Encinitas Therapists specializing in Marriage Counseling

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!

Does your life feel out of control? Is it not turning out how you expected? It isn't easy feeling overwhelmed and unsure. I work with troubled yet courageous people who come to me on their journey toward wellbeing. Many of my clients suffer from anxiety, depression, stress, life adjustment difficulties and relationship issues. Currently, my main area of focus is working with young adults uncertain about their future as well as with familial caregivers in need of support and guidance.

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.

GISSELL RODRIGUEZ

Many clients come to me when traditional talk therapy hasn’t provided the healing they hoped for. They seek a holistic approach to address the root of their pain and long for profound transformation. My clients often feel lost, on auto-pilot, or disconnected from their bodies, loved ones, and the world around them. Others feel overwhelmed by life’s demands or stuck in unhelpful patterns. Together, we create a compassionate space to foster connection, healing, and lasting change.

Are you distracted by thoughts & insecurities during sex? Does sex feel like a performance or an obligation? Do you worry you'll disappoint your partner because of difficulties with arousal, erections, or orgasms? Do you sometimes avoid sex altogether because working through relationship issues feels complicated or overwhelming? If so, you’re neither alone nor broken. Like many, you may be experiencing performance anxieties, low sexual desire, or have inaccurate or unhelpful beliefs about sex.

I work with anyone looking to dig deep to heal their sense of self and their relationships. I work with individuals in therapy to identify the problematic thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that stem from our oldest and deepest attachment wounds. I work with couples and ENM partnerships from an attachment perspective - I help partners communicate in a deeper, more attuned way to promote closeness, understanding, and intimacy. I also love working with families that are working through conflict.
