Life Coaching Therapists in Old Town, San Diego, CA

Pornography addiction can have a significant impact on your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal and relational struggles that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media used to reduce stress and boredom is hard to stop even when it’s destroying your life and relationships

We use to have hard times whenever faced by difficulties that challenge our ego. Most of the time, we tend to avoid coping with these challenges, or we do deal with them in destructive ways, mainly because of not having learned more assertive functional ways to take care of ourselves, relationships and circumstances in life. My approach is focused on promoting your insight about why you think, feel and react the ways you do, supporting you to take advantage of your own potentials, improve skills and guiding you on taking good care of your core needs and expectations.

Being diagnosed with a chronic illness &/or acquiring a disability can brings dramatic life change for you and your loved ones. A new prognosis, sudden trauma, congenital health condition, or the gradual onset of a life with imposed limits can bring isolation, overwhelm, & clueless as you seek to figure out how you will navigate your new “normal." Like most people who fall ill or encounter disability, you have no blueprint for how to move forward to recover a meaningful life for yourself.

Hi! We all experience seasons in our life of feeling stuck, which often bring out hopelessness. Our experiences contribute to personal growth, and I am passionate about helping others overcome the obstacles that can otherwise feel impossible. I have extensive experience working with those struggling with eating disorders, and navigating the hardships in recovery. I love working with couples to focus on improving communication and strengthening their relationships, as well as with individuals struggling with mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and general life dilemmas.

Life is beautiful, and helping clients see that vision again has become my passion. I believe in creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel seen, heard, and validated.

Grief is our natural response to loss. It is not a disorder, nor does typical grief necessitate therapeutic treatment. Grief is a normal human experience that needs to be felt and processed. But sometimes our grief becomes stalled or derailed because healthy grieving has not been modeled or taught. Grief is meant to be an active process, a life skill that can be learned - rather than a passive experience to be endured. I offer professional guidance that helps people struggling with loss to discover where or why their unique grief journey got off track, and find their way back to the path where they can move forward through loss.

I love working with professionals, students, and academics who, despite their intellectual prowess, are encountering difficulties in emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and existential issues. Because of my IT background, I especially like working with gamers, programmers, and introverts. Whether it is setting up a personal SLA for how you want to interact in relationships, applying RPG and other gaming paradigms to life, or having familiarity with life in the corporate world, we can quickly develop a shared understanding and language that reflects your world.

Are you ready to get control of your anxiety, create healthy daily habits & start really living your best life?!

If you're on a journey of healing, learning to love yourself, feel healthier inside & out & create a life that feels authentic to you, I'd love to support you. All sessions are held online at this time.

I believe the therapeutic alliance is one of the most important aspects of therapy. I tailor my approach to meet your needs, as I feel it is important to find what works for you, not what “should” work. Utilizing unconditional positive regard and empathy, I hope to encourage a feeling of self-love and acceptance. I believe that growth happens in many different areas, and I aim to help you create change that affects all aspects of your life. By working together, we can help identify your natural strengths, and learn simple ways to enhance your life and relationships, for results that are sustainable and long-term.

I am a spiritually-oriented Jungian therapist. I believe we are all here for a reason, part of which is to thrive and help others thrive as well. I would love to help you heal and achieve your life’s purpose. You have been just surviving for too long; it’s time to start thriving.

I am committed to reducing human suffering and enhancing the experience of life as a joyful event. Do you want to learn to live your life better? Do you find yourself thinking too much about the past or worrying too much about the future? Are you faced with stressful life challenges such as a new diagnosis, a disability, or conflict at work or in your relationships? Psychotherapy offers something no other discipline does: A person who listens to you without judgment and fosters understanding. Psychotherapy can also be a place to learn new skills to improve your daily life.

Do you find your emotions to be overwhelming or avoid difficult emotions altogether? Are you struggling to feel comfortable being with yourself or with others, find it difficult to connect, feel numb, or simply don't want to feel anything? Feel trapped by your fears, or feel like life is unfulfilling, like something is missing? Sometimes the tools that once helped us to survive keep us from thriving. I can help you with your anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family issues, life stressors, burnout, and any kind of life transition. My goal is to help you figure out how to tune in, feel deeply, and live your life fully.

I believe the mind-body connection is essential, and that the stories we tell ourselves create our lives. Together we will strive for empowerment, coping skills, authentic living, and more trust in your ability to manage life's difficulties.

Are you a perfectionist? Does life feel more reassuring when it's predictable and orderly? In a world filled with uncertainty, our brains naturally resist the unknown. If you have been struggling emotionally, feeling down, constantly on edge, increasingly fearful or irritable, reach out for help. Managing stress is easier with the right tools and support. Born and raised in Poland, I've called San Diego home since 2002. Along with BA and MSW degrees from SDSU, I bring over a decade of mental health expertise to the table.

Is Anxiety taking a toll on your daily life? Do you overthink and get caught up in a spiral of thoughts? I understand, professionally and personally, it can be overwhelming. Do you want to feel empowered to take control? As a dedicated therapist, my mission is to provide guidance, teaching, and healing in a safe space so you can build effective coping skills, learn how to work with that anxiety to reduce it and develop a stronger sense of self and confidence. Life has its ups and downs and it's time to develop tools for when those waves get real big to remind you of your strengths and resources to ride that crest. You deserve it!

Navigating our own emotions, life experiences, responsibilities, and relationships with others, all at the same time, is an exhausting process! We live in a society where it's commonplace for us to prioritize our obligations over even our most basic needs, at times. So when it comes to fulfilling each other's needs for love, belonging, and connection- we may notice ourselves feeling out of sync and continually misunderstood instead. We are complex beings. Relationships are even more complex. Typically the best way to achieve clarity is by bringing in a new perspective.
