Nicole Bernardi

Nicole Bernardi

Therapist

Virtual • California


It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

Jennifer Witmondt

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Encinitas, CA


I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. My goal is to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your story at your own pace and reconnect with hope.

I specialize in working with adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, childhood wounds, betrayal, and the lasting effects of narcissistic or emotionally unhealthy relationships. I also enjoy supporting people of faith who are working through spiritual wounds while preserving or rebuilding a healthy relationship with God.

I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University and am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California and an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) in Oregon. I have specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), allowing me to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply longing for greater peace and freedom, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
