When considering online therapy, most of us consider if it’s really all that legitimate. Because some of the largest online therapy providers are tech firms, it’s understandable to be a bit skeptical. But, research has proven that licensed therapists can deliver equally as effective treatment online as they can face-to-face. Conversational therapy like CBT is after all just conversation, and it turns out the mode of communication isn’t all that important.   Live therapy vs online therapy in San Diego If you’re weighing up whether to use live therapy or online therapy, it’s important to be ..read more

By J.M. GARCIA Katrina Lewis-Gutierrez starts work at ten in the morning by opening a box of paper cups while standing behind the counter of the Häagen-Dazs store in Fashion Valley.

She wears a black T-shirt with a the Häagen-Dazs logo and ties her long hair in a braided ponytail. From her neat appearance, many custo ..read more

By MADISON BEVERIDGE Since 1983, Live and Let Live Alano Club (LLLAC) has made it their mission to provide a safe, sober, community-focused space for LGBTQ+ individuals in San Diego. Yet after fundraising losses during COVID-19, the club closed its doors on Park Blvd. while struggling to pay the rent to continue its life-saving work. Whether that closure is temporary or permanent is up in the air – and depends upon the success of finding a new permanent location. “We really served our community so consistently,” said former board member Richard Correale of the club’s 39-year history before its ..read more

By Kendra Sitton COVID-19’s disruption of art industries has required many organizations to collaborate anew, retool productions and find creative solutions to stay afloat. In the case of the Women’s Film Festival San Diego, the solution was to fold into the region’s premiere film festival after struggling with the switch to virtual. Now, the San Diego International Film Festival (SDIFF) returns to an in-person event with a brand new Women’s Series sponsored by the Women’s Museum of California – which previously hosted the Women’s Film Fest. This year’s combined hybrid event, includes in-perso ..read more

By J.M. Garcia Katina Harrison has noticed that when homeless people find housing they often have little to nothing to furnish their new dwelling. They move in without basic possessions such as a bed, furniture— even something as simple as soap and towels. The hollow space of their new home after years of living without shelter is almost a metaphor for the vacancies they may have experienced in their own lives. “When we picture a house,” said Harrison, a case manager at Father Joe’s Villages, “we see a home with curtains, and dishes, toothpaste and utensils. That’s not real for someone un-hous ..read more

By Will Scadden As San Diego Hunger Awareness Month came to a close, food programs noted an increase in demand while inflation is also constricting how much food they have on hand to give. Father Joe’s Villages’ Emergency Food Pantry continues to do critical work feeding hungry San Diegans— even as inflation affects both the supply and demand of donated foods. In 2021, Father Joe’s Villages distributed an average of 1,200 food boxes per month. In 2022, that figure is expected to exceed 2,000 boxes per month. The homeless services provider expects to distribute 6,000 more boxes of food than in ..read more

By Sandee Wilhoit John Keats once said that “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” That might be said of the Pierce-Morse Building, an important part of the San Diego sky-line of the late 1800s and the first part of the 20th century. The building has a long and interesting history and boasts a bevy of notable personalities who added to San Diego’s history— as well as to that of the building. They include James M. Pierce, Ephraim W. Morse, Dr. Emma Read, Cassius Carter, and E.M. Capps. Alonzo Horton originally sold two adjoining lots on the corner of F Street to George Hyde of San Francisco for ..read more

By JESSICA KEITH I can’t keep my students safe. As a lecturer at San Diego State, an employee of the university since 2010, I fear for the safety of my students and sometimes even myself. Year after year. I hold my breath reading emails from campus safety with “State-Up-To-Date” information that includes the latest crimes committed on or near by SDSU. In the Fall of 2021, I re-entered the campus, for in-person instruction, with trepidation. As a lecturer and as a mother of three young children, I feared being in a classroom of up to 100 students, exposed to thousands, with Covid running rampan ..read more
