Encinitas Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

Kristen Hornung

Do you sometimes feel stressed, exhausted, unfulfilled, or disconnected? When triggered do you shut down, have unexpected emotions, or dissociate? Do you work hard to please others and be successful, but no matter what you do, it never feels like you are good enough? Therapy may be able to help you learn new coping skills, decrease painful emotions and negative thoughts about yourself related to past events, and become more resilient.

Solara Calderon

My clients typically come to therapy grieving a painful loss (like the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or even the loss of a part of their identity), trying to shift unhelpful patterns or behaviors in their relationships, struggling to adapt to a new life phase (like parenthood, starting college, or a new job), having a hard time managing big emotions, or seeking deeper meaning and connection. I particularly love working with young adults, moms and dads, and LGBTQ+ folks.

Denisse Silva

¡Hola! I am Denisse, and it is my belief that the future of psychotherapy is reconnecting to sacred, psychedelic medicine and to the natural healing intelligence that we each carry within. The frequencies of my approach are holistic, non-pathologizing, culturally affirming, and centered on generational healing, remembrance of ancestral roots, and spiritual transcendence.

Joyce DeVera

You struggle with day to day activities because of the relentless negative loops that play over and over in your mind. You are anxious and do not know how to deal with or understand why. You are in a relationship with poor or no communication. You are a "people pleaser" and lack the inability to say "no". Small tasks feel overwhelming. You are confused and anxious about your next steps. You are ready to be the best version of yourself. Am I talking to you?

You are looking in the right place.

Ta-Taneisha Thames

I work with people who have needs. At the same time, I don’t practice beyond the scope of my knowledge meaning that if you come to me and present with a situation that I know nothing about, I will help to find a Therapist better suited to assist you.

Cynthia Valentine

I help people who have *always* dealt with anxiety, but haven't figured out how to DEAL or resolve it for the long term. Many of these people have undiagnosed ADHD, and haven't had proper support or recognition for this other part of them. It can be tricky to tease out what is what, and that's where I come in. I take a whole-person approach. Because anxiety is such a buzzword and can have so many different meanings, together we'll figure out what exactly is affecting you. Looking forward to it!
