"We as human beings never transcend the need for human connection" Irvin D. Yalom..... Welcome, and Hello.. If current life circumstances have brought on more than you currently can manage on your own. You don't have to try to figure it all out alone. I have worked in the profession of mental health for over 20 years, in different capacities. I am currently licensed with the State of California as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Having a readiness, willingness, and ability to confront our issues can be scary, and hard. Having a roadmap and support allows us the confidence to face anything life throws our way.

Hello, I'm Michael F. Stample, PhD, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I work extensively with individual adults, couples and families. My primary expertise is in mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, dual diagnosis, LGBTQ+ and transgender healthcare. I mostly work with adults over age 17 or 18, through the later years. While psychiatric diagnoses have their uses, I prefer to see my clients as dealing with "problems of living." I work comfortably with psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and other evidence-based therapies. My early training included internship at the Jung Institute of Los Angeles.

Hi there, I'm Dr. Bryan Balvaneda, PhD, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in San Diego, California.

Teamwork makes the dream work and I'd like to accompany you on the moon with a fishing pole! Personal connection can be hard to come by & one of my goals is to create a genuine connection. It might appear impossible to connect with an individual, talk about life, and progress in personal development, but we got this! If you are looking for someone to walk with you on a journey of self-discovery and "aha" moments, I look forward to meeting you!
