Psychotherapy or talk therapy is best for the individual who wants to increase their compassion and self-esteem, overcome obstacles, make healthy decisions, and reach goals. Individual therapy facilitates self-growth and an increase in awareness. By taking an inventory in your past physical, emotional, and mental health, we can address your concerns and guide you into developing the best course of action.
Adolescent therapy incorporates a variety of methods used to help children or adolescents with their behavior, emotions, and relationships. They may be able to share their feelings and resolve problems through talking, drawing, building, play therapy, and pretending. These avenues of expression allow them to resolve conflicts, understand their feelings and issues, receive emotional support, and rehearse new solutions to their recurring problems.
How much does your relationship mean to you? What would you do to save it? Joint therapy sessions for partners or married couples can resolve current issues, provide a check-up during a transition period or influx of stress, to prevent an exacerbation of issues, or solidify your relationship. The longer a destructive pattern has been set in, the more challenging it is to correct.
Physical, emotional or mental pain speaks so loudly it is difficult to ignore. We are often tempted to flight or flee. This may take the form of anger, feeling overwhelmed or frightened, helpless or hopeless or sometimes over-indulging in behaviors we know are not good for us. Yet, the more we try to fight or run, the discomfort seems to only speak more loudly, and becomes more intense.
With experience serving the families in Poway, Escondido, and the surrounding areas of San Diego, we can provide you and your family with the quality treatment you need. Please call the office today to schedule your appointment. We look forward to guiding you through your transformation in a safe space.

This place is hard to find! Park at The Church at Rancho Bernardo and PCSD's building is to the right as you're facing the church. Go upstairs and follow signs to suite 370.
I was very anxious about coming here, but Chuck Gleeson had been recommended. Chuck is a psychiatric NP who can prescribe medicine. I found him knowledgeable, respectful, and kind. I came with a list of medications to ask about. He gave advice but made it clear I had the ultimate say. We decided on what medication to try first and what to try next as plan B if I still had symptoms. I feel really hopeful. Thanks
