Encinitas Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

Carolyn Millikin

My clients come to be seen and heard in a safe place. We explore their thoughts and emotions as they develop new coping skills and ways of thinking. I work together with you to grow through grief, anxiety, depression, school issues, marital discord, family issues, or addiction. Sometimes you may feel like you are the only one; you don't have to be alone!

Jessica Egan

Are you constantly striving for perfection, putting others’ needs before your own, and feeling like you’re never quite enough? I specialize in helping overachievers, perfectionists, and people pleasers who struggle with these patterns, often rooted in childhood experiences where their emotional needs weren’t fully supported. I offer a supportive space to heal, build confidence, and create a more meaningful life.

Life can be messy — relationships, loss, and big changes have a way of leaving us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. But you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here to help you unpack the patterns and beliefs that have shaped your life so far, and together, we’ll work on building new ways of relating to yourself and others that feel more authentic and connected. Healing isn’t always easy, but it’s possible — and you deserve to have help along the way.

I work with people who are struggling with life changes, grief from the loss of a loved one, the painful end of a relationship, low self esteem or self-worth, or challenges related to being an HSP. In therapy, you can find a safe and accepting space to process these painful experiences and together we work to break through barriers to happiness, build coping skills to navigate life's ups and downs with peace and ease, and heal emotional wounds that hold you back from being your authentic self.

Do you feel stressed, exhausted, unfulfilled, and disconnected? When triggered do you shut down, have unexpected emotions, overthink, or dissociate? Have you been successful at work or school, but feel like you've lost yourself in the process?

If any of these experiences apply to you, I want you to know you are not alone, and therapy can help.

Shanice Applewhaite

My clients typically come to me feeling anxious, lonely, depressed, isolated, and lonely - like something big is missing from their experience of living, but they can't quite put their finger on it. They may be suffering from negative self-talk and imposter syndrome. They may have childhood trauma and they definitely have experienced a sense of being "othered" by just about the whole damn world. They are desiring a gentle space to explore their desire for true belonging and self-love.
