Self Esteem Therapists in 93109

Hi. My name is Edmond Otis, and I'm a licensed therapist with 27 years of professional experience. I work to help clients understand the often confusing interplay that can exist between our thoughts and emotions. That understanding is really important and lets us be effective as we focus on a wide range of challenges, including; stress, depression and anxiety, relationship problems, performance, motivation, self-esteem, lack of confidence, career difficulties, and other related issues.

My passion is to work with couples: pre-marital, couple's with children, empty nesters, and couples entering retirement. We go through so many transitions in our lifetime and each transition brings stresses and issues of it's own. I am a level-3 trained Gottman Therapist and use many modalities as well designed to fit the needs of each couple and individual. I approach my work through a systems perspective.

Are you feeling stuck in your life today, or noticing more conflict in your relationships? This could be a sign that you are being called to do the deep work of exploring your past, your present, and your patterns in an effort to heal and grow?

Welcome to Shoreline Counseling. As a licensed therapist and clinical supervisor, I specialize in relationship therapy for those struggling with connection and communication. I also work with many individual patients seeking to improve their relationship with themselves. We explore past experiences and current challenges with a collaborative approach inviting increased self-awareness and insight. I am wholeheartedly supportive and curious in sessions. In truth, I genuinely look forward to seeing my patients each week to provide them a space to exhale.

I believe the bravest thing you can do is to begin to understand your own story. At the same time, I don't think therapy should be a stale clinical experience. I aim to make the therapeutic experience genuine. I help clients form stronger, more authentic relationships in a judgment-free zone. What makes each of us vulnerable is also what makes each of us unique. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, feel insecure, keep holding onto past grudges, let trauma control us, or be anxious/angry all the time. With a therapeutic style that is energizing and motivating, my goal is to empower clients to make positive changes.

Feeling stuck? It's amazing the difference a therapeutic hour can make. I understand that it takes courage to make the decision to start therapy and I consider it an honor to help you take that first step. My approach to therapy is scientifically informed while still responsive to your unique needs. I believe that there is no problem greater than your capacity and I want to help you find solutions to become the best version of yourself.

What if our most challenging difficulties with depressions, anxieties and relationship problems are messages pointing the way to more connection, confidence and aliveness? I work with individuals to transform the avoided places in you to a kinder, wiser relationship with yourself. With over 30 years experience, I am dedicated to helping you have your inner life reflect the outer life you long for, allowing your most genuine self to emerge. Seeing difficulty as an opportunity to rework outdated patterns and unproductive mental habits, one develops a limitless capacity to generate unexpected, imaginative and effective solutions.

Do you struggle with emotional eating? My specialization is in women's issues. I take a somatic approach, viewing the body as an incredible resource for uncovering insight, information and healing. I believe the body is an incredible avenue that guides us to know ourselves more deeply. In my practice, I specialize in supporting teens, young adults and Women in the recovery of emotional eating and body image. I hold a warm and compassionate space for the therapeutic journey. Alongside individual therapy, I am a holistic health coach. I lead a virtual online course for Women struggling with emotional eating and negative body image.

The heart of my work is providing a safe and supportive space for you to freely express and explore your inner world. With this foundation, we can examine the emotions, thoughts, behaviors, or experiences that are creating distress in your life. Feelings like sadness, anxiety, shame, anger, and relational conflicts invite us to listen closely and learn from the important stories they carry. Together, we can work to identify the root causes of your struggles, and develop new ways of relating to yourself, your story, and the world around you, giving way to lasting relief and a meaningful and authentic life.

Does it feel like you are giving life all you’ve got, and yet you’re still unhappy, anxious and stressed? You might be overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do list and numerous responsibilities, feeling guilty or insecure that you can’t “do it all” at 100%, or feeling resentful, burned out and underappreciated. You often listen to a harsh, critical voice in your head, that only points out "your faults." It's hard to recognize the person you’ve become. You wonder how you can keep juggling so much while feeling so bad. You know it would feel good to slow down and prioritize yourself. You’re ready to feel grounded and more fulfilled.

Personal or relational suffering is often a call to look deeper into ourselves so that we can bring to light who we truly are. Diving into the depths of your pain takes courage, but it is there where your most authentic self can be discovered. I have a non-judgmental compassionate approach to all the different ways that life can be challenging. I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 15 years of experience assisting individuals in better understanding and accepting themselves so they can have more meaningful lives.

Welcome to Mesa Psychotherapy. Are you a college student, young professional, or new parent who is tired of feeling anxious? Maybe your life looks good from the outside but inside you're overwhelmed and on edge. Your mind is spinning about everything you need to accomplish today or about events that may happen in the future. You're always worrying. Your chest is tight, your jaw is clenched, and your body feels uneasy all the time. You find yourself getting angry and impatient with the people you love most. Your persistent thoughts bully you and tell you you're not good enough. You’re struggling to hold it all together.

When choosing a therapist, experience matters. As a seasoned psychotherapist, scholar, and consultant with substantial training, I know there is no set formula for you and your situation. My holistic approach includes attention to your unique circumstance and goals including emotional, spiritual, and psychological health from a mind, body, spirit, perspective. There is no substitute for working with a professional who is fully attentive and present to what you are bringing to the experience, whom you can trust in helping you meet your goals and enhance your life quality.

I have a passion to serve and a desire to help others feel more empowered. Therapy with me is about strong rapport, enhancing your understanding of yourself, highlighting your strengths, and actively working towards the goals that you desire for a better quality of life. I will help you with positive coping strategies and engage in problem solving. I have experience with birth to five, children, youth, and families. I have treated clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment concerns, grief and loss, and relation difficulties. I am available on weekends and evenings.

I believe therapy can be a place where you truly get to know yourself. Through exploring patterns, past experiences, and important relationships, you can better see what behaviors and reactions once evolved to keep you safe, and which of those are no longer serving you. In an environment of developed safety and trust (within the room, and within your own body) you can utilize your own strengths as a springboard for healing and growth.

Are you searching? Are you stuck? Are you trying to figure things out and not finding answers? Has life become difficult for you right now? Sometimes we hit phases in our lives when we want to find happiness and become more productive and successful. We just want to feel better. You and I can work together to help you formulate more effective ways of handling your life circumstances in order to navigate through today and tomorrow. I can help you understand your thoughts, your emotions, and why you may feel the way you do. I can also help you find out why you may find it difficult to improve your quality of life.
