The Center for CBT & Mindfulness

The Center for CBT & Mindfulness, centrally located in North County San Diego, was founded in 2019 by Chelsie Giambrone. Not all mental health care is created equal. Our treatment is rooted in the gold standard of care - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and a few guiding principles: Evidence-Based Treatment. We provide treatment that works. We know these treatments are effective because they've been evaluated through rigorous Randomized Control Trials. We have been trained in these approaches by experts in the field. Cost-Effective. Affordable care for all, regardless of socioeconomic status. We accept commercial insurance, provide sliding fee options and establish Single Case Agreements to ensure everyone has access to high quality care. Change. We will plan, problem solve and, most importantly DO. Good therapy involves hard work, and as a result, you will achieve what you came here to do. Collaborative. You know you best. As such, we will help you figure out what is best for you, your family and your life. With us, you can count on a collaborative and dynamic relationship built on trust. You're expected to be an active participant in the treatment process. -- We offer a variety of highly specialized, evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapies and treatments including the gold standard of care for the conditions we treat. These treatments include: ERP, PE, BA, SPACE, CBT-E, CBT-AR, FBT, CBT-I, CBT-CP, MBCT, ACT, PMT and more.
