Eli Recht

Born and raised in San Diego, CA, and currently residing in Carlsbad, CA, Eli Recht is a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT), EMDR clinician, spiritual counselor, editor, and teacher. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Emory University, graduating Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa. He also received a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Professional Clinical Counseling from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Eli is a Certified Raja Energy Healer and a practitioner of Paramahansa Yogananda's Kriya Yoga meditation techniques. In 2020, Eli experienced a falling away of ego identity and an awakening to the true nature of Reality -- a unity of being that is the source and substance of all things. This revelation uncovered the peace, love, and wisdom that abide at our core. As a result, Eli has dedicated his life to service – to help alleviate suffering, cultivate connection, guide people through the often-confusing journey of Life, and invite others to recognize our shared unconditioned essence. Since 2021, Eli has been counseling at Good Therapy San Diego, a group private practice located in Encinitas, CA. He also operates a private teaching service that focuses on facilitating Self-Realization and spiritual awakening: the experiential knowing of who and what we are. All proceeds from this teaching service go to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society. Eli’s specialty is blending contemporary psychological knowledge with timeless spiritual wisdom and advocating for the integration of these two disciplines.
