She spent countless hours with me, not only meeting in her office, but also on the telephone when I wasn't able to make it to her office, or when I was scared and confused about the horror my children and I were experiencing at the time. Kelly gave me the map and the strength to stand up for myself and practice asserting healthy boundaries. She truly helped me become a better and stronger person, and for that, I will always be grateful. Kelly Sullivan, MFT is a true life guide and for anyone that wants or needs to find their way in this world, I highly recommend seeking her assistance. She is certainly deserving of a full 5 Star review. And, if my children had their own Yelp account, I'm positive they would each give her 5 Stars, too! Both my son and my daughter adore her!

She encouraged me to make certain changes in my life and move forward. I took her advice and my life continued to improve. I had seen other therapists before, but I felt none of them truly had by best interests at heart or truly understood me. Kelly did. I began working with Kelly again at the end of 2011, and I still see her today. She has helped me in so many positive ways, and for the first time in my life, I feel that I am now on the right path. I cannot say enough good things about her. She is wonderful. If you are will to do the work Kelly is up for the task. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make real changes in their life.

Attempts to address concerns did not lead to repair, and the focus shifted toward protecting the therapist's personal boundaries rather than supporting stabilization or closure.

I encourage others with complex mental health needs to discuss in advance how conflict, boundaries, and termination are handled.

I reached out to Coastal Counseling after reading the great reviews. It took days before hearing back from anyone and then after giving my information to the receptionist (?) they said they would reach out to the therapists to see who would want to take us on. Weeks go by and so I follow up and then the person asks me all the same questions again and then says the same exact thing...they'll reach out to the therapists. Another week goes by and then I get a text message asking if we could do an apt 2 hours before I told them my husband gets home from work. Which is not doable for us. Still waiting to hear back....guess I should look elsewhere. There services are probably great, if you can wait around long enough to actually get an appointment with someone.

I came to deal with Dr. Yager as a result of a mutual client. I represented a soldier in a DUI…read morecase who was suffering from PTSD arising from his service in the U.S. Army. In order to get "Manny" (not his real name) into a veteran's diversion program at the court, I had to immerse myself in his history and the circumstances that led to his PTSD. I am not a mental health professional, but, I have a private interest in understanding the human mind as the subject is inextricably interwoven into my profession, whether in dealing with clients, judges, witnesses or jurors, so I try to absorb as much as I can on the subject. Manny had been referred to Dr. Yager by his previous doctor when he was given an assignment to San Diego. It was the most fortuitous thing that could have happened for Manny. Unfortunately, as often happens in San Diego, the City welcomed Manny to town with a DUI arrest, and he was referred to me by another soldier I had previously helped. When I met with Manny, he was just racked with emotion. Concerned with losing his career on top of his well-being, Manny was distraught, depressed, scared, angry and completely bottled up. He had received inadequate treatment from multiple sources prior to seeing Dr. Yager, and skeptical about his prospects of recovery from the nightmares and hyper-alertness that dogged him. Sadly, I have observed this to be an all-too common pattern for those suffering from PTSD; it seems the medical profession is still lacking in tools for effective treatment, which was the case for Manny. Thankfully, Manny followed through with seeing Dr. Yager. As it happened, Dr. Yager's methods really clicked for him and he made incredible progress in a short amount of time. Meeting with Manny regularly and seeing his transformation was fascinating. Hearing Manny describe the changes he was experiencing, almost as if he was an awed bystander, was emotionally satisfying and intriguing to me. Dr. Yager has the gravitas to call bullshit on you. If you want to get past what is holding you back, is there anything more beneficial than being called out by someone with the wisdom to recognize it? When it came time to present Dr. Yager's observations and treatment plan to the court, he was incredibly gracious and informative. He was generous with his time, as I asked him questions that went beyond the immediate relevance of Manny's case, hungry for his knowledge and wisdom. He provided me with necessary documentation for the court, from which Manny's diversion was crafted. As Manny's program ended, Dr. Yager was again incredibly helpful and earnestly interested in Manny's success, providing documentation I needed for the court and prosecutor. The diversion was successful and Manny's case was dismissed, assuring that he doesn't carry a criminal conviction as a result of his "self-medicating" to deal with the mental scars his service left on him. Dr. Yager gave him the tools a man of action needed to move forward. I deeply appreciate what he did professionally for Manny and his personal commitment was what I wish all the mental health professionals I have dealt with, offered. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Yager to anyone. Including myself, as I think a little mental tune-up might be a beneficial thing for me... and he's just the kind of mechanic I need.

Yelp seems to be the more reliable site for reviews from real people with real experiences. I have known Nitza for at least 10 years. She has counseled me through some of the toughest experiences in my life. She is a wonderful therapist who genuinely cares for her patients. She is always available to either meet or talk on the phone. She is self-employed so you don't have to go through the answering service of a doctor's office. You actually get to speak directly to her! She's personable and easy to talk to. I've recommended her to family and friends and have only heard good things from them. She is very professional and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. She is sensitive to the average person's income regardless of her location in Del Mar. Nitza is a wealth of knowledge and has been a strong support in my life. I don't know what else to say other than I highly recommend her. If you are going through a difficult time in your life, she is a great person to talk to. She's become such a valuable and dear person in my life.
