Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
I believe the human spirit is incredibly resilient and we all have the innate capacity to heal--I don't view mental health struggles as a sign of defect or "disorder," but rather a signal of unmet basic needs for love, attention, acceptance, and compassion.

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
In this life one thing we know for sure is that we can’t go it alone. Compassionate support and a trusted guide on the path can make all the difference. I know it did for me many years ago. My own journey of healing from complex post-traumatic stress disorder has most influenced my practice over the past 25 years. I spent many years trying to talk and analyze my way through trauma. It was only when I found mind body approaches such as brainspotting, somatic therapy and EMDR that I experienced deep healing. My practice is dedicated to sharing the power of holistic approaches to heal, restore and reclaim your life. I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of California with master’s degrees in both clinical social work and kinesiology specializing in sport psychology and a Ph.D. in transpersonal psychology specializing in Tibetan Buddhism. I am also certified in a number of mind body approaches to healing.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You’ve spent years being the strong one—the helper, the steady presence, the one who keeps it together while carrying so much inside.
Lately, maybe your body feels tense, your heart heavy, and your relationships harder than they should be. You may long for rest, connection, or simply someone who truly understands.
Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about creating space to listen to the parts of you that have been silenced, to heal old wounds, and to finally feel safe being your fully authentic self.
If you’re ready to stop overextending, quiet the inner critic, and begin living with more ease and authenticity—I would be honored to walk alongside you.
🌿 Let’s start from the roots, and grow upward—together.
At our core, we are all motivated by a desire to connect—both with others and with ourselves in ways that feel honoring. But often, in our upbringing, we learned “rules” for connection that no longer serve us in our friendships, families, or intimate relationships. My work is about helping you recognize those patterns and move toward earned-secure attachment, so your connections can feel mutual, safe, and deeply nourishing.
If this resonates, I invite you to schedule a brief, complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. It’s a chance to see if my presence and approach might be the right support for your journey. You can schedule directly here: melanie-goetz.clientsecure.me

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll gain tools to care for your nervous system, set healthier boundaries, and create a more positive and sustainable way of living.

Escondido is an inland North San Diego County city with a majority Latino population and a character that distinguishes it from the coastal communities most associated with San Diego, and its mental health landscape reflects the economic pressures, immigration-related stress, and community challenges of a working-class city navigating rapid suburban growth alongside significant social needs. Spanish-language therapy is essential in Escondido, and bilingual practitioners who can work culturally competently with Mexican-American and immigrant communities are in significant demand. San Diego County behavioral health services extend to Escondido, and a private therapy sector serves those in a position to access it. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship stress, acculturation challenges, and the economic pressures of living in one of California's most expensive regions while working in agriculture, construction, or the service sector.
