I run Unscripted Therapy, a practice focused on helping people break out of stuck patters.

I work with individuals who are tired of having the same conversations and somehow ending up right back where they started. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, or relationship patterns that keep repeating, something isn’t working and at this point, that’s pretty clear.

My approach is direct, collaborative, and focused on actually changing what’s not working. I’m not going to just sit there nodding while you vent and then ask how that made you feel for the tenth time. We’ll figure out what’s keeping you stuck and start doing something different about it.

Therapy with me is honest, practical, and yes, sometimes a little blunt. But it’s also real. If you’re looking for something that actually helps you move forward (not just talk about why you’re stuck), we’ll probably be a good fit.

Please note: Insurance is accepted for individual therapy only. Couples and family therapy are private pay and are not billed through insurance.

Hi I'm Natalie and I want to help you build a life that feels authentic and purposeful. Do you feel like you’re navigating life on autopilot, and have difficulty showing up for your work, your relationships, or yourself? You may find yourself caught in cycles of people-pleasing or seeking external validation, only to end up feeling drained and unfulfilled. If you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, know that you don’t have to navigate this alone. In our sessions, we’ll move beyond the 'what' to understand the roots of your struggle while building practical, compassionate strategies to help you reclaim your confidence and advocate for your needs.

Kirra Walsh

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • San Marcos, CA


Hi, I’m Kirra. I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who believes that meaningful therapy begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and respected. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity development, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other experiences that may leave you feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

I value creating an affirming space where you can show up as your authentic self. I have a particular passion for supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals, as well as clients from multicultural and multiethnic backgrounds. My own experience growing up across several U.S. states and overseas in Japan and Guam has shaped my appreciation for the many cultural, family, and relational influences that make each person's story unique.

You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Wherever you are in your journey, we can begin there.

Mendy Rayford

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I believe that true growth begins when we feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and practical — I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build insight, and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.

My clinical style integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Approaches, and Trauma-Informed Care. I also draw from strengths-based and person-centered frameworks to help clients reconnect with their resilience and inner resources. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or past trauma, we’ll work together to develop strategies that feel authentic and sustainable for you.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University San Marcos and have worked in diverse settings, including community mental health, healthcare, and private practice. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients from a wide range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I’m deeply committed to fostering inclusivity, respect, and cultural humility in my work.

Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and attentive. My goal is to help you feel empowered, supported, and capable of meaningful growth — not only in therapy, but in all areas of your life.
