The people behind your care

A San Diego team built around
your healing.

Every clinician at New Birth Family Counseling shares the same foundational belief: that lasting healing addresses root causes, not just symptoms, and that mind, body, and spirit are always connected. We see clients in our Mission Valley office and by telehealth throughout California, with appointments available early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Care is available in English and Spanish.

Founder
Dr. Regina Ransom
Clinical Director
Ph.D.  ·  Doctorate in Mind-Body Medicine
Dr. Ransom founded New Birth Family Counseling on the conviction that real healing requires treating the whole person. She holds two doctorates, one in counselor education and clinical supervision and one in mind-body medicine, alongside a background spanning nursing, clinical psychology, forensic psychology, addiction counseling, psychiatric mental health, and natural medicine. That combination is the reason NBFC can look at the mind and the body in the same room.
A U.S. Navy veteran herself, Dr. Ransom works closely with service members, veterans, and military families who want a clinician who understands the culture from the inside. Her personal healing journey and lifelong practice of herbal medicine form the heart of NBFC's integrative model.
