Therapists in Agoura Hills, CA

Rachael Dadbin focuses on guiding clients who seek healing and growth to achieve desired results. You can be going through a life transition, experiencing heightened anxiety and overwhelm, substance use, academic and/or work place challenges, relational difficulties with self and others, and challenges around self-worth and esteem. Sometimes we just need a safe place to share our deepest thoughts and sort through our day-to-day because life can feel hectic.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who works predominantly with adults and couples struggling in various life issues. I work with relationship issues, loss, grief, addiction, trauma and emotional pain. I help by using a collaborative approach between the client and therapist: working to develop the skills needed to manage and reduce symptoms, developing insight about the manifestation of symptoms and to help you get control over your life again.

Welcome! Thank you for visiting my page. I know that choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. Selecting someone who has experience working with your concerns, to whom you can connect is essential. You're looking for someone who gets YOU. You want someone who understands, who can help you overcome your unique struggles and help you transform into the person you have always wanted to be. My goal is to provide a home for you to be authentically who you are, without judgment. By understanding how your past relationships shape your current experience, you can gain awareness and understanding of how your perspective is affecting YOU.

The goal to good therapy work is in creating a safe therapeutic relationship of deep listening and empathy. Empathy is a strange and powerful thing. There is no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It's simply deep listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of, "You are not not alone." Take some time to heal. Give me a call and let's begin to re-write your story.

Feeling overwhelmed? Are you or your teen an empath? Do you find that you absorb the emotions of others? Do you leave gatherings early due to feelings of overwhelm? I offer specialized techniques for highly sensitive people or those experiencing anxiety and depression. Together we will uncover what barriers towards wellness have been created in your life and find tools to help you reclaim a sense of peace.

Are you grappling with mood disorders, addiction, or behavioral patterns that have you feeling stuck? Do you wonder if there’s a way to initiate meaningful change in your life? You’re not alone. Our work together will concentrate on your unique challenges, setting the stage for transformative shifts and a renewed sense of self. I embrace a casual and direct style that values authenticity and mutual respect. Driven by curiosity, my aim is to help you identify and reassess behaviors and patterns that may have been helpful before but now obstruct your growth.

The way you've gone through life is not working for you anymore, and you don’t know why. You are ready to explore why you repeat things that are not working for you but you're finding that some issues are difficult to confront alone. I'm here to help. I work with adults, couples, and teens to transform unhelpful beliefs, burdens or habits that keep them stuck. People come to me seeking someone who's done their own work and can help guide them through theirs—someone who is highly trained, compassionate, and honest. You can create a life that you are proud of in therapy.

Your life, mental health, and relationships are not what you want them to be, so you're looking for a therapist to help you improve your well being. Maybe you don't feel good enough in various ways. Maybe fears and worries take over your mind at times. Maybe you get caught in cycles of negative thoughts, and it's hard to see the positives. Maybe it's difficult to move on from stressful and upsetting things that you've been through in the past and you recognize those things are still affecting you today. You just want to be free from it all! While these aren't easy issues to tackle on your own, a skilled therapist can help you!

The clients I see in my practice range in age from 11-80. While each individual has their own story, there are common threads that seem to run through all of us. These threads include loneliness/isolation, anxiety about the future, addiction, the aftermath of heartbreak/loss, work/money stress, longing to understand one’s past, even worry over the ever-changing state of the world. These and other issues, while painful and often confusing, are actually the materials that create change and growth. This is the therapeutic process.

You've known that some issues have been always holding you back from reaching your full potential in life, career, and relationships. You realize that these unresolved and unattended issues do not serve your life, and keep sabotaging your happiness on different levels... Perhaps, you even tried working through some of them on your own, but deep down you know you need some external help and guidance to heal from them. You would like to reach some peace, let go of pain, learn how to accept and love yourself better, learn some real tools and skills to be more resilient, feel strong and confident, and be able to enjoy life.
