I began meeting with Whitney 9 months ago. Since our first meeting, she has been patient, supportive, and kind. She's encouraged me to learn that my emotions are valid and worthy of attention and expression. Even when working through really painful emotions, I've found that I can trust her. She makes me feel seen and capable. I highly recommend Whitney, she's an excellent therapist.

Laura Gonzales is a wonderful therapist at Good Therapy San Diego, and I can't recommend her enough! She is compassionate, warm, welcoming, and a great listener. She creates a safe space for me to come as I am, and to learn and grow, offering insight and a therapeutic perspective that I have needed. I'm so thankful for her expertise and gentle guidance. I highly recommend Laura Gonzales.

Huge shout out for Laura! We came here about a year ago looking for help for my teenage daughter after having great experiences with marriage therapy as well here. Laura jumped in and helped my daughter with our crisis after we found her trying to harm her self, and struggling with depression. We Called Good Therapy and they had a great recommendation for Laura because they said she was great with kids. They were not wrong and my daughter has been going in person as well as zoom for about a year. She is doing great today, and I can’t think Laura enough for the work she did with , my beautiful girl. Thank you for your professionalism, compassion, and friendship… There is no greater gift.

Such a fabulous staff! The gals at the front desk are welcoming and responsive and the waiting room feels comfortable and calming. There is water, books to read and even coloring books.

I see Eli and I would truly recommend him 100%. He creates a safe space that is client led, and empowers you to realize your power and potential. I have seen more growth and breakthrough in 6 months with him than 2 years with another therapist. As someone who has experience in the psych field, he is truly so well suited for this job and is an incredible resource.

Catie Peters has been a valuable and inspirational therapist for me as I’ve been navigating a marital breakup after 28 years. She is intelligent, intuitive, caring and accepting, and takes the time to really HEAR me. She goes out of her way to schedule appointments when I need them, and regularly updates me if there is a cancellation. She suggests meaningful strategies to help me move forward. She is a gem!

Some people are just born to be therapists. Their spirit and demeanor makes people feel safe and heard, and somehow they just always know the right thing to say. This is Eli in a nutshell. I've never met such a naturally gifted counselor. And when you combine that with years of spiritual soul-searching and therapeutic training, you've got someone truly special. This is why Eli is at the top of my list for recommendation for a therapist. And as a therapist myself, I don't take this lightly. I'd trust him with my friends and family.

Katie is a phenomenal therapist. Her clinical skills and professionalism are supplemented by her warmth, compassion, and dedication to her clients. My experience working with her has been spectacular. During each meeting, I was acutely aware of her concern for my well being. I know in my heart that our work together has been of sound quality and genuineness. Katie is always certain to exhaust every resource that she believes will promote life enrichment. When we first began collaborating, I was in a state of deep emotional pain. Following several weeks of work, my depression dissipated to a manageable degree, and I began exploring new sources of happiness. Ultimately, our work has been a staple in my recovery. I highly recommend Katie, and confidently encourage all potential clients to seek out her services.

I don’t even know where to begin.

Sean?

SEAN?

Best. Therapist. Ever. Hear me out.

I went to Sean with practically ZERO confidence. I was anxious, lonely, self-loathing, and uncomfortable in my own skin and my own thoughts. My past was eating at me, and I was eating my past. I struggled with binge eating disorder for about 20 years, and Sean helped me turn it around almost immediately. I’ve been desperate for the right kind of help for a long time, but every therapist I went to was monotonous, scripted, and spent the majority of the session typing notes. I was passed from one therapist to another over and over again, and I never found someone I could connect with.

Then Sean came in, and he was fun, kind, compassionate, and this borderline telepathic brain wizard who had the ability to crawl into my psyche, pick out my fears, lay them before me, and analyze them while never leaving my side. He didn’t follow a prompt, he didn’t type away at his computer while I disclosed sensitive information, and he didn’t give me the same dumb, cookie cutter advice all the other therapists tossed my way. He was engaged the whole time, every single session. He challenged me and brought me out of my shell.

Because of my wonderful therapy sessions with him, everything in my life is better. I’m physically active (went from a couch potato to lifting couches lol), my marriage is better, my mind is calmer, and I’m a much more confident mother, friend, and artist. Oh, and I’ve been binge-free since February!

If you’re a potential client reading this, DUDE. TALK TO SEAN.

If you’re reading this Sean, thank you. Thank you for everything and more.
