Modern therapy for today's children and adults

At Dr. Nate Psych, therapy is never one-size-fits-all. It’s personal, collaborative, and grounded in real connection. Based in San Clemente, we’ve created a warm, welcoming space where kids, teens, adults, and families can feel understood and supported.

You might be dealing with anxiety, school challenges, a neurodevelopmental disorder, relationship challenges, parenting stress, or simply feeling stuck. Our modern, integrative approach blends proven clinical methods with compassion and insight, so you can feel safe, seen, and ready to move forward.

Led by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Nate Balfanz, we meet you where you are—emotionally, culturally, and practically. Sessions are available both in-person and virtually, giving you the flexibility to get the care you need throughout San Clemente and Orange County. With over 20 years of experience and a background that spans local and international communities, Dr. Nate brings curiosity, expertise, and cultural sensitivity into every session to help you build confidence, clarity, and lasting change.

Dr. Nate earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University in 2012, as well as completing a 2-year postgraduate fellowship at Reiss-Davis Child Study Center of Los Angeles with specialty training in child and adolescent treatment and neurobiological development. Over the course of his doctoral studies, Dr. Nate developed his dissertation entitled, "Psychology Internship Training in Evidence-Based Treatments for Youth With Disruptive Behavior Problems," which focuses on assessing the quality of clinical training for early career clinicians in mental health counseling for children and adolescents.
