Behavioral Issues Therapists in 90039

Welcome! I provide counseling to children, teens, and parents from diverse backgrounds. My clinical training has been primarily working with children/teens who are experiencing difficulty managing their emotions, resulting in loss of temper, dysregulation, or withdrawing from others. I am certified in several evidenced-based therapies that address anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, and parenting concerns. I use play, art, bibliotherapy, storytelling, and CBT to address a variety of needs.

If you're worried about your teen, I am ready to help. Having spent years working with young adults and adolescents who are struggling, I am skilled in providing support in a caring, non-judgmental way. Together I work with clients to lay down the groundwork of self-compassion to build healthier thinking, behaviors, and relationships. Over time, my teen clients have more insight and skills to use in their daily lives. My experiences working in residential substance abuse and eating disorder facilities have helped me connect with teens and develop an arsenal of skills to assist even the most withdrawn adolescent.

Life is about feeling connected, sharing in the joys and sorrows, and striving for something better, a better you. Therapy is a place where you can share and explore the challenges and achievements that make each of us an individual. I believe that forming a safe, non-judgmental relationship is fundamental to therapy and what guides the healing process. We work together in order to gain insight and learn healthy coping skills in managing challenges faced and the feelings associated with them. I believe that the most difficult job is working on ourselves but it is also the most rewarding.

A client once told me, "If you have someone to whom you are willing to confess the foolish things you do, then count yourself among the blessed." Life can be hard, let's talk it out together. I understand that choosing a therapist is a difficult decision. Being a good match to your specific needs is important to me. My goal is to make the process as comfortable, safe, and simple as possible. Therapy is a collaborative process and I want to be on your team.

At various stages in our life we may face new situations, traumas or feelings of sadness, anxiety or stress. It is during these times it can be beneficial to take a step towards helping ourselves, and by being here you are doing just that. I have a Family Systems approach, however I will use all evidenced based practices best suited for my clients.

I very much feel therapy is about my clients journey and I like to help assist their heeling in the most prudent fashion.

If you're ready for change in your life, welcome! I counsel individuals and couples with diverse backgrounds.

I can help you with anxiety, depression, any relational challenges (monogamy, ENM, platonic, familial), trauma, stress management, career challenges, insecurity, adjusting to parenthood, compulsive behavior, transitions, and loss. Please reach out for a complimentary consultation.

I believe in a therapeutic partnership which allows for the client to guide treatment. I am trained in and employ several long-term clinical models as well as short-term evidence based practices which offer a variety of opportunities for clients to address all of their needs. My work is grounded in anti-racist and anti-oppressive trauma responsive practices which helps us get to the root of the individual's challenges and symptoms. My approach is supportive, encouraging, and thoughtful as I firmly believe this work is most effective when the individual feels empowered and centered.

I specialize in treating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and behavioral problems. When overwhelming experiences leave their mark, it can be hard to know where to turn for help. Memories, fears, distress, and anger take over and damage our relationships. Parenting becomes fraught with tension. Children lose control, resulting in tantrums and behavior problems. By understanding the root of your distress, I can help you or your family find new ways to cope.

Welcome! We all face challenges in life, whether it’s in our family systems, workplace, relationships or in processing past traumas. It is my desire and passion to provide a therapeutic space filled with compassion, wholeheartedness, and warmth to help individuals navigate through life’s challenging moments. I work with clients to gain a better understanding of what makes them feel whole- mentally, physically, and spiritually.

I am a clinical social worker providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. My areas of specialty and interest are LGBTQ-identified people, kids and teens, and people struggling with eating disorders. I value critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and humor within the therapeutic relationship. I treat my clients with respect and acknowledge that they are the authorities of their own lives. I make an effort to emphasize strengths without invalidating very real feelings or minimizing problems. I collaborate with my clients to develop effective and individualized treatment plans to empower them to make changes in their own lives.

I'm a psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and families in the LA area and Sandpoint, Idaho. 25 years experience in one location and challenge the problems facing our complex and diverse society today. I believe in the Unity of Life. From the earliest single cell forms of life, to the complex human organism, there is a basic energetic function that unites: Pain & Pleasure, Thinking & Emotion, Mind & Body, Man & Women, Family & Society. When this unitary function is disrupted and blocked, healthy life suffers. Conflict and stress from this unitary disruption often results in irrationality, unhappiness and/or disease.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. My goal is listen deeply to clients -- in order to fully hear the nature of their problems and skillfully mine for the underlying components of the personality that might be inhibiting growth, recovery and freedom. Whether you are suffering with conflict in your personal relationships, compulsive or addictive behaviors, mood disturbances, indecision, or the everyday crises of meaning we all sometimes face, I will apply my professional skills to organize and construct a treatment plan. In an atmosphere of trust and warmth a collaboration can commence. Call me today to begin...

My style of therapy is one that is both collaborative and supportive. I believe that all individuals have the capacity to make lasting changes in their lives. I help the individual tap into those abilities by challenging the conscious and unconscious barriers that can impede growth and change. Using psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral techniques, I provide a safe, nurturing environment where individuals can explore their challenges and unearth their full potential.

As a therapist, it is my sole intention to assist you in nurturing your own unique insight. When I'm in conversation with my clients, we work together to name and understand the issues that trouble them. I assist them in confronting the barriers to a more enjoyable life, and together we discover what needs to change, or what can be more peacefully accepted. I am primarily a "talk" therapist. My clients have described me as "down to earth" and "personable." I also use Cognitive Behavioral techniques in order to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

Trauma Work: It can be incredibly frustrating and shame inducing when you find yourself repeating the same negative relationship patterns, behavioral and emotional responses, and maladaptive thought processes. My approach to trauma work is both holistic and central nervous system oriented; focusing on the brain, body, and behavior to see how your body’s trauma stress response is keeping you stuck in old narratives and patterns. I am trained in EMDR which is perfect for clients who do not want to rehash the details of trauma or who feel that they have not had success with traditional talk therapy.

Finding a therapist you feel "gets it" and that you feel safe to share your deepest vulnerabilities with is incredibly important. As an LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming therapist, I strive to provide an inclusive, warm, and non judgmental space where I will work with you to help you process your feelings, heal from trauma, shift unhelpful patterns, develop meaningful relationships, and explore your authentic self. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you’ll reach out to see how I can help.
