Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
The aging brain doesn't simply wear out — it slows down, losing the sharp, fast-wave activity that drives memory retrieval, processing speed, and mental clarity.
Neurofeedback counteracts this drift by stimulating underactive neural networks back toward more youthful patterns of activation — a process clinicians call "brain brightening." Research documents improvements in memory, processing speed, and cognitive sharpness in older adults, offering a genuinely proactive tool against age-related decline.

Advent Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT (R.N.-retired)
The aging process brings distinctive challenges — loss of independence, declining health, grief, isolation, and questions of purpose and legacy. My nursing background affords me a thorough understanding of how medical realities intertwine with emotional and spiritual well-being. I offer compassionate, patient-centered support for seniors navigating this season of life, as well as guidance for family members walking the path alongside them.

Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
I work in a city with (I suspect) more retirees than working adults. My background ranges from expertise in geriatric dating to being a Medical Psychologist who used to be on staff at Eisenhower Medical Center.

Tara Maazel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PN1-NC
I completed the Geriatric Social Work Education Consortium (GSWEC) program at the Veteran’s Health Administration and enjoy working with older adults to support them with any struggles they may be having, whether those are related to mental health or chronic physical illness. I believe in everyone's ability to heal and thrive, at any stage of life and I look forward to helping you define what that looks like for you.

Brandy Jaramillo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
In working with older adults facing emotional, cognitive, and physical challenges, I use a tailored approach combining Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Therapy. I help clients identify their strengths and set meaningful goals (SFBT), address negative thought patterns and improve mood (CBT), and enhance motivation for maintaining independence and well-being (Motivational Therapy). This holistic approach supports aging with dignity, resilience, and a greater sense of control.

Chula Vista is one of California's fastest-growing cities and sits directly north of the US-Mexico border, with a predominantly Hispanic population and a large community of residents who maintain close ties to Tijuana — making bilingual Spanish-English therapy not a specialty but a basic access requirement for much of the population. The city's location within the broader San Diego metro means residents have access to the full range of institutional mental health resources, including Scripps Health and Sharp HealthCare, while Chula Vista's own private therapy community has expanded significantly alongside its population growth. The city's significant Filipino community and growing South Asian population add further dimensions to the demand for culturally competent care. Military families connected to Naval Base San Diego also form part of the local therapy clientele given the city's proximity to base housing.
