Daicy Magallon

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Colton, CA


I am a Latinx therapist who specializes in trauma and the healing journey that follows. My approach is grounded in both professionalism and personal experience. Having done my own therapy work, I understand the courage it takes to face painful experiences, navigate life's challenges, and commit to personal growth.

I recognize that healing is not always a linear process. Growth often involves discomfort, vulnerability, and persistence. Because of this, I strive to create a compassionate, culturally responsive space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change.

Whether you are processing trauma, navigating life transitions, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, authenticity, and respect for your unique experiences.

Therapist

Virtual • California


Seeking support is a brave and meaningful step, and I want to honor the courage it takes to be here. Grounded in trauma-informed care and the healing power of connection, I walk alongside clients with warmth and curiosity as they rediscover safety, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by both personal and professional experiences that deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the importance of meaningful support. I’ve worked with diverse populations in various settings where my focus was on supporting healing through a trauma-informed lens. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work degree from Baylor University, where I completed the clinical track and earned a certificate in trauma-informed care.

I provide therapy for adults, teens, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, mood disorders, and complex relationship dynamics. In addition to individual work, I support parents and co-parents in strengthening communication and collaboration to promote healthier family systems.

Amber Tyner

Therapist

Virtual • California


You've probably been the strong one for a long time. The one who figures it out, holds it together,

keeps moving. And maybe you're realizing that approach has a cost.

I'm Amber, the founder of Resolution Therapy & Wellness and a Licensed Marriage and Family

Therapist with 17 years of experience. I work with adults who are ready to stop white-knuckling their

way through anxiety, relationship patterns, and emotional overload — and start understanding

what's actually driving it.

I specialize in working with highly sensitive people (HSPs), LGBTQ+ individuals and allies, young

adults navigating identity and early relationships (ages 18–26), and anyone dealing with career

stress, grief, or the kind of relationship patterns that keep repeating. I bring a culturally sensitive,

strength-based lens to everything I do, and I take a direct, solution-focused approach — because I

know your time matters and you want to actually feel different, not just talk about feeling different.

I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Carelon Behavioral Health, and

Cigna. I offer evening appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 4:30pm — designed for

working adults who can't step away from their day.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I support deep-feeling individuals in gaining self‐knowledge, confidence in their own intuition and voice, and practical tools to navigate challenges when they resurface. My work is collaborative and person‐centered; I see therapy as a process of guiding you back to yourself, rather than telling you what you should do.

Together, we explore how past experiences may be impacting your life today, build awareness of your nervous system, and create space for clarity around your purpose and goals.

I am LGBTQIA+ and multiculturally informed and welcome diverse communities into my practice.

Happy patient looking away

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 Oceanside

Searching for therapists in Oceanside starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy in Oceanside for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties, therapy styles, and populations listed in their profiles. Details like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or experience with specific concerns can help you decide who may be a strong fit.

In a mid-sized coastal city like Oceanside, your best match may be near Downtown, Mission Avenue, Oceanside Beach, or available virtually from elsewhere in California. Some people prefer an office setting, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they communicate, structure sessions, and describe what working together may look like.

Therapy in Oceanside can be a significant investment 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 therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can compare therapists in Oceanside, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
