Helping you Find Guidance, Direction, Stability, and Purpose
At North Star Therapy, we believe that distance should never hinder you from receiving the support and guidance you deserve. While our physical location is nestled in the heart of San Diego, our reach extends far and wide, embracing clients from all corners of California. Led by Gina Metcalf, LCSW, our mental health therapist North Star Therapy has been a beacon of healing, specializing in empowering adult women to navigate the complexities of life.
Our mission is clear: to help you break free from the grip of anxiety, depression, trauma, and codependency, unlocking the potential that lies within you.
Why Choose North Star Mental Health Therapist?
The #1 thing I hear on consultation calls from people who have been in therapy previously and didn’t have an amazing experience is that they feel like they just talked the whole session and their therapist didn’t say anything back. This is not me!!! I’m a fun, modern, interactive mental health therapist who gives feedback and is super engaged in sessions. Also, my secret sauce is that I help clients do a personal boundary assessment at the beginning of our work together so that you have immediate tools to use after our first session I have also found sequencing therapy this way and teaching these concepts early on allows clients to progress more quickly when we go deep.
Gina Metcalf
Owner, LCSW
Hey there, I’m Gina Metcalf, your go-to mental health therapist on this exciting journey. At the crossroads of my 30-something years, life’s taught me a lot – and I’m here to share every bit of that wisdom with you.
I used to chase the thrill of new horizons, living life in places like Australia, Costa Rica, and across Europe. The world was my playground, but something was missing. Fast forward, and now my passion’s channeled into guiding you through your personal odyssey of healing and growth.
Let’s cut to the chase – I’m not your typical therapist. Authenticity is my jam, and yeah, I might let a cuss word slip in our sessions. Why? Because life’s messy, and being real is the only way I roll. We’re all beautifully flawed, and trust me, you won’t find any judgment here.
Here’s the deal: my rebel spirit isn’t just about flouting conventions – it’s about connecting with you on a deeper level. I’ve walked my own path of growth and self-discovery, and now I’m fully committed to walking it with you. Together, we’ll tackle your hurdles, smash through barriers, and uncover the strength you never knew you had.
Empowering Women to Embrace Authenticity and Thrive
I get it – the last thing you want is another therapy session where you feel like you’re doing all the talking and getting nothing in return. That’s not what I’m about at North Star Therapy. Let’s break it down – here’s what makes my style as a mental health therapist a game-changer:
Our Unique Approach
Navigating Life’s Complexities with You

High-Functioning: The "Houston, We've Got a Problem" Moments
Picture this: you’re acing life’s exterior game, but inside, there’s a whisper that something’s amiss. We call these the “Houston, we’ve got a problem” moments – times when everything seems alright, but a deeper voice tells you there’s more to explore. It’s okay, because we get it. We’re here to help you decode those subtle signals and delve into the uncharted waters of your emotions.
The Codependency Connection: Unraveling the Common Thread
Now, let’s chat about codependency – the secret sauce that often binds struggles like anxiety, depression, and trauma. It’s like the puzzle piece that fits perfectly into the bigger picture. We’ll explore this connection, helping you untangle and understand how it impacts your life. Because when you address codependency, you’re unlocking the gateway to a whole new level of healing.
Focused Specialization: Empowering Women Through Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Codependency
Ladies, this one’s for you. While we’re totally here for the guys too, our spotlight is on empowering women to conquer their battles. Whether it’s anxiety that’s been keeping you up at night, those “life’s not making sense” episodes of depression, the ghosts of past traumas, or the invisible chains of codependency, we’re in your corner. Together, we’ll equip you with the tools to face these challenges head-on.
