Andrea Guttman(She/Her/Hers)

Andrea Guttman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Diego, CA. She works with youth, young adults, and adults, with a specialty in maternal mental health and supporting women who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism. Many of her clients appear successful on the outside but feel stuck, exhausted, and disconnected on the inside. They are often managing careers, relationships, and caregiving roles——while quietly struggling to prioritize their own well-being or feel truly present in their lives.

Andrea’s approach integrates evidence-based methods with holistic, mind-body healing. She draws from nervous system regulation, somatic practices, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy in a strengths-based framework. Her work helps clients move from survival mode into a more grounded, authentic, and empowered way of living. Each session is a space to reconnect with yourself and build practical, sustainable tools for emotional resilience—always tailored to your unique identity, story, and goals.

With over 15 years of experience across community mental health, juvenile justice, and school-based settings, Andrea brings a deep understanding of how personal history, societal pressure, and intergenerational dynamics can impact mental and emotional health. She is certified in maternal mental health and offers particular insight into the emotional demands of caregiving, identity shifts, and healing from intergenerational patterns of overfunctioning and people-pleasing.

Andrea offers in-person walk-and-talk sessions for clients in San Diego, as well as virtual therapy across California. Her compassionate, collaborative style creates a safe and empowering space for growth, healing, and self-discovery where clients can reconnect with themselves and learn to trust their inner voice.
