Find a therapist in California — covered by insurance

Hello, and welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in San Diego, CA. I specialize in helping individuals overcome the lasting effects of childhood experiences, as well as present traumas they may be facing. I have worked with adults, children and families in a variety of settings. I have provided space for people during the toughest of life transitions while teaching them tools to cope with the overwhelming emotions of grief and trauma. I’d like to be there for you too!

My goal is to offer community and support to those in need, especially in the Black and Brown communities. I graduated from Argosy University with a master's in counseling psychology and eager to be of service!

I'm a LCSW providing telehealth out of Southern California. Growing up in Long Beach, I'm accustom to a variety of populations and personally have experience working in Addiction Medicine, with Child Welfare Services, and as an ally for my LGBTQ+ clients. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation — not a clinical transaction. I show up as a genuine, engaged partner in your process, not a blank slate behind a notepad. I'm in your corner, and I want you to feel that from the first session. My style blends warmth with honesty (think supportive but direct). Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Life is full of ups and downs, and I have learned from both personal and professional experience that 'suffering in silence' is not really sustainable or healthy for anyone. You deserve to feel heard and to function at your best level. I have 6 years' experience post-graduation from the University of Texas with helping folks do just that. From nonprofits, to medical clinics, to correctional facilities, to teletherapy, I have connected deeply and partnered with many clients and families to trudge through some of their darkest hours and find more validation, calmness, and acceptance. My fluency in Spanish has given me opportunities to break down walls and connect with hundreds of clients whose cultural background is different than mine. I would be honored to have the chance to see if working together is a good fit for your healing journey.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in complex post-traumatic stress. I have extensive experience working with first responders and their families in both trauma and relationship discord. I have worked heavily with combat veterans as well. I work with PTSD, depression, anxiety and domestic violence.

My name is Kianna, and I have a passion for helping individuals who are battling anxiety, stress, overthinking, and people-pleasing. I work with people who are feeling stuck and in need of more support as they create meaningful change in their lives. My goal is to guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself and what makes you feel your best.

You can expect a steady, thoughtful presence and a grounded space where your full experience is welcomed. I work in a calm, collaborative way that helps you feel understood and supported as you explore what’s been happening in your life, relationships, and emotions. My style is warm, attentive, and paced so you never feel rushed.

I'm a non-boring therapist who recognizes life can be a hot mess, wants to understand YOU, & weaves humor into therapy! I specialize in relationship issues & help get you feeling good about yourself & your relationships. I've worked with clients in domestic violence and unhealthy relationships for years, so know you don't have to carry that stress, anxiety, self-doubt - you deserve awesome relationships that bring security, joy & excitement.

My name is Jennifer Cruz, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I am passionate about working with people to help them heal and grow. I empathize with the many challenges people face in life and I want to help.

I was born and raised in Brazil, and grew up in various countries of Latin America and Europe as well as in the United States. I offer an integrative track to psychotherapy that combines insight oriented therapies with a solution focused approach to help clients make more effective choices and transition through challenging moments in their lives.

I'm interested in helping you become your best, authentic self - whatever that looks like! Therapy is about relationships -- the relationship between therapist and client as well as the relationship the client has with themselves and others. My goal as a therapist is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood and to take that capacity and generalize it throughout your lived experience. As a therapist, I examine your memories, perceptions, and presence to paint a vibrant picture of who you are.
