Discovering Santee’s Path to Healing
Santee, located in San Diego County’s East County region, is a vibrant city with a strong sense of community. The San Diego River runs through its heart, providing over 1,100 acres of green space and outdoor recreation.
Historically, Santee was home to the Kumeyaay people, who settled along the riverbanks. In the late 19th century, pioneers like George A. Cowles and Milton Santee played key roles in its development, with the city later named in honor of Milton.
Mental health remains a concern in California, where nearly one in six adults experiences mental health challenges. Around 7.7% of children also struggle with emotional disturbances. With increasing awareness and resources, Santee continues working toward a healthier, more supportive community.

TRAUMA THERAPY
Trauma impacts both the mind and body, shaping emotions, relationships, and overall well-being. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to work through difficult experiences, develop resilience, and take meaningful steps toward emotional healing and growth.

Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel impossible. Our therapists provide a compassionate environment where you can explore emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and rediscover hope for a more fulfilling life.
