Therapists in Vista, CA
Your mental state is like the weather. On some days, everything is temperate and you feel great. On other days, everything feels like it’s in the extremes. Extreme, hot anger. Chilling depression. Gloomy apathy. While weather is always unpredictable, you can be able to change the weather of the mind. A counselor based in Vista can help you.
Vista is a town where temperatures are moderate and extreme weather doesn't happen too often. However, just like life, there is always the chance for extremities. By speaking to a counselor in Vista, you can be able to stabilize the weather in your mind.

If you are reading this, it means you have taken the brave step of moving forward in your life. I've always said that therapy is not for people who are "screwed up" but for people who want to learn more about themselves and become empowered to make changes. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (in both Virginia and California), I have over 22 years of clinical experience in civilian, military, and hospital settings. I am a proud female Veteran with a specialty in helping others cope with life's stressors and transitions. I am an advocate for individuals with chronic illness, and my past experiences as a transplant social worker, have inspired me to specialize in issues relating to health inequities and social justice issues. While my passion has always been about service to others, just know that I will also challenge you in areas where you may feel stuck or defeated. Therapy is not always easy, but I am committed to partnering with you to assist on working through whatever brought you here. I look forward to working with you!

I am Hannah Bernard, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I strive to support my clients through life's difficult times by fostering new insights, teaching practical skills, and seeking emotional resources to empower them to make decisions they can be proud of and live in a way that truly reflects who they are. I utilize a flexible approach to understand and respond to the unique needs of each individual. I have discovered that my style and approach work well with adults of all ages. I provide support to clients facing life transitions, medical challenges, grief, a diminished sense of self, and family or relationship issues. Understanding that these experiences often overlap, I also help clients manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. In therapy, I demonstrate empathy, maintain a non-judgmental attitude, and project an authentic demeanor. I understand that a fundamental aspect of the therapeutic process is establishing a safe space and nurturing a supportive relationship to facilitate personal growth. Collaboration is at the core of my practice, as I believe that the therapeutic relationship and a client's active involvement in their own healing process are essential components of successful therapy. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, promoting positive change and growth on your personal journey toward well-being and fulfillment. I became a therapist driven by a core belief in the strengths and inherent goodness within everyone. My passion is to help people discover and embrace these qualities in themselves. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing individuals feel empowered and confident as they recognize their own potential and worth.
