Psychology / Therapy Services
Psychotherapy is an essential component of mental health treatment.
Psychotherapy with a licensed therapist helps you understand your triggers, regain control over your thoughts and behaviors, and build healthy coping skills for lasting emotional well-being. Used alone or alongside medication, it empowers you to take an active role in your mental health journey.
At Pacific Health Systems, we provide personalized psychotherapy services to support mental wellness, resolve family conflicts, and manage life’s challenges—delivered by experienced, compassionate therapists focused on your individual needs.

- Adjust to major changes, such as death, divorce, or loss of a job
- Resolve conflicts with partners or family members
- Develop effective strategies for dealing with stress, anxiety, or anger
- Improve issues with insomnia or sexual dysfunction
- Change destructive behaviors and establish healthy habits

Psychology services we offer in San Diego include:
Individual psychotherapy
Working one-on-one with a therapist, you will begin to recognize negative thought patterns, behaviors, and feelings, and identify ways to overcome your personal obstacles. There are many different types of psychotherapy approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and interpersonal therapy. Your therapist will decide which one will be most effective for you.
Marriage and family counseling
When conflicts exist between family members, a therapist can act as an intermediary to encourage healthy resolutions. Marriage and family counseling sessions encourage active listening, understanding, and cooperation to identify the source of the problem and work together toward supportive, creative solutions.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
This specialized type of cognitive behavioral therapy helps to identify and target negative thought patterns and behaviors, pushing for positive behavioral change in the face of every day triggers. It is especially helpful for those patients that struggle with unstable relationships, suicidal thoughts, and other self destructive behaviors.
