About Positive Change Counseling Center
Positive Change Counseling Center aims to do just that—create positive change by providing psychotherapy and addiction treatment services to individuals, couples, and families who live near La Mesa, California. It’s by MacArthur Park. I like how you can get an appointment for a weekend visit if that’s convenient for you.
Even if you're suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma from your past, they use a combination of therapeutic techniques that can help you overcome all that. They'll use talk therapy and medication management to treat anxiety disorders, for instance.
Some Work and Some Play
Through individual therapy, you can learn about stress management, while play therapy is specialized for children and can help provide a safe playing space for them to express their emotions while having fun at the same time. They also have programs for couples and families to address any negative dynamics that might be affecting how families and couples interact with each other.
One thing I like is that they offer telehealth video sessions to accommodate the needs of some of their clients who perhaps can't make it to the clinic on their own. They seem very inclusive, and I think they have a lot to offer.
