Hi, I’m Wesley Walters, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I work individually with teens and adults, using an integrative strength-based approach tailored to meet the specific needs of each client.

My interventions draw from various therapeutic models, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, existential therapy, narrative therapy, internal family systems, and psychodynamic therapy. My primary goal is to collaborate with clients to help them develop a deeper sense of agency and mastery over their lives.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychological science with a minor in philosophy from California State University San Marcos, where I spent three years doing independent research in applied social psychology. I then received my master’s degree in counseling psychology from California State University East Bay, with an emphasis in both Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling.

My training included a county partial hospitalization program, where I provided both individual and group therapy to adults dealing with PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, chronic psychosis, and substance abuse disorders. I also gained experience working in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, where I supported children and teens facing challenges such as ADHD, ASD, PTSD, psychosis, self-harm, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance abuse.

I look forward to working with you and helping you on your journey toward personal growth and healing.
