Welcome! My name is Craig Harris. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) currently providing telehealth services. I currently work with adult individuals (all age ranges).

I have worked with children, adults and families in a variety of settings for over 20 years. I combine understanding and empathy with a straight forward, strength-based and solution-focused approach. I am here to help you reach your goals and improve your relationships with your family, friends, co-workers, loved ones and most importantly yourself. I look forward to speaking with you.

I work with high functioning individuals experiencing burnout, anxiety, and a lack of professional/personal balance. I approach therapy collaboratively and from a relational perspective. Simply put, I meet people where they are and from there, we work together to discover solutions that work by utilizing evidence-based tools from a variety of approaches (CBT, ACT, EMDR, polyvagal theory). My personal style is compassionate, grounded in authentic connection, and infused with warmth and humor.

My name is Jennifer Limon and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I’m also a proud first-generation college graduate, raised by migrant worker parents who came to this country in search of a better life. Their journey shaped my values and inspired my passion for helping others navigate life’s transitions with resilience and purpose. I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults who are facing major life changes starting college, entering the workforce, dealing with stress or burnout, becoming a parent, or adjusting to a new life stage. These transitions can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to feel anxious, lost, or stuck. My goal is to help you build the tools and confidence to manage these changes, reduce anxiety and depression, and move forward with more clarity, calm, and self-compassion. You don’t have to go through this alone . I’m here to support you as you find your footing and create a life that feels meaningful and manageable.

My name is Uchechi Alozie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is seeing my client within their environment and not just the issues they are presenting. My approach is trying to aid my clients holistically. I have worked with family units for more than 10 years. And have worked with individuals with chronic mental illness for 6 years. I am used to working with families with different dynamics. I have a background in child welfare services, so I am very familiar with the trauma that comes from familial interpersonal relationships. I have worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting, working with individuals suffering from debilitating chronic mental illness.

I provide therapy to clients statewide through telehealth, working with adults and adolescents who are managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Using Psychodynamic and Mindfulness Therapy helps me meet clients where they are, creating an approach that allows them to begin at a comfortable pace. My approach is not one-size-fits-all; we'll work together to navigate a path for your progress. I most frequently use Mindfulness Therapy, which focuses on learning how to be more aware of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and surroundings, and to reduce automatic responses.

I am Dr. Audrey Levy. I live on a boat, and my private practice hours are available 24/7 by appointment only. I also make house calls. I am experienced in helping my clients deal with issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Stress Reduction, Loss and Grief Recovery, Substance Abuse, Anger Management and Crisis Counseling. I provide a calm, empathetic, and nurturing environment where you will feel heard, and most importantly, understood. Together we will work on ways to help you understand your feelings and compulsions. My grieving clients experience closure through writing letters to their loved ones who have died. This letter writing is effective for all forms of loss. Reading the letters aloud is very healing as it encourages acceptance, and permits moving on to build a life filled with love and laughter. As a Doctor of Psychology and psychotherapist for 45+ years, I've dealt with my own grief and loss by writing the nonfiction book, "Doggie Wisdom for Humans: Advice from Dogs for Humans of All Ages," and an autobiographical fiction series, "The Adventures of the Angel Oleo." I hope you have an opportunity to read my books and that I get to help you.

Sometimes, as adults, we discover that our ability to make decisions; to love someone; to accept the love of another; to feel peace and inner calm; to find the motivation to accomplish goals; to forgive a betrayal; and to experience self-acceptance and confidence can feel limited, creating distress and discomfort. Thus begins the journey of an examined life. When you explore how you operate, what influences your choices, and what has contributed to your experiences, you begin the process of enriching your internal resources. This expansion of resources broadens your choices and options in life and holds the potential for higher functioning and greater happiness. As a therapist, I provide a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment. I am easy to talk to, interactive, respectfully direct, and mindful of diverse cultures, backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I work collaboratively with my clients to set goals and utilize each individual’s strengths and resources, supporting the discovery of an authentic self that experiences life in a richer and more satisfying way.

You want to change your feelings, thoughts, or behaviors, but every time you try, it blows up in your face. (Not literally...hopefully.) How do you get unstuck?! The most important factor is the relationship with your therapist. My main focus is teaming up with you - not telling you what to do - to figure out how to help you create new patterns. My practice mostly revolves around increasing your awareness of what’s happening in your mind and your body – and above all, respecting your experience. My approach focuses on mindfulness, DBT, and post-traumatic growth. This takes work, but with the help of someone you trust, you absolutely can change the structure of your brain! As much as I may be in the most privileged of demographics (see photo), I’ve taken a lifetime’s worth of feeling inferior and deployed it for good: Being able to empathize with you, the client. I've worked extensively with anger, grief, substance use, LGBTQ+-related issues, insomnia, racial identity, relationship issues, sports performance, etc. I have an easygoing way of communicating with clients. My communication style definitely doesn't have that solemn, overly serious tone that you might see depicted in movie therapists. Just to forewarn: My sessions can and will include some (very lame) jokes here and there, but that does not mean I don't take your struggle seriously.

I am a therapist who is deeply committed to understanding the “why” behind my clients’ experiences. I work with individuals and couples who are navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, racial stressors, self-esteem struggles, and the quiet weight of daily burdens that can leave a person feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. In my work, I use intentional, reflective techniques that help clients reach deep within to uncover who they were before trauma, disappointment, and life’s obstacles began to shape their narrative. I believe healing begins when a person feels safe, secure, and genuinely cared for. From that place of safety, we are able to rediscover identity, restore confidence, and reconnect with purpose. I empower my clients to move beyond limiting beliefs that keep them small and instead step into the greatness they were always meant for. Much of the sorrow many of us carry stems from a longing to truly know ourselves, trust ourselves, and believe we are worthy. My role is to walk alongside each person with humility and curiosity, honoring their unique story while helping them strengthen their voice, build self-trust, and create meaningful change in their lives and relationships. Whether working with individuals seeking personal growth and life satisfaction, or couples striving to find their relationship voice and reconnect with one another, I strive to create a therapeutic space where healing is possible, resilience is nurtured, and transformation becomes sustainable.

Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. I know how hard it can be to reach out for therapy, and I want to thank you for taking the time to invest in yourself. If you’ve been feeling drained by anxiety, depression, or the weight of old wounds, you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve done everything you can to feel better, but it still feels like it’s not enough. I want you to know that you’re not broken. You’re human. I’m Sarah, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience helping people heal, find clarity, and reconnect with themselves. My approach is warm, practical, and supportive because therapy should feel like a place where you can finally take a deep breath. Together, we’ll explore what’s been keeping you stuck and find ways to help you feel more grounded, steady, and at ease. Change is possible, and you deserve to feel like yourself again.

I'm a licensed therapist who is passionate about supporting adults heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, as well as self-esteem and relationship challenges. I graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies' Community Mental Health program, and have years of experience working with children and families impacted by systemic issues, trauma, and chronic stress. My experiences navigating cultures and identities, and my ongoing work with multicultural individuals and families, have given me an understanding of cultural humility that informs how I relate to each person's unique perspective. With a client-centered, compassionate, and culturally-responsive lens, my work weaves psychodynamics and attachment theory, as well as mindfulness and somatic awareness to help encourage insight, self-compassion, and a stronger, more flexible center within oneself.

¡YO HABLO ESPAÑOL! I am an immigrant who has dedicated herself to achieving both educational and career goals, striving not only to make myself proud but also to honor the sacrifices of my family. Now, I feel it is my turn to give back to the community that has given me so much. In 2017, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from San Diego Christian College, and in 2019, I obtained my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University. My professional experience includes working with diverse populations throughout San Diego County who struggle with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, ranging from mood disorders to psychotic disorders. I have also supported individuals in acute mental health crises across the country, gaining a deep understanding of the complex challenges people face. Through these experiences, I have witnessed firsthand how our environments shape and impact every one of us. This insight fuels my commitment to serving others with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a dedication to fostering resilience and healing within the communities I serve.
