Therapists in San Diego, CA

For over 20 years, I have been working with children, teenagers, and young adults to develop the skills necessary to navigate through life successfully. I assist clients in developing insight into their current life situation, broaden their ability to cope with some of life's greatest challenges, nurture their resiliency and developing effective communication skills. I use a combination of play therapy interventions, Animal Assisted Human Health (therapy dogs) and traditional talk therapy in my practice. I believe in a holistic approach and will collaborate with families and providers to ensure that the best treatment is provided.

Welcome! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing narrative therapy in California. I am committed to providing anti-racist, gender-affirming, respectful care to each person with whom I meet; and to help each person discover and remember the abilities they have, which can help them move through life despite the obstacles they may encounter. I am passionate about standing alongside the individuals, couples, and families I collaborate with against the problems that show up in their lives.

Hello, I'm Billy. I'm passionate about supporting teens, couples, families, and adult individuals. I strive to create a safe space using warmth, humor, and unconditional positive regard where clients can be their true, authentic selves. I completed a dual master’s degree in Marriage Family Therapy and School Counseling from St. Mary’s College of California. I then relocated to Southern California in 2021 and could not be happier to have discovered the paradise of San Diego.

I work collaboratively with individuals, couples and families to create a path toward specific goals for therapy. Throughout the years I have worked with people from all different walks of life, and I believe in the importance of individualizing treatment to each person and their experiences. I have extensive knowledge of eating disorders and have assisted people of all ages in better understanding and overcoming their disordered eating behaviors. I understand how alcohol and drug addiction, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from parts of yourself and others.

Hello! My name is Abigail Hermanus, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the Southern California region who offers services statewide via telehealth. As a therapist, my hope and passion is to foster a practice that brings hope to the community by maintaining compassion and upholding a multi-cultural posture in elevating each person's strength and narrative.

One of my favorite parts about therapy is the openness to explore what you've been through, where you are, and where you'd like to go. It’s important that my clients feel safe and understood as we collaborate to find what is needed whether that be peace, healing, joy, energy, or whatever else you are seeking. I am experienced in helping folks with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and life transitions.

Hello, I'm Christina. I care deeply about my clients and try to create an affirming space for all. I specialize in working with families, children, teens, and young adults. I enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community and people experiencing trauma disorders, anxiety, depression, adoption and attachment issues, behavioral challenges, and other life and relationship stressors. My approach is trauma-informed and strength-based. I help my clients work toward their goals while feeling safe and connected with themselves and others.

Empowering you to understand the "why" behind your struggles and create the "how" of moving forward is my goal. Through a narrative approach, I support my clients in building self-compassion and integrate somatic experiencing to feel grounded and embodied. The experience of being seen and understood creates a space to release shame, trauma, and stress. I specialize in working with women ready to overcome anxiety, people-pleasing, and relationship issues. Treatment goals often include healthy boundary setting, ending self-sabotaging, and building confidence.

Hello! I provide therapy for youth, families, and individuals and have worked with various populations. I believe that everyone deserves a sense of belonging and a safe place to land while navigating life's challenges. I have experience treating complex trauma, family conflict, peer conflict, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, the impacts of social media/devices, and parenting challenges. I understand that everyone's mental health journey looks different. No matter what you may be facing, I would be honored to walk alongside you through it.

I believe that we all need someone to talk with who really listen and accept us as we are, without judgement. I provide my clients with that warm, nonjudgmental environment—a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing you from living the life you want. I have had the opportunity to work with clients from all parts of the world, from different cultures and with diverse ideas about parenting, marriage, love, sexuality, gender identity and spirituality. I pride myself on being straightforward and honest and aspire to help connect individuals with their preferred self.

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.

Hi there, I'm Rickey! I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 7 years. My Master's in Social Work focused on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality and how our different life experiences shape how we navigate our surroundings. I recognize my client's right to self-determination, and I want to empower my clients to collaboratively come up with their obtainable short-term and long-term plans and goals. Let's further explore together how to make better use of the tools we've been working with and perhaps add new additional tools to the toolbox or not.

From the unexpected challenges to finding fulfillment when overcoming a trial, every person deserves to be the hero of their own story.

I work with youth, adults, couples, and families to identify how this connection can lead to overcoming challenges and finding healing.
