San Diego Marriage & Family Therapy | The Therapy Innovation
We are a Local 501(c)3 San Diego Non-Profit - Help Support Our Work
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.
Our Approach
We tailor every experience using a range of proven therapeutic approaches designed to meet your unique needs. Our San Diego therapists draw from these evidence-based approaches:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Psychodynamic Therapy
Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
There are many other types of therapies that we use to help you create a per healing plan for you. Together, we’ll find the combination that works for.
