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’.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jerry Moreau

My goal during our sessions is to create a container that is safe, caring, and trusting. By working together, you will become better able to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges in your life. You will become more receptive to the possibilities that await you and better able to move toward goals that bring greater satisfaction and commitment in your life.

Christine Tomasello | Therapist for Highly Sensitive People

I work with people who are struggling with life changes, grief from the loss of a loved one, the painful end of a relationship, low self esteem or self-worth, or challenges related to being an HSP. In therapy, you can find a safe and accepting space to process these painful experiences and together we work to break through barriers to happiness, build coping skills to navigate life's ups and downs with peace and ease, and heal emotional wounds that hold you back from being your authentic self.

Dr. Sven Schild

I understand that everyone sometimes encounters obstacles in their lives that seem insurmountable. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment that allows each client to reach their full potential. I will work with you to address your symptoms and help you to rediscover your inner strengths to deal more effectively with your life's challenges and to guide you in the development of new life skills.

Georgia Sinclair

I support my clients in a way that honors their goals and ensures that their autonomy and needs are at the center of our work together. This approach allows me to work with people from various different backgrounds and experiences. While I primarily work with eating disorders, I have experience working with a range of mental health concerns. What I'm most passionate about is the relational work of therapy, so if that sounds like something you're interested in - reach out for an intro call!

Allyson Ford

It is my passion to work with clients who struggle with eating disorders, OCD and related issues. I know what it is like to struggle with all of these and I also know that healing is possible. My clients are some of the most caring and intelligent people I know. I aim to help you reclaim your life and build a life of meaning. I have had great success in helping people recover from all these struggles and in you defining what recovery means to you. I will always meet you where you are at.

Eric van der Voort

Are you distracted by thoughts & insecurities during sex? Does sex feel like a performance or an obligation? Do you worry you'll disappoint your partner because of difficulties with arousal, erections, or orgasms? Do you sometimes avoid sex altogether because working through relationship issues feels complicated or overwhelming? If so, you’re neither alone nor broken. Like many, you may be experiencing performance anxieties, low sexual desire, or have inaccurate or unhelpful beliefs about sex.

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"

Vitoria Cottiss

Life can be messy — relationships, loss, and big changes have a way of leaving us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. But you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here to help you unpack the patterns and beliefs that have shaped your life so far, and together, we’ll work on building new ways of relating to yourself and others that feel more authentic and connected. Healing isn’t always easy, but it’s possible — and you deserve to have help along the way.
