Therapists in Encinitas, CA - Find A Licensed Therapist In Encinitas
Therapy can be beneficial for almost anybody. A therapist offers both support and tools that can help to heal past trauma, create balance for someone who is feeling emotionally overwhelmed, build connection with others, and even develop a more positive outlook on life in general.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Encinitas, CA may offer more coastal counseling options than surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging, even in a city. One reason for this is the high level of specialization within the mental health profession. What you want or need may not necessarily be available nearby. If you are looking to feel heard in a supportive environment after your divorce, the substance use therapist down the street isn’t going to be the best match. Even if you find a clinical practice nearby, it’s not a guarantee that you’ll feel comfortable with the therapist. Or you may find that certain places have waiting lists or are not taking new patients. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers a wide variety of mental health professionals that deal with a range of mental health challenges, specialize in a number of approaches, and are committed to working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because confidence in a therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
BetterHelp is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home.
If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp to get started. Or you can check out the list of Encinitas-based online therapists below for more information.

Do you find yourself feeling depressed or sad? Do you worry a lot and feel scared? Are you having a difficult time in your relationship? We often hold in our feelings of anger, sadness, fear, and even happiness. This leads to feeling depressed and anxious. People often seek therapy for not living the life they want. Therapy can provide a space to help with life challenges and to achieve healthier relationships. Together, we can begin to explore your feelings and beliefs, which will allow your depression and anxiety to lift. Repairing low self esteem will get you to achieve the things you want. I provide individual and relationship counseling for those who are interested in living their lives from a place of balance, wholeness and compassion.

I’m a psychologist with more than 25 years of experience. I love counseling and working with individuals and couples. The joy of discovering a solution for a problem with someone and see them grow and thrive excites me. No one is perfect and at times, we all need help. It is a mistake trying to solve problems alone. I see counseling as the undiscovered gem in human functioning – far too many people miss the opportunity of working with a trained and skilled counselor to aid them on the journey to figure out a plan through their challenge. I’m glad you are considering this option and there is a reason that you are reading my profile. I would love working with you.

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

- Counseling with therapists: $100-300

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Encinitas, California can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
Encinitas has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
