Dr. John Helmer

Psychologist

Virtual • La Mesa, CA


I work collaboratively with individuals to recognize their strengths, values, and changes they want to make. My approach to therapy blends my unique background in both social work and clinical psychology. Personally, I was born and raised in San Diego and branched out to gain unique experiences, and ultimately settled back home. Other interesting facts include that I played collegiate soccer, try to exercise when I’m not spending time with family, and am an avid hip hop fan.

Holly Hadley

Holly Hadley

Therapist

Virtual • California


If a past relationship left you doubting yourself — especially one marked by psychological or emotional abuse — you're not alone, and it's not a sign something's wrong with you. Even if life looks fine on the outside, you may feel confused, depleted, or unsure of your own reality. You don't need it all figured out to start, just a readiness to do the work. Together, we'll make sense of what happened, untangle the cycles that kept repeating, and rebuild a grounded sense of self — so you can trust your own voice again. Using a trauma-informed, integrative approach, I help you move from self-doubt to self-trust.

You don't have to filter yourself here—not your thoughts, your story, or the parts you're still making sense of. If you're tired of second-guessing yourself and ready to rebuild something solid, you deserve a space where you can show up fully, without judgment, and start trusting your own voice again.
