Hi, I'm Brian! I'm a licensed counselor with a background in holistic medicine as well. I've worked with a variety of mental health concerns, with my primary specialty being treating trauma.
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.
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.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the same relationship cycles, disconnected with others or yourself, or unsure what to do next. Maybe you are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a difficult season in your life and simply need a space where you don't have to have it all together or figure it out alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel heard, be seen, and begin making sense of what you have been experiencing.
I have experiencing working with teens, young adults, families, and couples using attachment-based approaches, meeting each person with curiosity, compassion, and free of judgment.
You don't have to have everything figured out, you just have to be willing to take the first step.
Hi there! My name is Abrianna Gift and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five years of experience and I would love to chat with you to see if we would be a good fit.
My name is Lois and I specialize in helping clients work through struggles in their relationship with others and themselves. Many come to me to work on setting healthy boundaries, processing and identifying emotions and learning new skills to practice outside of sessions. I am so glad you are here and I look forward to connecting with you!
I am a bilingual therapist offering therapy in both English and Spanish, and I work with couples, families, adolescents, young adults, and children through many different stages of life. I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, so I strive to create a warm, accepting space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, trauma, family concerns, or a difficult season of life, my goal is to help you feel supported as you heal, grow, and work toward the life and relationships you want.
If you are struggling with ADHD and/or symptoms of anxiety or depression or are dealing with difficult relationship issues or life transitions, I could be the therapist for you.
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own personal experiences and my interests in human behavior, attachment theory, and social justice. My nearly six years of experience working in community mental health have strongly influenced my therapeutic lens. I am LGBTQIA+-affirming, committed to working from an antiracist lens, and deeply value inclusivity of all kinds. I have been fortunate enough to serve a socioculturally diverse population, including adults living with severe and persistent mental illness, undocumented individuals, survivors of trauma, LGBTQ+ folks, and differently-abled children and adolescents.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in San Diego
Finding postpartum therapists in San Diego starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people look for talk therapy for postpartum depression, while others want a therapist with perinatal training or experience supporting new parents. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. The PMH-C credential can also signal advanced training in perinatal mental health.
San Diego has a large mental health care market, which can make it harder to narrow your options across neighborhoods, schedules, and appointment formats. For new parents, logistics matter. Unpredictable schedules, infant care, and physical recovery can make virtual appointments a practical option, while in-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office near home, work, or transit. Before booking, read therapist bios to understand their approach, availability, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in San Diego can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket session costs. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated costs before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
