I understand how difficult it is to feel anxious, sad, or depressed, and how those feelings can impact the relationships in your life. You do not have to face these challenges alone. My work as a therapist centers on providing empathy, understanding, and a safe place where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will process how the experiences and relationships in your life have affected your mood, your happiness, the way you communicate with others, and more importantly, the way you view yourself.

I offer brief, solution-focused support. This means we'll look for the unique tools that will help you to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek to explore & resolve issues of trauma, anxiety & depression, self-esteem & interpersonal conflicts and all sorts of blockages that limit satisfying ways of living. Together we'll strengthen your capacity to manage difficult feelings while finding ways to nurture the deep, intuitive voice of your authentic self. My working style is gently direct & highly focused on your goals. Indeed, our sessions will create breakthroughs during and outside of the office.

Relationship issues, Co-Dependency, Emotional Eating, Trauma and Faith are my areas of clinical experience. Many of us have learned from important early relationships to mute or dismiss our needs, wants and emotions. We might then look to take care of those needs and wants by people pleasing, being over focused on food or weight, or other behaviors that eventually feel out of control. Trauma and or neglect can be at the core of these behaviors. Some people of faith experience difficult challenges in life and have a hard time integrating their faith with their lived experience.

Are you suffering from anxiety and depression, or having symptoms such as insomnia or a change in appetite, have feelings that something is not quite right but feel stuck as how to change. We are often unconsciously drawn to familiar situations we learned in childhood. Events and relationships in the earlier parts of our lives have affected us, and draw us into familiar situations where we repeat unhealthy choices, that are often not in our best interest.

When life isn't going well, or you feel stuck, anxious, depressed or angry. Therapy may help you to move beyond patterns and circumstances that are causing distress. Those who have experienced trauma , childhood neglect or abuse can benefit from trauma focused therapy to help move beyond the past. Together we can explore what is keeping you from living the life you want, and work towards more fulfilling relationships , increased connection to self, and a deeper capacity for joy. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, panic, fear, addiction, numbness, isolation or depression therapy can help in facilitating change.

I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, body image dissatisfaction, pregnancy/infertility, postpartum concerns, transition to parenthood, trauma, relationship problems, identity concerns, depression and anxiety. Through psychotherapy, I will get to know you and the issues you would like my support and guidance to work through. Beginning psychotherapy can be an overwhelming process and we will develop a safe, supportive, and trusting relationship in order to do this meaningful and challenging work.

Using a resiliency-focused approach, it doesn’t have to be an ordeal to heal. In fact, neuroscience has shown this is not the best way to work on oneself. Rather, focusing on regulating the nervous system using simple wellness skills and education about the brain and body connection can pave the way toward increased daily well-being as well as lay groundwork for resolving trauma. We can't always prevent stressors, and many of us have been through challenges or traumas in childhood that make it difficult to weather life's changes. Together, we will co-create the best course of treatment to help you live more fully in each moment.

I specialize in non-monogamous, kink, sex worker, and LGBTQ communities. Growth occurs in an atmosphere of respect, compassion and a belief in the human capacity for healing, change and reparation. My approach emphasizes insight, emotional healing, and empowerment to help you reach you highest potential and develop a more gratifying life. Couples/Relationships: Both Imago and Emotionally Focused Therapy heavily influence my work to encourage the strengthening of trust, mutual respect, understanding, intimacy and love. We will work together to untangle confusing thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns to rediscover your capacity to make meaningful choices that are right for you or your relationship.

I specialize in the evidence-based treatment of Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  I am trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), attachment-based therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.

I am Ana Zalles, LMFT 137168. I am a multi-dynamic and integrative therapist. I have a background in Trauma, CBT, DBT and multiple other EBP approaches to range ages 3-65+ . I enjoy expanding my treatment expertise and currently training on EMDR and Psychedelic Assisted Treatment. I feel comfortable with clients from all ages and cultural back grounds. I have an extensive training and treatment focus with survivors of trauma, anxiety and depression.

Too often, we feel we are surviving rather than thriving. Do you feel stuck in grief or loss, or that your anxiety is running the show? Are your relationships painful or not satisfying?Also-Parenting is hard! Maybe you're a new parent and it isn't what you expected, or even hoped for. Nobody tells you about the postpartum experience -that internal voice in your head that is constantly critiquing the new role of motherhood you're taking on, mourning the version of yourself you once were. Not to mention the pain that comes with a birth plan gone wrong. If you're mothering without your own mother, that also comes with real challenges.

Hello. Reaching out for help is often difficult, and you did just that by clicking on my page. I approach my work with care and compassion to provide my client's with the most effective form of treatment for them. My style emphasizes present moment awareness as well as the relationship between thoughts and feelings. I believe that no two people are alike, and therefore I combine all of my life experience along with my clinical training to ensure that each of my clients has their own unique experience.

So many things have happened: Those chronic terrible arguments with your parents that leave you feeling awful, depleted, disconnected. Feeling like you endlessly date but can’t find the right “person” or feeling like the person you’re with isn’t the right fit but not seeing a way out. Something just doesn't feel right anymore. You know its time to finally work through your past, stand up for yourself in your relationships, and unleash your inner bad-ass self. I’m a therapist who helps people become the hero of their own story.

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust. Good therapy is challenging yet warm, providing both structure and empathy for your unique experience. We are a collective of therapists with a wide range of specialties. Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week. .

I am a culturally sensitive therapist who welcomes clients of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. During times of uncertainty, coping tools may need to be bolstered, or you may notice patterns in your ways of responding that you want to address. Patterns give us information about feelings we carry, and needs we attempt to fulfill. By forming a strong alliance with my clients, grounded in a stance of empathy and unconditional positive regard, I work to foster the skills, trust, and esteem for you to bravely overcome challenges, and acknowledge and act upon your most authentic self.

I help clients through life's biggest transitions. From starting a new job, to beginning a new relationship, or becoming a parent, I build a trusting relationship with my clients in order to help them heal, understand, & process these life experiences. I know how critical nonjudgemental support can be, & I aim to create an environment that makes vulnerability feel safe. I primarily work with adults and teens struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, & perinatal mood disorders. I often utilize EMDR to help clients who feel "stuck". I meet the client where they are & collaborate on an individualized therapeutic care plan.

Many of us haven't had much experience with the kind of truly supportive relationships that make healing possible. A good therapeutic relationship - one that allows us to be fully ourselves while recognizing our unique potential - creates the optimal conditions for healing. I provide a place where you can feel safe to explore your most difficult feelings, to work through grief and loss, heal childhood wounds, relieve depression and anxiety, improve communication, increase self-esteem and develop more satisfying relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and groups, and I'm available for both in-person and virtual sessions.

As a trauma therapist, I understand your yearning for confidence, clarity, and purpose amid past trauma's shadows. The weight of defeat and overwhelming emotions may hinder your path to the life you desire. Yet, that life is closer than you think. My aim is to guide you in finding clarity, restoring hope, and cultivating the confidence to pursue your dreams. Together, we can initiate transformative change, addressing core issues, nurturing resilience, and fostering self-worth for a life of strength and optimism.

Life has gotten more difficult for many of us. Some questions that I invite you to think about: Are you struggling with understanding and regulating your emotions? Are you worried that the ways you cope with stress and everyday life are harming your health or your relationships? Is your past keeping you from being in the present moment or affecting how you view the future? Do you struggle to feel a sense of worthiness and belonging? The skills you learn will help you with regaining control of things in your life. Whether you are a student or other working professional, you can find peace.
