Welcome Inn - A place to land, reflect, and begin

The idea for Welcome Inn began long before this practice did. Our founder noticed that many people come to therapy carrying more than what they can easily name - often years of being brushed off, misunderstood, or rushed through their own story.



She wanted to create a space that felt different. A place where you could pause for a moment, let your shoulders drop, and not feel like you had to explain or defend anything.  We provide therapy in San Diego for individuals, couples, and teens, with telehealth counseling available across California. The Welcome Inn philosophy is simple: when you feel like you can actually land somewhere, the work can finally begin.

We don’t fit you into a preset model. We take the time to understand what you’re carrying and what you need now.

Evidence-based care grounded in steady, human connection

Flexible, practical paths that help you feel safe enough to explore and move forward

Clear communication and respect at every step

This is therapy that helps you come home to yourself.

Taking the First Step Toward Change

in 3 easy steps

Starting something new can feel uncertain, especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. At The Therapy Innovation, we do everything we can to make that first step feel steady and manageable, so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Here’s what happens next:

• You’ll be connected with a care coordinator who gently walks you through the next steps.
• Our intake is simple, secure, and paperless, and can be completed at your own pace.
• We help you choose a therapist who feels right for you and understands what you’re carrying.
• Flexible scheduling - including weekend, evening, and telehealth options - ensures you can begin in a way that fits your life and your responsibilities.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. Just reach out, and we’ll walk with you from there.
