EMDR Therapists in San Diego, CA

Hello! I'm Elizabeth Hua, and I'm dedicated to offering steadfast support every step of the way. With a foundation in counseling and a Certificate in EMDR training, I am devoted to guiding you towards emerging from these trials as a more robust and resilient individual.

Raising humans (and being one!) is challenging beyond measure. You plan to parent differently than how you were parented and that seems simple enough...if it weren't for the fact that your baby was up all night, your toddler is screaming at the top of his lungs while decorating his body with the oatmeal you just made him, and your big kid is crying about how none of her clothes feel right on her body and she needs all new clothes, NOW. You told yourself you wouldn't yell today, but it is barely sunrise, and the sun has already set on that goal!

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Maybe you are feeling trapped by patterns of substance use, gambling, shopping, social media, or other addictive patterns. There is hope and I can help you. Perhaps life-stage challenges are causing a level of emotional constraint that you feel trapped, confused, and unclear about how to move forward. Perhaps you are a new mom or an older adult who is grappling with the changes in your body and relationships, as well as stressors that lead you to feel frustrated and confused about what to prioritize and how to take care of yourself effectively.

I work with motivated individuals who are making a big impact in their work, home, community, and world. Established professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, business owners, ministry leaders, and mom's in midlife receive specialized support so you can achieve your desired changes in life personally + professionally. Perfectionism, overwhelm, fear of failure, frustrations and shame around recurring struggle keep getting in the way of you feeling connected to what matters most - your work, your family, your health. It can get loud btw your ears, especially after failed attempts of trying to figure things out on your own.

Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving us grappling with feelings of anxiety, depression, and strain on our relationships. In these moments, it can be difficult to see a way forward or to recognize the strength within ourselves. As a compassionate and skilled therapist, my goal is to help you harness your existing strengths while developing new strategies for coping and growth. By drawing on the tools you already possess and introducing additional resources tailored to your unique needs, we can work together to build a path towards healing and resilience.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here! Finding time for yourself can be a daunting task, especially with the heavy demands of school and work. My client's are primarily college students, recent graduates, and young professionals seeking balance in their lives and a space to process life events. I strive to create a genuine, warm, trusting and collaborative space where my clients feel empowered to explore, process and heal.

Do you find yourself stuck in unwanted patterns? Are you overwhelmed with past experiences that seem to still be lingering? Are you wrestling with anxiety and difficult emotions? I believe that healing is possible! I believe so many of us stay stuck because we do not have the right support for healing. While having an outlet to talk or vent can be helpful, my approach involves working more directly with the root cause of the issue, which is stored in our nervous system. I enjoy helping client’s make sense of what’s going on, so we can compassionately resolve the identified problems and achieve their goals.

Do you find yourself shut down or suppress your feelings? Do you struggle in relationships due to your trauma? Are you unsure of where you belong? I work with people of all identities to process unresolved feelings due to trauma. I strive to provide you a safe and non-judgmental space, in order for you to develop coping mechanisms for trauma symptoms (anxiety, depression, addiction, etc.) and to explore aspects of yourself. I can help you let go of Past HURTS and develop tools to find RELIEF.

If you are having challenges with trauma, anxiety, and depression, or keeping your mood stable, I can assist you with finding the right balance and solutions. Left untreated those feeling of hopelessness, sadness, loss of interest in activities can have a negative impact on your life. I work with people who have trauma, some have flashbacks, deep fear of trust and hypervigilance.

Hello, my name is Patricia Bevan, and I believe meeting each person where they are and incorporating treatment modalities best suited to that individual's needs and personality, including EMDR. I have extensive professional experience working with adults, children, and families. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds to help them discover their true selves and overcome the obstacles that may obscure their journey to happiness and self-fulfillment. I use evidence-based therapy techniques combined with warmth, compassion, and sometimes a bit of humor to help you meet your goals.

I have engaged in years of specialized training in trauma-informed care, and utilize a collaborative and compassionate approach to counseling in an effort to foster hope, healing and resilience.

I believe strong, healthy, and supportive relationships are the cornerstones of healing. Your sense of belonging, intention and feeling seen are at the heart my practice. My intention is to help you explore the adaptive patterns you have developed and work towards challenging the patterns you would like to shift. You are the experts of your own lives, I simply offer a new perspective and hopefully encourage you to find clarity in the areas of your life which are ambiguous, hurtful or distressing.

Seeking relief from depression or anxiety in the midst of this COVID-19 crisis? Need to repair or rebuild a love relationship? Longing to leave behind the lingering impact of a trauma, loss, or chronic distress? Want to find new motivation and direction in your life? I am here to help.

I’m passionate about working with all types of individuals facing a wide variety of challenges. People come to therapy because they’re wanting support, change, or healing. I believe that together we can co-create a therapy space that helps accomplish this.

Additionally, I'm trained in EMDR for trauma reprocessing and recovery.

I have worked in several areas of mental health care and have truly found my purpose and passion in assisting those who struggle with trauma and/or addiction. I understand how trauma has been locked within the psyche and having an individual feel as though they are stuck within themselves. I understand that addiction was a solution to several problems at the time because it allowed relief but in reality it only masked the underlying issues. My goal for each of my clients is to have them recognize their own strengths and abilities so they may continue or begin to live meaningful lives.
