Kathleen Southerland, AMFT
Bilingual Therapist for ADHD, Autism & Anxiety | San Diego
You deserve a space where you can show up as yourself and feel genuinely understood. I’m a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Spanish who works with individuals navigating ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the challenges of feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood.
I have a particular passion for working with neurodivergent individuals through an affirming, strengths-based approach. Together, we’ll work to better understand how your mind works, identify patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop practical strategies that fit your life.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. Therapy is tailored to your unique needs and goals, whether you’re looking to manage overwhelm, strengthen relationships, build confidence, navigate change, or better understand yourself.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve spent years masking, pushing through, or trying to figure things out on your own. You don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out. We can start wherever you are and work toward a life that feels more manageable, authentic, and fulfilling.
