Our Philosophy

Blue sky and ocean picture of Positive Psychology Inc. Inclusive and affirming therapy

Our Philosophy (English)

We believe that each person has the potential to grow and realize happiness at any age. Our ultimate focus in therapy is to increase fulfillment in our lives, not merely to eliminate negativity or "symptoms."  Sometimes disorders (clusters of symptoms) describe your perfect uniqueness, and we can assist you in living your authentic life. Your reaction to events or ideologies is valid and healthy, and you may feel relieved by our aid in healing and growing from them. The source of joy and the journey to get in touch with it are unique to each person. We can find solutions and resources within yourself, or your ancestral or cultural collective knowledge. 


We have worked extensively with people who have recovered/developed a sense of agency and flourished despite the challenges, including the following:

  • stress
  • depression
  • death/loss of a loved one
  • abuse, violence
  • traumatic events (racism, war, sexual assault, traffic accident, birth trauma, etc.)
  • anxiety (panic attacks, excessive worrying, obsessions, and compulsions)
  • relationship problems (with a romantic partner/ a spouse, (step) children, (step) grandchildren, (step) siblings, (step) parents, friends, coworkers, etc.)
  • communication difficulties 
  • sexual problems
  • cultural adjustment
  • addictions
  • death and dying, chronic pain, and physical illnesses.


We offer individual, couples, and family therapy. We are guests of Kumeyaay land, which is now called San Diego, California. We are providing treatment and psychological evaluations exclusively via teletherapy at this time. Anyone in California can receive care.


We are available to provide therapy in English, Japanese, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.


We welcome racial, ethnic, sexual, gender, relational, spiritual, neuro, and body diversity.


We are a group of doctors (psychologists and postdoctoral fellows) who have lived experiences belonging to one or more historically excluded or marginialized groups. We have worked extensively with those who hold various intersectional heavily marginalized identities as well as those without many of them.  


. We believe in social justice and maximizing people's potential. We continue to examine our privileges and biases and humbly learn to become better neighbors and advocates. We welcome diversity and stand against systemic oppression, injustice, and violence against marginalized communities.  We strive to be a part of the collective force in Radical Healing and Radical Hope.


We stand in solidarity with the Black, Indigenous, Asian and Pacific Islanders, West Asian, and Latinx communities and other people of color. We challenge oppressive policies, and we are committed to being antiracists. We honor your ancestral and cultural authenticity and wisdom, which may guide us to your healing and resourcefulness.


We are committed to serving people of all sexual, gender, and relationship diversity. All of our doctors are LGBTQIA+ affirming and competent. We take a sex-positive approach and embrace relational diversity, kink/BDSM practices, and asexuality. In addition, we work closely with children and adults on topics related to sexual or gender diversity and other topics not directly related to sexual or gender identity. 


 We celebrate body diversity and honor differences and changes in body size, shape, appearance, and function. We believe in accepting and respecting our own bodies as they are right now instead of advocating the idea that we need to diet or achieve a specific size, shape, or ability to find contentment with how we are. We strive to be anti-ableist and actively act on making the environment more accessible. 


We celebrate brain diversity and honor differences, and assist neurodivergent people to live authentically and freely. We believe the difficulty neurodivergent people face in society is not due to their difference being inherently wrong but rather due to society's failure to recognize and accommodate diverse ways our brains work. We hope to work together to understand ways that you can self-express, unmask safely, and live authentically and comfortably.\


We cherish the diversity of humanity. We are committed to creating a safe space to foster healing and growth.


Yes, life poses obstacles. And we hope to support you as you find strength within you  and flourish!

· Estrés

· Depresión

· abuso, violencia

· eventos traumáticos (racismo, guerra, agresión sexual, accidente de tráfico)

· ansiedad (ataques de pánico, preocupación excesiva, obsesiones y compulsiones)

· problemas sexuales

Somos un grupo de psicólogos y postdoctorales que han pasado por experiencias de grupos marginados y hemos trabajado extensamente con personas marginadas y no marginadas. Creemos en la justicia social y en maximizar la potencia de personas.


Continuamos examinando nuestros privilegios, prejuicios y aprendemos humildemente para convertirnos en mejores vecinos y defensores. Damos la bienvenida a la diversidad y nos oponemos a la opresión sistémica, injusticia y violencia contra las comunidades marginadas.


En Positive Psychology, estamos comprometidos a servir a personas de toda la diversidad sexual y de género. Todos nuestros doctores afirman LGBTQIA+. Trabajamos con niños y adultos con temas relacionados con la diversidad sexual o de género, así como otros temas no directamente relacionados con la identidad sexual o de género.


Nos solidarizamos con las comunidades negras, indígenas, asiáticas y latinas, así como con otras personas de color. Retamos las políticas opresivas y estamos comprometidos a ser antirracistas.


En Positive Psychology Inc, celebramos la diversidad de nuestro cuerpo y honramos las diferencias en el tamaño, la forma, la apariencia y la función de nuestros cuerpos. Creemos en aceptar y respetar nuestros propios cuerpos tal como son en este momento en lugar de pensar que necesitamos hacer dieta o alcanzar un cierto tamaño o forma para encontrar satisfacción con nuestros cuerpos.


Apreciamos la diversidad de la humanidad. Estamos comprometidos a crear un espacio seguro para sanar y crecer.


Sí, la vida plantea obstáculos. ¡Pero un plan personalizado creado solo para usted puede hacer la vida más plena, alegre y significativa!

理念(Japanese)

どなたでも、年齢に関わらず、成長し、より幸せになることができると思います。心理療法の目標は人生をより豊かにすることであり、「症状」など悪いものを除去することにとどまりません。「精神障害」(症状がいくつかまとまると診断されます)と呼ばれるものは、実はあなた自身の個性を表している場合もあり、あなたらしい人生を歩むお手伝いをすることもできます。また、ある出来事や考えに対し健全な反応が精神病と診断される場合もあり、私共が治癒のお手伝いをしたいと思っています。幸せがどこから来るのか、またどのように幸せな人生にたどり着くかは人それぞれです。解決策や力の源はあなた自身か祖先や文化全体の中で見つけられることでしょう。


これまで以下のような逆境がありながら、主動感を得たり取り戻したりし、繁栄し充実した人生を送ることができた方々のお力添えさせていただいていきました。


  • ストレス
  • 鬱
  • 喪失
  • 虐待、暴力
  • トラウマ/心的外傷(人種差別、戦争、性的暴行、交通事故、出産に関係するトラウマ)
  • 不安(パニック障害、執着と脅迫、心配性、対人恐怖症)
  • 人間関係のいざこざ(交際相手/配偶者、(継)子、(継)親、(継)祖父母、(継)きょうだい、友人、同僚)
  • コミュニケーションの問題
  • 文化的適応
  • 性的な問題
  • 依存
  • 死への直面、慢性痛、重い病気



個人、カップル、家族カウンセリングを行っております。


現在英語、日本語、スペイン語、中国語でのご相談をお伺いしております。


私共は臨床心理の免許を持った心理学博士、博士課程を終了したカウンセラー、または博士課程のカウンセラーで、個人的にも社会的に不都合な経験をしたことがあり、社会的に虐げられるような自己自認がいくつもあるクライエントの方々とも、そのような経験をしてこなかったクライエントの方々とも深くお話しをする機会を頂いてきました。


社会的正義を広め、お一人お一人の可能性を最大に引き出すお手伝いをしたいと思っております。自分自身の特権や偏見を見直し、謙虚に学ぶことで、良い隣人となり、支持をする努力をしております。根本的な癒しと根本的な希望を目指すお力となることを願っています。


我々は黒人、先住民、ラテンアメリカ系、アジア系、太平洋諸島系、西アジア系などの方々と団結し、協力致しております。様々な多様性を重視し、組織的圧迫、不当な扱い、暴力に共に立ち向かいます。差別的な政策と人種差別に反対していく努力をしております。皆様のご先祖様や文化的な知恵は治癒や力の源となる鍵かもしれず、重視しております。


ポジティブサイコロジーでは性的指向や性自認、また恋愛関係性がどのような方々も安心してお越し頂ける場です。全てのドクターはLGBTQIA+の性的少数派の方々を肯定し支持しております。性的肯定(セックスポジティブ)であり、BDSMや無性愛も支持しております。性の多様性に関する事も関係しないことも、お子様と成人のクライエントの方々のご相談に乗っております。Se 


ポジティブサイコロジーでは体の多様性を大事にし、体の大きさ、見かけ、機能の違いや変化を尊重します。ダイエットをしたり、体の大きさ、形、機能を変えることで幸せを手に入れるのではなく、今現在の体をそのまま受け入れるお手伝いをしております。障害への差別に反対し、誰もがより心地良く過ごせる環境にすることを目指しております。


人間の多様性を大事にし、回復と成長を安全に行える環境を作るよう励んでおります。

人生は山あり谷ありですが、ご自身のお持ちの力を見出し、繁栄、充実した人生を送れるようお手伝いしたいと思っております。​

 是的,生活中会遇到困难和瓶颈。我们希望可以帮助找到您潜在的力量和活出绽放的人生!

La Nostra Filosofia (Italian)

Crediamo che ogni individuo abbia il potenziale per crescere e realizzare la propria felicità a qualsiasi età. Il nostro obiettivo durante la terapia è quello di trovare soluzioni adeguate per ritrovare il benessere psicologico, con conseguente miglioramento della qualità della vita. La fonte della felicità ed il cammino da intraprendere per incontrarla sono unici per ogni persona.  Soluzioni e risorse possono essere trovate dentro di te o nella tua conoscenza collettiva ancestrale o culturale. 


 

Abbiamo lavorato a lungo con persone che hanno recuperato/sviluppato  la consapevolezza soggettiva di iniziare, eseguire e controllare le proprie azioni volitive nel mondo  e sono fiorite nonostante le sfide, tra cui :


  • stress
  • depressione
  • morte/perdita di una persona cara
  • abuso, violenza
  • eventi traumatici (razzismo, guerra, violenza sessuale, incidenti stradali, ecc.)
  • ansia (attacchi di panico, preoccupazioni eccessive, ossessioni ed impulsi)
  • problemi relazionali (compagno, coniuge, figli, figliastri, fratelli, fratellastri, genitori, matrigne, patrigni, colleghi, ecc.)
  • difficoltà comunicative
  • problemi sessuali
  • adattamento culturale
  • dipendenze
  • morte, dolori cronici, malattie fisiche


Offriamo terapia individuale, di coppia, e di famiglia.

 

Siamo un gruppo di medici (psicologi e borsisti post-dottorato) che hanno avuto esperienze con gruppi emarginati, e lavorato a lungo con persone emarginate e non. Crediamo nella giustizia sociale e nella massimizzazione del potenziale dei singoli individui.

 

Continuiamo ad analizzare i nostri privilegi e pregiudizi, e umilmente facciamo del nostro meglio per diventare vicini e sostenitori migliori. Accogliamo con piacere la diversità e ci opponiamo all’oppressione sistematica, l’ingiustizia, e la violenza contro le comunità emarginate.  Ci sforziamo di essere parte della forza collettiva di Radical Healing “Guarigione Radicale”  e Radical Hope “Speranza Radicale.”  


Siamo solidali con le comunità di colore, Neri, Indigeni, Asiatici, popolazione delle isole del Pacifico e Asiatici dell’ occidente, la comunità Latina e persone di altri colori.  Sfidiamo le politiche razziste, e ci impegniamo fortemente ad essere antirazzisti.  Onoriamo la tua autenticità e saggezza ancestrali e culturali, che possono guidarci verso la tua guarigione e intraprendenza. 


Presso Positive Psychology Inc, il nostro servizio è dedicato alla diversità sessuale e di genere. Tutti i nostri dottori affermano la comunità LGBTQIA+. Lavoriamo a stretto contatto con bambini e adulti trattando tematiche relative alla diversità sessuale o di genere, ma anche di altri argomenti. 

 

In Positive Psychology Inc, celebriamo la diversità del corpo e onoriamo le differenze e i cambiamenti nelle dimensioni, nella forma, nell'aspetto e nella funzione del corpo.  Crediamo nell’accettazione e nel rispetto dei nostri corpi così come sono in questo momento  invece di sostenere l'idea che dobbiamo seguire una dieta o raggiungere una certa dimensione, forma, o abilità per trovare appagamento con quello che siamo.

Apprezziamo la diversità dell’umanità. Ci impegniamo a creare un luogo sicuro per favorire la guarigione e la crescita.


Sì, la vita ci pone degli ostacoli,  

E speriamo di sostenerti mentre trovi la  forza dentro di te e fiorisci!
