with adults on depression, anxiety, acculturation issues, identity development, trauma, time and stress management, and major life transitions. I genuinely enjoy working with individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds and will work to incorporate your cultural identity and values into your therapy. My therapy approach is collaborative in nature as I strive to understand who you are and your unique concerns. I value a strong working relationship, as I believe that to experience growth and healing you must feel that you can trust me and speak openly.

Welcome to Whole Integration Therapy! I'm Emily Walton, and I am a Licensed Clinicial Professional Counselor (LPCC). I work from a Relational approach to understand how your past is impacting your present. Working together, we can try new ways of relating in a safe and confidential space. While it is beneficial to work beyond the past, we must first know what we are working with. Once known, we move into targeted skills that focus on boundary development, interpersonal skills, communication, challenging unhelpful thoughts, self esteem/self concept/self identity, secure attachment within the therapeutic relationship.

Reaching out for help can be challenging for many. As psychotherapy aims at positive changes you desire, I am honored to provide a safe place for your self-exploration and reflection in which you can gain your inner peace and change you long for. Being specialized in trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse and domestic violence, I can offer some resolution in your trauma work. Trauma can penetrate not only your emotional well-being but also almost every facet of your life. My warm and peaceful presence would guide you through an effective treatment you deserve. My other specialties include performance anxiety, and psychological impotence (ED).

As your provider, I will be honest, empathetic, and thoughtful in feedback. I will actively collaborate with you to help you take steps toward your goals. My purpose as your counselor is to provide you with the support you need.

Hi there! Thank you for being here, and congrats on taking the first steps towards healing and self-discovery! I'm here to work with and support you through life's ever evolving challenges through curiosity, compassion, and empathy. I believe that our early significant relationships, as well as difficult situations in the past play a role in the way we navigate issues in the present. I aim for therapy to be a warm and welcoming space where you can feel at ease discussing these experiences.

Do you find yourself shut down or suppress your feelings? Do you struggle in relationships due to your trauma? Are you unsure of where you belong? I work with people of all identities to process unresolved feelings due to trauma. I strive to provide you a safe and non-judgmental space, in order for you to develop coping mechanisms for trauma symptoms (anxiety, depression, addiction, etc.) and to explore aspects of yourself. I can help you let go of Past HURTS and develop tools to find RELIEF.

Currently accepting new clients - Life is a journey. Along this ride, it may feel like you are stuck in uncertain and dark places longer than you'd like to be. If you're looking for a tune up to help you feel limitless, to regain your stride, I'm here to embark on this healing chapter with you. Whether that be burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship stressors, there can be many unexpected barriers along the way.

I know how difficult it can be to reach out for support when you need it most, so, let me first start off by saying that I appreciate the courage you have shown by taking this first step towards finding a therapist that will meet your needs. I am passionate about working with people who are dealing with life/relationship stressors, experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety, or are struggling with body image, overeating, binge eating, or bulimia nervosa. I take a strengths-based approach and work collaboratively with my clients to understand their goals for therapy which allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Congratulations on starting your journey to change! Have you been feeling stuck with accomplishing goals or promoting long term change? Have you been through multiple types of providers without feeling satisfied with your progress? The pressures of today can feel daunting. Balancing our work, social life, families, finances, physical health, and mental health is no small feat. We are bound to burn out without the proper relationships and support from those who can hold accountable and push us to dig deeper.

Accepting CA clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed with life's daily stressors? Do you find that you are not where you want to be in you life? Do you sometimes find yourself anxious, depressed or feeling hopeless and out of balance? A history of trauma, addictions, compulsions, suicidal thoughts, self-harm and other life-interfering behaviors can do that. Together, we will work on removing the emotional, cognitive and behavioral barriers that keep you from achieving your personal goals. My mission is to help you achieve your best self by helping you identify where you are now and create a plan to work towards where you want to be.

I incorporate a collaborative approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-focused, client-centered, and Dialectical modalities.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? Our various experiences can have an impact on this; from day to day stressors to trauma, our emotions can become difficult to manage, resulting in difficulty in our lives, including in our relationships, in managing emotions, in our thoughts, in our goals, and in our responsibilities.

Are you experiencing a very challenging time in your life? Does it feel like you can't see your way back to you? Is it hard to recognize who you are from the way you feel? I can be there for you when it seems like the darkest, most difficult time in life. Many of my clients have told me that I am mothering and nurturing as a therapist. I approach therapy from a caring and compassionate perspective, more so after I became a mother of three children. Together we can use DBT techniques to help you reconnect with the things that are important to you and help you get back to being the person you want to be with the life you want to live.

In our work together, my essential goal is that you feel heard, respected, and understood. I find that one of the most important predictors of effective therapy starts with the relationship between client and therapist. I consider my role as your therapist an honor. I aim to create a comfortable, inviting, and safe space for you to share, and for us to work collectively. I feel your voice is just as, if not more, valuable than mine. With over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, I am confident that working collaboratively, you will find our time together beneficial.
