Therapists in San Diego, CA

My name is Teresa Trias, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I offer an integrated approach in order to tailor my interventions to each unique person and circumstance. I also have specialized training in helping people make health behavior changes, learn the tools and skills needed to increase stress management, and recover from difficult and traumatic past experiences.

My passion lies in collaborating with young adults, families, and women in a transition of life. Clients often turn to me for support and guidance during periods of heightened stress, or at point of overwhelm for ongoing challenges. They want new coping skills and effective communication strategies to acquire sustained peace. Together, we set goals, and gradually integrate aligned supportive behaviors into their life, or view of self. We do so at the pace needed to ensure these new strategies become familiar and effective tools of change for the client.

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.

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.

Are you exhausted from being hyper-independent, a perfectionist, workaholic, and feeling like you can’t rely on anyone else? I work with high achievers who are battling feelings of inadequacy, anxiety and overthinking. I use EMDR and IFS approaches to help you address anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment and relationship issues. Are you ready to take control of your life, uncover self-love, live authentically and find balance? As a survivor of the Las Vegas shooting I know first hand what it takes to heal through unthinkable events. Trauma does not need to be a life sentence and healing is absolutely possible.

Sharing our inner experiences with someone can often feel frightening, which is exactly why I place such an importance on connection and acceptance in the therapeutic process. I aim to create a safe environment that will invite my clients to delve deeper into their personal narrative, as I truly believe we are not built to process emotions alone. As humans, we all have a propensity to grow and become our true selves, unfortunately we aren’t always gifted with the circumstances to allow it. I am passionate about creating a space for not only self-discovery and self acceptance, but to allow clients to feel seen, heard, and valued.

Sitting with oneself, whether in individual, couple or family therapy, is not easy and I see my clients as courageous and hopeful for taking this step. Sometimes therapy is healing and transformational, other times it is simply a space to take some deep breaths. Either way, my practice is always client-centered and compassion-based, being present with you in whatever space you are in. My hope in working with me is that you develop a sense of self-compassion and a strength-based lens to view yourself and your relationships through.

Sometimes our best life can feel out of reach. A part of us feels stuck in cognitive or relational patterns that served us at one time, but do not serve us well anymore. We want to make some changes, but we find ourselves stuck. Poet Mary Oliver asked the question, "What will you do with this one wild and precious life?" I'm here to listen as you figure out how you want to answer this question, and to witness the work you need to do to get there. Our best selves, living our best lives, are within reach.

I’m Hayley, an AMFT, experienced in working with individuals and couples. Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, high-achievement, hyper-independence, or trauma. They may notice a pattern of not feeling good enough, adequate, or worthy no matter how hard they try. This tends to impact their ability to rely on others, feel connected in their relationships, or authentically connect to themselves. Often my couples feel stuck in miscommunication, conflict, and disconnection. They feel alone even when together, angry, or perhaps sad that their relationship isn't what they imagined. Don't worry, there's hope.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with stress, anxiety and sadness? I am here to help. My approach is to meet people where they are in their healing journey and to support in moving beyond the places that make them feel stuck. I hold a compassionate, positive, and non-judgemental space for the individuals I work with and recognize the importance of feeling empowered and validated. Through a trauma-informed and strengths-based lens, I can assist with exploring how one can relate to their past and fears with curiosity, kindness, and courage.

I help couples and individuals explore how our past experiences influence our current behaviors and relationships. I believe that a deeper understanding of the connection between past and present builds compassion for ourselves and our partners, gives us greater insight into our relational patterns, and fosters self-awareness and change. I use a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach to help couples rebuild intimacy, connection, and trust, and to help individuals heal past traumas and work to meet personal and relational goals.

Hi! I am Dr. Tobi and I typically work with young adults presenting with a variety of concerns including anxiety, family or relationship issues, relational trauma (including narcissistic abuse), codependency, self-esteem issues, and depression. My approach to therapy involves a holistic and collaborative process; we will work together on your personal journey of growth, change, and empowerment. I integrate multiple therapeutic modalities to best fit your individual needs, including CBT, DBT, internal family systems, psychodynamic, attachment, and mindfulness-based approaches.

You might have an idea of how you'd like things to be different, but need a little help with knowing how to change. Maybe you are experiencing negative thoughts and overwhelming feelings, perhaps struggling to enjoy your relationships or are burning yourself out at work. You'd like to feel more at ease with yourself, more self-assured, and better able to get through a day with optimism about the future. It's easy to get stuck in certain mental, emotional, or behavioral patterns, and together we can untangle what is holding those patterns in place.

Are you struggling with anxiety, grief, depression, or just feel disconnected in your life? Do you feel sometimes like you are "too much" or misunderstood in your relationships? If you have experienced trauma, traditional talk therapy is often not enough for creating lasting change. A holistic, integrated approach allows you to tap into the body's innate wisdom. I assist individuals and couples in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship problems, sexuality, boundaries, self-esteem, spiritual and existential questions.

Helping and guiding those who have experienced trauma, including the trauma of being in narcissistic or other toxic and antagonoistic relationships, is my focus as a therpaist. My training, skills, and tools are honed to help people heal from these experiences. With the use of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), extensive training to treat all levels of dissociation (including DID), and regulating the nervous system to a more calm state, I can help my clients to manage the day to day much more effectively and start to live with more peace in their bodies and their lives.

Are you looking for a warm, non-judgmental space where you can work through the hard parts of your life? As your therapist, I'll collaborate with you to create a safe space for your authentic self to grow. I can utilize my knowledge of therapeutic skills and techniques to support you in your goals, while also recognizing that you are the expert of your own life and the most valuable resources are the strengths and resilience you already possess. I'm here to walk with you in your journey to a more fulfilling reality.

I work with clients who are dealing with lingering effects of childhood trauma, from bullying to abuse, and experiencing anger, anxiety, avoidance and depression. Clients who might have PTSD symptoms such as flashbacks or nightmares, triggers and problems with trust. Clients who have consistently formed bad relationships and unhealthy attachments.
