Hi! I'm Alex and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. My approach to therapy is integrative and eclectic, but it is individualized to each client because no two people are exactly the same. That being said, I have found my focus areas are largely anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions and self-esteem. I work with a wide range of clients based on age, ethnicity, and other identifying characteristics. However, if I had to break it down more specifically, I believe the most common focuses of therapy are anxiety, relationships, life transitions (or change), and self-esteem building.

My specialties involve clients who need self-esteem building, anxiety reduction, depression relief, strengthening of marriages, anger management, stress management, and relationship management.
Hello, my name is Dr. Jane Akponye! I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 129857), a certified Anger Management provider, an EQi-2.0 certified practitioner, and the author of “Children of Divorced Parents”. As a passionate person, I decided to help people find their passions and celebrate life through counseling. Due to perceived stigma, it’s often tough to decide whether to see a therapist when we are worried, stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed with life experiences. I ask you not to struggle through it alone but embrace help.

My hope is to create a respectful, trusting, and collaborative relationship where you feel safe to share your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Stressful, scary, and life-threatening events happen and can initiate strong emotions and physical reactions that can persist long after the event. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, problems with alcohol and or drugs? Are you having difficulty at school, your job, your relationships? Are you overwhelmed and stressed out? Are you feeling responsible for solving others’ problems, worried about a loved one, general sense of helplessness, anxiety, or depression? Therapy can help you reduce stress, anxiety, depression, decrease in unhelpful thoughts and self-harming behaviors. Therapy can help you find hope in darkness.

Hello, I am Robert Gastelum. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in practice since 1982. I assist clients interested in exploring how the patterns of our lives limit our development of options. I view our family experiences as the source of our primary approach to life. I focus on how to proceed beyond thinking and behaviors limiting our growth. These days, I find myself working primarily with adults whether younger or older. My experiences have ranged from working with children and parents to working with adolescents, and now, the senior community (of which I have become a member).

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
