San Diego
Therapy in San Diego
Thoughtful, unhurried therapy for adults, couples, and teens across San Diego County.
Who we work with
We work with adults, couples, and adolescents ages 12 and up across San Diego, from Mission Valley, Hillcrest, and Mission Hills to North Park, South Park, and Ocean Beach.
People come to us with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and the quieter sense that a capable, busy life no longer quite feels like their own.
How we work
We lead with depth. Rather than only managing symptoms, we look at the patterns underneath what brings you in: how you learned to cope, what you protect, and what you need now.
Our clinicians draw on approaches such as psychodynamic therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), EMDR, and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) when structure helps. You work with one clinician who gets to know you well. See the approaches we use.
Where sessions happen
In-person sessions are available at 409 Camino del Rio S in Mission Valley, close to the 8 and the 163. Many clients prefer secure video, which means no traffic and no parking, and lets you keep the same therapist if your week changes.
Sessions are 50 minutes, Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Fees and insurance
Sessions are $175 to $275 depending on the clinician, with sliding scale options. We accept United/Optum, Cigna, and Aetna, some clinicians are in network through Headway or Alma, and we provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Fees and insurance.
Meet the team
Inner Compass is led by Nora Katz, LCSW. Our associate therapists work under her clinical supervision, and sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Farsi. Meet our therapists.
