Therapists in 90505

I work with adults and teenagers who are looking to manage symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Trauma. I will be with you on the journey of healing to discovery, recovery, and connection to your true self. I also specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transition issues such as career/academic concerns and relationship stress. I approach therapy with a person-centered mindset to create as comfortable and welcoming an environment as I can. I believe the trust built between you and a therapist is one of the more powerful tools we as clinicians can offer, and I hope to garner that trust in my own practice.

We all have stress...question is: “how do you cope?” Good news: there are many tried and true evidence-based approaches to help you get better and do better…no matter what combination of troubles! After losing my son-in-law to addiction and self harm, I decided to get a masters in mental health, and learn all I could…to treat the whole person - emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It’s called integrated recovery. We are each uniquely complex and layered; so are our challenges. I wish to give you practical tools to navigate life’s challenges and to rise - learning to connect with others and embodying your best self.

Do you experience anxiety, trouble sleeping, or have difficulty trusting that things will work out? Do you tend to distract yourself with food, exercise, work, alcohol, or other people? Do you struggle with being alone with your thoughts and feelings, have difficulty setting boundaries, and find yourself in co-dependent or toxic relationships? Or perhaps you keep people at an arm’s length, put on a mask and come across as happy and having it all together to others because you’re terrified of being vulnerable? If this sounds like you, we would love to have the opportunity to work with you to change these self-destructive patterns.

First, you probably need to know this right now... that you were created to be loved! Next, in therapy, real growth and change is influenced significantly by what you feel and think about your therapist. You need to feel safe, understood, validated, cared for, and able to trust the competency and selflessness of your therapist. Please feel free to come for a free introductory meeting with me. With deep care, compassion, understanding, and respect, I help you transition from surviving to thriving in relationships and life. I specialize in broken relationships or those struggling with past trauma or abuse.

You've probably found this page because you feel "stuck" in life. Maybe you're a parent who is challenged by their child's unique behavioral, emotional or academic needs and want help navigating them. Perhaps you're entering a life transition, such as entering or exiting a romantic relationship, going to college, or getting a new job and want emotional support and validation. My goal is to help individuals, families and couples find insight into their challenges, cope through distressful situations, and, in effect, become their own therapist.

Has your child been acting out, uncommunicative, or withdrawn lately? Has their emotional well-being been affected by changes in their life? You are not alone. I have a deep passion for helping children find their voice, rather than acting out or withdrawing. For over 30 years I have worked with children of all ages as well as families and adults. As a therapist, I find it most rewarding when I help my clients breakthrough and grow from their trauma. I specialize in child therapy along with anxiety, depression, ADHD in all ages. Together we can achieve your goals at The Effective Therapy Group.

Feeling stuck? Do you feel as if you have lost control over your life? Have you found it hard getting in touch with your authentic self? There is a tremendous power that lives within you, and I would like to help you find that. You can learn to master your vision through the power of your mind. Feel your best, be your best, and live your best life now. <!-- Professional verification provided by Psychology Today --> <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/359747" class="sx-verified-se

Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.

Making the decision to seek therapy/counseling is often a difficult one. I offer a safe environment in which to explore different aspects of your struggle and the best way to assist you in deciding how you'd like to move forward. I work with adolescents and adults individually and with families and couples (marital therapy) who are struggling in many different areas.

I provide a supportive and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe it is important to teach clients strategies to use throughout their life, so that when they leave therapy, clients feel more confident to cope with future difficulties in a positive way. Learning skills along with self exploration can lead to progress in a shorter amount of time. Clients of all ages can benefit from this approach.

Are you burned out? Are you taking care of everyone but yourself? When you're called to step into leadership, into service, or to help people, it's so easy to sacrifice your own well-being for those you serve. And it's just not sustainable. You must take care of yourself if you want to keep moving forward. I know - it's hard. Your work is so important. You can't back down. There's no time to rest. How can you justify investing in yourself when people need you?

Therapy is no doubt a journey. It can be hard and sometimes scary to trust someone to assist in a vulnerable and sensitive portion of your life and to navigate through the process of change. I work with each client and their families to help them overcome each obstacle and hurdle to help reach their ideal life worth living. My sincerest hope is that any who reach out to me will feel supported and welcomed.

Do you get stuck in repetitive arguments with your partner, even when you are talking about something seemingly small? You try your best to reach for your partner, but you both end up feeling so disconnected. You know you two fell in love, but some days you just don’t feel like your partner understands you. These moments of disconnection leave you feeling misunderstood, hurt, frustrated, and alone. You aren't sure about how to connect more with your partner. You want things to be different, but you don't know how to get there. You feel at a loss. You want badly to stop having the same fights and to work on healing, truly healing.

What would your life and relationships look like if you were functioning as the healed version of yourself? Our relationships can only be as healthy as we are! Gain control over difficult emotions, move beyond the pain of the past, and learn to navigate around life’s distractions and demands so that you can show up with others as your best, most healthy version of yourself. Explore healthy conflict styles and deepen your connections in the relationships that matter to you the most.

In my practice I tend to work with clients, ages 4 - 85+, dealing with anything from anxiety, depression, trauma, career, social issues, and other things causing turbulence in their life. Also, I work with individuals, couples, and families on how they can best function in the world. Depending on the client's needs I work with them to create a customized treatment plan best for their needs. I am also a collaborative therapist that wants the client to have an active voice in their journey. Therapy is different for each individual and I value helping the client pursue the change they are seeking.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with adults, primarily women who are facing life transitions and who like to focus on overall health, wellness and positive psychology. I also work with clients who have anxiety and/or depression and need help build coping skills. In addition, I enjoy working with young adults who are facing life transitions, such as building a career, strengthening one's identity, and preparing the foundation for being in long-term relationships. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief and trauma.

Many people hit a point in their lives where they doubt in their capacity to heal or even deal with life’s circumstances. Maybe you're someone who has anxiously tried to make it work on your own until you’ve found yourself stuck in patterns and convoluted stories that no longer work for you. The process of sifting through what's true or false can feel isolating and lonely when navigating that on your own. But I want to offer the idea that maybe you were never meant to be alone in that process.

For many, coming to therapy can seem like a leap of faith. Psychotherapy asks you to trust a process, and someone, new and unknown to you and to set aside time for yourself in your busy life. I hope you will find our website helpful and informative as you consider beginning the process. Diagnostic specialization can be previewed at our website: www.PoachConsulting.com
