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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Founder and Clinical Director, Inner Compass Psychotherapy
You keep it together for everyone else. But at 11:30 pm, the worry loops back. Sessions with me are slow, curious, and led by you. We follow what your feelings are pointing to, rather than rushing past them. Reach out for a free 15-minute call to see if we are a good fit.

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.

Gabriel Lowe
Psychologist, PhD
Life is full of messy tensions. People who are supposed to be the safest let us down. The things we know are good for us can be the most difficult to follow through. At one moment, we feel paralyzed by inaction, and in the next, we can be flooded by thoughts. Sorting through these tensions alone can be scary, frustrating, and exhausting. My goal to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment to disentangle the complex narrative of your life and find your unique way of thriving. I provide exclusively online therapy in the state of California.

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.

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.
