I can confidently say that choosing to begin therapy with Heather was the best decision I have made…read morein my life. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, and heavy trauma for years. In the 8 months that I have been working with Heather, I have never seen or felt this kind of growth in my entire life. She has helped me work through past, present, and future stressors, and create healthy communication habits and coping mechanisms. Heather has an easy-going personality, and an incredible way of making you feel comfortable talking about the most difficult things. She allows you to be as vulnerable and open as you'd like to be, and still manages to find ways to gently challenge you to further your expression and growth. She is certified in different types of therapy including couples counseling, talk therapy, and EMDR. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing -- If she thinks you're a good candidate for it, just do it. Seriously.) If I had known THIS is what therapy could be, I would have started a long time ago. However, I'm so grateful to have started when I did with Heather. I would (and do) refer her to anyone I meet that is interested in therapy, especially those who are on the fence about beginning their healing/therapeutic journey.

I am the school psychologist for the program. She connected well with all of the students with whom she worked. In addition, she was able to work well with the families and the school to guide her treatment goals. I would absolutely recommend her to any individual experiencing a need for therapeutic support. Heather has excellent experience in working with many different issues - and has a special talent for working with children. Heather is a gift to all who have met her!

As a fellow licensed psychologist, I know that ours is a field in which who you are deeply informs the kind of therapist you are.

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.

I was unlucky enough to find myself in need of a new therapist at the pandemic onset. I had a bad…read moreexperience with an unethical one and was left really struggling. The timing made it very difficult to find an experienced therapist. Most I contacted were busy and not taking new clients, many didn't even return calls. I looked for six months, trying the newer young psychologists available with disappointing results. I finally found Dr. Carlson online and liked his website. He was the last one I was going to try before giving up. He probably wasn't seeking new clients at the time, but responded, was compassionate and agreed to see me. He's a Ph.D psychologist with decades of experience and was nice enough to discuss my situation and needs beforehand. And he WOULD see clients in person when the restrictions lifted. I found Dr. Carlson to be an open, pragmatic therapist who is easy to be around and talk to. He works to really individualize his modality and treatment to the client and included me in the plan. He gets me, gives me the benefit of the doubt, and I can be real and honest without having to worry about being shamed. He restored my trust in therapists and the therapeutic experience. With the work we've done Ive experienced healing and my depression has lifted. I'm more at peace and less of a tortured soul. Dr. Carlson is a kind and rare person of integrity who puts his clients first and truly cares about people.

Dr. Benderly has been an immeasurable source of guidance and support. She is wise and caring with…read morehonest and helpful feedback. Most importantly, she is genuinely concerned about her patient's welfare and progress. She has just been a wonderful resource and I cannot recommend her more highly. Her guidance has been invaluable in helping me observe, think through and move beyond several tough times. She has an uncanny ability to disentangle complex past experiences that effect our decisions today, and provide useful and actionable suggestions on how to deal with them. It's clear that she cares not only about the health of her patients (from my experience), but about what she does in general.  She always has something new to share about approaches, and clearly stays up-to-date with what's going on her field so she can remain as relevant as possible. For me, she has created a space that is safe, strengthening and encouraging. Importantly, however, she builds an environment where I have been able to challenge myself for constant improvement! Dr. Benderly is absolutely awesome! She's so kind and so knowledgeable--I would give her 10 stars if I could.

I started seeing her last year to deal with a difficult time, and she's been nothing short of amazing. She brings a combination of deep professional knowledge of her craft with soul.

We just finished the August 2022 Hold Me Tight Workshop led by Dr Diana and it was fabulous:…read moreAmazing in every way! She is a brilliant teacher and presenter that made the material fun, interactive, and very practical. The weekend takes you through identifying your destructive painful cycles of hurting each other; helps build appreciation and gratitude; discovers your raw spots/ triggers and helps you own them; brings deeper emotional connection in the present moments; helps you forgive long turn injuries; gives you language to express your love and affection; and deals briefly and effectively about having a more meaningful and fulfilling sex life. The material is so powerful and intense but cleverly mixes in a lot of humor and variety. Dr Diana's selection of extra video content makes it fun and spicy: from Brent Brown cartoons to "It's not about the Nail." (Look it up) Bonus: There are about 14 couples and about 7 highly trained and effective (EFT/ Emotionally Focused Threrapy) therapists who are available to assist you in your 7 different "dialogues"- times of individual couples' work. We utilized 5 different counselors and the quality of their insights and assistance was through the roof! Maryam, Doug, Dale, and Mariah especially were outstanding in helping get unstuck and getting to the root of our long- established, stubborn, hidden issues that sabotage our happiness. Their expertise was offered so gently without judgment and added so much value to the weekend. I felt like this was what made the workshop soar above and beyond. The setting is remarkable! It is a beautiful location packed with flowers, hummingbirds, amazing trees, private seating nooks for privacy, and such a feeling of peace and security. I cannot recommend this workshop highly enough! We're already planning how to send our friends and kids and everyone we know to experience this peaceful, wonderfully intense, healing encounter in the hills of beautiful San Diego!
