Do you need support to remove barriers and work through obstacles? Do you want to accomplish goals and live in your purpose? Do you feel highly accomplished and just need a little help in maintaining your life balance and successes? Everyday, in every way we have the ability to get better and better, and I would be honored to support you in your journey. I have a passion and purpose to be of meaningful service to others. I combine my education, professional and real world experience to provide gentle, honest, and insightful care within a compassionate, client centered, spiritual approach.

I am a patient, attentive human, fueled by deep curiosity and compassion ready to walk with you through whatever stage of life you are in. Through my own personal work in depth therapy, years of education, and formidable life experiences, I have learned that we are all on our own unique journey towards tending to parts of ourselves that have been mistreated or left behind due to hurtful past experiences. As a human and a provider, I have a strong passion for healing. I believe in the power of restorative relationships, that everyone possesses the ability to rewrite unhelpful life narratives, and the strength to transform their life.

If you are suffering— you are not alone. And you deserve to be held until you can hold yourself. I will provide a safe space to be heard and explore your depths during life's challenging moments. I believe by slowing down to explore our symptoms and difficulties in the therapeutic container we can change our relationship to these challenges, to ourselves, and others. I have a particular interest in supporting people suffering during life transitions (career changes, moves, marriage) as well as relationship anxiety.

Welcome. My name is Teddy Seeds, and I am a licensed therapist with a passion for helping adults, adolescents, and couples improve their lives. To that end, I employ elements of humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies.

Individual Somatic Psychotherapy: While I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work as a somatic psychotherapist, I tend to focus on present-moment states of being. This means that I pay close attention to what’s happening in the room, in your body, and between you and me, during our sessions. You may be curious and yet hesitant; hopeful and yet afraid. I help you embody the resilience you need to become the person you’ve always wanted to be.

Sometime you get to a point where you feel really stuck, and unable to figure out how to make a change or how to feel better. Whether its persistent anxiety, sadness, or something else, it can help to figure out what the root of the struggle is about. I like to focus on childhood attachments, passed down generational traumas, and experiences in your life that has laid down patterns that are hard to break out of. Sometimes we need to understand the why, then it's easier to figure out a way through. But you don't have to do that alone, and honestly we weren't made to handle our problems in isolation. Everyone needs support.

There are times that life can feel overwhelming whether due to trauma, stress, anxiety, depression or life transitions. I would like to join you on your journey toward wholeness and well-being as you navigate through life's trying times. I utilize an integrative holistic approach, allowing for unique and unlimited growth and potential. In my collaborative approach my goal in the therapeutic relationship is for each client to feel heard, respected and understood. I customize each client's needs and treatment using a variety of tools including psycho-education, mindfulness, meditation, body awareness and art.

Are you struggling with life's curve balls, which are negatively impacting your moods, motivation, stress level, which then affect your relationships, work, school, dreams and goals? As I join you on your therapeutic journey, I will help you navigate life's curve balls and challenging times through "connecting your life dots" (past, present and future) and by learning healthy coping skills and strategies to apply. My biggest goal for you will be to guide you on how to build your "solid sense of self," so you can live a life that is authenic and emotionally fulfilling.

Hi, I’m Dr. Irma. I am a bilingual, Spanish/English, licensed clinical psychologist with more than 17 years of experience in the mental health field. Since 2006, I have been an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology. ​I specialize in the psychological treatment of the total person: mind, body and spirit; in children, adolescents, adults and families struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, inner conflict, stress and LGBTQ+ issues. I offer a personable approach to therapy in a supportive and nonjudgmental client-centered environment.

Do you have trouble managing your anger? Have you been told by loved ones, coworkers, or friends that you have trouble managing your anger? Are you looking for someone who hears you with an impartial ear? I specialize in helping clients manage anger, adapting to a life of responding rather than reacting. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients adapt successful coping strategies. I also work with clients who have a history of childhood trauma, and as well provide couples counseling and see many clients who are struggling with depression and anxiety.

It’s hard to tune out those inner critics that leave us feeling not good enough, alone, and hopeless. Sometimes we have difficult thoughts and experiences we have never shared with anyone that also leave us feeling nervous, disconnected and depleted. What if you could take all that negativity and use it to fuel creativity? A kind of creativity that offers healing and liberation from the hurt- one that allows movement when we are stuck. In therapy with me you will express yourself with more than just talk. My approach is empathic, gender affirming, culturally humble, LGBTQIA+ celebrating, radically accepting, and direct.

Our experiences can create a template for who we believe we are and who we believe we can or should become. Together let’s mix up that template. These experiences come in all forms, shades, shapes, and sizes. I believe therapy and therapeutic approaches should be no different. You are uniquely you and the expert on your life, and I am here to help support and provide you with a safe, thoughtful, and kind environment. A space where you can identify your needs, discover your voice, and begin making the changes that matter to you.

I provide assistance to individuals, couples, and families confronting various challenges such as anxiety, depression, couples conflict, family trauma, and more. Though the journey may seem daunting, embracing this process of healing will lead you to discover your true self and experience newfound freedom. Remember, you are not alone—I am here to offer support, equip you with valuable skills, and present fresh perspectives to empower you to become who you aspire to be.

You have been living through a stressful and exhausting time. A global pandemic is constantly changing your relationships and the way you live your life. You have also been exposed to an unprecedented amount of collective trauma both within your communities, and on a larger global scale. You're finding it harder to get a good night's rest, and you struggle to find meaning in a world that seems overwhelmingly painful to exist in. You want things to be different, but you don't know how.

Wellness matters in obtaining a higher quality of life. Daily stressors and emotions impact our well-being and ability to grow. By using the mindful approach, we can process the emotions and traumas that are stuck in the body through aches, anxiety, depression, flashbacks, and triggers. We can work on increasing intimacy, respect, and affection in a relationship. I am a bilingual speaking (Croatian/English) marriage and family therapist and I work with individuals, couples, youths, adults, and families of all ethnic backgrounds, religions, and sexual orientations.

Do you ever get the feeling of wanting to go home, only to realize you're already there? Or live with a persistent weight on your chest and a dark cloud shadowing your every move? This isn't the life you want, but maybe you're unsure where to start or whom to turn to. I'm glad you're here taking that first step! Imagine greeting each day with enthusiasm and peace instead of hopelessness and dread; let's make that your reality.

Part of being human means creating balance as you navigate the curveballs of life. Therapy with me means we meet you where you are and you are at the helm of your healing journey. I believe you are your own healer and already possess the wisdom you need to make the best decision for you. Sometimes that looks like slowing down and taking a pause to look backwards in order to move forward. Other times it looks like learning to make space around your anxious thoughts and feelings to actively practice control over them instead of letting them control you.

Sometimes, life holds nothing back. We’re totally overwhelmed. It’s all too much. Too much busy-ness, too much hurry, and too much stress. While you’re a master of taking care of everything and everyone around you, taking care of YOU is often forgotten. And your regular pattern of “go, go, go…” leads to anxiety, burnout, or trauma. And so, you’re just…exhausted. You know something has to change. You know life has more to offer. But you’re not sure where to start.

You might be looking for support to manage a challenge that has come your way. This is a wise and life affirming choice. I find that obstacles arise as a way of offering an invitation to develop as human beings. It definitely doesn’t look and feel that way at first, but, as we look back on experiences, we know this is so. Meeting that invitation head on by having the neutral and clear guidance of a trained third party can make all the difference.
