Amelia Scarcella

Hi, I’m Amelia, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m part of Clear Mind Counseling’s San Diego therapy team, where I work with individuals and couples who are seeking meaningful transformation in how they live, relate, and connect with others.

I pursued a career in mental health because I’ve always been inspired by the human capacity for growth and change. I see therapy as a starting point for transforming the way you experience your life and relationships. Often, this process involves gently exploring and healing past wounds that continue to influence present-day patterns.

Transformation can also mean identifying and releasing what may be blocking your potential — whether as an individual, family member, partner, or member of your community. In my work with individuals, I’m passionate about supporting an integrated sense of self, where living in alignment with your values and personal agency becomes part of everyday life.

In my work with couples, I help partners develop greater self-awareness, compassion, and effective communication strategies so they can strengthen their bond and support one another through adversity.

It’s truly an honor for me to get to know the depth of each person I meet and to reflect back the dignity, worth, and humanity I see in them.

MY APPROACH

MY PHILOSOPHY ON THE THERAPEUTIC EXPERIENCE AND CHANGE

Committing to a process of transformation takes courage and conviction.

I am committed to being your guide along your journey of transformation, however big or small, because I recognize the strength it takes to trust someone with your vulnerability.

My promise to you, as my client, is that I will try to understand with my whole heart what you feel called to transform and what influenced you to arrive where you are today.

At the start of our time together, we will collaborate to set clear goals you see for yourself or for your relationships so that by the time our work together comes to an end, you experience a tangible difference in how you feel and how you connect with others.

Any level of transformation often requires some discomfort. As much as there can be discomfort in transformation, there is promise of an equal or greater amount of beauty and grace.

That is the hope and reward I will persistently advocate to those committing to transform their mental health.

Ensuring a good fit between therapist and client is crucial for successful therapy. We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good match. Taking this first step to seek support is important, and we are honored to guide you on your path towards healing and personal growth.
