Psychodynamic Therapy
Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe therapy is most healing when it feels like an authentic human relationship—one where curiosity, honesty, and courage can coexist. My role is to help you slow down enough to hear yourself, to notice old patterns that no longer serve you, and to create space for new ways of relating to yourself and others. I work collaboratively, with a balance of compassion and directness, to help you gain clarity about your needs and build a greater sense of agency in your life. Together, we work toward a kind of transformation that feels both deeply personal and sustainably real. Reach out to schedule a free 20 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for your therapy needs.

Jean Wolfe Powers

I’ve been a therapist for four decades and my specialization in trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse recovery, grief, anxiety, phobic disorders, depressive and mood disorders are more important than ever.

Allow me to walk with you through discovering deeper insights about your inner world, uncovering the factors that may be contributing to your current life-state. I am committed to helping couples and individuals progress through everyday challenges. We will shift the focus from what is wrong in your life to wellness, optimism and fulfillment.

Tanya Desloover
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CADCII
If you are looking for support and guidance to resolve issues which have left you feeling powerless, or if you are just hitting a rough spot in your life, I believe that through therapeutic approaches, together we can conquer your fears to resolve issues from your past that are contributing to behavior patterns (e.g., anxiety, depression) and negative perceptions that keep you from feeling empowered. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. I am passionate about collaborating with clients so they can become empowered to become their authentic selves. As an EMDR therapist, my perspective is helping clients get past their limiting beliefs, negative thoughts and feelings about themselves.
My background of 20 years spent as therapist and Clinical Director of a southern CA program, and in private practice, treating clients with substance use disorders, has informed my practice to help others address, not only that issue, but the underlying disorders that accompany substance use (anxiety, depression, transitions). It takes courage to face your fears, and I offer a nonjudgmental, secure holding place to heal. We will work together to support you becoming empowered to courageously face your challenges.
I am primarily offering telehealth/online counseling from the comfort of your confidential home location, through a secure, confidential network platform.

Counseling For Couples, Families and Children, Dr Mickey
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT
When DIVORCE feels like the answer, and that thought breaks your heart...overwhelmed by shock, anger, disappointment, regret and deep sorrow...frozen by confusion, fear, humiliation and hopelessness...exhausted by the constant flooding of these feelings which lead to bitter battles, and sleepless nights. Trying to engage in meaningful conversation is frustrating and enraging. An experienced, understanding counselor can help calm your emotional tidal waves, stop intrusive, hurtful thoughts, and help you find your way again. Even if the cause is an affair, an addiction, a bitter betrayal, a stressful life or difficult in-laws.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
In childhood, we develop a number of coping mechanisms to adapt to the world we have been born into: people-pleasing, perfectionism, addiction, achievement, avoidance of conflict or uncomfortable feelings, codependency, etc. Usually, we seek therapy when these coping mechanisms that worked so well in our younger years are now actively harming us or our relationships, or are no longer successful in helping us deny our sadness, fear, anger, or loneliness.
My practice goes beyond symptom management and deep into the depths of the unconscious to help clients understand how unprocessed trauma and long forgotten stories are effecting their daily thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will use imagery, dreams, and story-telling to help you rediscover that which has been lost - hope, intuition, self-trust, confidence, safety, love. Our goal, if you allow me to travel alongside you, will not be for you to become a better version of yourself or just feel better, but instead to know yourself on a deeper level and love all the different parts of you so that you can move forward in life more authentically, whole-heartedly, and peacefully!

Huntington Beach — 'Surf City USA' — cultivates a strong outdoor and athletic identity that creates particular mental health dynamics around body image, performance anxiety, and the psychological costs of a lifestyle culture that prizes youth and physical capability. The city's predominantly White, affluent coastal character contrasts with pockets of economic precarity and a substance use landscape connected to its beach culture and proximity to the broader Orange County recovery community. Hoag Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Huntington Beach and the surrounding South Orange County coastal corridor. The city's proximity to both Los Angeles and the Orange County recovery ecosystem means therapists here frequently work at the intersection of addiction, identity, and the particular stresses of competitive coastal California life.
