Adults Therapists in Pine Mountain Club, CA

Hello, I'm Michael F. Stample, PhD, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I work extensively with individual adults, couples and families. My primary expertise is in mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, dual diagnosis, LGBTQ+ and transgender healthcare. I mostly work with adults over age 17 or 18, through the later years. While psychiatric diagnoses have their uses, I prefer to see my clients as dealing with "problems of living." I work comfortably with psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and other evidence-based therapies. My early training included internship at the Jung Institute of Los Angeles.

My name is Ken Goodman and I am passionate about helping adults, teens, and children conquer their anxiety, OCD, fears, phobias, panic attacks, compulsions, worry, trauma, and depression. In my 30 plus years working with patients, I have been a part of the most amazing transformations.

There's no reason to suffer.

My name is Ogechi Nkwocha, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Riverside County, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and teens, and I specialize in depression, trauma, anxiety/stress, self-esteem issues, and career counseling. With the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy and Strength Based Therapy, I am able to help my clients feel empowered and equipped to take on life’s challenges.

I believe in the individual's voice and therapist's non-judgmental approach as driving forces in building a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. My passion is helping individuals, couples, and families work through their traumas/stressors, in order to develop effective ways to cope through life's ups and downs and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

My practice reflects my belief in the power of finding one’s own agency, voice, and purpose. I aim to create a warm and safe space for clients to share their feelings and struggles, as well as to enhance their relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them. Through a non-judgmental and meaningful therapeutic relationship, my hope is that clients feel less alone with what they carry and are able to talk about their concerns and emotional experiences in order to improve their overall well-being.

Shannon Novoa, LMFT. I enjoy helping others uncomplicate the complicated. I believe the client is the best narrator of their story. Therapy should feel comfortable and judgment-free. Typically work with parents and children to assist in understanding different dynamics. I also worked with various adults with different backgrounds ranging from substance abuse to developmental difficulties. I also have experience with ADHD in teens & adults and different neurological diagnoses.

I utilize a client centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. In a safe, supportive, and non judgemental space we can explore the negative patterns in your life, work through any barriers, and move towards healing, growth, and change.

I love the opportunity to help my clients discover and live more fulfilling lives based on their unique goals and values. Before starting therapy, my clients tend to feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, panic, anger, and hopelessness. My encouraging and positive style has helped many to move through these feelings in order to build the types of relationships, balance, and achievements they have always wanted. I enjoy working with young adults, adults, couples, and parents of young children.

There are times all of us need a bit of extra support to handle the problems and stressors life throws our way. Problems can sometimes be relentless and seep into every aspect of our life. Problems such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, worry and conflict can make it hard to live the life we desire. My aim is to help people take their lives back from problems. Through exploration of what values and preferences are most important to you, we can find ways to reclaim your life from the problems that are harassing you and your relationships in order to promote new possibilities and ways of being.

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist in the States of California and Arizona. In addition, I am a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist through the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies. I have over 9 years of experience working with children and adults. I have been provided opportunities to work with the following populations: children and families involved in child protective services, adults with severe mental illness, adults experiencing homelessness, adolescents and adults involved in the justice system, and adults addicted to substances.

Therapy can help you resolve ongoing pain, trauma, or stress, and can also help you develop skills and strategies for managing problematic situations. It can also assist you with self-exploration and growth. Whatever brings you into therapy, you've taken the first step towards empowering yourself to make a positive change. Having the opportunity to work with someone can make a difference and it's important to find someone with the experience and connection to meet your needs. In order to feel empowered to make changes in your life, establishing an authentic, genuine relationship is crucial.

Accepting new clients for 100% virtual (via video) therapy sessions! - Do you have a safe space to talk about how you actually feel? Life can often feel like an emotional rollercoaster, balancing tasks including school/college, work, social life, and other responsibilities. In the middle of this, our mental health can suffer within our family, friends, or relationships. The weight of anxiety, depression, or grief may let itself be known, making it harder to get through daily responsibilities.
