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.

Inner Compass Psychotherapy
Therapist, Group Practice | Clinical Director: Nora Katz, LCSW
Inner Compass Psychotherapy is a group practice of therapists in San Diego, led by our founder and clinical director, Nora Katz, LCSW. When you reach out, we listen first and then match you with the clinician on our team who fits what you need.
Many people who find us look fine from the outside. They are capable, busy, and good at taking care of everyone else, yet something underneath feels off: anxiety that will not settle, a low mood that lingers, a relationship stuck in the same argument, or a life change that has shaken the ground. We take the time to understand what is actually going on, not just the symptoms. Therapy here is collaborative and unhurried, and it should feel personal from the very first call.
Our team: Nora Katz, LCSW 112300, founder and clinical director; Karina Rivera, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC 14780); Alyssa Zarske, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 158291); and Nikki Adhami, Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW 123351). Our associates are supervised by Nora Katz, LCSW 112300. Each of us has our own TherapyTribe profile if you would like to read more.

Mary Mallinson Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi, my name is Mary and I am a California-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy for adults dealing with childhood trauma, depression, and relationship challenges. I specialize in trauma therapy, including EMDR therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy, to help clients process childhood trauma, attachment wounds, perfectionism and family of origin issues.
I work with women, adult children of immigrants, and individuals seeking deeper healing from past experiences that continue to impact their present. My services include both weekly online therapy and EMDR therapy intensives, which offer extended sessions for more focused, in-depth trauma processing.
My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative, helping clients move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed toward greater clarity, emotional regulation, and lasting change. All sessions are offered via telehealth for clients located in California.

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.
