Substance Use Therapists in La Jolla, CA

For 30 years, I have specialized in attending to the needs of my clients with addiction problems and mental health needs. I am very passionate about working with individuals who want to improve themselves, live a productive and happier, peaceful life. I will help you to find the right skills and tools to utilize in your recovery.

As a holistic breath and life coach, I specialize in helping adults and teenagers break free from negative thoughts and unhealthy emotional patterns that could keep people stuck. By using a variety of techniques such as Breathwork, NLP, and Mental Emotional Release Breakthrough sessions, etc., I empower my clients to truly transform their lives from inside out. I strongly believe that unresolved emotional trauma can manifest as physical illness. My work is a "do with process", and I know together we can make your goals a reality.

Emotional healing is so important but so difficult at times! Feeling anxious, depressed or lost in trauma can feel like a whirlwind. Overwhelming. But there are ways through it. I like to think the way I work with someone is real, authentic and sacred. Connecting and understanding brings hope and renewal. We all need the space, community and outlets to find peace and understanding.

I believe in providing a collaborative and supportive environment to maximize the therapeutic experience. I help clients cope with negative thoughts and behaviors that may hinder relationships and overall quality of life. Therapy is focused on building and nurturing interpersonal relationships and decreasing daily stress, by assisting clients in capitalizing on strengths and defining goals.

My primary goal is to form empathic and compassionate relationships with my clients that will allow for the necessary teamwork to address and overcome the obstacles they are facing. I understand past and present difficulties within the context of family relationships. I think of each person as unique, dynamic, and changeable. I will adapt the treatment approach to my client's needs to enhance the emotional growth by promoting balanced lifestyles, positive self-esteem, and essential life skills.

My name is Alysia Wong and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I primarily work with adults who need support with mood disorders, trauma, domestic violence, life transitions, or anxiety. I approach treatment with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I may incorporate Person-Centered, Strength-Based, Trauma Informed, and Applied Behavioral Analysis modalities as well. I have been working in the mental health system of care since 2013 in various settings (inpatient, outpatient, private practice, court-mandated).

In our busy lives, we get caught up in so many issues that deplete us. We keep pushing our limits and can’t seem to stop. If you are doing too much for others, whether at work or in your relationships with family and friends, and not enough for yourself, let me help you bring more balance and fulfillment into your life.

After 35 years in the San Diego area, I feel particularly well suited to working with clients with a variety of "problems in living." Managing stress, lifestyle balance, coping with relationship issues, and workplace difficulties affect us all, and having professional support and input is now not only acceptable, but crucial. And, research has shown that of all the factors that are key in predicting a positive outcome in any form of therapy, the quality of the relationship with your therapist is the most important. And that is my focus!

Have you experienced a traumatic event you cannot seem to get out of your mind? Do anxiety and worry get in the way of living your best life? Does constant stress suck the joy out of life? Do you have trouble falling or staying asleep? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I may be the right therapist for you. I want you to know that recovery is possible, no matter how long you have been struggling. My practice specializes in treating PTSD, trauma-related guilt, anxiety disorders (e.g., social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder), insomnia, stress from infertility/pregnancy loss, and addiction/dual-diagnosis.

Currently, I am also offering tele-mental health services. Please contact me for more information or for my current CV. See also: www.linkedin.com/in/drmaryschulerdewitt www.drmarydewitt.com

I am a well-trained Licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience treating clients of all ages with various issues.

Learning why we think, feel, and act the way we do is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. From there, we gain the ability to adjust, grow, connect, and show up in the world as our most authentic selves. I work primarily with addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. My approach to treating addictive problems is self-empowering and open minded. In addition to the listed disorders I treat, I love working with women's issues, relationship issues, phase of life issues, religious trauma, and the LGBTQ+ population.

People want straight talk from a psychologist, not psychobabble. They don’t want a passive therapist who just listens. Nor do they want a know-it-all to tell them exactly what to do. They want a competent psychologist who gives real feedback about what he sees going on. They want someone with real life experience who can relate to their problems as a professional, a parent or a child. Before becoming a psychologist, Dr. Evans had experience serving in the Peace Corps, running a business, getting married and having children.

I think we all have moments where we feel like we don't fit in. I decided to embrace that feeling. I help my clients promote and accept that feeling of otherness through the therapeutic process. After all, that has to be what makes us each unique. The principles of authenticity, self-love, self-care, self-acceptance, believing in oneself, operating from a place of integrity, and self-determination are important factors in healing and wellness.

I have been providing psychotherapy since 2008 and I am very passionate about helping people get well. I strongly believe that all people have the ability, and deserve to, be well and happy. I also know through my work in this field, and through personal experience, that all of us as human beings will find ourselves stuck at various points in our lives and that's when we need some support and encouragement. My approach to treatment is to assist patients to find their own strengths, skills, and accomplishments and use those strengths and skills to get themselves through their current challenges.
