Visit here for HSP therapists or here for Perinatal-certified therapists

If you are in crisis or need immediate mental health support, please call 988

Do you find yourself easily overwhelmed with stress, anxiety, or sensitivity to the world around you?

Do you typically “have it all together," yet are struggling underneath the surface?

Are you experiencing a difficult life transition - pregnancy, parenthood, relationship issues, career burnout, or personal shifts - and in need of someone to walk alongside you?


You’re looking for therapy that meets you where you are, as a whole person.

You're ready to feel empowered and at peace.


Welcome! I’m Amy Lajiness, LCSW, PMH-C.

I often support my clients with:

-Healing from Anxiety, Depression & Panic

-Rediscovering their identity outside of parenthood or career

-Managing work/life balance

-Releasing societal and self-imposed expectations around body image, parenting, and “doing it all.”

-Staying grounded - and thriving - through life transitions

With options for nature-based Ecotherapy in San Diego or video-based counseling for California residents, there’s something for everyone. For more information about me & how I practice therapy, visit the About page.

I know it can be difficult to find the time and energy to connect with a therapist, so I offer a free 15-minute consultation. Reach out to get started!

Therapy for Parents & Pregnancy

Everyone can benefit from support through the twists and turns brought on by pregnancy, postpartum, and/or the long game of parenthood. You’ll find that your concerns will be met with compassion, insight, and warmth (from a well-seasoned mom of two)!

Therapy for Highly Sensitive People

Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) have unique gifts and challenges - I know because I am one too! You’ll find my approach is warm, understanding, and collaborative - supporting you in setting and maintaining healthy boundaries while engaging in radical self-compassion.

Ecotherapy Private Sessions & Retreats

For those seeking to deepen their connection with self and the natural world, Ecotherapy sessions incorporate mindfulness with traditional psychotherapy. Ecotherapy sessions are also a great way for those who find peace outdoors, or who may be uncomfortable meeting in-office, to experience the benefits of therapy. At this time, I am offering Ecotherapy sessions at locations throughout Central and Coastal San Diego. Visit my Ecotherapy page or contact me for more information.

I also work with individuals, groups, and companies to create custom team building, workshop, or retreat experiences that incorporate mindfulness, nature connection, and community building. Visit my Retreats page or contact me for more information.
