Talk Therapy Psychology Center, Corp.
5935 Cornerstone Ct W, Suite 125, San Diego, California, 92121
At Talk Therapy Psychology Center, we provide outpatient treatment for mental health, and specialize in treating addictions. We offer intensive outpatient treatment both in a group setting as well as through individualized, one-on-ones. We do not dictate treatment but rather collaborate with our clients to devise a plan that is most suitable for their needs.
We specialize in treating the individual as a whole and not just the addiction. Our approach is evidence-based and is built on the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, and Family System. We do not shame, blame, or label and our approach is self-empowering, non-judgmental, and highly motivational. We maintain a high level of engagement with our clients and do not believe the individual is weak or has a character flaw or an incurable disease. The individual needs help, compassion, and support. We teach healthy coping skills and enable the individual to gain insight into his or her own behavior and choices. Additionally, we involve family members and close friends, as necessary, considering the path to recovery is not often traveled alone.
