Male Therapists in Pacific Beach, San Diego, CA

Curious about psychedelic therapy? Looking for a guided psychedelic experience? My name is Nick and I head up Pivot Psychedelics - a group of professionals that support individuals on guided psychedelic journeys, so that they are intentional, therapeutic, and safe. Our approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and nonjudgement to help you feel safe, held, and supported.

My ideal clients seek a collaborative and empowering approach to navigate life challenges. Open-minded and reflective, they value exploring personal narratives to reshape perspectives. They embrace the belief that stories shape identity and are eager to rewrite narratives that hinder growth. I will never rush or pressure a client to move faster than they are able, and I believe that therapy can be an empowering process. These clients seek to understand their authentic selves, even when their truth may not feel "pretty" or "convenient".

Who you are: Between the ages of 25 and 45. Life is "good" ~ not great. You have a sense that things should be a certain way, but they aren't. There is a gap. The gap may be clear ~ it may not. What is clear is that what has worked up until this point won't get you to where you want to be. You are ready for a change.

I imagine what you are seeking is some reassurance, some validation, some form of guidance, or maybe just some clarity in an unclear world. If you are feeling isolated and confused about the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that you cannot explain nor escape and feeling less and less in control, or just plain sick and tired of being sick and tired….call me right now for a free consultation. Please allow me to help navigate your journey of self discovery.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. I work under the firm belief that trust is the most important factor in a client-therapist relationship. This occupation is so much more than just an job in for me...it is my passion. I look forward to meeting you!

The philosophy is people + relationship = the good life. One's relationship to others and oneself is the basis of my work. Healing from the past, knowing the freedom of a better life, and becoming able to give and receive love are the transformative results of doing good work. Our work is successful when you become more of the person you are supposed to be: a whole person in life-giving relationship. My specialty is within the overlapping layers of say anxiety, depression, an unfolding course of work, and a better than expected day. Being a generalist, by specialty, my experience is in taking you as I find you.

My specialties include anxiety, depression, behavioral/ lifestyle issues, performance, and interpersonal communications. My goal is to help clients gain insight and understanding about themselves and others, helping them take back the power to live the fulfilling and meaningful life they were meant to live. Teamwork is key in this process and I believe together we can identify and conquer the challenges you are facing.

I offer a judgment free environment to explore your concerns, troubles, dreams, and questions. We will be on this journey together: I particularly like working with anxiety, stress, and career challenges. I also enjoy processing through spiritual questions and angst. Together, we will identify, clarify, and process emotions and ideas that are causing you discomfort. Just as importantly, we'll set goals together so you can effectively understand the progress you've made.

As a narrative therapist, I take a positive approach to therapy; helping clients build on their strengths and resources as a foundation for change. I believe that therapy can offer clients much more than a band aid for their problems but that it can help transform their lives and relationships in meaningful ways. I believe that therapy does not need to be a long-term process and encourage clients to take an active part in therapy.

I offer a safe space for honesty and vulnerability. In this environment, my clients are able to encounter the places in their lives where the valuable work can be done. My role as a therapist is not to right wrongs, fight battles, or change history. As your therapist, I will walk beside you in your trouble, help you see with clarity, help you navigate your challenges, take stock and marshal your strengths.

I specialize in working with high functioning professionals seeking personal and professional growth and development. Issues of expertise include professional athletes, leadership development, grief, chronic stress, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, parenting, perfectionism, men's intimacy issues, patterns of addiction, professional burnout and integrating one's spirituality in day to day life. I work from a developmental, depth perspective customized to an individual's unique challenges and goals. I enjoy helping high achieving adults fulfill their personal, professional and relationship potential while creatively addressing areas of challenge.

Accessible remote therapy for young professionals and couples. I help my clients in navigating anxiety, ADHD, major life transitions, burnout, and/or relationship issues. Specializing in supporting neurodivergent adults and couples, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your identity and relationships freely.

Are you lost, overwhelmed, sad, or alone? Are the waves of life crashing around you? If you or your loved ones are drowning in the suffering caused by relationship conflict, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction, look no further. You are not alone and there is hope! Desperation and suffering brought me to the point of reaching out for help many years ago and soon the seas began to calm. As life came into balance and my spirit healed, guiding others out of the storm into peaceful waters became my mission.

Many struggle with anxiety and depression, and this is not uncommon. Whether it be nervousness, sadness, relational difficulties, or feeling like we aren't where we are "supposed to be" in life, there are many obstacles that cause us to feel "stuck." My job as a therapist is to help you get "unstuck" by aiding you in better understanding the underlying factors contributing to these difficulties, many of which are often rooted in thinking habits and relational patterns. My primary focus is on anxiety and depression, and how the combination of unhealthy thinking and unhealthy relational patterns cause us to feel anxious and depressed.

My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered that promotes a nonjudgmental stance, genuineness , and empathy. I believe patients have the answers within themselves, and my job is to help them find these answers and actualize their potential. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who experience challenges including but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, stress, relationships, personal growth, life transitions, and cultural and spiritual issues.

Have you been asked by a wife, husband, partner, significant other or employer to make changes in your sexual behavior? Do you find it difficult to change? I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with men who struggle with consensual Out of Control Sexual Behavior. I provide assessment, individual and group therapy for men who are experiencing Out of Control Sexual Behavior.

One of the most important things for parents of pre-teens to remember, is that the biggest motivation for your child's behaviors is attention from you. Your child will try all sorts of things to get and keep your attention, and those behaviors that work will increase while those behaviors that don't will typically go away. Children love and thrive on praise from their parents, but in many cases, those behaviors that yield negative attention from you (such as yelling or punishing) will often reinforce those unappreciated behaviors, as well.
