My approach to therapy is rooted in the power of healing-in-relationship and the engagement of our whole selves in that process. For those interested, my background as a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist allows for utilizing the body, art, and play as a few of the key instruments in the healing journey, alongside traditional talk therapy practices. My theoretical orientation is also integrative of psychodynamic theories, existential theory, mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, and internal family systems.

Dr. Gail Billings-Beck is glad to work with individuals facing transitions in life. She also enjoys work with couples, both gay and straight. Her theoretical background is based on the work of Alfred Adler, and her approach is individualized to the needs presented by each client. She specializes in self-esteem, anxiety and depression, anger management, addiction, aging and death and dying issues. Communication skills, including tone, are significant tools most of us can benefit from. Sometimes EMDR and/or hypnotherapy techniques are used to help deal with past trauma. Psychotherapy with Dr. Gail helps clients regain perspective and balance, managing anger and practicing calming, self-soothing exercises. Increased self-awareness helps make healthy choices possible. Healthy choices quickly improve energy and focus which leads to positive growth.

Are you depressed or anxious? Are you having difficulties with loved ones, friends, or coworkers? Do you find yourself in unhealthy or toxic relationships? Are you in an abusive relationship? Have you or someone you know been physically, sexually, or emotionally abused? Life can be challenging and stressful, especially when dealing with problems at home or work. At times, going to family and friends for support is not enough. If you are having problems, I can be that neutral person who will listen and provide guidance and support.

Hello beautiful people. My most treasured skill as a therapist but most importantly as a human is the ability to connect and relate with almost any one no matter your race, gender, culture, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or age. I am learning in practice and in life that no matter how old, young, accomplished or established we become there will always be a natural human yearning we carry to feel like we belong and that we matter to others.

I chose to focus my work with Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, Saddleback Community College and in private/group practice settings with people who have experienced trauma in their lives. I define "trauma" as any event in life that interferes with someone's ability to live life daily in the way they wish. Symptoms can include anxiety, depression, unfulfilling personal relationships and difficulties on the job or at home. People who experience unresolved trauma commonly experience personal difficulties that translate into problems for individuals and families. Typically, coping with the many stresses in daily life is compromised.

Congratulations for taking action! Sometimes we need to re-write our stories, change directions, or get back on track, before our lives are the way we desire, and more importantly the way we deserve. I offer a compassionate space for individuals to heal from past wounds, stop self-defeating and self-destructive patterns, increase self-awareness so that they may express themselves and make progress in their lives.

Hello, welcome to therapy. I am a Trauma Therapist that utilizes a Biological, Unconscious, and Relational approach to healing and psychotherapy. I am a believer in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the wisdom of the body to create lasting change within the individual, couple, or family system that enters the psychotherapy process. In addition to traditional therapy I also utilize Brainspotting and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy on an as needed basis. These tools can be used to enhance the process of therapy and address how the body and the brain store traumatic memories.

Life can be challenging and a stressful balancing act which can be exacerbated by low sense of self-worth, anxiety, low mood, loss of a loved one, life transitions, childhood trauma, discrimination or environmental stressors. Or, because you have not been fully represented in spaces that hold power, you question whether you belong despite strong evidence that you do. And, even if you know you belong, you are exposed to microaggressions and discrimination, which impacts your day-to-day life.
