Therapists in Alhambra, CA

Are you worried about your teen, pre-teen or young child? Perhaps your child is struggling with behavioral or emotional issues and typical parenting isn't working. All children and situations are different: sometimes parents need assistance and other times the child needs counseling. As a parent, and having successfully helped hundreds of families, I understand your frustrations and concerns. My goal is to help you clarify the issues, learn how to overcome them, and help your family. I use a variety of methods to help children express themselves as well as identify, cope, and manage their expressions and behaviors.

Suffering comes in many forms. It is personal and intimate and often times overwhelming and sometimes debilitating. But you don’t have to face it alone. Many people have sought my help for feelings of anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and an out of balance work-life; others, for unresolved trauma , PTSD, and other stress-related disorders which keep people trapped in disregulated states of being; still others because they were unhappy with their life and the spark of their passion was dim.

My clients often ask me, "How can I change this" in reference to a particular problem he or she might be having. My approach to treatment is to work closely with you in exploring and understanding the impact of your past with mindful attention to present problem solving. Therapeutic work requires a safe and confidential place to share your pain and struggles. Within this safe space, clients are often able to move forward and discover reasons behind self-defeating behaviors, resolve old issues, and become more authentic in present relationships.

I am a psychedelic therapist and the Co-Founder of The Ketamine Providers Network with Dr Mark Shortt, a full service online ketamine clinic serving patients in CA. I received training for this work as a 2017 cohort member in the Certificate In Psychedelic Therapies & Research Program at The California Institute of Integral Studies and additional ketamine-specific training through Field Trip Health. When used appropriately, ketamine (a potent, legal psychedelic medicine) has shown to be remarkably effective in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD and addictions. It can also catalyze profound personal growth and transformation.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

Hello, my name is Miriam, but I go by Mim. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who was trained and received my master's in science of social work at Columbia University in New York City in 2006. I believe therapy can offer clients with a mental illness or who face struggles common to the human experience a chance to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I feel honored to be with my clients on their journey of healing and self-discovery. Clients can expect the first few sessions to involve an evaluation of their needs. A discussion will occur regarding the risks and benefits of therapy, confidentiality, and treatment goals.

Every person has their own unique process of healing and growth. Psychotherapy is a valuable pathway toward finding balance and wholeness in your life. As your therapist, I approach my work with profound respect for your individual nature, values, and beliefs. Psychotherapy is essentially a collaborative process in which we work together to explore the difficulties you're facing and find solutions that will work for you. Real possibilities for meaningful change can emerge when the essence of your 'self' is genuinely understood. My goal is to support your journey as you move towards a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Since 1984, I've provided services for adults and adolescents in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have varied experience with depression, trauma, abuse, grief/loss, personal growth, relationships, anxiety, and stress. I have also worked extensively with addictions and related issues ("co-dependency", eating disorders, alcoholism, dual diagnosis...).

Deciding to come into treatment is never an easy decision even when it feels necessary. I work from a psychoanalytic-psychotherapy approach meaning I'm most interested in what your experience is. What that means is that through careful listening and dialogue, I'll work with you to better identify and understand what may be behind painful symptoms like lack of impulse control, binge eating, depression that's so heavy you can't get out of bed, or the terrible grief that comes from losing a loved one.

I've been in private practice for several years and in the field for over 20 years, working with adults, adolescents and children who have had relational issues, depression, anxiety and a number of other mental health issues. I believe most of us go through periods in our lives when things get to be too much and our functioning is affected. I help my clients to determine what the root issues are and to address them as effectively as possible by working with their strengths in order to increase insight and make behavioral changes that will alleviate the problems.

Are you feeling stuck? Maybe you feel stuck in the past or present. Maybe it's hard to feel hopeful about the future. It's easy to become trapped in painful memories and negative experiences. A negative experience could be one life changing event or many smaller events that accumulate over time. I specialize in treating people who have experienced trauma. Trauma takes many forms but always takes a toll. Trauma can make you feel overwhelmed, insecure, and hopeless. Trauma can make you forget who you used to be.
