Therapists in San Marcos, CA

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who cares deeply about my clients and their healing. My goal is to help you identify and heal from trauma, past and present that prevents you from living your best life. In addition to cognitive and solution focused therapy, I am trained in somatic modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Hypnotherapy and LENS Neurofeedback. Because I believe everyone is uniquely designed, I use an integrated approach to therapy and work closely with you to create a customized treatment plan.

We work best with military, veterans, first responders and those "raging against the dying of the light" to work with both the individual and their partners relationship in group settings. Being a 12-Year Military Veteran and First Responder we understand how the military community prides itself on its closeness and camaraderie — its strength in numbers. But Veterans transitioning into civilian life after military service may be surprised to find themselves without the system of support that they have come to know and rely on. This thing we do so others may live, love, work and play well. Joe Whitcomb, PsyDc, LMFT AF Veteran

As your therapist, my primary goal is for you to feel safe and comfortable in an environment where you feel valued and understood. I have a warm, honest and empathic approach with my clients and believe that every person has the ability to heal and reach their true potential in life. My approach is eclectic, believing that every person is unique with their own life experiences and perceptions. It is for this reason that your experience in therapy will be tailored to your needs so that you can reach your goals in a supportive, nurturing environment.

I specialize in working with couples who are in conflict, who are in emotional pain and need help. I work with couples who are considering divorce but are not sure about separating. I help couples who keep having the same argument over and over and who get angry with each other often. I also have experience with couples where there has been infidelity and are in crisis. I also work with couples who want to prepare themselves for big transitions such as having kids, moving together, etc. I work with heterosexual couples and also have worked with many queer couples and interracial couples.

Hi, I am Kathyann Natalie Pierre, LMFT. It is my belief that our quality of life is directly related to the quality of relationships, ability to maintain relationships, life experiences, and knowledge we gain from our experiences. My use of different therapeutic approaches is based on the individual needs of my clients and on their unique circumstances.

As a client-centered therapist, your individual needs will determine which treatment modality will guide the therapy process. As a trauma-focused therapist, I utilize integrative approaches such as DBT, CBT, CCT, Emotional Focused Therapy, Parts work, Attachment Therapy, and Trauma Informed Care, with the goal of creating change and empowering growth in your life. Throughout treatment, I will assist you in reaching the best version of yourself, as you deserve.

Seeking support takes enormous courage. My approach is a balance of candidness and tenderness to meet your needs. I welcome feedback throughout our work to ensure we are on the right track and will continue to check in to support you in the best way possible. I use a trauma-focused lens- incorporating biological, social and psychological perspectives. Trauma modalities I incorporate, when appropriate, are Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, Attachment Focused Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mind-body medicine approaches.

My approach to therapy focuses on building the therapeutic relationship and supporting each client with an individualized treatment plan to support their needs. I am a trauma-focused therapist and believe presenting problems that bring people to therapy are rooted in earlier experiences. Brainspotting is a gentle yet effective neurobiological approach to treat symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic disorder, PTSD, attachment wounds, etc.

Do you find yourself struggling with a familiar theme repeatedly? Do you often feel triggered in your relationships that result in dynamics that keep you from feeling safe in? Is there a critical voice inside your head despite your hard work? You may be generous to help the people around you but struggle to be with yourself with the same kind of grace and kindness. I help people get unstuck from the place where they feel stuck, so they can be free from the effects of trauma and other difficult life circumstances. I want to help you find a sense of connection and peace within you and with the world around you.

Welcome! We all want to live life as our best selves, but that can be especially challenging during difficult times. I have over 25 years of experience helping children, teens, families, adults and couples build on their strengths and get clear about what they want for their futures. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I also utilize art therapy, Brainspotting (a brain based therapy that helps clients identify, process and release emotional and physical pain) and the Nurtured Heart Approach (a relationship based model that helps people focus on their successes rather than their failures, thereby increasing their Inner Wealth.)

We all need help sometimes. Navigating life's challenges with a compassionate guide can make all of the difference. If you are feeling lost or directionless, stuck in limiting patterns or beliefs or are searching for something more, I am here to help. I'd feel honored to collaborate with you to cultivate positive habits, resilience, and loving relationships that align with your values. I thoroughly love what I do and I am ready to provide support and encouragement on your healing journey.

My name is Uchechi Alozie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is seeing my client within their environment and not just the issues they are presenting. My approach is trying to aid my clients holistically. I have worked with family units for more than 10 years. And have worked with individuals with chronic mental illness for 6 years. My goal is to help clients by determining what is influencing and impacting the client in their environment rather than looking just at the presenting issues.

Whether you are dealing with an unexpected change, trauma, anxiety, health challenge, relationship stress, depression or other mental health issue, having a trusted guide on the path can make all the difference. Over the past 25 years I have found mind body therapies get to the root of where we get stuck and allow for positive change.

I assist individuals in overcoming their inner pain, and learning to face the challenges of life from a place of strength, compassion, and connection. As your ally in healing, I can help you process the emotions, memories and experiences that may underly your current suffering, so that you’re free to feel connected with yourself, with others, and with life. Sometimes past traumas become trapped in our bodies and minds, and we need help to feel safe in ourself and our relationships. My approach is based on these principles: Efficacy (I use Evidence Based modalities), collaboration, individualized care, and warm relational connection.
