I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families. My professional experience includes inpatient hospitalization, community-based mental health, and private practice settings, allowing me to support clients with a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. I specialize in grief and loss, relationship concerns, caregiving stress, chronic and terminal illness, workplace burnout, and major life transitions. I also have specialized experience supporting individuals and families affected by Huntington’s Disease and strive to provide an inclusive, culturally responsive space where clients feel respected and supported.
For the past 20 years, I've worked across private practices, youth development centers, schools, and mental health clinics. My passion is to work with adults navigating major life transitions. Whether you are a college student or approaching retirement, my hope is to walk alongside you during this time of change and uncertainty; to help create the conditions for you to reconnect with your authentic self and remember what lights you up. We can explore ways to recognize and acknowledge your anxiety that moves beyond words.

Hi there! I’m glad you’re here. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m honored to be part of your journey.
I’m Daniel, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who provides therapy in both English and Mandarin. I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and cultural or identity-related concerns.
My goal is to create a warm and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I look forward to walking alongside you as you navigate this chapter of your life.
A lot of people who find their way to me have spent years in a world that wasn't quite built for the way their brain works, and they're still figuring out what that means. I'm Brittany, a Neurodiversity affirming Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with adolescents, adults, and seniors. I specialize in supporting Autistic teens and adults, including those who received their diagnosis later in life, alongside people navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADD/ADHD, and relationship challenges. Clients often tell me I'm the first therapist who has really understood them.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults (ADHD, autism), LGBTQIA individuals, and those navigating chronic illness, burnout, and perimenopause or menopause. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like nothing they’ve tried has worked.
You might feel like you’re constantly “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, or like simple things take more energy than they should. That’s not a personal failure—it’s a sign that your brain and body need different kinds of support.
With over twelve years of experience, I offer therapy that is warm, affirming, and practical. I help clients reduce overwhelm, build coping tools that actually work, and better understand how their brain and body function.
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you build a life that works for you.
I have a strong track record of working with parents, building relationships and connecting with youth who are reluctant or nervous about therapy. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Masters in Education and Childhood Development. I've worked as a therapist in Jr. High and High School settings and currently work in private clinic to heal family relationships. I give you the tools to be kinder to yourself and step back into your life refreshed and empowered.

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.
