I have experience with individuals and families who are living with mental health issues, and I also have extensive experience helping those with substance use problems.

Hi, I’m Dr. Lizeth Moreno.

My work focuses on creating a supportive and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and emotionally safe. I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult, and I strive to provide a space where you can explore your experiences, develop insight, and work toward meaningful change. My goal is to help clients build greater self-awareness and strengthen coping strategies.

I'm Mary, and I want you to know that whatever's bringing you here — anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that's fraying, grief you can't shake, or patterns you keep repeating despite your best efforts — you don't have to figure it out alone. I've worked with individuals, couples, families, and teens facing some of life's hardest chapters, and I genuinely believe that the right support at the right time changes everything.
I'm California-licensed and offer telehealth sessions statewide, which means flexible, private care from wherever you're most comfortable. I accept Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health, and I'm happy to help you understand your benefits before your first session.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Encinitas
Searching for therapists in Encinitas starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Encinitas therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with your specific needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they structure sessions, what concerns they often support, and whether their style feels like a good fit.
Encinitas is a smaller coastal city, so local in-person appointment options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your search across licensed therapists in California while still letting you filter for someone who fits your preferences. Consider practical factors like appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, therapeutic approach, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Encinitas can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find many therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer virtual or in-person care. You can browse therapists, review bios, check your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
