Many people come to therapy because they feel disconnected, trapped in difficult patterns, or overwhelmed by pain, loss, anxiety, or uncertainty.

Therapy is a way to help you return to yourself. It is meant to foster integration, peace, healing, and a deeper connection with your life and relationships.

I am Nick Bustos, PhD, LMFT, a psychotherapist, graduate professor, speaker and author. I work with individuals, people in relationships, with a special emphasis on those navigating periods of personal, relational, and spiritual transformation. I also work with therapists, helpers and healers looking to grow in their work and vocation.

I live and work in California and my practice is online.

Areas of Focus

• Depth-oriented, integrative psychotherapy
• Relationship and family concerns
• Spiritual emergence and transformative experiences
• Trauma and the wounds of early life
• Therapy for therapists, healers, and helping professionals

What happens when I work with Dr. Nick?

I do not simply offer advice or symptom-management techniques (though of course you will learn new skills). I aim to help you understand the patterns, motivations and beliefs shaping your experience and to create a space in which genuine healing and transformation can occur.

Check out my website to learn more about me and the services I provide. I love what I do and look forward to hearing from you.
