Welcome! I’m Bonnie Deroo.
I’m a licensed clinical counselor and marriage and family therapist in San Diego.
I’m passionate about helping people and their families who struggle with anxiety, depression, and addiction. I use compassion to help you move forward in your life with action, purpose, and meaning.
My mission as a therapist is to create a warm, judgment-free space where you feel seen, heard, and deeply cared for. My clients often say they can tell I truly care for them—and I really do. Every client is special and dear to me.
In therapy, you will feel safe, begin healing, and learn skills to manage life’s challenges. I will support you each step of the way.
If you want to live a rich, full, and meaningful life, I can help you figure out what that is for you, and help you get there at your own pace. I look forward to knowing you!
