Counseling in La Jolla, CA. Find the Right Therapist.

Dr. Knatz Pecks specializes in delivering state-of-the-art, evidence-based treatments for a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational issues in a warm and compassionate manner that merges science with the art of human connection.

Coming to therapy can be a vulnerable experience, which is why I aim to provide a safe, supportive, empathetic and nonjudgmental environment. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma, I will help you recognize your strengths in order to overcome you

Reaching out for help can be hard; I work on helping to make it a bit easier. My style is non-judgmental, supportive, and validating, while also being honest and direct. I look forward to hearing about how I can support you in your therapy process.

My expertise in treating anxiety disorders for 20+ years will finally help you overcome your anxiety problems--panic, social anxiety, OCD, etc. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindful and Compassion-Focussed therapy for a supportive, targeted path to recovery.

I practice alternative approaches to emotional healing and wellness because traditional psychotherapy isn’t for everyone. I integrate an individual’s body, mind, and spirit/spirituality because sometimes we are stuck in one or all of these vital areas of our experience.
