About Us

Person-Centered Mental Health for You and Those You Love

By prioritizing core values, such as empathy, inclusivity, and integrity, our therapists create a safe and authentic space where clients feel respected and supported in their journey toward healing.

Serving San Diego & Petaluma, CA

When we live purposefully and love fully, we grow a compassionate, understanding, and equal world. This is our journey. Grow with us.

The Family Guidance & Therapy Center is a group of caring professionals who believe treatment should be a collaboration that includes your values, the latest research and our expertise. We are committed to helping you and your family members make lasting change in your lives.

We specialize in mental health services in both San Diego and Petaluma, CA. This includes individual counseling and therapy, couples therapy and mental health services for children and teens. We further offer a number of assessment services and accompanying behavioral health services for individuals with autism. Our Hillcrest Community program is celebrated for its one-to-one behavioral health services focused on love and connection and cultivating experiences in the world.

 

Our story began with a vision to redefine mental health care by blending compassion, innovation, and inclusivity. Founded by a team of passionate clinicians, we set out to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals, couples, and families could explore their challenges and discover paths to growth and healing.

Over the years, we have expanded our services to meet the diverse needs of our community, incorporating cutting-edge research and evidence-based practices into our work. 

As lifelong learners, we continuously evolve—challenging stigmas, embracing diversity, and fostering meaningful connections. Today, Family Guidance & Therapy remains dedicated to empowering individuals and families to live with purpose, love deeply, and grow together.
