    I've been a client of Sanctuary by the Sea for over a year and a half, and I highly recommend the…read moreservice to anyone interested in adding help and support to their life. For me, it's been a worthwhile investment. I'd seen other therapists in years prior, and while I appreciated how valuable the process could be, I never truly felt that I could be my authentic self in session. And when you can't be wholly honest and comfortable with a therapist, it's not going to work out. That changed when I started working with Crystal. My life has changed greatly and positively in the past 18 months. Our therapeutic relationship has played a big role in my growth. Crystal has a lot to offer beyond her educational, training and service experience. Of course credentials are important, but for me the most significant quality I was seeking out was someone with whom I felt comfortable and ... real, for lack of a better word. She is one of the most empathic, warm and accepting people I know, and her ability to support you just as you are, in whatever stage of life you find yourself, is really powerful. My perspective on life - and on myself - changed when I realized that I had guidance from someone who did not judge me or require me to be anything other than who I am. Likewise, I've learned of the importance of human connection and love. My relationships have improved because of this. Not because of any sweeping changes I made, but because I learned how to communicate better. And it's gone a long way. Crystal's specialties are working with trauma, eating disorders, anxiety and LGBT identity, among others, and I can attest to how helpful her approaches have been. We tried a few different modalities and settled on the ones that work for how I think. Therapy is like having a coach help navigate through life, both the stresses and the successes. I believe it's something than can help anyone, and it's not just for 'crazy people' ... though I admit I held that belief for years before I realized that I was wrong. I very highly recommend Sanctuary by the Sea for therapy and counseling. You'll be working with someone who has found her purpose in life, and that's a cool thing to be a part of and to benefit from. I undoubtedly have. I hope you do too.

    I have been seeing Crystal for almost a year now. She is compassionate as can be and so…read moreintelligent. She has so much knowledge about different approaches to therapy and is constantly learning new approaches as well as reading up on new studies that help benefit our sessions. I've learned so much from her which helps me to have compassion for myself so that I can continue to grow. She also has a great personality and is so caring and funny and sensitive to my feelings. She is easy to open up to because she never judges me. She makes therapy exciting instead of something to fear. We have a lot of sessions on the beach, at parks, and in coffee shops which calms me down and helps me open up. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a new therapist. She is so relatable and down-to-earth. You won't regret it!

    I've noticed there aren't a lot of reviews on doctors. While this is Yelp and seems to be focused…read moreon businesses rather than individuals, I felt it was important to speak up about some of the professionals I've come into contact with. Finding a good doctor, dentist, therapists, etc is difficult! The sites I've seen (not Yelp) don't all seem...honest. Yelp seems to be the more reliable site for reviews from real people with real experiences. I have known Nitza for at least 10 years. She has counseled me through some of the toughest experiences in my life. She is a wonderful therapist who genuinely cares for her patients. She is always available to either meet or talk on the phone. She is self-employed so you don't have to go through the answering service of a doctor's office. You actually get to speak directly to her! She's personable and easy to talk to. I've recommended her to family and friends and have only heard good things from them. She is very professional and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. She is sensitive to the average person's income regardless of her location in Del Mar. Nitza is a wealth of knowledge and has been a strong support in my life. I don't know what else to say other than I highly recommend her. If you are going through a difficult time in your life, she is a great person to talk to. She's become such a valuable and dear person in my life.
