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.

Advent Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT (R.N.-retired)
What distinguishes my practice is the breadth of perspective I bring — decades in the healing professions, first as a Registered Nurse and subsequently as a counselor — affording me a genuinely holistic understanding of the individuals I serve. My Christian faith and regard for Biblical truth provide the foundation for all that I do, yet I welcome clients of any background who desire growth grounded in traditional values. If you have found that surface-level approaches fall short of what you need, and you seek someone who will thoughtfully and faithfully accompany you through life's more difficult terrain, I would be honored to speak with you.

Michelle Bourgerie
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
When you lose someone, life keeps going and it seems cruel or unreasonable. The texts from friends and loved ones are frequent at first, but then they drop off. It's natural to feel alone even as you paste on a smile and act like everything is fine because you don't want more attention, or frankly, just to keep things "normal." Sometimes you are aware of a silent scream inside of you because it's not okay that your loved one is gone, and you don't know what to do now. Your loss and grief matter and they need to be fully expressed. I am familiar with working with grief and loss, and I am here to guide you through your grief so that you don't get stuck. I know the steps and phases, and I know how to help you express the inexpressible. I've made treating grief the focus of my work, and I'm here for you.

El Cajon is a San Diego County city home to one of the largest concentrations of Iraqi Christians (Chaldeans) outside Iraq and one of the most significant Somali and East African refugee communities in California, as well as substantial communities from across the Middle East, making it one of the most culturally distinctive cities in Southern California and creating specific demands for culturally and linguistically competent mental health services. The trauma of displacement, war, and refugee journeys is a central concern in the local mental health landscape, and finding therapists who speak Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, Arabic, or Somali and understand the cultural and religious dimensions of these communities' mental health experiences is essential but consistently challenging. San Diego County Behavioral Health provides public services, and community organizations serve immigrant and refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include refugee trauma and PTSD, acculturative stress, religious and cultural identity in diaspora, family and intergenerational conflict between refugee parents and American-raised children, and the grief of displacement and community loss.
