Who We Treat

Compassionate, evidence-based therapy for teens, young adults, and adults — in person in La Jolla or virtual across California.

Care isn't one-size-fits-all. We work with clients across the lifespan and across specific lived experiences, meeting each person exactly where they are — mind, body, and culture. Whether you're just beginning to navigate who you are, or you're managing the pressure of performing at your highest level, we have a provider who understands your world.

By Life Stage

Adolescents (14+)

Adolescence is full of change — academically, socially, emotionally. We support teens navigating anxiety, mood concerns, school adjustment, and the early work of figuring out who they are.

College-Age & Young Adults

The transition into independence brings its own pressures — identity, relationships, performance, and the weight of "what's next." We help young adults build the tools to move through this chapter with more clarity and less overwhelm.

Adults

For adults managing anxiety, mood concerns, disordered eating, sleep difficulties, or chronic illness, we offer grounded, evidence-based care that treats the whole person — not just the symptom.

By Population

Athletes & High Performers

Competing at a high level takes a toll that goes beyond the physical. We support athletes and high performers navigating performance pressure, performance anxiety, and the identity work that comes with a life built around achievement.

Men

We offer a space for men to explore what they're carrying — without needing to already have the language for it.

People of Color

We approach every client with cultural humility, curiosity, and respect — understanding the individual within their family, culture, community, and lived experience before anything else.

LGBTQIA2S+ Individuals

We provide affirming, identity-centered care for LGBTQIA2S+ clients navigating mental health alongside their own process of self-understanding and belonging.
