A Different Way of Practicing Therapy
Many people come to therapy because patterns, emotional distress, or survival responses that once helped them now feel heavy, confusing, or limiting.
At Center for Mindful Relationships, we practice trauma-informed, Compassion Based Awareness Therapy (CBAT) that honors your experience without assuming anything is “wrong.” There is nothing wrong with you. You’ve been doing the best you could with what you knew and it’s not working anymore.
If what once helped you survive no longer feels supportive, our work focuses on cultivating compassion and choice in how you relate to yourself and others. From there, a new way forward becomes possible.

We offer individual, couples, and relational therapy in San Diego and online throughout California.
Our Approach
Therapy at CFMR is a collaborative process shaped by presence, curiosity, and compassion. We work at a pace that honors each person’s nervous system and lived experience, attending not only to thoughts and emotions, but to the body and the relational field as well.
Our work is grounded in Compassion Based Awareness Therapy (CBAT), a trauma-informed, relational approach that supports awareness of how patterns develop and how new ways of relating can emerge.
Healing through presence, not perfection.
We practice through the lens of Compassion-Based Awareness Therapy (CBAT) which supports clients while going through the very difficult and painful process of healing.
Wherever you are in California, you are welcome here. We provide LGBTQIA+ affirming and culturally responsive care that honors your full identity, your story and your lived experience.
