The top of the list belongs to therapists who claimed and verified their profile, so you can read their own words about specialties, approaches, fees, insurance and format, then send an inquiry. Below, "More licensed providers in San Diego" gathers the remaining NPPES NPI Registry listings in the area, with name, credential, practice address and phone. Call those offices to ask whether they take new patients.

In the city, many practices sit in Hillcrest, North Park, Mission Valley, Kearny Mesa, Point Loma, La Jolla and Downtown. North County has its own cluster in Carlsbad, Oceanside, Encinitas and Escondido, and the South Bay in Chula Vista and National City. Freeway access on the 5, the 8 and the 15 often matters more than straight line distance.

San Diego residents commonly use employer plans, Covered California plans, TRICARE or Medi-Cal. Medi-Cal mental health benefits may be offered through a Medi-Cal managed care plan or through the county's mental health plan, depending on the kind of care, and the plan can explain which applies. For people paying out of pocket, the practice sets the fee; general national ranges of roughly 100 to 250 USD per session give only a rough idea. More in therapist that takes insurance and Medicaid.
