Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I received my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and have been practicing for 5 years. I enjoy working with individual adults to help them increase self-awareness, realize their full potential and purpose, and heal from relationship or attachment trauma. I will be adding new clients starting the week of 6/22/25. My clients are often going through difficult life transitions or searching and asking some of the deeper questions in life. They may be thinking things like "Why do I keep doing this?", "Why do I feel stuck?", "Why do I feel like I'm not truly being myself?", or "How do I handle these emotions?".

We are more than conquerors! You already have the capability to make changes that help accomplish your goals, experience healing, and combat the most difficult symptoms. However, we were never meant to go it alone. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership—it is teamwork. It is joining forces with one another.

I am Kimberly Jones: Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have over 10 years of experience in offering psychotherapy to all ages. My expertise is couple’s therapy encompassing marriage and relationships. You will be provided a safe space to bring your most complex matters as I am confident in supporting honest dialogue. In addition, mediation during difficult discussions and understanding the anatomy of an affair's impact on both partners can also be provided. I would assist in managing the threat of divorce, post-separation, and co-parenting. In the healing pursuit, individuals will experience neutrality, intimacy repair, trust building, improved communication, and conflict resolution. These are all skills necessary to strengthen the relationship and introduce a new way of seeing life together.

*Specializes in working with Adults ONLY* I personally believe it's the struggles we endure and the obstacles we overcome that build our character. It was my own personal traumas and difficulties experienced earlier in life & adolescence which initially started me on this path of whole person wellness and recovery. As a result, I've spent decades not just improving myself, but helping others reach their full potential as well. I utilize a cumulation of MI, CBT/REBT, DBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, and EMDR, depending on client's needs and goals. Congratulations on taking the first step (or continuing) on your wellness journey!

I understand the challenges many of us are facing with trying to balance personal needs, cultural challenges, developmental stages, relationships, partners, family, single life, married life, financial stress, career-building (career set-backs & toxic work cultures), high demand careers (law, nursing, education...) parenting, fertility issues, and modern dating. With unwavering optimistic positive support, I am here to help you feel listened to, supported and appreciated. For me, it is an honor to support you on your journey to feel better.

San Diego, CA - Accepting clients in CA

**ACCEPTING ADULTS (18+) ONLY** Hi, I'm Yang. And I'm here to help you heal from self-abandonment and emotional dysregulation. Self-abandonment occurs when we struggle to stand up for our needs and live by our authentic values; often, we don't even know what they are. Those who struggle with self-abandonment don't feel like they know who they really are, and what they want, and often feel directionless and ungrounded. We feel small, afraid, anxious, aggressive and dependent on others. Emotional dysregulation occurs when we don't understand our emotions and how to manage them. They control us, instead of the other way around. We behave in ways we wish we didn't, and we build up shame around those behaviors as if they are who we are. We cannot separate our emotions from who we are. These issues often lie at the heart of different mental health struggles, such as depression, anxiety, as well as many relationship challenges. The good news is that resolving these, therefore, can potentially lead to ripple effects of change in your life.

At times, life presents us with challenges that are too difficult to face alone. While some people turn to family and friends for support, others may find themselves without anyone. The fear of judgment and understanding can prevent many from obtaining the support they need. My passion for therapy lies in the opportunity to work with a diverse range of individuals and learn about their unique experiences. Each person's story is different, and being able to support them through their journey is incredibly rewarding. I appreciate the chance to witness their growth and resilience as they navigate their challenges. While each approach is tailored to the individual, I utilize a blend of therapeutic techniques that include inner child work, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and supportive therapy. Together, we explore how past experiences shape the present and develop strategies to navigate life’s challenges. I’m here to offer a judgment-free zone where you can express yourself openly. My aim is to provide a space where your thoughts and feelings can be acknowledged and reflected upon. Together, we can explore insights that may not be apparent to you on your own. Let’s work together to find the best path forward for your situation.

I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in southern California for 15 years, working with children, adults and families. I have over 24 years of experience with the neuro-atypical diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Individuals with either of these neuro-atypical disorders experience many social challenges, sensory challenges, and misperceptions by the outside world (along with a lot of bad/unhelp advice). It can bring tremendous relief to receive relevant suggestions and understanding of the life experiences that accompany these diagnoses. I have extensive experience working with individuals their and families in navigating what to do next after receiving a developmental diagnosis, such as ASD. It surprises so many families that there are many resources to assist with the struggles they have gone through or anticipate that they will go through. I have helped parents to understand their neuro-atypical child better, and the neuro-atypical person to understand themselves and their roles in life better. This has lead to the person with the neuro-atypical diagnosis experiencing more successes in their roles as a student/co-worker, classmate, family member, partner, and friend.

Hi there, I'm Christina. I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist that has been in practice for over 11 years. During our sessions, we'll work at your pace and where you are at emotionally. Creating a safe space filled with compassion and kindness is important to me, plus a mixture of mental health interventions. We'll set a goal and work towards achieving that goal. Don't worry, we don't have to delve deep into your past if you are not ready. Sometimes there is the need to process what you are going through at the moment and have someone to be there and listen and that's okay too. We can start there.

Life can be full of uncertainty, disappointment, loss, and unanswered questions. At times it may seem no one can possibly understand or help us through a difficult or painful situation. We may even question how the past, present, and future can be simultaneously daunting. Yes, painful life experiences can seem never-ending, but I want you to know there is hope. The hurts of life do not have to leave a permanent scar on your mind, body, or soul. I have found therapy to be an effective tool in healing the deepest of wounds. You are not defined by the wound, but the healing. For nearly a decade, I have served many facing marital, familial and parental distress, drug/alcohol addiction, challenging mental health diagnoses, trauma, and various cancer types. I take great pride in providing therapeutic services and advocating for students with school staff. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and possess a Nutrition for Mental Health certification. Take heart and take joy for there is nothing you cannot overcome.
