Authentic therapy for women, parents, and Highly Sensitive People. I’m Amy Lajiness, a San Diego-based therapist (LCSW) serving all of California. I specialize in Perinatal/Postpartum Mental Health and Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), helping clients navigate anxiety, life transitions, and spiritual challenges. I listen for who you are and what you are seeking, and provide insights and support to get your day-to-day life more closely aligned with the life you want to be leading.
My practice is inclusive, justice-oriented, and holistic—meaning I care about your mental, physical, and ecological well-being. I offer the unique option of outdoor nature sessions in San Diego, as well as secure video therapy for anyone in CA. If you’re looking for a therapist who values humor, compassion, and real connection, I’d love to meet you. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation.

Treatment Approach
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
Approach Description: With specialized training in Ecotherapy (nature therapy), Perinatal Mental Health, and Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), I use an eclectic approach that combines warmth, deep listening, an awareness of social systems, and practical tools such as CBT and solution-focused therapy to support you towards your goals. I also work with San Diego-based clients outdoors in addition to my online sessions for California residents.

Hi, I’m Amy Lajiness. As both a therapist and a fellow human, I believe that healing happens best when we can be our authentic selves—humor and all. Based in San Diego and serving all of California virtually, I provide a space that is compassionate, inclusive, and deeply committed to social justice.
I specialize in supporting women through all stages of life, with a specific focus on Perinatal Mental Health and Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). Being an HSP myself, I truly understand the unique beauty and challenges of this trait. My approach looks at the whole picture: how your mental, spiritual, and even ecological surroundings impact your well-being. Whether we’re meeting via secure video or walking together in a nature-based outdoor session, my goal is to help you find joy and connection amidst life’s transitions.
I know starting therapy takes energy you might not feel you have right now—let’s make it easy. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
