Find the Right Support Without Having to Figure It Out Alone
Finding the right mental health care can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to. Wings Counseling Center provides therapy and assessment services designed around each person’s concerns, goals, and clinical needs, serving children ages 6+, teens, adults, couples, and families throughout San Diego County. Our offices are located in Carlsbad and La Mesa, and we welcome clients from nearby communities such as Encinitas, Oceanside, San Marcos, El Cajon, and Santee, with virtual care available when clinically appropriate.
Talk With Our Team
Contact Wings Counseling Center if anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship problems, emotional overwhelm, substance use, school refusal, or another mental health challenge is interfering with daily life.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one therapy provides a private, collaborative space to understand symptoms, process experiences, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals. Your therapist may recommend ACT, CBT, DBT-informed skills, EMDR, motivational interviewing, or another approach based on your needs.
Child and Teen Therapy
Children ages 6 and older and teens may show distress through changes in mood, behavior, sleep, school performance, relationships, or physical complaints. Child and teen therapy uses age-appropriate methods and may include caregiver involvement based on the child’s needs and concerns.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy helps partners understand recurring patterns, communicate more effectively, and work through concerns such as conflict, distance, trust, intimacy, parenting, or major transitions.
Family Therapy
Family therapy focuses on communication and relationships across the family system. It may help families navigate stress, loss, trauma, substance use, parenting challenges, or a family member’s mental health needs.
Psychological Testing
Psychological assessment may help answer questions about attention, learning, autism, trauma, memory, personality, cognitive functioning, or diagnosis.
Anger Management Therapy
Anger management therapy can help clients understand triggers, recognize escalation patterns, practice emotional regulation and communication skills, and respond more intentionally in difficult situations.
In-Person Care
We have three locations in Carlsbad to make in-person care accessible. For some, coming into the office provides a dedicated space for healing and introspection.
Online Therapy
Online therapy sessions offer clients a convenient way to access care privately. Contact our team to determine if virtual appointments are a fit for your needs.
Higher Levels of Care
When weekly outpatient therapy is not enough, a higher level of care may provide more structure and clinical support. Learn about residential treatment, partial hospitalization programming (PHP), and intensive outpatient programming (IOP) available through Wings Recovery in Carlsbad.
