Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years’ experience now practicing from San Diego Ca. In my work I most typically find myself working with people through difficult times in their lives and with difficult relationships that can be overwhelming. Often clients are seeking facilitated insight and a refreshed approach to life’s situations that are often complicated. Some feel a need to explore their quests for simple happiness and rewarding relationships. Some client’s, who may have felt themselves empowered find themselves struggling as life comes at them and they struggle to understand how to address the changes in circumstances life can hand us and make us feel like our lives have become unmanageable. Other clients are aware of the building need to reconcile their past with their present and the conflict from this position can be excruciatingly necessary to be resolved and the results of self-esteem and more rewarding closeness to others can finally be within one’s grasp. Unfortunately for some, the need to reach out to someone unknown can be on a scale of liberating to nauseating. However, often family and friends we normally rely on cannot be reached out to as they are often involved or invested with their own bias to your circumstances. Reaching out for help is a sign of desire for change and help-seeking behaviors are known to be strengths as opposed to a weakness.
In my practice, I aspire to be a good and neutral listener. Client’s report a sense of being understood which unlocks for them the ability to see their situations as either shared by others or that their reactions are “normal” yet uncomfortable. New alternatives that work for individuals and those we care for around us can be opened and tried out. When our old approaches do not work anymore it is time to examine new ones and the correctness of their fit to one’s own circumstances. While guided by known research and proven approaches, I have the capacity to assist with self-assessment, new alternatives, and new thinking and feeling about relationships within your unique circumstances. Change at one’s own pace is often the rewarding response you experience through such an approach.

Dr. Micheal Weuste is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CA LCSW 84945) practicing from San Diego, California, with 40 years of clinical experience. He most often supports people facing difficult periods and managing relationships that feel overwhelming.
Many who seek his help are looking for guided insight and a refreshed way to approach complicated life situations. Some want to explore a clearer path to everyday satisfaction and more rewarding connections, while others who once felt empowered find they are struggling to respond to sudden changes or circumstances that make life feel unmanageable.
Dr. Weuste also works with people who wish to reconcile their past with their present – a challenging process that can be essential for improving self-esteem and creating closer, more satisfying relationships. He recognizes that reaching out for help can feel both liberating and uncomfortable, and that friends and family are not always able to offer the neutral perspective a person may need.
In practice, Dr. Weuste aims to be a calm and impartial listener. He helps clients see their reactions as understandable and opens possibilities for new approaches when old patterns no longer fit. Grounded in research and established methods, he assists with self-assessment, offers alternative strategies, and supports new ways of thinking and feeling about relationships within each person’s unique circumstances. Change at an individual pace is a common and often rewarding outcome of this work.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
A major benefit is flexibility – individuals can choose the mode of connection that best suits their comfort and schedule, whether that is a video appointment, a phone call, a live chat session, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, practical way to work on mental health and relationship goals while maintaining the standards of professional care.
