Emmily Weldon

Feeling lost or overwhelmed? Are past traumas, toxic relationships, or emotional struggles weighing you down? Trauma can impact the way you see yourself and the world around you, but healing is possible. I provide a safe, supportive space to help you process your experiences, reshape your thoughts, and rebuild a sense of security and inner resilience.

Dave Johnson

We are living through uncertain times. When it seems every day brings more bad news and the daily grind of just trying to be happy leaves you feeling more alone and confused, don't give up! Go see Dave! Together we can talk it through, make a plan, and practice getting better each day. I specialize in helping people recover from career setbacks, creativity, gender/sexual identity issues, immigration, mood disorders, psychosis, and trauma. Your future is calling, and it says, "life gets better."

Lexi Gonzales

Are you carrying the heavy burden of trauma, anxiety, rejection, loss, or the pressure to perform? Do you long to break free from the patterns that hold you back, gain clarity, and finally find a sense of peace and empowerment? Life’s challenges can often feel like they define us, making the journey toward healing feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to face it alone.

Katie Robey

My clients are managing ADHD, ASD, OCD, trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, and depression. They’re tired of therapy that just listens without offering real solutions. If you’re frustrated with vague advice and want someone who understands what you're going through, I’m here to dive in and help. I use my knowledge and experience to ensure our sessions lead to real progress, not just talk.

Strength In Service

No matter your background, culture, identity, or orientation, we honor and celebrate the diversity that strengthens our communities. Our mental health services are designed to meet the diverse needs of our community, creating a space where everyone can find personalized support and meaningful connection.

Alexis Castro

I work primarily with queer Black women who want to focus on anxiety, depression, and how colonization has impacted their life. My work focuses on pleasure, sensuality/sexuality, racial and biracial identities, intuition and body energy, fashion, radical acceptance, and humor.

Shanice Applewhaite

My clients typically come to me feeling anxious, lonely, depressed, isolated, and lonely - like something big is missing from their experience of living, but they can't quite put their finger on it. They may be suffering from negative self-talk and imposter syndrome. They may have childhood trauma and they definitely have experienced a sense of being "othered" by just about the whole damn world. They are desiring a gentle space to explore their desire for true belonging and self-love.

Antoinette Mastronardi

I work with anyone looking to dig deep to heal their sense of self and their relationships. I work with individuals in therapy to identify the problematic thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that stem from our oldest and deepest attachment wounds. I work with couples and ENM partnerships from an attachment perspective - I help partners communicate in a deeper, more attuned way to promote closeness, understanding, and intimacy. I also love working with families that are working through conflict.

Jackie Jacobo

On your best days, you know that you’re an icon; but on your tough days you feel shame, loneliness, depression and self-criticism. And anxiety is basically part of your personality at this point. I’m here to remind you that YOU are not the problem. For real! The systems and social environments you have been in are the problem. I’m here to uproot those damaging beliefs that were put on you and in you and that continually get in the way of you remembering the iconic baddie you are. Let’s get unde

Dina Bdaiwi

You are a young person, feeling lost feeling uncertain about your place in the world. You’re really trying to figure out what healthy relationships feel like. You want to be healthy you’re just having a tough time knowing what that actually looks like and feels like - you’ve been receiving messages about your body and your self worth from people who claim to love you or are supposed to love you. Social media, movies, friends, family – there’s so much pressure to be constantly ‘on’.

Stephanie Sandoval

I am passionate about supporting clients on their own journeys of self-exploration, reflection, and development through talk therapy. I’m also the founder of Collective Space Therapy, promoting and advocating emotional and mental health for all people and communities in San Diego.

Zoe Shpiner

Do you sometimes feel ruled by your past? Like there’s a story you've been telling yourself that doesn’t quite fit anymore, but is tough to deprogram. Perhaps you've begun exploring your own identity/ies in various ways, differentiating from your family’s expectations, and asking yourself the big question “Who am I?” and could really use a guide and witness to help make space for your evolution. You’ve read, listened, and followed but nothing has changed. You don't have to work so hard alone.

Melanie Chitwood is accepting new clients for weekly therapy sessions!

I have clients from many different walks of life and from varying ethnic, geographical, educational, occupational, and socio-economic backgrounds. My clients are often facing challenges in daily life, in their relationships, in feeling understood/gotten, and in trying to have congruence in their lives. I work best with clients who are verbal processors, who are committed to the investment of weekly therapy sessions, and who are seeking greater insights, different perspectives, and to feel seen.

Tamara Sharifov

My clients quickly learn that their pains are not a weakness, but a portal towards wisdom and growth. Through my approach I work with you to enhance your innate strength, reconnect with your ability to continue thriving, and guide you towards self-compassion. I believe through the appropriate therapeutic approach, our deepest struggles and difficult life experiences can become the force of our greatest wisdom.

Colleen Hennessy

My clients are open-minded individuals exploring their identity, relationships, or sexuality outside of traditional norms. Whether you're navigating nonmonogamy, queerness or kinky dynamics, or just want a therapist with a fresh approach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space. If you're facing anxiety, trauma, or uncertainty, I'm here to help you explore and find the clarity and support you need.

Tiffany Rodrigues

I love working with individual adults and teens (16yo and up) who are wanting to create more space for themselves in their world. That could look like finding new ways to rest, identifying triggers and tools to safely feel big emotions, learning to effectively communicate in relationships, exploring alignment and safety in your identity, getting your basic needs met, and so much more. Part of my work with teens includes parent/guardian education and outside resourcing for additional support.

Harry Dixon

If you're someone who's feeling lonely, depressed, and lost and confused about who you are. You may be at a crossroads of knowing some or all of your identities but unsure how they all fit. I get it, and my therapy is centered around you and your lived experience. I want you to know that there is hope for you, you are not alone and together we can make helpful changes and work towards your best self. The highest compliment a client can give me is "you get me"

Jamie Swanson

I am passionate about creating a safe, affirming, and empowering space for LGBTQ+ and transgender individuals, polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships, and people from all walks of life seeking deeper understanding, meaningful connections, and inner healing. My work is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and the belief that everyone deserves support personalized to their unique journey.

Cynthia Valentine

My clients are hardworking, smart and intuitive. They're also at the end of their rope and don't know what else to do to help themselves. I take a whole-person approach. All parts of you are welcome! Anxiety can layer on top of other emotions making it hard to get to the root causes and struggles. Undiagnosed ADHD without proper support or recognition can throw a wrench in (all) your plans. I can help clear away the fog. Let's make what you LOVE and VALUE the center of your life.

Hayden Dover

Do you and your partner struggle with communication issues, conflict or sexual issues that undermine your ability to have a fulfilling relationship? Do you long for deeper emotional and sexual intimacy? Do you and your partner feel like roommates? Do you feel defeated and frustrated about having the sort of connection and support that you crave? I support couples in creating their optimal relationship in which they feel fully known, loved, connected, and supported in being their best selves.
