Individual Therapy in San Diego
You don’t have to keep holding it all alone
You deserve to feel seen and understood
Exhausted, burnt out, irritable, unimportant, and alone are just a few of the ways you may be feeling. You have spent a lifetime trying to cultivate friendships and relationships, but it feels so hard to make meaningful connections. You love your family and at the same time feel lonely when you’re with them. Maybe after having your own children and experiencing unconditional love you often wonder why your caregiver couldn’t just love you the way you are. You’re sensitive and empathetic and when someone takes your kindness for weakness, it really fucking hurts. You mattered in your childhood and you matter now. If you’re ready to truly connect with yourself and your loved ones, we can help you dig into your past and help you create a life worth living.
Therapy for the Anxious Adult
Worrying constantly about all the things on your list, how that conversation didn’t go quite right, and feeling so incredibly overwhelmed about all the things you can’t control. Sometimes it just feels unbearable. You deserve some calm and tools to help you through some of those hard moments so you are feeling more confident and able to move through the waves of uncertainty. Let us help you get there.
Therapy for the People Pleaser
You give and give. You anticipate others needs and abandon any that you have. You say what they need to hear, follow along even if you really don’t want to, have trouble saying no, and have difficulty when people do not like you. It gives you anxiety when you can’t figure out how to make someone else happy or content. Pleasing others is a way to ensure you are worthy of love. You want to change and don’t know how. These are the issues I work on with my clients to overcome. We look back into the past and identify attachment wounds and how your smart little inner child figured out how to feel safe back then. We will identify how that is working for you today and in that process we identify how to set boundaries and start living life identifying your needs, wants, and who you truly are.
Therapy for the Perfectionist
You feel that your value is dependent on how well you can do something. You strive to plan, make lists, organize excessively, and feel immense anxiety when there are areas of your life that are not going as planned. You worry what others will think and the impression they will form of you, so you go out of your way to prove that you have it all together. Nothing ever feels good enough and that mindset robs you of ever feeling satisfied with your work. Your fear of failure stands in your way. There is hope. You are human and lovable just as you are - no matter what you can produce. Let’s get into the nitty gritty and begin to live a life of authenticity.
Therapy for Complex Trauma
As you’ve become an adult you have been able to reflect on your childhood and it just doesn’t sit right with you. Your experiences are distant and you have trouble remembering things from the past. “My childhood wasn’t that bad” or you quickly say, “My parents did the best they knew how.” Or maybe they didn’t do a great job and instead you have lived a life holding beliefs about who you are at your core. There may have been patterns you adapted to gain acceptance, belonging, and safety from your caregivers. You’re wanting to examine these patterns of behavior and change how you relate to others. We are here to help you identify better ways of connecting to yourself and others. Because the truth is, you already are worthy, you just have to believe it.
Therapy for Queer Individuals
It is important that your whole self is seen and that you have a safe place to be and grow. Some of our therapists have lived experience and understand the adversities that LGBTQ+ individuals experience and offer a space free of judgment or exclusion. You get to cut to your experience instead of educating me on the culture. We provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all genders and sexualities. You are safe here.
