"I am an empathic, insightful and down-to-earth therapist experienced in assisting and supporting individuals and couples experiencing problems associated with Mood, Anxiety, Relationships, Life Changes and Substance Abuse. I offer a holistic approach to psychotherapy; assisting my clients' in reducing symptoms related to their problems, prevention of more serious problems, and resolution of conflicts. I elicit my clients' strengths and foster an environment of growth and awareness."

"Do you find yourself alone and find it difficult to establish and maintain healthy relationships with others? I can help you understand how unwanted and worried thoughts affect the way you feel and the way you behave. I can help you develop skills that will help you worry less and keep your mind at peace. I can help you find balance between thinking and feeling that will help decrease self-doubt and boost self-confidence and self-esteem. I can help you find ways to decrease your fear of being alone and help you develop social skills that will help build healthy relationships with others."

"My therapeutic approach is designed to motivate deep change, from self-awareness and discovery into action. I believe that anxiety tolerance along with a firm yet compassionate relationship to oneself is the key to living a balanced, enriched, and stable life. My main goal as a therapist is to help clients develop a solid sense of self, which will ideally enable them to connect intimately and openly with others from a place of authenticity, confidence, and self-respect."

"My approach is gentle yet direct; emphasizing authenticity, empathy and humor (when appropriate) within a safe and relaxed environment . I incorporate the principles of mindfulness and self-compassion in confronting issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and patterns of negative thinking. I believe that you enter therapy already equipped for personal transformation. My role is to nurture the emergence of your highest self, and provide support as you begin to trust your innate ability to heal old wounds and discover deep fulfillment. We will work towards embracing imperfection as part of the human experience, and acceptance as the antidote to suffering."

"Life is filled with so many challenges, We all feel overwhelmed sometimes. I provide a safe space and non-judgmental presence in a comfortable atmosphere where you can be seen, heard and supported on your path to emotional wellness. We will work together to form a therapeutic alliance, and collaborate on creating a treatment plan tailored to your personal goals. This structure will facilitate insight and healing. I look forward to providing this service to you, your child, or teenager. I help individuals, couples and families deal with anxiety, depression, substance use, and many other important life issues."

"You're not crazy. You're not a burden. You're not weak. You're just human. And as such, we're constantly changing and evolving. Life is full of endless transitions, whether that be a departure from a relationship, coping with the death of a loved one, changing career paths, or just learning how to better communicate with those around us. No matter what you might want to work on, therapy gives you the space to not only focus on yourself, but to feel supported in whatever stage of life you find yourself navigating."

"Therapy helps us properly take care of ourselves, but it isn't the same thing for everyone. It should be adaptable to our situations. It can be brief and solution-focused - or it can also be more lengthy to tackle various long-standing issues. You will find both in my office. I provide clients a warm and welcoming space to grow, heal, and explore. I invite you to please visit my website for additional information about my background, what you can expect as a client, and testimonials."

"I am primarily a child and adolescent clinical psychologist (toddlers 18 months old to emerging adults, approximately 22 years old). I also conduct couples therapy around issues related to the impact of parenting a child with special needs. Most families come to me for either an evaluation of their child, or therapy for their child. Individuals age 18-22 tend to seek therapy for themselves."

"I welcome parents coping with pressures on and in the family; straight women wondering where the "good men" are; gay, lesbian, bi and trans people striving to make good lives in a phobic world; artists nurturing their own voice in or out of the mainstream; ; intercultural couples confronting identity and equality issues; corporate executives wanting more meaningful jobs; people working for racial, social, environmental justice; people of all persuasions looking for lasting intimate relationships."

"I work with young adults, adults, the elderly, couples and families and practice a direct, compassion focused approach to psychotherapy. As a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I focus on reconnecting clients to a sense of mental and emotional balance through the combined approach of CBT, Mindfulness-based practices, Depth Psychology, and Narrative therapy. I aim to support your unique strengths and heart center by increasing tolerance to life's inherent barriers that hinder a sense of wholeness. "Wholeness is not so much perfection as completeness." -C.G. Jung."

"I work with individuals, couples and groups on a wide range of interpersonal and relational issues including depression, anxiety, intimacy-sex-dating, couples counseling, recovery from substance abuse and addiction, LGBTQ issues and life transitions. Having previously worked in the Entertainment Industry, I also have a keen understanding of its particular demands. My primary goal is to create a trusting environment where you can safely discuss your feelings, identify issues and adjust behaviors that no longer work for you."

"I am a thoughtful and compassionate psychotherapist and clinical social worker with more than 30 years of experience practicing in San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles. I work primarily from a psychodynamic and interpersonal perspective as research supports my experience that therapy is more successful as a creative partnership, and a collaborative insight-oriented process leads to deeper and lasting growth and change. I have helped many clients to recover from the impacts of trauma and loss, and to reduce the accompanying symptoms of anxiety, depression, and addiction. This process can be challenging, but also leads to renewed life purpose, connection, and empowerment."

"I'm a psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and families in the LA area and Sandpoint, Idaho. I have 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."

"As a licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice, I have treated a variety of disorders and issues ranging from anxiety and depression to relationship problems, career transitions, low self-esteem, adjustment disorders, parenting issues, and grief."

"I believe therapy is a collaborative process rooted in connection, compassion, understanding and insight. I provide my patients with a structured and supportive space in which they can begin to explore past experiences and make connections to current ways of being. Our work together is about building the perspective needed to observe, rethink, and break out of problematic patterns. Because I truly believe therapy is a powerful path toward deeper understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us, I am dedicated to helping others work toward the increased self-awareness and control that comes from self-exploration."

"Looking for a therapist and showing up for your first appointment is scary! Making that initial call takes a lot of courage, but ultimately it will be the best gift you can give yourself. I work with a wide range of issues, from depression, anxiety, self-esteem or relationship problems to "stuck in a rut." My goal is to help you reach your goal."

"You may've wondered why you couldn't just be happier, more confident, or less anxious. Perhaps you find yourself heartbroken or sense that your relationship is in trouble. You may feel stuck in a career or project with little motivation to move forward. Maybe you're struggling to handle painful emotions or a traumatic past. If left unaddressed, these difficulties may lead to depression, anxiety, or a host of relationship issues that can stop you from creating the life you want."

"My clinical and research experience is largely based on mindfulness as a framework for psychotherapy. I have extensive experience working with anxiety and depression in adults, specifically pregnant and postpartum women, those suffering from chronic illness or pain, relationship and identity conflict, and those individuals overwhelmed with emotion or distant from their experience. My practice is goal oriented. I work intensely with clients to make changes in their personal lives. Changes that they and others close to them and can easily observe and acknowledge."

"Therapy is an opportunity, one that can serve to improve the circumstances and relationships you are in. This includes, perhaps most importantly, the one with your self. We all struggle with painful experiences, emotions, and memories. At times, we return to balance independently. During others, we need support. With therapy, I believe in building a collaborative relationship for growth, self compassion, relief from distress, learning/refining new coping strategies, opening to alternate perspectives, all the while building meaning, joy, and hope for the future. Emphasizing your strengths, together we will design creative solutions, empowering you towards a more satisfying life."

"I work with a variety of individuals in private practice in a collaborative and creative manner to find new language and meaning in context to clients' lives. In an always respectful, compassionate and often times lighthearted manner, I aim to find strengths and supports to weave new narratives."
