Positive Psychology Therapists in San Diego, CA

I help adults who are struggling with issues of infertility, bereavement, grief and loss and life transitions. My clients are those who are yearning to be parents, have endured loss, sadness and anxiety while utilizing assisted reproductive technology in efforts to conceive and those facing multiple challenges on their path to parenthood. I also work with adults who have endured many different types of losses (death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, losses due to chronic illness...) and struggle to find ways to move forward. I work with young adults who are navigating issues of purpose and identity.

Hello! My name is Dr. Erin Cisneros and I am a clinical psychologist with a mission of helping others create meaningful, fulfilling lives. I provide online counseling for teens and adults. I specialize in helping clients navigate the complicated life transitions associated with the teen years and the 20s and 30s. In counseling, I offer a supportive, collaborative environment where your challenges and concerns can be addressed. I look forward to working with you!

Having trained at Notre Dame, UC Berkeley and Stanford, I bring rigorous scientific expertise into my clinical work with adolescents (ages 14-24), college students, and women. I assist clients with a range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, vocational or academic concerns, ADHD, relationship concerns, eating disorders, perfectionism, life transitions, multicultural and identity concerns, as well as family of origin challenges. I often work with high-achieving individuals who find themselves looking for practical solutions to the barriers that impede their success.

What I find to be meaningful about my work is the chance to sit with others, hear their unique stories, and collaboratively create long term goals that are in alignment with my client’s life’s purpose. As a therapist that specializes in positive psychology (the science of happiness), I enjoy exploring and reviewing my client's inner strengths and seeing how these strengths can be applied in their personal and professional lives. I use a unique combination of active listening, collaborating, and educating clients on some of the most important findings in the field of psychology today.

I specialize in chronic health conditions and trauma, which I understand first hand. Chronic medical conditions (i.e. dysautonomia POTS, EDS, Lyme disease, Bartonella, IBS, fibro, fatigue CFS, Hashimoto’s, mast cell MCAS, sickle cell disease, mold illness CIRS, etc.) often come with significant challenges, like fear, anxiety, grief, medical PTSD, and may interfere with relationships and daily function. I utilize various holistic evidence-based treatment modalities and practice-based evidence, contingent on each person’s needs and goals, with an added focus on mindfulness techniques, positive psychology, and strengths-based therapy.

My name is Chase Summers, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Central California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, stress, substance use, and co-occurring disorders. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Client-Centered, Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Informed therapeutic approaches.

Is your life not where you want it to be? Change is hard. While doing things differently can feel uncomfortable at first, it is possible to do, and becomes more comfortable with time. Change often applies to the behaviors we engage in, or the thoughts that we have. Change can also apply to our relationship with our thoughts, and it is powerful to become less tied to the random thoughts that appear in our head. Let us help you with this! We are passionate about helping people get unstuck and move forward in their lives. Our approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, and includes warmth, compassion and humor.

Dr. Fuller offers a comprehensive method of psychotherapy which integrates elements from the humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, energy psychology, gestalt, mindfulness, complex trauma, and positive psychology fields. He works with each person individually to construct a useful approach to problem resolution in as efficient and cost-effective a manner as possible. Dr. Fuller also offers brief consulting services which address areas in which a person feels "blocked" or somehow unable to perform at their best, e.g., parenting, financial prosperity, forming healthy relationships, and peak performance in business or sports.

Is Anxiety taking a toll on your daily life? Do you overthink and get caught up in a spiral of thoughts? I understand, professionally and personally, it can be overwhelming. Do you want to feel empowered to take control? As a dedicated therapist, my mission is to provide guidance, teaching, and healing in a safe space so you can build effective coping skills, learn how to work with that anxiety to reduce it and develop a stronger sense of self and confidence. Life has its ups and downs and it's time to develop tools for when those waves get real big to remind you of your strengths and resources to ride that crest. You deserve it!

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.

Throughout life we are all faced with stressors, traumas, and times of transition. During these times, it can be helpful to speak to a professional for guidance as you navigate life’s unavoidable challenges. As a licensed psychologist, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and supportive space for self exploration and personal growth. Together we will explore the places you feel stuck, process past events, deepen self understanding, and cultivate self acceptance so that you may experience longer lasting happiness, more fulfilling connections, and a more meaningful life.

Hello, I am Rebecca Davis, LMFT135557. I am a person-centered therapist that enjoys working with clients of all. I tend to work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; I have positive psychology and am person-centered. I am practicing other theories. I tend to work with at-risk youth on a regular basis. However, I have worked with adults and enjoy clients of all ages. I have worked with trauma, substance use, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and so much more. I try to create a non-judgmental, safe environment for my clients to feel open and safe.

We all want to be happy, feel fulfilled, be at peace and enjoy our days free from chronic worry, painful memories, behaviors and relationships that interfere with peace in the present moment and beyond. Yet experience tells us that suffering is inevitable-it is a part of life. Healing is moving through and beyond suffering and limitation, transforming suffering into freedom and personal power. My practice focus is on strategies and practices to heal, transform and find meaning and purpose.
