I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Play Therapist. I have 22 years of experience as a therapist and over 35 years of experience working with children and families. I provide services to children ages 3-18 as well as individual services for adults.
Hi, I'm Dora, a licensed therapist with extensive experience working with a diverse range of populations, including teens, young adults, parents, and adults facing multiple life changes. I have training in DBT, Incredible Years parenting, and holistic approaches.
I am Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I have been practicing therapy since November 2015 and licensed since January 2023. The modality I mainly use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but also pull from other modalities as one modality may not fit all clientele. I have had experience with self-esteem, couples, anxiety (mild to moderate levels), depression (mild levels), grief/loss and end of life. I have work with prior law enforcement experience, substitute teacher (Elementary thru High School), and various other vocational experience. NOTE: I am not a psychiatrist, so I do NOT prescribe medication.
I am a passionate clinical therapist who loves working with children, women, couples and families going through challenging times. Are you and your your child having trouble communicating? Are you and your spouse having trouble communicating? Do you see them going through a hard time, long to help but don't know how? Do you suffer from Bipolar Disorder? I am here for you. Do you feel undone by anxiety or depression and don't know how to "shake it off"?
I am very honest, caring, real and genuine. Encouragement and support for their future journey.
Are you are experiencing verbal and/or mental abuse from a romantic partner, a parent, sibling, friend, co-worker? Do you struggle with your own internal thoughts (e.g. "you’re not good enough”, "it's all your fault", “you are not a priority”). Maybe you’ve lost someone and you’re grieving. You are emotionally exhausted because of the pain you hide and the inability to say "no". You tell yourself the good is good but the bad is bad. You're scared and confused on what to do or how to "fix" things. These experiences create rumination, avoidance, trauma, anxiety, and more.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Diego
Finding the right therapist in San Diego starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the type of care that fits your situation — whether that's talk therapy for anxiety or depression, couples counseling, or medication management with a psychiatrist. Providers on Headway include licensed therapists (LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and psychologists) and psychiatrists, many with training in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
San Diego has a large and diverse provider community spread across neighborhoods from Hillcrest and North Park to La Jolla and Chula Vista. Practical factors matter too — think about whether you prefer in-person sessions close to home or the flexibility of virtual appointments. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style, specialties, and what a first session might look like.
Therapy in San Diego can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
