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!

Our families experience was awful. She works with a few different Rehab facilities and gets…read morekickbacks for filling their beds. I was the subject of one of her interventions. I was ready to get help and wanted to get options. I was told that I could only go to the one rehab facility she picked out (money wasn't an option). I later found out that she works with said rehab facility and gets kickbacks from them. Luckily my brother stepped in and got me to a proper facility that was not just focused on substance abuse but also depression anxiety and ptsd. I'm happy to say I'm 2 years sober after trusting my gut and not listening to Stranger. Also, contrary to what her website says, she never followed up on any of the parties involved for therapy

I reached out when I felt our son needed someone to talk to about his feelings as he was separated from friends and sports, and overwhelmed with online learning. John was absolutely the best! Since John works with kids, he had a program suited for the pre-teen age group and their emotional needs/communication that didn't feel "childish" to my 10 y/o. After about 2 weeks (1 session a week) , our family dynamic changed for the better. And the next time we saw family, they commented on my son's maturity and communication style being leaps beyond previous encounters. As parents we want to be able to provide everything our kids need, but leaning on a caring outsider like John to provide guidance felt like we invested in our child's well being for life.!

We highly recommend David Christopher for individual and couples counseling (he's even an effective…read morebusiness advisor!). My husband and I came to David with quite a mess on our hands. We were married later in life and had a child together. We had never had children and the differences in how to go about parenting created a huge chasm between us. By the time we got to David, we were both in such a power struggle that even things we might agree on created an argument. We were both so angry and definitely did not feel in love anymore. We were headed for divorce which neither of us wanted. David patiently worked with us individually and as a couple over many months. This would have been a quicker process if we had just listened and done what he said right from the beginning. But, we are hard headed and felt we were each right so it took some time. He did eventually help us to get on the same page. The shocker is what happened during Covid. With so much time alone together and the stress of the situation, we began to argue again. We surprisingly quickly realized what was going on, began using the tools David taught us. As a result, we have been blessed with an incredible connection and good experience while being in the same place together day in and day out even sharing the same office. We can't express enough how much this means to us and to our family. David is a magician but the magic only works if you do the work on yourself.

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.
