Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being a therapist isn’t just a job for me. It’s a calling shaped by my own mental health journey. Working with a therapist who truly understood me was life-changing, and it’s what inspired me to do this work. I know firsthand that meaningful transformation is possible when you are given the right support and tools, and my hope is to offer that experience to each of my clients. In our work together, you won’t get someone who simply sits back and nods. I am actively engaged and can help you feel understood even when you’re struggling to put things into words. If you’re someone who has trouble opening up, I can help you let people in and share what’s going on underneath in a way that is authentic to you. I balance thoughtful listening with meaningful input, offering perspective and guidance when it’s helpful, while making sure the work supports you in becoming more fully yourself rather than fitting into a mold. If you’re looking for a therapist who feels approachable, steady, and genuinely invested in your growth, and who can help you turn insight into real, lasting change, I’d be glad to connect. I offer a free consultation so you can see if we’re a good fit.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I offer online therapy for adults who want a thoughtful, grounded space to come home to themselves. My work is relational, warm, and deeply attuned—I’m interested in the stories you’ve carried, the identities that shape you, and the parts of you that are ready for more ease, expression, or alignment. Together, we slow down, get curious, and make room for the truths that have been waiting beneath the surface.

KIM RICHARDSON LINDLEY
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, I CADC II
Therapy can be a leap of faith, a hopeful search for relief from uncomfortable or unmanageable states, or a reach for deeper insight and meaning. Whether temporary, or longer term those first steps can at times be the most tentative, however quite rewarding once taken. My foundational training in the Psychodynamic, Depth and Humanistic traditions merged with innovative and evidence based advancements in attachment theory, neuroscience and the body’s stress response, have led me to a strengths based, integrative and client centered approach whereby each treatment plan is tailored appropriately to the unique needs of each client. With experience in Residential Inpatient, Intensive Outpatient and private practice, I view my work as a collaboration with the client that honors the person and their process working towards healthy relationships – with Self, others and their environment. My style has been described as calm, insightful and reflective. Areas of focus include EMDR, which has been deeply rewarding work for clients seeking support with trauma and addiction, and neuroscience based strategies aimed at regulating the nervous system to deal with the presence of anxiety and depression. I work in telehealth with teens and adults, and have experience with the unique challenges faced by clients who work in the motion picture industry.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
About My Practice
I provide specialized online therapy for adults (18+) navigating anxiety, trauma, and complex life challenges. Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a secure virtual environment, I create a supportive space for healing and personal transformation from wherever you are. My approach focuses on getting to the root of what's creating your struggles rather than just managing surface symptoms.
My Approach
My practice centers on what I call "updating your operating system"—we explore the roots of your patterns, understand how you got where you are, and consciously choose where you want to go next. This isn't about dwelling in the past; it's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. I bring together evidence-based techniques like CBT, ACT, Coherence Therapy, and clinical hypnosis with mindfulness practices, creating sessions that are collaborative and organic rather than rigid or prescribed.
Here's what might surprise you: one of the most powerful dimensions of real change is acceptance. Not the passive, resigned kind, but the courageous turning toward where you are with care and curiosity. This approach allows you to look squarely at reality and move forward from a place of truth rather than resistance.
Areas of Specialization
I specialize in supporting clients with:
Anxiety: Managing generalized worry, social anxiety, perfectionism-driven anxiety, decision paralysis, and the anxiety that stems from unprocessed trauma
Trauma Processing: Working through childhood trauma, parentification, relational wounds, and past experiences that continue to shape how you move through the world today
Complex Family Dynamics: Navigating challenging relationships with adult children, aging parents, partners, and other family members where boundaries feel blurred
Grief and Loss: Processing loss in its many forms—of people, relationships, the life you thought you'd be living, or your sense of purpose and identity
Patterns That No Longer Serve: Breaking cycles of people-pleasing, over-functioning, perfectionism, and abandoning your own needs to care for others
Benefits of Online Therapy
My virtual practice offers several advantages:
- Access specialized trauma-informed therapy from the comfort of your own space
- Greater scheduling flexibility across multiple time zones
- Elimination of travel time and transportation barriers
- A familiar environment that may enhance feelings of safety during vulnerable work
Getting Started
I work best with people who are managing to keep their heads above water but know something needs to shift—those experiencing mild to moderate concerns rather than acute crises. I welcome clients who are curious, open to looking at their lives holistically, and interested in a partnership approach. If you're willing to do the sometimes uncomfortable work of growth and want genuine understanding rather than therapy-speak, we'll likely be a good match.
My style is warm, direct, and refreshingly real. Research shows the most important factor in successful therapy is whether you feel genuinely understood and emotionally safe with your therapist—building that authentic connection is central to how I work.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I provide online therapy for adults and parents throughout California who are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of family life. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who are juggling a lot — careers, parenting, partnerships, and personal growth — and want a space to slow down, reflect, and feel supported.
My approach integrates relational therapy, attachment-based work, and neuroscience-informed practices that help clients better understand their emotional patterns, nervous system responses, and relationships. I have particular expertise supporting parents of neurodivergent children (including ADHD and autism), helping families reduce overwhelm and build more connection and understanding at home.
Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and practical. Together we work to build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and create more supportive ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about.

Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Since the advent of the Covid pandemic all sessions have been through teletherapy - either video or phone. While the initial motivator is protection of our physical health, the practice provides increased accessibility and convenience for clients. Studies (and practice) have shown that teletherapy can be equally effective as in-person therapy.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
