I've been licensed for 4 years, but have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years.

I meet clients where they are at and work together while providing an outside perspective and psycho-education as needed.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing happens through connection, compassion, and understanding. I partner with clients to explore patterns, build coping skills, and develop greater self-awareness in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. My work is informed by trauma-informed care and a holistic perspective that honors each client’s lived experience. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with their values.

My clients tend to be people who want to feel more in control of their emotions, more effective at getting what they want, less stuck, more flexible, more connected and really just more at peace. They seek relief from patterns - sometimes chronic and severe, sometimes only subtly troublesome - of painful emotions, negative self-talk and thoughts, rumination, relationship instability and self sabotaging behaviors.

I work with individuals and couples struggling with issues including addiction, codependency, parenting, body image issues, self-worth issues, anxiety and depression, among others.

My goal is to empower you to understand yourself better, heal from past traumas, and improve your relationships, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life.

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 - in figuring 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 believe in the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of criticism. Through exploration and self-discovery, my aim is to empower clients to cultivate resilience, enhance self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. As a counselor committed to ethical standards and ongoing professional development, I strive to stay informed about the latest research and best practices in the field. My dedication to the well-being of my clients is reflected in my advocacy for their mental health and personal growth throughout the therapeutic process.

Hello there, I am Jamey. Do you feel like there are just not enough hours in the day, or that you are being pulled in a million different directions?

Fortunately, I am here to help you get over that hump. I strive to help you manage anxiety and avoid burnout.

I'm an insight oriented therapist meaning I assist clients in illuminating their inner workings and wounds that have created struggles in their lives. I work at a level of healing and empowering with the intention to offer guidance rather than to instruct. You are the expert of your life. Together we take a look at what needs to be addressed and resolved then move into recognizing one's own strengths, value, and worth. This allows individuals to move into greater appreciation and acceptance of self. I have worked for several years with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a strong focus on personal acceptance, self-compassion, and resolution of internal conflicts based in trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, or lack of direction and focus in one’s life. I specialize in substance abuse and addiction treatment. Having been in recovery for 10 years myself, I understand the journey of ending the cycle of self destruction and moving to a place of healing and greater peace.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I bring experience working with individuals across the lifespan, children to adults. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of social work settings, which has given me a broad perspective on the many ways people grow, heal, and overcome challenges. While I’ve valued each of these roles, my greatest passion lies in the therapeutic setting—supporting clients in discovering their strengths and fostering meaningful change. My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and attachment-based interventions—all delivered through a trauma-informed lens. As a social worker, I am deeply committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that honors diversity, inclusion, and the unique experiences each client brings to the process.

Hi! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I specialize in providing compassionate and effective therapy to individuals, couples, and families.

I am committed to creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their concerns, develop coping strategies, and achieve their therapeutic goals.

I believe that therapy can be Fun, Inspiring, and Healing (with hopefully some good LAUGHS if possible.) As a child, I was put on academic probation twice, expelled at one point, and even attended military school. My life/travel experiences (volunteered in an orphanage in Nepal, worked at Mother Teresa's House for the Destitute and Dying in Calcutta, India, photographed the Rohingya genocide in Bangladesh), have shaped and informed my humanity to serve clients as a therapist now.

I’m Lindsay MacMaster PsyD, a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the San Diego area. When you work with me, I create a setting that is warm and compassionate, a space that allows you to best connect with what is bothering you. Counseling helps you learn how to become your best self. Therapy can support you as you lean into life’s most difficult challenges rather than shy away from them.

Parenting can be tough. You wonder if your child will ever grow out of their excessive worries, meltdowns, or tantrums, and you become exhausted and feel guilty for being frustrated with them. The nightly battles with homework and reports from school are wearing you down. The power struggle with your spirited toddler or your strong-willed adolescent may leave you overwhelmed and wondering what you can do differently. Communicating and feeling unified with your partner or caregiver may be difficult or your styles may be different, creating a state of uncertainty or chaos in the home. It is okay to feel overwhelmed. It is also okay to strive for more. You know the potential your child has, and living in a world where you can better help them navigate their development is possible. My goal is to empower you and your child by finding effective parenting strategies and coping skills that work for your family, allowing your child to thrive. I work with children, families, parents, and caregivers to ease the tension that emotions, outbursts, tantrums, and anxiety can bring children and their families. Parents are welcome for parent support as well as for individual therapy to improve their emotional response when triggered by parenting issues. Children are welcome between the ages of 2 and 7 years for Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Let's begin working towards a more peaceful and intentional parenting experience. I welcome all families from all walks of life.

Hi, I’m Genevie. I am a licensed mental health professional with about nine years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through their healing journey. My practice is centered on authenticity, unconditional positive regard, and creating a safe space where you can feel heard and understood. I specialize in trauma and have extensive experience working with clients across the lifespan from children as young as five to adults in their 60s to 70s. My background includes working with children, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, autism, grief and loss, terminal illness, family system challenges, and co-occurring disorders. I also work with couples and families to strengthen communication, boundaries, and connection. In therapy, I draw from multiple approaches including client-centered therapy, CBT, and family systems perspectives. I tailor treatment to the unique needs of each client, whether that means helping someone process trauma, manage symptoms of anxiety or depression, or navigate life transitions such as job changes, relationship difficulties, or significant loss.

My role is to walk alongside you, collaborating on your goals, and helping you build tools for resilience, clarity, and long-term well-being.

Hi, I’m Michael, a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience. My own journey—navigating identity, parenthood, and life’s challenges—led me to therapy and eventually to this work. I know how confusing and isolating it can be when your relationships aren’t working, parenting feels overwhelming, or you’re questioning who you are and where you're headed. That’s why I’m passionate about creating a space where people can feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. I’m a parent myself, so I get how chaotic and meaningful life can feel all at once. I’m also someone who’s always learning—about people, relationships, and the world.

Are you ready to create a life worth living? I take a collaborative compassionate approach to help people work through trauma and manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges that may stand in the way of their goals.

Together, we’ll work toward improving your daily life and building the future you want. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth.
