Hi, most of my adult life has been spent working with others in the area of mental wellness. It is a passion to help others grow, learn, heal and self actualize. I am a wife, stepmother, mother and owner of 3 fur babies. Horseback riding, surfing, travel and meeting new people energize me as does a day of peace and solitude in nature.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Idyllwild-Pine Cove, CA


Most of us aren't born knowing how to navigate relationships, understand our emotions, or process trauma. Many things influence how we react and behave, but that doesn't mean we can't grow. My goal is to help you build confidence through discovering your self-worth and practicing self-compassion. My priority is creating a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable. I show up as my authentic self to build trust with you. I'm an empathetic listener and communicate in a calm, gentle, respectful way. My job isn't to tell you what to do, but to help you process and explore topics to build self-awareness and confidence.

Daicy Magallon

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Colton, CA


I am a Latinx therapist who specializes in trauma and the healing journey that follows. My approach is grounded in both professionalism and personal experience. Having done my own therapy work, I understand the courage it takes to face painful experiences, navigate life's challenges, and commit to personal growth.

I recognize that healing is not always a linear process. Growth often involves discomfort, vulnerability, and persistence. Because of this, I strive to create a compassionate, culturally responsive space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change.

Whether you are processing trauma, navigating life transitions, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, authenticity, and respect for your unique experiences.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Murrieta

Finding the right therapist in Murrieta starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Common reasons people in the area seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Consider whether you'd prefer individual therapy, couples therapy, or family therapy — and whether a specific approach like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or EMDR matters to you. Looking for a licensed provider (such as an LMFT, LCSW, or psychologist) with experience in your area of concern can help you feel more confident in your choice.

Murrieta and the surrounding Temecula Valley area are growing, but finding a provider who is both accepting new patients and covered by your insurance can still take time. Virtual sessions expand your options beyond what's available locally, connecting you with licensed California therapists who can meet on your schedule. On Headway, you can read detailed provider bios to learn about each therapist's style, specialties, and background before booking.

Therapy in the Murrieta area can be costly without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
