You deserve to feel better. Hi, I’m Michelle, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Mindset Coach with over twenty-five years of experience helping people reduce stress, ease anxiety, and feel more grounded and confident in themselves. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation, one that helps you make sense of your experiences and understand yourself more deeply: how you think, feel, and respond to life, so that you can move forward with greater confidence and clarity. Clients often come to me when they’re feeling stuck, caught in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional overload that make it hard to feel calm or connected. Together, we work to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and build new tools for emotional balance, stronger boundaries, and a steadier mindset. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I bring both clinical experience and real-world perspective to our work together, helping you develop insight, emotional resilience, and a mindset that supports the kind of life and relationships you truly want.

I am Dr. Claudia Nuñez, PsyD, MSW, a licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), integrating mindfulness, somatic awareness, and narrative reflection. Yet beneath all techniques, my work begins with presence, listening for what your felt experience is trying to express. I understand symptoms not as flaws, but as adaptations, creative attempts to protect and make sense of pain. Through a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens, I help you bring compassion and understanding to these parts of yourself, so that healing can unfold where it once felt impossible. Together, we’ll work to restore balance, honor the journey that brings you here, and reconnect with the wholeness that has always lived beneath the survival.

I bring decades of experience, but you are the expert on your own life. I’ll do a deep dive to understand how your symptoms affect you. My role isn’t to diagnose or label you. Instead, I offer invitations to explore new perspectives, try different approaches, and gently challenge the patterns holding you back. I feel confident about my abilities to help you to move forward into the life you have always desired. Therapy can be a daunting experience. I appreciate your courage in pursuing help. I always bring a sense of playfulness to the journey. Things can be hard and still be fun. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have been playing and coaching basketball for years and, in the process, developed a passion for psychology and philosophy. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. I have completed one year of a master’s program with a focus on sports psychology. I received my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I wanted to improve my communication, relate better to the people and clients I was working with, understand myself better, and adequately face personal issues and past traumatic events. I consequently developed an interest in mental health, emotional resilience, and intricate family dynamics that shape us as individuals. I became a believer that with the proper support and resources, people could find solutions and become active in authoring preferred narratives. Resourcefulness exists in all people. Additionally, I believe clients are best understood if we take time to reflect on relevant cultural and dominant societal factors to ensure treatment objectives and interventions are consistent with the attitudes and behaviors distinctive of a range of multicultural perspectives and backgrounds.

I was born in the US, but I was raised in Mexico. I lived in Tijuana for 10 years when my parents decided to move us across the border to Chula Vista, California. As a first-generation Mexican-American, I experienced a duality of cultures. I was often judged for either being “not Mexican enough” OR “not American enough.” I also faced enormous pressure to be successful – to justify my parents’ having left their beloved country so my sibling and I could have a better life. This is one of many reasons I decided to follow this path: to help those who feel alone in their journey. That’s how I felt when acculturating to this country. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at San Diego State University (SDSU). I was going to go directly into the workforce and eventually go back for my master’s, but an awesome professor challenged me to apply right away so I wouldn’t lose momentum. So, that’s what I did. I ended up getting my Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Southern California. It took some time and courage to finish all my licensing requirements, but it was worth it! I’ve been licensed as a clinical social worker in California since 2019. I am certified in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT.

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist dedicated to helping people, just like you. I use integrative techniques and tools to help you get in touch with your inner thoughts and intuition so you can lead a happier and more thoughtful life. I create a safe and empathetic space where we can truly talk about anything. I am here to be a guide. I love helping people learn more about who they are and how to enjoy their life more. I enjoy watching people learn how to advocate for themselves. I think having the chance to build a relationship with someone who is reaching out during a challenging time is a gift. I look forward to the times when my clients become empowered and grow throughout the process. I am privileged to hear every person’s life story and their experiences. I enjoy exploring how each client would like to change or add to their story.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Couples Counseling?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Couples Counseling, is filtering therapists in California that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
