Encinitas Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Reid Kessler

I work best with adolescents and adults who are seeking a compassionate and genuine therapy relationship to understand themselves, regain or build personal strength, and make choices to have the life they want. Growth takes place within this curious and supportive relationship, often by developing a deeper sense of the themes or patterns in their life, learning what is unchangeable, knowing how you understand yourself and your worth, and changing beliefs you have that interfere with your life.

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?
