Hi there, my name is Dr. Jodi Tompkins and I am a licensed psychologist working in La Jolla, CA. I provide a unique combination of psychotherapy and coaching that builds on individual strengths to improve personal, relational, professional, and family lives. By understanding unhelpful patterns and experiences from our past, we can cultivate healthy awareness and coping tools in the present, which optimize our ability to grow and thrive in the future.
My approach
I provide a unique combination of psychotherapy and coaching that builds on individual strengths to improve personal, relational, professional, and family lives. I use an integrative approach that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, developmental psychology, positive psychology, and my own identity development curriculum to help people unlock their potential to thrive through difficult seasons and life transitions and experience deeper connections and relational health.
My focus
I enjoy working with individuals from adolescents through older adulthood, especially those seeking a deeper awareness and confidence in themselves. This involves helping individuals develop coping resources to manage anxiety, depression, relational issues, life transitions, parenting, chronic pain, posttraumatic stress disorder, and a variety of challenging circumstances that get in the way of thriving and moving forward in one's life.
My communication style
My goal is to create a space that feels safe and welcoming. We all long to be seen and heard and valued and it is in those conditions that we optimize our capacity to grow and thrive.
