Therapists in San Diego, CA

As a queer and bisexual, nonbinary femme, 2nd generation Korean American, I specialize in working with those who identify as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, adult children of immigrants, gender expansive, nonbinary, and transgender. I tend to work with folks who create their own paths in life - ones that may diverge from the norm. Oftentimes, these paths emerge from a place of necessity, without much support, and lacking a roadmap or guide.

Therapy offers a safe space away from the responsibilities of your daily life, where you can process, recalibrate, and practice new skills. One of my specialties is assisting people in difficult life transitions such as divorce, career change, death of a loved one, or a phase of life transition to name a few. Together, I can help you find some acceptance of the new condition, grieve losses, and find some hope for the new. With couples & families, my goal is to create space for us to slow down, understand the negative cycle you might be stuck in and build in ways of communicating where everyone can feel heard.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you struggling to sleep? Do you feel as if you are letting yourself or your family down? Are you struggling with some changes in your life? I understand that sometimes you may feel as if there is something wrong, as if you don’t have the resources to resolve your problems. You may not feel sure about how to make the changes you need to feel better. I understand what it is like to face cultural or social issues that make it difficult to seek help, to feel as if you need to find your own solutions. You are not alone. I want to help you feel more in control of your life, to feel more connected to others.

As a Therapy practice we love to help everyone! no matter what the situation is, our purpose is to help anyone struggling during these times!

Sometimes in life we get overwhelmed, feel stuck, and hopeless. Sometimes it can feel as though things keep piling up against us and it can be hard to feel complete. Some people may experience this emotionally, others more physically. Different things trigger these responses in us and make it hard for us to thrive. Whether it is the pandemic, trauma, depression, anxiety, family or relational conflict, self-esteem issues, racial injustice, or grief, having an outlet to make space for this discomfort can help alleviate the pain and move you towards a place of healing.

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." No matter what life has delivered, we can choose to use our pain as a pathway for personal healing & growth.

If you're ready to clear the residue of your past & create a bright future, let's begin to create meaningful changes in your life.

I prefer clients who are receptive to looking at their situation as a result of earlier decisions and experiences. I am not judgemental or critical. I try to help clients make sense of their situation.

Hello! I am Dr. Efrain Zepeda. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Social Worker. In the past 23 years working as a mental health professional, one of the most important lessons I have learned is that the most powerful therapeutic intervention is the interpersonal experience that occurs in the client-therapist relationship. Together we can analyze the past to co-create a new meaning with the goal of achieving healing. I strongly believe that therapy is not about labeling or judging, but rather about personal discovery.
