Do you feel stuck, even though you’re capable and high-functioning? Are you searching for more meaning, clarity, or direction but aren’t sure where to begin? I specialize in helping motivated individuals move through blocks, gain insight, and create real, lasting change. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience supporting people in reaching their full potential. My approach is direct, practical, and holistic—integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, mindfulness, and structured goal-setting.

Hi I'm Jordan and welcome to my practice. I specialize in working with adults with high-functioning Autism (formerly Asperger's) as well as help clients with addiction concerns. If you or your adult child is on the spectrum and struggling to put words to their emotions, implement real change, or develop friendships, these are very common concerns and I would be happy to meet with you or your child to work through those concerns. I also support clients (ASD or not) with addiction concerns ranging from porn to alcohol and many other drugs. I enjoy my work and ensure that my clients never feel judged and leave feeling empowered to make the changes that are essential for their life.

My background includes training in somatic therapy, spiritual emergence, buddhist psychology, expressive arts, sandtray, rosen method bodywork, aikido, person centered and transpersonal therapy and diverse trainings in psychological methods for personal growth and healing.

Currently I work with individuals in private practice.

Are you in a relationship that is not how you’d like it to be? Or are you not currently in a relationship, but you want to be? You may have a history of unsatisfactory or dysfunctional relationships and are ready to break the pattern. You are suffering. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing feelings such as Frustration, Disappointment, Depression, Despair, Anxiety, Self-doubt, Low self-worth, a Lack of inner peace. Whether you are currently in a relationship or not, my role is to help you to uncover potential reasons for struggles and breakdowns in relationships.

We can explore these together, in relation to your specific circumstances and history. I work with individuals and we can address issues such as Communication, Arguments, Abuse, Trust, Respect, Needs, Wishes, Thoughts and Feelings. Originally trained as a Psychotherapist in London, England, I have now been living and working in the USA for over a decade. My principal goals in our therapy sessions are: To listen to you and really hear you; to explore your past and present together; to provide you with genuinely empathic emotional support; and to facilitate the arrival of insight in relation to life 'in your shoes' so that you gain ideas for how to move forward and achieve your personal goals.

I believe healing is hidden in the stories we share.

I have been seeing clients since 2009 and have worked with children, adults, couples, veterans, and all manner of presenting issues. I specialize in helping people recover from trauma and especially complex or relational trauma. My style is to engage you with thought provoking questions, challenge disempowering thoughts and narratives, bolster your self care and self esteem, and help you value yourself in the same way you would someone you respect and admire.

This season of life has been WAY more than you imagined. You juggle everyone else's needs, and you are realizing you need space for yourself. Friend, I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Jess. I specialize in supporting high-capacity women and their children as they navigate betrayal, burnout, and major life changes. I know what it’s like when the late-night fights with your spouse leave you drained, when work deadlines and school carpool lines blur together, and the days feel like they’re just melting into one another. Maybe you’ve forgotten what it feels like to laugh, to feel light, or to truly enjoy a moment for yourself. You are in the right place. Here is where you get to pause, process, and reclaim clarity, balance, and joy—even in the midst of life’s chaos.

Hi, My name is Aaron and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who loves to see people start taking more control over their life and empowering them to become the mature, healthy person that they've always wanted to be. I've found that many people get bogged down by false lies/narratives that they have in their heads like, "I'm not good enough", "I can't handle it", or the all too common "I don't deserve ... ". These lies, whether we realize it or not, end up impacting many area's of our life, especially the way we view ourselves. With me, my hope is that you will have a transformative experience in the way you look at yourself and believe in yourself. My goal is for you to grow in believing, "There are many good things about me and that's enough", or "I actually can handle it, and I can figure things out" or "I actually do deserve ..." When you grow in actually believing these things, it's amazing how much more mature, healthy and confident you become. You can actually re-write the way you think about yourself and you can experience life to the fullest!

"Life is a journey, travel it well." I believe we're all on our own individual journeys of life that sometimes put us in valleys and sometimes on top of hills. When it comes to the valleys, sometimes it's alright to reach out to someone for a little guidance and help. Hi, my name is Ryan and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. One of my favorite parts of my own journey has been navigating the complexities of young adult life stages from college, to work, romance and beyond.

Hello! and welcome. I know that it can feel scary to do therapy, so congratulations on taking the first step! I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds in a therapeutic capacity for several decades.

Welcome, I commend you for taking this courageous step of seeking support! I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (LMFT 102540) for over 10 years. My specialties include treating PTSD/trauma, mood disorders, attachment and relationship issues, addictive processes, Jungian/psychodynamic therapy, and psychedelic integration for individuals seeking out states of expanded consciousness. I am deeply passionate about helping clients access their Inner Healing Wisdom. I believe that an individual’s encounter with their personal unconscious is essential for the healing process. Our unconscious is a sacred cave where we store our insecurities, fantasies, painful memories, deepest fears, and feelings of guilt and shame. It's also a place where we hid away aspects of our authentic selves that could not "fit" into our environment growing up. I believe that true healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore this hidden cave and integrate it’s contents into our authentic Self. My goal is co-create this foundation of safety and trust with you so we can explore the cave together with courage, compassion, and curiosity.

You've been holding it together for so long. It's time to let someone else help carry the load. Mood struggles don't just affect how you feel. They shape your work, your relationships, and how you show up for the people you love. You're doing your best to manage, without anyone showing you how. You deserve relief. And the confidence to handle the hard days when they come. Whether you're living with depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, or you're watching someone you love struggle, you've come to the right place. I'm Amanda--a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in individual work with adults, parents, and caregivers. Over the past 15 years, I've had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of people as they moved from survival mode to a life that actually feels like their own. I hold a Master's degree from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and I bring both the clinical depth of that training and the wisdom of real-world practice to every session. My approach is collaborative and personalized — because you're not a diagnosis or a checklist, and therapy shouldn't feel like one. I'm a creative thinker by nature, and I use that to bring fresh perspectives to our work together, while also providing the structure and direction that meaningful progress requires. In our early sessions, we'll take time to understand what's really going on and build a clear, intentional plan that fits your life. Most of my clients notice a real, positive shift within the first month. A steady, meaningful life isn't something other people get to have. It belongs to you, too. If you're ready to stop managing and start actually living, I'd love to connect.

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.

Have you been a go-getter all your life, only to find that you feel resentful and burnt out? Imagine what it would be like to rediscover a sense of ease and balance in your life. What would you give to feel excited about your career, family, friends, or hobbies again? I enjoy blending mind & body healing modalities to help clients achieve wellness at all levels. My holistic style can help you build resilience to better manage life's many stresses.

I have been described as easy to talk to, warm, non-judgemental, relatable, and direct. People seem to enjoy sharing their story with me and I consider it an honor to be part of their journey. If you are looking for someone to talk to for healing, guidance, a different perspective, support, or recovery, I have experience to do just that. I believe we all need a safe space to share our innermost feelings without being worried about anyone else. I encourage self awareness and self care as a central part of the therapeutic process. I have a diverse background with work in various settings like juvenile corrections, criminal justice, family foster care, schools, etc. I love working with adolescents/teens and adults. Most recently I have worked supporting individuals who have been impacted by wild fires. I have a unique background because I am married to a retired first responder and I have a passion for supporting first responders and their families. I use a trauma informed approach, CBT, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and solution focused. I am client centered and use tools to help empower clients to find what works best in their circumstances. I am a follower of Jesus and my beliefs inform my approach but I only use my faith in counseling if requested by the client.

What's worse, your partner or family member seems to not care at times, making things even harder for you. I understand. Better is possible, and I'm here to help. I have a passion for helping individuals in personal growth. I have been working with adults on relationship issues, anxiety, and depression for over ten years.

Are you always the go to person? Do people constantly comment on how you always know how to handle things? Or maybe that they don't know how you do it all! Maybe sometimes you don't even know how you do it, but you keep going. You keep showing up and doing it all. But when you need support, it feels like theres no one you can really lean on. It can be hard to know where to start to begin really take care of yourself, but it's possible to change things and create a life you truly love. I can help you find the answers you're looking for inside yourself and build a life you feel connected to and truly worthy of. If you're ready to stop putting everyone else first and learn how to show up for yourself and live a life where you are energized, I can help!

Over human history, people have mostly lived in close-knit communities. This has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost much of the social support our forebearers enjoyed. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role in their respective communities and are an excellent resource for you to realize your strengths and improve your well-being. When your car breaks down you take it to a mechanic. When your tooth hurts you see a dentist. When your mental health can use a “tune-up,” see a Mental Health Professional!

Overwhelmed by a major life transition? I work with individuals facing: Daily & Lifelong Challenges: Anxiety, relationship difficulties, career transitions, and the challenges of aging. Deep Emotional Suffering: Trauma, grief, addiction, and significant existential questions. I help clients integrate difficult experiences and reclaim identity and meaning, and a deeper understanding of their own existence and place in the world. Therapy with me is rooted in honest dialog, active listening, and evidence-based tools. I integrate Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), breathwork, reflective journaling, dream exploration, and narrative techniques. Rather than just talking about problems, we’ll focus on actionable solutions and personal responsibility. Together, we will uncover underlying patterns, explore new choices, and equip you with practical tools to cultivate deeper self-awareness, courage, and self-compassion. ( NOTE: I have a no show, late show and late cancel policy (see "Practice Details") which includes all clients including those who have insurers who do not cover Grow Therapy for those instances.

Hi, I’m Regina, and I’m here to listen and support you with kindness and understanding. With over 35 years of experience as a Clinical Social Worker, I’ve walked alongside children, adolescents, families, and adults facing life-threatening illnesses and chronic conditions. I’ve also provided compassionate employee assistance counseling, private case management (ACMA) consultation, and psychotherapy — all aimed at helping you navigate crises, mental health challenges, and assessments with care and expertise. My goal is to help you find healing, hope, and personal growth as you build resilience for a healthier future. In our work together, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space where your individual story matters deeply. I practice trauma-informed therapy, which means I honor the ways stress and trauma shape your experience while gently exploring their roots. My specializations include medical, perinatal, legal, and workplace-related stress or trauma, all approached with empathy and respect to support your healing journey. Single Session Therapy (SST) is available for brief counseling support. References Yadav G, McNamara S, Gunturu S. Trauma-Informed Therapy. [Updated 2024 Aug 16]. In: StatPearls [Internet].

“What one person has to offer to another, is their own being, nothing more, nothing less” – Ram Dass. My therapeutic approach is a strength-based perspective that focuses on a person’s innate potential rather than pathologies and shortfalls. Consistent with this approach, my role as a therapist lies not in solving problems but in helping clients examine inhibited issues and biases, identify practical solutions to their problems and progress toward deeper wisdom. I have worked with adults, children and families. This experience has included clients of various ethnicities and addressed a range of mental health issues, interpersonal relationship problems, and life transitions. I draw on my experience of 15 years in travel journalism and Corporate America and this understanding helps me support my clients as they navigate the stress and success in their place of work, endure layoffs, reevaluate priorities, and make renewed efforts towards new beginnings. My therapeutic style is adaptive to the individual needs of my clients. I believe the process of change is an ongoing dialogue. This process can be brief or longer term, depending upon the needs of the client. Sometimes I use mindfulness techniques to supplement therapy.

My name is Diana Tavares. I am a patient and empathic Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am passionate about creating a sacred and safe space during the therapeutic process for you to feel confident in your ability to create positive changes in your life. I believe that everyone is deserving of a loving relationship with themselves, the world, and those around them. In our work together, my hope is that we create a new toolbox of coping mechanisms and break personal and generational patterns that no longer serve to enhance the quality of your life and for you to live more aligned and at peace.
