Chronic Pain Therapists in 90065

Right now you may be in need and suffering? The body has a deep intelligence and sometimes our attention is required to feel well again. Take a moment to notice that you're breathing. When you're ready take two or three long deep breaths. You have more control than you think.

Most people need help at various times in their lives navigating difficult experiences. My approach is collaborative, action-oriented and positive with individuals and couples. When relevant, I incorporate somatic (body) approaches, including EMDR and Brainspotting modalities to working with anxiety, phobias, trauma and other issues. My practice also includes the option of "walking and talking" outdoors. I am influenced by IFS / IFIO (parts work), self-compassion, feminist, and polyvagal approaches. I help clients connect more deeply with the past and address barriers to well-being in the present.

When life situations feel complex, heavy, or confusing it is helpful to reach out for an assist.

I know that life can be hard and suffering is part of the human experience. I also know that we are all doing the best we can with the resources and experiences we are given and sometimes we need a little help and guidance to get "unstuck". This can feel very overwhelming and my goal as a therapist is to support you through that process. I will work hard to provide a safe and validating space for you and I also promise to challenge you to reach your goals in therapy. I will be there for you with my full, unbiased attention to support you in your journey to find healing through positive, long lasting change.

Meeting with a therapist whether for the first time or not can be a daunting experience. Will they understand you? Will you feel like you've made progress at the end of the hour? Will you vibe together? Meeting the right therapist is just as important as having clear goals and tools on your mental health journey. In the therapy space, I see myself as a collaborator and guide in helping people navigate through their current life challenges all within the context of multiple layers of stress, oppression, and trauma. My clients are looking for the tools for personal liberation and strategies to set boundaries and make life changes.

In a society with high standards, caregiving challenges, and demanding work environments, it is easy to forget about our own well-being. It can even appear more convenient to put our mental health on the back-burner, but if we disregard self-care it can lead to a burnout. Burnout can lead to mental exhaustion, cynicism, detachment, and depression. Furthermore, when we are burnt out, the light we shine on and for others is diminished. I can assist and support you in working through hardships that may cause you frustration, have you in a burnout state, and/or make it difficult for you to manage daily tasks.

As a therapist, I will act as your guide as you work to develop healthy relationships, create meaningful work, explore your relationship with society, and evolve on your spiritual path. Together, we will choose from a variety of therapeutic approaches (including imagery, dreamwork, and regression) to journey through your past life and future visions. The adventure of coming to know your authentic self will allow you to create the meaningful changes in your life that you are seeking.

The concept of "self-improvement" can be empowering, but also intimidating. In a problem-saturated world, it can be easy to define ourselves as our problems, instead of looking at them as operating forces that can then be explored.   

I thrive in my work with creative, compassionate adults who are experiencing anxiety, burnout, or relationship stress. We may be a fit to work together if you are looking for a safer space to examine feelings of dissatisfaction or disconnect, and are curious about how to foster a greater sense of self-esteem and worthiness. I particularly enjoy working with self-described high achievers, and women in historically male-dominated industries. If you're ready to navigate your life more comfortably, gain confidence in communicating your needs, and build skills to better cope with your feelings - I look forward to supporting you in that.

I'm Frank Russell, California state licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT 5698). I work with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in assisting people to achieve their own goals. These goals often include changing their behavior and their emotional responses to stressors. My training and experience have emphasized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also have extensive experience with substance abuse treatment and motivational interviewing.

Do you find yourself struggling with being triggered in your daily life and having a hard time managing the triggers? Whether at home, at work or in your personal relationships? Do you sometimes experience fatigue, feelings of helplessness and find it hard to get through the day. Are you struggling with letting go of baggage from the past (ie: negative experiences growing up, at work, in your relationships, losses, etc.) and are in need of some healing and support.

We all have experienced times of overwhelm, sadness, and worry, or simply just finding ourselves at a crossroad. These situations can leave us feeling uncertain about how to move forward successfully in our lives. Psychotherapy can help you discover your innate strengths and resources to cope with while also facilitating the process of growth.

As a therapist, I see myself guiding people on their life path by overcoming such obstacles as depression, anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, and helping them to experience instead the beauty and warmth of their inner rainbow, of claiming joy as their birthright. I love working especially with women at a major transition in their lives: whether from young adulthood to womanhood, from motherhood to 'empty nest' and, ultimately, menopause; women in quest for healthy relationships and a greater meaning in their lives. Spiritual growth, creativity, finding one's purpose - are important issues for everybody to be able to live life to its fullest. I weave my work with a variety of therapeutic approaches including Holistic Healing, Dreamwork and Art Therapy. I'll be happy to discuss any needs you might have to see which modality - group or/and individual therapy - would be the best for you.

"With almost 20 years clinical experience, I specialize in providing treatment tailored for individuals and couples who recognize that there is something interfering with their ability to function or enjoy their daily life. Utilizing a variety of techniques, I help my patients identify their immediate needs and their long-term goals. I work with both the first-time therapy patient as well as with those that have experience in the therapeutic process. I believe that we desire purpose and connection. I assist in exploring life's choices to improve clarity, relationships and an overall state of well-being."

The ultimate goal of therapy is to heal and experience personal growth while being supported throughout the process. I provide a nurturing supportive environment and allow you the opportunity to explore the challenging issues you face in your daily life.

Very early on in my youth, I found that all I wanted to do in this life was help others. Now, as a psychotherapist, nothing brings me more joy than helping clients find healing and feel more at peace in their minds, bodies, relationships, and life circumstances.

Helen Keller said, "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
