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.

Founded and clinically led by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Nate Balfanz, Dr. Nate Psych is a collaborative practice providing thoughtful, personalized care for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Our clinicians bring complementary experience and perspectives while sharing a commitment to warmth, authenticity, clinical excellence, and meaningful relationships with the people we work with. Sessions are available in person at our San Clemente offices and virtually throughout California, so you can get the care you need in the way that fits your life.

Dr. Nate earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University and completed a two-year postgraduate fellowship at the Reiss-Davis Child Study Center in Los Angeles, with specialty training in child and adolescent treatment. His research focused on the quality of clinical training for early-career clinicians working with children and adolescents, and that same attention to training and judgment guides how he builds the team at Dr. Nate Psych today. Every clinician who joins the practice is selected by Dr. Nate for their skill, integrity, and alignment with the practice's approach.
