The space itself is so calming and everything she offers--red light therapy, sound bowl healing, guided meditations and one-on-one coaching. It's intentional and thoughtfully curated.

Not just talking about the past, but really creating a future of possibility and bringing your dreams to life. I highly recommend!

My time with her has been nothing short of divine and I truly believe she has helped me realign my life in the most joyful direction. Here's what's unique about Sara: she's warm, loving, spiritual, and at the same time, utterly rational, practical, and discerning. I've had the fortune of working with Sara on a number of challenges I was facing, and I am truly thankful for the results. Sara's methods gently led me to insights, decisions, and results that I felt were part of me all along. Highly recommend Sara Cole for anyone seeking to move forward in their lives in a positive way.

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!

Let me start by saying Felicia is a gift to anyone who works with her…read more I started with her 6 months ago. I've seen a huge transformation in myself. She is incredibly gifted and I can try to explain my experience but i think that whoever is reading this just needs to schedule a few sessions to be able to experience it yourself. It's an investment in self and there is nothing better in this world than to invest in yourself. It impacts every other aspect of your life, relationships and well being to have the tools and guidance to realizing your own potential, finding peace, clarity, and being able to view the world from a different lens. I've gone from lack of focus being so out of my body, easily stressed, unable to connect with people, incredibly hazy before i saw Felicia. The best way i can describe it is like being in a perpetual thick fog but sometimes you've been living in it so long it becomes the only thing you know. Felicia helped me step outside of that to bring me to a different level of awareness. Having seen her has been a monumental part of my shift. I am still on my journey and I cannot express how much lighter, more focused, present, and peaceful I feel. My ability to connect with people on a different level has been a beautiful thing to see transpire. Just completely opposite of when i look back to myself six months ago. Each time i walk out of a session i feel different in a good way. I always look forward to my next session with her. It's powerful & empowering, just do it and invest in yourself. It will be one of the best decisions you'll look back on.

It…read morefelt like an internal quantum leap every week that would quickly and effortlessly reorganize my external life to match. At a rapid rate I accessed and stabilized higher states of consciousness, deeper soul remembrance, and embodied safety and security for grounded and lasting shifts. The way Felicia met me in my child parts to support the liberation of old pain and trauma, while also meeting and reflecting all dimensions of my soul and divine gifts, provided such an accelerated path to my awakening and purpose as a healer myself. In our sessions I accessed moments of pure god consciousness, eternal peace and wholeness, full soul remembrance and my purpose this lifetime, while healing and shedding lifetimes of pain and baggage. I would not be where I am today, in deeper alignment and connection with my soul and true nature, if it wasn't for my work with Felicia. If you're reading this and debating working with her, I highly encourage you to lean all the way in. Your soul is knocking, and your human will never be the same. Thank you Felicia, I love you!

I chose her because of her east coast area code - I needed someone who was going to understand my energy! She has helped me grow and heal leaps and bounds in the 9 months I've been seeing her. She practices EMDR therapy, which I have done before, but the way she does it is much more effective than what I have experienced in the past. We also do EFT and visualization exercises that help me manage anxiety caused by negative thoughts and catastrophizing. She has given me so many tools for mindfulness, for keeping my emotions in check, and for being a mentally healthier and more self aware person. She helps me set goals and teaches me how to hold myself accountable. My life is exponentially better because of the work we do, and I am grateful every day for finding my way to her office. Even on the days when I struggle! I cannot recommend Gunjani enough.

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.
