How do you work with clients with anxiety?

I have been working with children and teens in the San Diego area as a therapist since 2011. I became a therapist after being an elementary school teacher for a few years, changing careers as I believed I could serve children and their parents much better as a therapist. Now offering brief treatment parenting sessions & supervision for Associate Therapists.

Welcome! I'm a dedicated clinical psychologist with a deep commitment to supporting the mental health and well-being of diverse communities. My journey in psychology began at the State University of New York, where I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1983. With a heart for service, I spent valuable time working as psychologist in diverse outpatient settings, where I provided psychological evaluations, individual psychotherapy, and group therapy sessions, focusing on the needs of low-income Latino patients. These experience allowed me to develop a compassionate approach and an understanding of the unique challenges faced by underserved populations. In addition to my clinical work, I've also held leadership roles at Hispanic-American Center in Albany, NY and Albizu University in SJU, PR. I also have a passion for education and knowledge sharing, which led me to serve as a Psychology Professor. Teaching has enabled me to stay at the forefront of psychological research and best practices, which I bring into my therapeutic sessions. My approach is warm, empathetic, and patient-centered. I believe in creating a safe space where you can feel heard and understood. Whether you're dealing with life's challenges or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you on your healing journey. Let's work together to unlock your full potential

Hi, I’m Sandra Williams—a licensed professional counselor committed to walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s complexities. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply person-centered. I believe that therapy is not about “fixing” anyone, but about helping you uncover the strength and wisdom you already carry within. With a focus on creating a safe, affirming space, I work with adults and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and narrative therapy, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re facing something new or carrying something long-standing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy with me is a place where you can exhale, explore, and grow. Let’s begin where you are—with openness, curiosity, and a shared commitment to your healing.

ADHD can make daily life feel like an endless struggle. Tasks that seem simple—like focusing on work, keeping your space tidy, or managing your schedule—can become overwhelming. You might find yourself easily distracted, struggling with organization, or constantly battling deadlines. The emotional impact can be just as challenging: frustration, self-doubt, and stress can weigh heavily, affecting not only your work but also your relationships and personal goals. Addressing both the practical and emotional sides of ADHD is crucial for finding a path toward greater clarity and balance. Why choose me? I offer a wealth of personal and professional experience in tackling ADHD, anxiety, and even supporting business owners. Together, we'll harness your strengths to create meaningful change, shift negative thinking, build stronger relationships, and develop practical strategies for lasting success. I am currently offering sessions via teletherapy.

Sometimes life brings moments that are painful, confusing, or harder than you expected them to be. Afterwards, you may be left carrying something heavy: grief, sadness, or a sense of disconnection. Or you might simply be longing for something more. Maybe things look fine on the outside, but inside you feel a quiet ache. You may be yearning to know yourself more fully or to feel whole in a way that has always been just out of reach. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel supported, and begin listening to what has been waiting beneath the surface. I believe our minds and bodies hold the keys to what we need to move beyond the stuck places and into a greater understanding of who we are. I offer a steady, collaborative space where those stuck places can be explored with care and curiosity. Together, we make room for movement and meaning to return, in a way that feels steady and true to you. If you feel drawn to co-exploring your inner life, I am likely a good fit for you. Together we might use practices informed by Jungian psychology, including dream tending, imaginal exercises, creative exploration, or the felt sense of what is happening inside you. This can invite insight, clarity, and the gradual unfolding of inner change and understanding.

Hey there! My name is Paige Avellar and I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I started my mental/behavioral health career in California as a Youth Care Professional working with at risk teens in the group home system. I was also volunteering as a Trauma Response Advocate for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence at the time. When I moved to San Diego, CA, I began working with children on the spectrum as a Registered Behavior Technician. During my time in Florida, I have worked with private practices that help clients manage anxiety, depression, and other common mental health symptoms. I have also worked with clients who struggle with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health problems. Just call me a jack of all trades! I’ll take a quick moment to be vulnerable and let you know that I am also a human that has a history of complex trauma! I’ve been through the healing process and I know how HARD it is to unlearn all of the intrusive thoughts and unhelpful behaviors that you’ve learned as a result of your trauma. I also know that the therapeutic process is not linear, so don’t worry; we’ll take our time and figure it out together. I practice from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective, which basically means I help you identify your problematic thoughts and how they affect your emotions and behaviors. Then we figure out how to challenge your problematic thoughts and replace them with healthier thoughts that lead to healthier feelings and behaviors! I totally understand that counseling can be intimidating; please know that my ultimate goal as a counselor is to encourage the people that I work with to wake up and choose to be their best and brightest selves every day! If you are interested in taking back your power over your mental health struggles and choosing joy every day, I would love to be the one to help you! Please feel free to contact me by phone at 904-372-3637 or by email at [email protected]. **Please note that I am only meeting with clients via phone or Zoom at this time.
