Therapists in Lancaster, CA

I am aware of the cultural factors that impact how we move and navigate through the world, which is why I humbly seek to provide culturally competent services.

Carly Stern, LCSW 113903, Since I was a young kid, I have been passionate about human behavior and relationships. As a therapist, I strive to create a casual and comfortable environment. I liken my approach to talking to a trusted friend with a professional edge. Therapy should be a fun, positive experience for individuals and families. It takes courage to open up to someone. I work best with Teens (13-17), Adults, and Couples. My focuses of practice are addiction, anxiety, trauma, grief & loss, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, and more.

Hola, I am Colijia Feliz, and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am based in Visalia, CA (The Central Valley, just south of Fresno, CA) and work statewide via telehealth. I am a woman of color, (mixed race), half Black and half Mexican. My approach to therapy is to help individuals understand how their past and traumas affect their present and decision-making, help them to realize their inner strengths, and how these issues also affect families, friends, etc.

My name is Rebecca Tyrrell, and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Fresno, California working with clients state-wide via telehealth. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma using trauma-informed therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help better manage and regulate emotions as well as navigate the stressors of everyday life. I enjoy working with adults dealing with mood disorders, sexuality and gender, addiction, traumatic experiences, and other significant life changes.

Welcome. I am Dr. Lori Jespersen PSY28173 - a licensed clinical psychologist with 15+ years in the field. I work extensively with individuals struggling with addiction, anxiety, and life stressors, though my background spans psych emergency, the CA Prison system, and private practice. I have a special focus on the LGBTQIA+ community and have had the honor of receiving awards for advocacy in this area. I work primarily with adults and emphasize the mental health needs of LGBTQIA + and marginalized populations.

The act of coming to therapy is a brave one, and you should commend yourself for doing it – you are taking proactive steps to create the life you want. I view therapy as an opportunity for you to evaluate the stories you and others tell about who you are, identify the storylines that are not serving you, and construct new narratives that focus on your strengths which can help you take a more active stance in your life. This process is simple but powerful, and I believe deeply that it can help all of us isolate and move past the problems that have worked their way into our lives, helping us to reclaim our power.

I am a strength-based therapist working in Northeast Los Angeles. I welcome collaborative conversations regarding the preferred lives those would like to inhabit, finding myself continually curious about the inherent resourcefulness of my clients. I enjoy helping artists to align with preferred intentions in creativity. Often the trickery of circulated messages around "success" can spell us into forgetting one's values in life. As adjunct faculty at Antioch University Los Angeles, I teach numerous courses including Narrative Therapy In Practice, Postmodern Approaches to Addiction, and Group Treatment.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am committed to my work with individuals, couples and families of all cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. Honoring individual differences, I create an atmosphere in which personal discovery feels safe, encouraged and welcomed.

My goal is to help you achieve your goals. Having done this work for 30 years the issues that have sadly remained consistent are the high levels of child sexual abuse and adult sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. A significant number of people will have an assault in their lifetime, so you are not alone. My doc dissertation was on sexual trauma, resilience (surviving), & posttraumatic growth (thriving). I am dedicated to all types of trauma and see that people can not only get better but they can choose the life they wish to live, often with help of a therapist and a desire to change.

I provide supportive therapy services to clients struggling with all kinds of issues, and all different levels of functioning. Whether you have several issues you wish to process in just a few sessions with an objective ear, or you have just been released from higher psychiatric levels of care, I have space and availability for you. I am very flexible sometimes seeing clients online or in person, sometimes once per month or once per week. My ideal clients strongly desire to change their lives, explore parts of themselves, or use our time and space to build on the hard work they have already done.

For over 30 years I have been helping my clients to discover new ways to deal with their problems and to begin thriving rather than merely surviving in their lives. My greatest strength is moving people from crisis to change. My openness and forthright style with clients provide them the opportunity for understanding, personal growth, and change. I view therapy as an educational as well as therapeutic experience. My style is primarily interactive. I am supportive, caring and process oriented. I have extensive experience with mental health, hospitals and schools. I love working with people in all stages and ages of their lives!

At The Retreat Counseling Center, we provide therapy, counseling, and coaching services to Orange County's busy professionals and their families. Chances are, since you've landed on this webpage, some things in your life may not be working well. Maybe you're on the edge of a divorce? Or maybe your job is in jeopardy. Or maybe you just feel a bit lost with what you feel you're supposed to do next in life. And maybe because of reasons such as this and more, you're feeling more anxious and less happy than before. This is tough stuff, but we're glad you've landed here. We want to help.

If you want to chat and get something off your mind or put it ease, I'm here to support you. Maybe you're looking to become more confident and loving of yourself or you feel stuck and want to move forward but just can't seem to find a way to do it. I enjoy helping others learn more about themselves and how the world around us can really have a significant impact on mental health. Identity and attachment issues, addictions, past traumas, significant life transitions, and general anxiety and depression can be really overwhelming and it isn't always something you can do on your own. I work primarily with individuals 11-65 years old.

Asking someone for help takes a lot of courage. It is incredibly difficult when you are feeling sad, stressed, overwhelmed and nervous. You may be experiencing many sleepless nights, restlessness, or past trauma come up. I assure you that you are not alone in feeling this way and I am here to support you. In my healing sessions, I bring a strength-based and humanistic approach to help you feel confident about yourself. My goal is to not only help you heal and move forward by being compassionate and gentle to yourself, but also to help you learn lifelong skills that you can use.

I believe humans heal through connection. The ability to connect with you and your experience, is something that I hold dear. I think everyone's journey is beautiful. I'm a fairly 'active' therapist in that I won't sit back and say nothing. The work is always relational, always happening right there in the session between us. I'm happy to have a phone call to see if we are a good match for each other.

Whether you are taking your first steps towards healing, seeking a new therapist, or needing solutions to improve difficult areas in your life, I am honored to support you on your healing and growth journey. As a therapist, I will be here to help you discover your own truths, needs, and a unique path toward a new way of being.
