Hello, I'm Slobodan Nesovic, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience. My global journey and immigrant background has deepened my empathy for the everyday battles we all face, allowing me to guide individuals through anxiety, trauma, stress, and life's pivotal transitions with compassion and insight. As someone who's navigated profound changes myself, I specialize in helping ordinary people rediscover their inner strength, find balance amid chaos, and embrace new chapters with renewed clarity and hope. If you're seeking a supportive partner to navigate these challenges, I'm here to walk alongside you on your path to emotional wholeness.
Welcome! I am so glad you are here. I look forward to working alongside you on your therapeutic journey, whether this is your first time or continuing your healing journey.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and long-term psychotherapy. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and the lasting impact of trauma.
My professional background includes service in military and veteran-support settings, as well as work in community mental health, medical and hospital-based environments, and outpatient therapy. This breadth of experience allows me to support clients across a wide range of life circumstances—from acute stress and major transitions to deeper, long-term personal growth.
My practice is grounded in a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that integrates evidence-based and relational therapies. I believe therapy works best when clients feel supported, understood, and appropriately challenged, with the goal of not just symptom relief, but meaningful, lasting change in how clients relate to themselves and others.
I am fortunate to have a varied experience throughout my career. I began with working as an Addiction Therapist in 2012, primarily with the veteran community. Since then, my specialty scope has extended to include serving the LGTBQIA+ population, teens and young adults, and couples. As a Mexican-American and Hawaiian woman, I am a fierce advocate for individuals of diverse backgrounds to have equitably access to culturally competent therapeutic services.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master of Art's Degree in Clinical Psychology. I'm deeply passionate about both empowering and helping others to heal and grow. I’ve been in the mental health field for over 18 years and feel that the work that I do is indeed my life purpose I specialize in trauma and like to work from a holistic lens of care. I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Hypnosis for Trauma & PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder). I’m also a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider (CMHIMP), Trauma Informed Yoga.
Grounded in the idea that there's no "right" way a person "should" live, I co-explore possibilities with clients when challenges (such as relationship issues, life transitions, feelings of failure or stuckness) show up.
I am a dedicated mental health professional specializing in comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, strategic treatment planning, and collaborative care.
Hi there! My name is Jackie Arceo and I am a Filipino-American Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and am currently residing in San Diego. I received my Master's in Social Welfare from UCLA. I have worked in residential settings, schools, as well as outpatient clinics. I am trained in CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, and EMDR. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my partner and going on regular foodie adventures.
As a Stanford-trained Psychiatrist, I offer medication management and therapy for a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anger, stress, burnout, divorce, addiction, and others. I see adults age 18-60. I am also board certified in Addiction Medicine. I am not treating ADHD with stimulant medications at the current time due to in-person visit requirements to prescribe controlled substances. I am unable to offer therapy only if you have another psychiatrist (I will need to manage your psychiatric medications).
Life is hard and naturally comes with stressors and overwhelming feelings, no matter your age. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed with your emotions, or maybe you recently experienced a difficult situation. These are very normal and natural moments that everyone will encounter at some point in their life. Just as we go to the doctors when we have aches or pains in or body, we should also see someone when we have aches or pains in our mind and soul. Valiant Mentality is about having the courage of addressing your struggles instead of ignoring them. With almost 18 years of clinical experience, I know that everyone has the capacity to heal, no matter the circumstance . Today, make that first decision towards the change you want to see and schedule your appointment with Valiant Mentality. I look forward to meeting with you.
