Hi, I’m Shelby, an LCSW with 12+ years of experience helping women stop overthinking, trust their intuition, and create healthy, secure relationships. I help high-achieving, self-aware women who feel stuck in anxiety, trauma, or repeating relationship patterns.
You want to stop overthinking, move past painful memories, and finally trust yourself. My clients seek clarity, calm, and confidence in life and relationships... and the tools to make real, lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience spanning child welfare, institutional settings like the Department of Corrections and Kaiser Permanente, and private practice. This give me a uniquely grounded perspective on the full range of human experience. I've worked extensively with families, adolescents, and adults, helping people navigate mood and personality disorders, domestic violence, anger management, and the complex aftermath of adoption and reunification. I am culturally competent and committed to meeting every client exactly where they are, with unconditional positive regard and a deep belief that there are always underlying causes behind the symptoms and behaviors that bring someone to therapy.
I believe deeply in the power of connection, healing, and human resilience. I’ve spent over 20 years walking alongside children, adults, and families through some of life’s hardest seasons.
What motivates me the most in this work is how meaningful change and healing can occur when a person feels truly seen, supported, and valued. I’ve witnessed incredible strength in the face of hardship. I’m continually inspired by the courage it takes to show up and do the work. It’s sacred work, and I’m grateful every day to be doing it.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, depression, or the weight of past trauma? I work with adults who want to feel more grounded, understood, and confident in navigating their lives. Together, we can make space for what you’ve been carrying, better understand what may be holding you back, and reconnect with your strengths. I offer a warm, affirming, and collaborative space where your story matters and change can happen at a pace that feels right for you.
Hi there, I'm Maria!
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and empowered throughout the process. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but you don’t have to navigate things alone. I look forward to walking alongside you in your journey toward healing and balance.
Hi, I'm Dr. Chigozie Jones Onuh, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I serve clients across all ages and demographics. I have experience in treating clients with Depression, PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorders, Schizophrenia, Mood disorders, Substance use disorders, and other psychiatric related issues.
I provide compassionate, comprehensive mental health care tailored to teens and families navigating complex mental health challenges. As a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and ADHD through integrative psychiatry and medication management.
We all have moments in our lives when we may feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or simply in need of extra support in reaching a balanced life. I am here to work with you on overcoming some of life’s biggest challenges. My experience has been with a focus on improving your overall quality of life. Collaboratively, I work with my clients to help them heal from the effects of trauma, work through grief and loss, life transitions, depression, anxiety, parenting struggles or relationship issues. I also have experience in helping parents and children who are managing early childhood development or ADHD concerns.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chula Vista
Searching for therapists in Chula Vista starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or major life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy styles listed in each profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A strong match often starts with a therapist whose experience fits your needs and whose approach feels clear from their bio.
Chula Vista has local therapy options across areas like South Bay, Eastlake, Otay Ranch, and nearby San Diego communities. A local office may work well if you prefer in-person sessions, while virtual appointments can give you more choice across California when commute time, work hours, or family schedules matter. Beyond location, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with clients.
Therapy in Chula Vista can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Chula Vista therapists, enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly with therapists on Headway, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
