our Purpose


At Chula Vista Holistic Therapy, we believe that true healing comes from addressing the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic mental health therapists specialize in utilizing the latest neuroexperiential approaches, such as Brainspotting, Narrative therapy, and other eclectic therapeutic interventions, to help you unlock the power within and find profound healing and growth, including ancestral healing and intergenerational healing.

What is holistic therapy?

Holistic therapy integrates spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being. Our goal is to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves on all these levels.

Our Specializations:
  • Brainspotting: A revolutionary therapy technique that taps into the brain's natural ability to heal trauma and distress. By identifying and processing unprocessed emotions, memories, and bodily sensations, Brainspotting allows you to release deep-rooted issues and regain emotional balance.
  • Narrative Therapy: Explore the power of storytelling as we collaborate to rewrite your life's narrative. By identifying and reshaping unhelpful narratives, we empower you to embrace new perspectives, build resilience, and gain a stronger sense of self. We sometimes incorporate non-oppressive/indigenous modalities such as tarot/oracle cards, sand tray, dream work, and journaling to help facilitate processing.
Who We Serve:
  • Perinatal Mental Health: Pregnancy and early parenthood can bring about unique emotional challenges. Our therapists provide compassionate support to expectant mothers, new parents, and families, helping them navigate perinatal mental health concerns with grace and understanding.
  • Teens & Young Adults: Adolescence and young adulthood can be a time of immense change and growth. Our tailored therapeutic approach is designed to connect with young minds, fostering self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional regulation during these formative years.
  • Grief & Loss: Dealing with the loss of a loved one or any significant life transition can be overwhelming. Our therapists offer a gentle and caring space to process grief, honor memories, and find meaning in your experience.
  • Highly Sensitive Person (HSP): Have you been called "too sensitive"? Are you a deep thinker? Those who have a high emotional intelligence and pull a multitude of sensory experiences on a cellular level, need extra support in processing feelings and manage the overwhelm that can come from this overstimulation.
  • Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC): Particularly the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander (AANHPI) first, 1.5, or second generation individuals. Generational and cultural challenges may impact day to day living and family relationships. Exploration of generational and ancestral trauma, racism and discrimination, and intersectional identities can help lead to empowerment and agency.
Why Choose Chula Vista Holistic Therapy:
  • Holistic Approach: We believe in treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms. Our holistic approach considers all aspects of your well-being, ensuring long-lasting and transformative healing.
  • Tailored Interventions: No two individuals are the same, and neither are their struggles. Our therapists customize interventions to suit your unique needs, creating a personalized journey to healing. Authenticity is a priority to tap into empowerment and agency.
  • Safe & Nurturing Environment: Chula Vista Holistic Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings without fear. We strive to create an environment that is culturally sensitive, rooted in decolonized, gender and LGBTQ+ affirming, and anti-racist practices.
  • Therapeutic Expertise: Our therapists are trained in the latest psychotherapeutic techniques, staying at the forefront of mental health advancements and trainings to provide the most effective care. Our stance is rooted in social justice, inclusion, and anti-oppressive treatment.
