You are grieving, heartbroken, or lost. You didn’t get the job, you broke up with your partner, someone important has died. Grief is normal and exquisite and painful. You want to talk about it, but you don’t want to burden anyone. Here you have permission to be a burden. To be messy, seen, repetitive, and stuck. I’ll meet you there, but won’t leave you there. We work towards managing the unimaginable. Reckoning with the stories we tell and the paths lost, in order to reconcile with where we truly are. There you will find possibility. New stories, new love, new hope. There you will find the courage to start again.

Healing through self-discovery is a powerful means to uncovering your full potential. The relationship starts with yourself. The healing journey is defined by you creating a life you want to live as I work as an aid, the vessel to support you.
Are you struggling with complex trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions? Is your body storing pain? Are you questioning your purpose, career, and relationships? Are you searching for balance? Is work or family obligations stressing you? Are you feeling disorganized, or are criticizing thoughts getting in your way? Have you held onto a dysfunctional narrative of who you are?
Welcome. I am glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, Florida, & Utah. I offer video teletherapy. A little about me. I am a wife, mother of two young adults, and a free-spirited traveler. I know what it is like to feel stuck, yearning for that something. Connection is critical in our search for support.

I’m Brandon, a licensed therapist based in San Diego, California. I love being a therapist and truly care about my clients’ well-being and progress. I have experience helping clients navigate a wide range of mental health and life challenges. I offer a pragmatic and flexible approach to therapy that focuses on finding skills and solutions that work for you and your family.
I have an M.S. in Counseling from San Diego State University, with additional training and experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other evidence-supported approaches to health, recovery, and growth.
I am a contributing author to the book Neurobiology and Collaborative Therapy (Routledge, 2016). I have a decade of experience working in hospital, residential treatment, and outpatient settings with adults and adolescents. Aside from seeing clients in private practice, I also work several days a week in a hospital setting providing treatment to adolescents and their families.
I work hard to create a non-judgmental and comfortable atmosphere for my clients to share their challenges, and look for ways to support them while also pushing them to move outside their comfort zone to overcome problematic and self-defeating habits.
If you are looking for a therapist who both supports you and challenges you to grow, get in touch with me today to learn more.

Hello, I appreciate your courage in reaching out. I'm a native Californian, and I have a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from Stetson University in Deland, FL (summa cum laude 2009), and a doctorate in applied clinical psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Los Angeles campus (summa cum laude 2015). I'm certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which has over 37 years of scientific research proving its effectiveness and efficiency in healing trauma. I'm also a MAPs/Fluence-trained psychedelic integration therapist. I've been working with clients since 2008 on various issues that have their foundation in trauma, such as depression, anxiety, recurring relationship conflicts, complicated grief, general malaise, life dissatisfaction, and more. We find that once the underlying trauma is addressed the resulting issues tend to resolve as well and then clients can live happier and more productive, relaxed lives.

I approach our first session with wanting to know exactly where you are and what you need today. This is because people usually book a therapy session while in some kind of emotional pain, or with a problem to solve. I assure you that you will feel more peaceful and calm with just one session, and you will leave knowing that you will be able to solve what is going on.
We tend to be harsh and critical of ourselves thinking that will promote change when that only causes us to procrastinate and feel depression and anxiety. To address this I offer you my book endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on self-forgiveness- just ask me about it if you are interested!
I offer you my podcast- All Things Therapy, which can be found everywhere podcasts are streamed. It is a mental health and wellness-focused podcast with over 360 episodes that may address something you are dealing with.
I would love to work with you here on Grow, so please schedule.

Hello, my name is Jennifer, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. Over the past 17+ years I have predominately worked with children and adolescents and their families. I specialize in working with this population. My goal is not to just treat the child, but also to equip the parents to be able to help their child in the home. My goal is "parent as therapist." While I love my time each week with my client, the parents are the ones doing the real work in the home. As a parent, I know that one of the most difficult feelings is seeing your child struggling and not knowing how to help. My goal is to help the child while also training up the parents to heal the entire family. My preferred methods of treatment are CBT and PCIT as I believe they offer tools to help families quickly and effectively.

I am drawn to working with clients who are dealing with adjustment issues: life transitions, changes, and loss, at any stage of life. I also work with clients dealing with mild to moderate depression and anxiety, existentialist questions over life purpose and meaning, LGBTQ and POC experiences around discrimination and trauma, the interest in developing a positive and personal spirituality, and as an adjunct support in fostering abstinence around substance use issues (therapy does not replace 12 step work, but it can be a powerful form of support for individuals in recovery). I have also worked a lot with clients grappling with codependency, setting boundaries, and developing self-esteem. I like to take an eclectic approach that uses solution-focused and CBT therapy for present day situations, psychodynamic theory for past childhood losses and trauma, and art therapy for exercises in between therapy appointments that can be processed in session.
I am a gay man, with a husband and son; I'm 33 years sober and have 20 years of experience working in the visual arts, plus a doctorate in philosophy.

I started out as a kid from Queens, NY who volunteered on the weekends working with individuals with autism while I was in high school. That propelled me into the world of social services. From there, I worked with individuals with severe psychiatric concerns, to families in need throughout NYC, the shelter system, students in higher education, residential group homes for system impacted adolescence and community mental health in the Southern California region. I believe we all have our stories from lived experiences that play a direct role in our daily struggles. This is why I utilize a psychodynamic & mindfulness approach that helps folks to understand what factors of their past feeds the stressors of their present and how to live more freely in the “now”.

Most of my work is Brief Emotional Therapy; 4-7 sessions, although I do have clients that have been with me longer. I work primarily with anxiety and depression.
I try to help people get through whatever issues they may be experiencing without judgement or attitude; to try and make some sense of the past, present and uncertain future. I work with you to differentiate or separate Depression, which may be rooted in the past from Anxiety, generally rooted in the present and with knowledge of an uncertain future. With respect to the gravity of the pain of the past, when we break depression and anxiety apart, we may choose to focus on what we can still affect, in the here and now and with the acceptance of an uncertain future. We can learn how to moderate and tolerate the added anxiety that comes with staying present and understanding of an uncertain future. But unless you are a time traveler and I don't generally work with time travelers, you can't affect the past.
Thank you,
Dr. L

I am trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, applied behavioral analysis, neuropsychology, and psychoanalysis. My interventions tend to be inclusive and can involve one, or all of these methods depending upon what would be most beneficial for you. The fields of humanistic and Adlerian psychology have also greatly influenced my approach as a therapist. As a result, when I am asked what my theoretical orientation is, I identify myself as “eclectic.” My experience has taught me that there is no singular “best” approach. Only what would be best for the individual seeking help. The benefit of my diversified training is that I am able to cater my interventions to meet your unique and specific needs.
