Individual Therapy in San Diego & Online
Sometimes the most important relationship work happens one on one
Whether you're caught in a pattern you can't break, standing at a crossroads, navigating a complicated family, going through a divorce or painful breakup, or carrying something you've never quite been able to put down — individual therapy gives you the space to finally look at it clearly.
At Brinkmann Center we offer individual therapy for adults across a range of challenges, with two clinicians whose specialties complement each other.
You might be in the right place if you are:

You're self-aware, you've reflected on this, maybe even been in therapy before. And yet the same dynamics keep showing up — in relationships, in families, in the decisions you can't seem to make. Something deeper is at work, and insight alone hasn't shifted it.
Miriam works with adults who are ready to go beneath the surface — to understand not just what is happening, but why, and what it would take to change it for good.
Preston Lavin AMFT
For adults dealing with anxiety, OCD, and the exhaustion of holding it all together
You look fine on the outside. Inside there's a constant hum of worry, intrusive thoughts, or a low-grade sense of being stuck. You're high-functioning — and that's actually part of the problem. Nobody sees how hard you're working just to keep up.
Preston works with adults who are ready to stop managing their anxiety and start actually changing it

Anxiety & chronic worry
