Encinitas, California therapist: Reid Kessler, psychologist
EFT

Reid Kessler

Psychologist, PsyD
I’m a psychologist who works with adults, teens, and couples, and I aim to offer therapy that feels grounded, thoughtful, and genuinely human. My style is relational and psychodynamic, which means we pay attention not only to symptoms, but also to the deeper patterns underneath them—how you’ve learned to cope, how relationships have shaped you, and what might be keeping you stuck. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why the same struggles keep repeating. Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what you’re going through, with curiosity and compassion. I try to create a space that feels safe and steady, but also honest and growth-oriented—where you can be fully yourself and gradually build more freedom in how you live and relate. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, or challenges at home or school, therapy can help you feel more clear, confident, and connected. I’d be honored to work with you.

Carlsbad, California therapist: Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting, marriage and family therapist
EFT

Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting

Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Seeking therapy is a courageous first step, and I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable trusting. My hope is that from our very first conversation, you'll experience a space where you can exhale, feel genuinely heard, and know that you don't have to carry life's challenges alone. I believe meaningful change happens within the safety of a trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, combining evidence-based practices with deep respect for your unique story, strengths, and values. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll work together to understand the patterns that have shaped your experiences and discover new ways of responding that promote lasting healing and growth. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, betrayal and infidelity, trauma, infertility, postpartum challenges, perimenopause, grief, body image concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to change, therapy can provide a place to gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most. Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is both compassionate and practical—someone who offers thoughtful guidance while creating space for reflection, insight, and meaningful change. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as you discover your own path toward greater peace, confidence, and connection. If you're considering therapy, I invite you to reach out. Finding the right therapist matters, and I would be honored to learn more about your story, answer your questions, and help you determine whether we're a good fit. Even if you're unsure where to begin, you don't have to have it all figured out before taking that first step.

San Diego, California therapist: Patricia Fahmy, licensed professional counselor
EFT

Patricia Fahmy

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You understand why you struggle in relationships, yet the same patterns keep showing up. You may overthink, seek reassurance, struggle with trust, avoid vulnerability, shut down during conflict, or feel caught between wanting closeness and fearing it. Often, these patterns are rooted in trauma, attachment wounds, and earlier relationship experiences that continue to shape how you connect with others. I help individuals and couples heal these underlying patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and build healthier, more secure relationships through a holistic approach that integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment work, and mindfulness.
