Our new location is at:
2204 S El Camino Real, Suite 305
Oceanside, CA 92054
It can be so hard to find a good therapist who also sees clients in person.
To be honest, so many of us (therapists especially!) got comfy working from home and didn't want to go back. Many therapists gave up their office spaces during the pandemic and just decided it was easier and more cost effective.
As much as I've grown to love telehealth, we all still have a place in my heart for in-person therapy. There is something about being in the same room as someone else that is hard to replace, even with the best technology.
We offer in person therapy near Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, and Fallbrook with comfy couches, warm lighting, and unlimited coffee, tea, or water.
Benefits of In-Person Therapy in Oceanside
Increased sense of connection with the therapist
I hear from many clients that they feel a stronger connection with their therapist when they meet them face-to-face. That here is something to be said about being in the same physical space with someone and the energy exchange that occurs.
Greater privacy from family members
Sometimes the people that you want to talk about are right there in your house! Having issues with your partner or mom? Maybe you don't want them overhearing what you have to say about them in your therapy session. Meeting in my office ensures that the space is 100% confidential.
More visual cues for me to assess and use in therapy
One of the biggest advantages of meeting in person is that I can see not only your facial expressions, but also how you move your body, your gait and your posture. We are attuned therapists, which means that we pay extra special attention to things like body language.
Here’s what you can expect with In-Person Therapy in Oceanside, California
Your comfort is our priority.
We will make sure you are settled and offer you water, coffee, or tea. Feel free to take your shoes off, get comfy, and arrange the pillows to your liking.
We'll set goals collaboratively for our work together
The first or intake session is all about getting to know you and establishing goals for your therapy. Studies show that when the therapist and client are on the same page about goals, therapy is much more successful.
We will get to work on at least one of your concerns
I like to say that when you walk out of your first therapy session, you should have at least one new tool or one new mindset shift to bring with you into the week. It's also my aim to help you feel a sense of relief after the first session, like you've begun to unburden yourself of things you've held onto for months or even years.
