Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, also known as a connection reviver and hope restorer. As a Native American woman and a transplant to San Diego, I bring a unique perspective to my work, rooted in my belief that we are capable of change. If you are grappling with anxiety or depression related to work, relationships, or your adult relationship with your parents, I'm here to support you. I specialize in helping individuals like you navigate the complexities of modern living, offering tailored support to address anxiety & depression, and guide you toward feeling better in yourself and in your relationships.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 30 years and have a wealth of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I have been trained in psychodynamic therapy, family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dilaectial behavior therapy. I believe that people have the innate ability to improve their lives when given focused therapeutic attention. My goal as a therapist is to help people develop skills to manage whatever life may bring them. I use emperically based treatment methods, a belief in the strength of the human spirit and a sense of humor to work with clients.

Life can be difficult at times and hard to navigate. The good news is it doesn't have to be this way! I assist couples and individuals to work through life's challenges by utilizing their strengths, exploring areas of growth and creating a new chapter in their life. We will work together to understand the patterns that have persisted and work towards healing. Despite the coronavirus regulations, I am an "essential service provider" in California and continue to meet with clients via telehealth. Please contact me to schedule an appointment.

"Life is difficult. . . a series of problems." Scott Peck wrote in Roadless Traveled. I can't describe it any better, but there are so many possibilities, changes that can happen when you take a step of courage. Therapy is a good way for some self reflection, to face the challenges, accept it and be at a better place. I believe that challenges are opportunities, for growth and strength; you can't do this alone, social psychology says. Let me help, to provide a safe place for connection and empathy to take that step, explore what may be holding you down and how you can be free and to live the best that you can be.

I enjoy working with people struggling with trauma, major life changes, and those trying to find out who they are. I have experience working with Veterans, those struggling with addiction, and family/friends who find themselves as caregivers for another. Whatever you're struggling with, I have found that every client has something beautiful and exciting to discover within them.

Life can feel chaotic. Whether you are considering your first time in treatment, continuing or returning to treatment, my goal is to provide you with the platform and skills to effectively evaluate, identify and create solutions to help you. It’s important to remember that therapy is not always about ‘fixing’ a problem. Sometimes, it is about learning how to work with the problem by creating awareness, strengthening insight, developing or broadening skills you already have. It is a joint effort between the therapist and the client, working together, to impact change and bring balance to what may otherwise feel out of control.

I am currently seeing patients online and in our San Diego office. Please e-mail me or feel free to text/call me on (619) 510-0005 to make an appointment.

Hi, I'm Lei Raiza! I’m an Associate Clinical Counselor, but you might also call me a self-healing supporter and wellness enthusiast. I help clients who want to get started on their healing and wellness journey but don’t know or where to begin. So much of what happens to us in our life is kept silent because of shame or embarrassment- and the fear that no one will really understand what we are going through. I provide clients with a safe space where they can express themselves, process through the pain and overcome the barriers blocking their full potential.

I help clients interrupt patterns in relationships, set boundaries, confront codependency and learn to have healthy intimacy. My ideal client is someone willing to make healthy changes to their lives in order to improve their overall wellbeing. I have experience working with clients who have depression, anxiety and are struggling with intimacy issues and trauma. I enjoy helping clients learn how to set healthy boundaries so they can have more fulfilling relationships. I take particular interest in helping women develop healthy relationship patterns and fully process prior relationships.

Have you tried talk therapy and still feel stuck or overwhelmed? Talk therapy can be helpful however there are other evidenced based therapies, such as EMDR, that can transform your life with lasting results that relieve you from the pain that you are experiencing by focusing on brain-body connection. I treat adults 18+ who struggle with PTSD, childhood trauma, depression, feelings of hopelessness, fear of abandonment, anxiety, panic attacks, relationship issues, and more. I use a holistic, integrative approach to focus on the whole-person and address mind, body, spirit, as they are all inter-connected.

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.

Are you wanting to reach out for help, but keep telling yourself you ‘should’ be able to solve everything on your own? Are you pressuring yourself to muscle your way out of depression or anxiety? Then why would we each be sharing Earth with more than 7 BILLION other people if we are supposed to handle everything all by ourselves? I believe it is because we ARE meant to help each other! Since graduating in 1986 with a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and then earning my license as a MFT in 1990, I count myself lucky to have worked with the many adults, children, teens, families and couples whose paths have crossed mine.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad, worried, or currently having a difficult time with a transition period? I know how difficult making changes in your life can be.

I am a psychotherapist based in Orange County, California, and have been providing mental health support services in various settings since 2012. I am motivated and passionate to serve clients in further developing their personal journey of self-growth/self-discovery.

I enjoy traveling and experiencing new countries and cities. Planning travels is my hobby, I am an itinerary queen! I enjoy hearing of other's goals and plans for their future. I love motivating others and in another life I would be a great motivational speaker. I like to read about fictional worlds and enjoy playing some tunes on my guitar. I attend the occasional open mic and enjoy playing along with my husband. As a true San Diegan, my love for oat milk lattes and walks by the beach is my favorite Saturday activity.

You do not need to be on this journey alone. As a therapist, my goal is to understand your goals as deeply as possible. This will mean changing the way you think, feel, and act on a daily basis. Over time you'll develop useful strategies to modify your thoughts and behaviors. We will know our work is done when you are thriving in the life that you envision. You will take our work with you after we end and reap the benefits throughout your life.
