When looking for a therapist, Escondido, CA can be a better bet than many mid-size cities. In a large state, with a large population, there is more help available in the mental health field than in other more rural areas. The challenge, however, can be in finding the right type of therapy, and the right therapist for your own personal needs. There are a number of evidence-based psychotherapy options, but they are not equally effective across the board at treating different mental health challenges. What you need in a therapist may not be available nearby, or they may not be taking new patients. 

Online therapy can be a solution. Online therapy platform BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 mental health practitioners with professional experience in many counseling styles and specialization in everything from art therapy to anger management. By filling out an online questionnaire, BetterHelp will match you to a licensed clinical psychologist that meets your personal needs. And it can be important to feel confident that the person providing therapy understands you, so if you feel the need to change therapists, you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy can also be helpful for people with busy lives. Online sessions can fit into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. And for those who may not feel comfortable meeting in-person for therapy, BetterHelp can be a way to get the help you need in a less stressful space. 

If you live in the Escondido area and have been thinking about therapy for any reason, whether to treat anxiety, find out more about psychological testing, to process traumatic past experiences, or to prioritize personal growth, reach out to BetterHelp to get matched to a therapist with a California license who can help get you started on your wellness journey.

I am a Marriage Family Therapist licensed in the State of California since 1985. I have spent most of my career working in community behavioral health clinics, so I have treated a variety of different conditions and challenges. Currently I am interested in working with adults who may be experiencing a sense of loss of meaning in life and are looking for a renewed sense of purpose. Time spent in sessions could be helpful in seeking strategies to improve relationships with those people in your life that you are close to. I favor solution focused interventions that can bring about change. I can also supply support to persons seeking a spiritual path. I am trained in Person Centered Therapy, Strategic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Jungian Archetypes with dream analysis as a guide to new directions. I have a daily yoga and meditation practice as a way to recharge my energy. I have been married for 43 years, and have three young grandsons. I enjoy working in my small apple orchard.

Hi, I’m Maggie! I’m an Expressive Arts Therapist. I work in the same way a typical therapist would work, exploring relationships, expressing emotions, working on social skills, discovering healthy coping skills, really any roadblock to being your very best self.  But in my practice, I also use the arts in our therapeutic journey.  This can include music, visual art, movement, magic, writing, and beyond.  My practice is truly client-centered.  Everyone has their own unique situation, and my goal is to tailor our work to your very personal needs.

Choosing a therapist is like choosing a partner: it’s about the fit that’s right for you. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients including teens, young adults, older adults and couples. I use a cognitive behavioral approach which basically means determining how an individual’s perceptions and thoughts affects their behavior. Understanding that leads to providing tools for better communication. I try to create a therapeutic environment that is comfortable, caring and nonjudgmental, but yet direct. My goal is to help people feel better than when they first sat down with me. I may be the therapist who is the right choice for you.

The following contains important information about my professional services and policies. Please read the entire document carefully and ask me any questions you have regarding its contents. Introduction I, Terumi Pettas, am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (lic.# LMFT48914) registered with the State of California Board of Behavioral Sciences. I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Addiction Studies from John F. Kennedy University in 2005. I am a member of the California Association for Marriage and Family Therapists. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about my background, experience and professional orientation. About the Therapy Process It is my intention to provide services that will assist you in reaching your goals. We are partners in the therapeutic process. As partners, we will work together to develop a plan for your treatment. Based on the information you provide to me and the specifics of your situation, I will offer feedback and recommendations regarding your treatment and progress. Over the course of therapy, I will attempt to evaluate whether the therapy provided is beneficial to you. While I hope our work together will be effective, the amount and length of treatment varies from patient to patient. I am unable to predict how long you will be in therapy or guarantee a specific outcome or result of our work together. The length of therapy sessions are determined based on each individual’s needs but are generally 45 minutes a session. Typically, sessions are scheduled once per week, at the same day and time each week. Consistent attendance contributes greatly to a successful outcome. Questions Regarding Fees All inquiries regarding fees and subscription should be made directly with BetterHelp. I do not have access to or knowledge about client subscription or fee structure. Your Right to Confidentiality As a psychotherapy patient, you have a right to confidentiality with respect to information related to our work together. Accordingly, information shared between us will generally remain confidential. Exceptions to Confidentiality In certain, limited instances, the law requires me to disclose information pertaining to my work with you. For example, as a therapist I am required to report suspected child, elder, and dependent adult abuse. Similarly, in the event that I believe you present a serious and imminent danger to yourself, another person, or the public, I may be required to disclose information to emergency medical services, law enforcement, and/or another third party that can help to reduce or prevent that danger. Confidentiality and Treatment of Minors If a minor’s parent(s) or guardian(s) give consent for me to treat the minor, I typically provide the parent(s) or guardian(s) with general updates about the minor’s treatment. These updates may include the minor’s diagnosis, treatment plan, progress in therapy, session attendance, or similar information. However, I generally do not share specific details about the minor’s treatment or what the minor has shared with me during sessions unless: 1) the minor gives me permission to disclose such information and I believe the disclosure would be clinically appropriate; or 2) the minor is experiencing a crisis or other emergency circumstance that would authorize me to break confidentiality. If the minor consents to their own treatment, the law generally prohibits me from communicating with their parent(s) or guardian(s) without written authorization from the minor unless the minor is experiencing a crisis or other emergency circumstance that would authorize me to break confidentiality. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about these policies or if you would like to discuss them further. Confidentiality and Couples / Family Therapy If you are participating in couples or family therapy, please be aware that, in most circumstances, the law prohibits me from disclosing confidential information and records regarding the unit of treatment’s services unless all identified patients provide written authorization to release the information. Urgent / Emergency Communications I am unable to provide 24-hour crisis service. If you are ever experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency or if you are facing an emergency involving a threat to your safety or the safety of someone else, please call 911 to request emergency assistance. In the event of a mental health crisis, you may also call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing “988.” Termination of Therapy The length of your treatment and the timing of the eventual termination of your treatment depend on your clinical needs, the specifics of your treatment plan, and the progress you make towards achieving your treatment goals. While I hope you will find our time together beneficial and meaningful, I cannot guarantee the specific outcome(s) or result(s) your treatment will yield. You may discontinue therapy at any time. If one of us determines you are not benefiting from treatment, we can discuss treatment alternatives. These alternatives may include, among other possibilities, changes to your treatment plan, referrals to other therapists, and/or termination of treatment. Social Media Policy: I do not accept or initiate invitations to connect or communicate on any social media site with any current or former client. Questions About My Policies Please let me know if you have any questions about my policies or if you would like to discuss them further. NOTICE TO CLIENTS The Board of Behavioral Sciences receives and responds to complaints regarding services provided within the scope of practice of marriage and family therapists. You may contact the board online at www.bbs.ca.gov, or by calling (916) 574-7830.

Greetings, I am glad you are here today. My name is Grace and I have been a clinical social worker for more then 9 years. I use the pronouns her/she. My clinical experience is in a hospital setting, I have worked with a variety of people (age 5 to 90) with an equally vast range of issues and disorders. I enjoy hearing from people who identify with in the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone from the iGen / Gen Z. I always strive to meet my clients with compassion and respect, regardless of age, skin color, or identification. As we navigate our own path in life, it can be scary, lonely, with the footing unknown. I want to help you traverse your challenges, whatever they may be. Before pursuing a career as a clinical social worker, my passion and work experience is in fine arts. I have faced those challenges of forging your own path when everyone around you offers nothing but obstacles. After obtaining my dream career (comic illustrator) I found that my dream job was not the same as having a dream life. I am fortunate that I was able to explore my other strengths, and found a career in “being the person I wish I had” in my life growing up. Do you struggle making yourself and your needs a priority? Are you living each day to the fullest? Are you letting go of the past and not fearing the future? Are you learning to like and love yourself? Struggling to break a toxic cycle? Have you always wanted to allow yourself to be you? Do you have dreams you're afraid to follow? It's time to let go of what is holding you back, and weight down your heart and spirit. Working from a client centered approach, I utilize many expressive creative art therapies, including zendoodle, zen journal, sand tray, drawing, painting, clay (and more) alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy practices (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Practices (DBT). I believe that therapy is for anyone who would like to developing new thought patterns, increasing your healthy coping skill, discarding your old beliefs about yourself, and gaining awareness of your internal and external resources. Don't waste another precious day being miserable or unhappy, its time to allow yourself to be free and find joy. If you don't like something, then change it so you do. Life is too short and too precious to waste it to fear, past hurt, or unhappiness. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, distance running, and hiking. I have three cats, and two rabbits. Others would describe me as kind, gentle, and a meme expert. I worked as a fine artist before I became a therapist. I know first hand the grief we place upon ourselves when we live our lives according to the needs and wants of others. We can't change yesterday, but we still have the power to navigate tomorrow. “You have to get a little lost on your way to being found.” Pronouns: she/her

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about licensed therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Escondido area can be found below:

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Escondido due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Escondido may not take health insurance, some in the state of California may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of California you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Is therapy 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 Escondido, 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.

If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information.
