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.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
One thing the pandemic taught us is that virtual therapy can produce great clinical outcomes. If you’re considering doing EMDR remotely due to location or convenience, we can utilize the bilateral stimulation that is a key component of EMDR in a variety of ways during video sessions. I offer the option to rent an easy to use set of ‘remote tappers’ that can enhance our work together and bring the most of the therapeutic experience into the comfort of your home.

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.

Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Whether you're adjusting to life with a new baby, wondering if your young child is on track developmentally, worried about your child's anxiety, navigating a difficult transition, or feeling stuck in patterns with your teen, you don't have to figure it out alone.
I believe that behavior always has meaning. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work to understand the experiences, relationships, and developmental needs that may be shaping them. Together, we'll build on your family's strengths while helping your child or teen develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive.
I specialize in working with infants and young children, children, and parents. My approach is grounded in attachment, developmental science, and play therapy, creating a space where children feel safe enough to express themselves and parents feel supported rather than judged. I also have specialized training in infant mental health and enjoy working with families during pregnancy, infancy, and the early years to strengthen the parent-child relationship, support healthy development, and address concerns before they become bigger challenges.
My goal is for every family to leave therapy with a deeper understanding of themselves and one another, along with practical tools and renewed hope for the future.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
You might find yourself reacting in ways you later regret, getting pulled into the same relationship dynamics, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to take over. Our sessions focus on helping you understand the functions of emotions or behavioral patterns that are hard to change, and supporting you in feeling equipped to experiment with new ways of being.
In sessions, I don’t just sit back and listen. I’m engaged, thoughtful, honest, and precise in my work - I value understanding your internal experience as accurately as possible and tailoring treatment to closely match your needs. I’ll help you slow things down, name what’s happening in real time, and connect it to larger patterns—while also building concrete skills to help you respond differently. My work is grounded in DBT and relational therapy, so we’re balancing insight with practical change.
I have particular expertise in emotion dysregulation and complex relationship patterns, including when things feel intense, confusing, or hard to control. I also work with people whose struggles are less obvious, but still leave them feeling stuck or dissatisfied. I offer telehealth sessions in California and New York.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
Self awareness inspires confidence and clarity in our values, desires, and boundaries. Therapy provides a relational space where you learn to trust yourself despite expectations from family, friends, and culture. It's a sacred space; a place you can come unscripted and raw. My hope is to provide a safe place for you to cultivate a deeper connection with yourself.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Therapy for Anxious Overthinkers, Perfectionists & Couples
You’re outwardly capable, but inwardly stretched thin. Maybe you’re always overthinking, saying yes when you want to say no, or feeling pressure to “hold it together” even when you’re struggling. I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or relationship conflict—and want more than just coping skills.
Therapy can help you feel emotionally safe again—in your mind, in your body, and in your relationships. Let’s work together to reconnect you to yourself.

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.
