Sabrina Crispin

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.9 mi away • Temecula, CA


Life can feel heavy sometimes, and you don't have to sort through everything on your own. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, or a season of change, therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of what's been coming up for you.

I work with adults who want support feeling more balance, more connected to themselves, and better able to manage the challenges in front of them. I also support women through pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, and other meaningful life transitions.

My goal is to create a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and real. We'll talk through what's been difficult, identify what may be keeping you stuck, and work together toward changes that feel manageable and meaningful in your everyday life.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 23 mi away • Vista, CA


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.

Angela Phillips-McCord

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away • San Juan Capistrano, CA


Hi, I’m Angela Phillips, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of Lotus Healing and Wellness. I help teens and adults navigate trauma, anxiety, identity exploration, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions through trauma-informed, inclusive, and affirming therapy, with a special commitment to supporting women and the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live as their truest, most authentic self. I also believe we all have the capacity to transform our lives, though sometimes we need support, guidance, and a safe space to begin that process. I know what it feels like to believe you have to hide parts of yourself or become someone else in order to be loved or accepted, and that understanding deeply shapes the way I show up as a therapist.

My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, heal the patterns and survival strategies that no longer serve you, and create a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and emotionally fulfilling.

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 Murrieta

Searching for therapists in Murrieta starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A Murrieta therapist may describe experience with approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, which can help you understand how they may structure sessions.

Murrieta is a smaller city, so local in-person options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Murrieta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can review profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
