Charlene LaskyI have a colleague who runs big brand campaigns and events. While she seemed very confident on the outside, she’s actually easily anxious and often second-guesses her decisions.
So before any major launches, she usually consults psychics referred to her. But before one festival rollout, she booked multiple readings with someone who mostly gave her vague advice. That did nothing much to soothe her.
Though I’m a skeptic, I wanted her to have the support she needs. That’s why I encouraged her to be open-minded yet cautious. Then, I helped her find the best psychics in San Diego with good feedback and diverse reading styles.
How much do psychics charge in San Diego?
Psychics in San Diego typically charge between $25 and $200 per session. However, the final cost depends on the experience and reputation, session duration, reading format, and venue or event type.
1. Psychic Readings by Sylvia
Address: 2027 India St
Contact Details: +1 619 563 4833
Business Hours:
- Fri-Wed: 9:00 am to 9:00 pm
- Thu: Closed
Psychic Readings by Sylvia is known for her spot-on palm and tarot readings in San Diego’s Little Italy.
Sylvia stands out for having over 50 years of experience and offering affordable in-person sessions. Her values focus on spiritual guidance for health, wealth, love, and happiness.
She mainly does palm readings to provide future glimpses, as well as tarot or angel card readings to cover past, present, and future.
But if you need something more specific, she can also offer past life regression (a therapeutic technique involving hypnosis) and specialized love and relationship sessions.
We also find it convenient that you can either set an appointment or just walk in on most days within their schedule.
She charges a budget-friendly to mid-range price too. Palm readings cost $25 to $45, tarot readings are from $50 to $85, and longer readings can go over $100.
Just one thing, though. A client told us that this psychic has a tendency to upsell. She occasionally suggests extra or more expensive spiritual cleansing or blockage removal services after the initial reading.
To avoid this uncomfortable situation, we advise being firm with your preferences and communicating them well from the start.

2. Spiritual Awakenings
Address: 4202 El Cajon Blvd
Contact Details: +1 619 389 4225
Business Hours: Daily: 10:00 am to 7:00 pm
Spiritual Awakenings is a psychic and tarot reading provider backed by the practitioner, Sofie, with 40 years of experience.
As someone who’s been in the psychic scene since the 1980s, she’s noted for her straightforward advice on love, career, and health. A few individuals we talked to praised how honest she is, as she doesn’t sugarcoat her insights.
We like many of her other offerings as well. You can get soulmate readings, angel prayer and healing, karma cleansing, and more.
Clients can experience the sessions in-person or on the phone as well, and Sofie gives flexible time blocks for that. This shows us her accessibility for busier clients who want a quick check-in or a more affordable option.
Her 15-minute calls can cost around $40 to $45, while standard 30-minute sessions cost around $85. Just remember that her premium rituals vary in price, but they can go much higher.
And as you know, her style isn’t for everyone. We feel that some might find her tone transactional, unwarm, or even rushed.
Left extremely satisfied with more clarity on current life situations
“I’m very impressed with her reading! I always throw in some test questions to make sure whoever I’m getting a reading from is legit and she passed the test. Left feeling extremely satisfied with more clarity on current life situations. I recommend her 100% she’s the real deal. I will be returning 😊 …”

SoCal Medium delivers spirit mediumship and psychic readings in Mission Valley. Founder and primary practitioner Kelly White provides certified messages from loved ones for healing and proof of the afterlife.
Kelly started professionally around 2016 after lifelong spirit senses and beach visions from 2008. Since then, she’s been skilled in evidential mediumship with details only loved ones know.
This includes providing names, dates, or specific memories. Unlike standard psychics, she doesn’t use tools and claims direct spirit communication.
We also find it incredible that she’s among the few local mediums with “celebrity-level” training. She was certified by James Van Praagh (a globally recognized American spiritual medium) and has ongoing training at Arthur Findlay College in the UK.
But as she’s had specialized training and is in high demand, she’s also one of the most expensive psychics in San Diego.
Her 30-minute sessions cost around $150 to $175, while her 60-minute sessions go from $250 to $300. Still, you can save more if you’re with a small group (2 to 3), for $450 and above.
But of course, her sessions are naturally heavily focused on the deceased. If you want practical advice on other matters, she’s likely not your best option.
I was blown away by how spot on she was
“I had the privilege of speaking with Kelly last week. I can honestly say the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment the session began, I was blown away by how spot on she was with every single detail that she shared with me. I can’t wait for my next call with her.”
-Amanda McPhail, Google Review
Gave me the answers and reassurance I’ve needed for some time
“Kelly was amazing and even though I choose when to connect with her, I feel she came to me when I needed it. She gave me the answers and reassurance I have needed for some time. I am hoping to book another session soon! I could not have had a better experience.”

Business Hours: Daily: 9:00 am to 9:00 pm
Psychic Raman offers Vedic astrology and palm readings in San Diego. Raman Ji focuses on practical fixes for love, career, and energy blocks with over 25 years of experience.
He has tackled real issues like black magic removal and vashikaran (an ancient practice for influencing situations or people) that other psychics don’t offer.
But his unique skill in Vedic astrology, which uses the sidereal zodiac rather than the tropical one used by most.
He also provides horoscopes, spiritual healing, and palmistry, restoring peace through highly personalized solutions. You can even go to him for marriage and family guidance.
When it comes to his rates, his pricing model differs from Western practitioners’ per-minute or per-session fees—he often quotes based on the remedy required.
Horoscope readings go from $50 to $100, palmistry sessions cost $40 to $75, and spiritual cleanings range from $200 to over $1,000.
Compared to rivals, his initial readings seem affordable. However, we feel his first reading is often a gateway to more expensive spiritual rituals.
And because his advice is rooted in traditional Indian spiritualism, some could be unfamiliar with Vedic concepts. Without prior research, we reckon one might find them confusing or difficult to implement.
I felt clearer and more emotionally balanced
“Going through personal confusion made me seek guidance from Raman. He treated my concerns seriously and spoke with understanding. The conversation felt comforting, and afterward I felt clearer and more emotionally balanced..”

He was immediately welcoming and put my nerves to rest
“A friend recommended him after I mentioned feeling generally off-track. I was hesitant. He was immediately welcoming and put my nerves to rest. He spoke about aligning my actions with my true nature. His insightful questions were more helpful than any answers he gave.”

B Intuitive runs a metaphysical store and healing center. They focus on Draleon Philosophy healings, which are about the energetic anatomy of the human body.
Founded in 2020 by Master Healer Don Arturo Gaitan, they use non-invasive energetic work. We appreciate that, unlike traditional psychics who tell your fortune, he aims to clear the energy so you can create your own future.
More specifically, he’s best in quick limpias (spiritual cleansing rituals from Mexican Curanderismo traditions) and karmic disconnects. You can also visit for regressions, chakra balancing, Reiki, and several other services.
Another great feature for us is that you can get an aura scan or energy work in a 20 to 60-minute session in person, Zoom, or phone—highly accessible for all.
The psychic even uses Aura Video Station technology for the scans, producing a visual, data-driven report of your energy centers.
Yet again, they charge quite a premium due to their being more therapeutic and ritual-heavy than others. Their aura scan or reading goes from $45 to $75, and their Draleon or energy work is within $150 to $250 per hour.
After my session, I feel light and thankful
“such an amazing energy walking into the store & being greeted. after my session i feel light & im so thankful for it ♥️ highly recommend”

The reading inspired me, and I left with a renewed sense of purpose
“I had a reading with Arturo. It was life changing for me. He definitely perceived the issues that I am struggling with and some of the history leading up to them. He was kind, compassionate and so very insightful. The reading gave me inspiration and I left feeling a renewed sense of purpose. And he gave me HOMEWORK (LOL) so that I could continue on a positive path. The reading was truly a blessing.”
