Therapists in San Diego, CA

We all have challenges. We all need a supportive and non-judgmental helping hand from time-to-time. I'm Dr. Jeff Riffle, a CA Licensed Clinical Psychologist. Allow me the opportunity to provide that help. I see men and women online from all across California and am available evenings and weekends. I specialize in helping adults manage a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD (including sexual abuse), ADHD, OCD, low self-esteem, chronic illness, life transitions, grief & loss, masculinity issues, military lifestyle concerns, and first responder/law enforcement challenges. I also provide couple’s counseling.

As a psychologist, writer, and trauma survivor, it's my passion and privilege to help others overcome life-changing tragedies. I'm dedicated to helping people make sense of the painful experiences that have shaped their lives. Over decades of education and personal exploration, I've had the good fortune to put together some of the essential pieces in life's puzzle. My new book, "Daddy" —which the The San Francisco Chronicle calls "“a thoughtful and expansive biography of PTSD” and “a compelling narrative of familial history"— draws from these experiences to explore violence, identity, and personal and collective trauma in America.

The therapeutic relationship is vital when embarking on this journey of opening and courageously facing some of our deepest pains. My process involves assisting you in locating your wisdom, and helping generate a life full of meaning and acceptance - while honoring your unique story. It also is important to respect and integrate the intersectionality of your identity during this process. I know how important feeling recognized, seen, and heard can be. Whether needing to process trauma, life-transitions, anxiety or depression, how to develop better boundaries, concerns regarding sexuality and gender, relationship concerns, and more.

Do you often feel disconnected from others? Do you pretend to be “fine” while you’re actually struggling on the inside? Do you have a hard time managing your symptoms? I understand your pain. I specialize in working with people with trauma and PTSD, as well as grief, burnout, and stress. I have many years of experience working with mental health providers and other healthcare professionals. I am a LGBTQIA-affirming provider; I also work with creatives (artists, writers, illustrators, musicians, etc) who struggle with the “Imposter Syndrome.”

It isn't always easy finding the right therapist. My hope in our work together is to first understand your needs, to listen intently, and then identify together what it is you would like to achieve. You are here because you want to work on things, and if you need it, I will be your accountability partner. I can help you set reasonable goals towards building a life where you feel satisfied and living out your deepest values.

The first step on the path to healing can be the hardest. Often times, we feel fragile, whether it be from past trauma, debilitating depression, anxiety, conflictual relationships, and the overall stresses attributed to life. Sometimes we feel surrounded by people who look but do not see us, hear but do not listen or understand which can lead you to feel isolated, disconnected, and misunderstood. Therapy is a space to navigate this desolate plane, a place to help you achieve a more fruitful and fulfilling connection with yourself and others. I have experience working with couples, individuals and families.

If you have arrived here you're looking for a safe place to unpack. Maybe your coping strategies are being tested and your relationships strained. You need and deserve all the support you can get. Here in the safety and peace of my office you will find that you do not have to go through your anxiety, depression, trauma and pain alone. You can make meaning out of suffering. You will see that your sense of hopelessness is an illusion, that your feelings of worthlessness can be unlearned, that your unhealthy habits can be replaced and that you are loved.

Perhaps you are feeling frustrated, feeling misunderstood and not yourself lately. Maybe you are a first-time parent (or fourth!) navigating how to juggle all your other identities with your new parent role. Maybe you are trying to work out some generational differences with your parents. Maybe you just want to be able to talk to your partner, sibling, in-laws, or metamour and feel seen, heard, and understood. If you are struggling to be on the same page with your loved ones and are interested in creating a more harmonious relationship, I am here for you. Whatever it may be, I am here to listen.

I believe everyone has an innate healing capacity & through compassion, we can navigate to the other side of shame. I have worked extensively with issues of childhood & adult traumas & how these painful experiences have affected how we relate to ourselves & others. I specialize in working with PTSD, anxiety, depression, & grief, and psychedelic integration. I am especially passionate about working with people who are open & willing to do deep work & interested in somatic therapy. I also enjoy working with those who are interested in using therapy to explore topics like having a life of meaning and spirituality. I work with ages 30+.

Therapy is a journey of self-introspection, leaning into difficult matters and coming out better as a result. I will be your guide as you walk this path of looking inward to change or let go of those things that don't serve you. It's an uncovering of the good that is within and implementing strategies to maintain a life full of joy, contentment, and peace. I will help you uncover your values (what is important to you) and assist in taking committed action towards those values with skills such as mindfulness, opposite action, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance.

My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered that promotes a nonjudgmental stance, genuineness , and empathy. I believe patients have the answers within themselves, and my job is to help them find these answers and actualize their potential. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who experience challenges including but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, stress, relationships, personal growth, life transitions, and cultural and spiritual issues.

I work with individuals, adolescents, couples and families who desire to live a better life and have connection in their relationships. Did you know that "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional" (. I didn't. Everyone experiences suffering. Learning how NOT to suffer is life changing. We'll explore the beliefs and meanings that were created during your socialization. You'll learn simple tools and gain awareness about how the process of suffering happens for you and how to NOT suffer. It requires willingness, vulnerability and a commitment to not give up. You also have the option to experience EMDR, a powerful modality when stuck.

My passion is to motivate, educate and support the deepest level of healing and highest level of achievement available to my clients, personally, professionally and in their relationships. I assist my clients in healing long standing issue as they move through difficult life circumstances with a deeper understanding and appreciation of themselves and others. Utilizing my training in fitness, holistic nutrition, & personal growth combined with over 20 years experience in mental health, I feel uniquely qualified to assist my clients in understanding and healing their "whole being". I'm licensed and have practices in WA and CA.
