Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California.

Nice to meet you! My name is Claudia Ceron, LCSW. Im a bilingual therapist (English, Spanish) based in Southern California with 18 years of experience working with children, families and those involved in forensic settings.

As your Therapist I hope you make feel comfortable, and secure . During our sessions you will not feel judgement, and only a genuine interest to understand you and how we can work together towards your goals.

Are you trying to cope with the stresses and anxieties of daily life? Do you struggle with negative thoughts about yourself? Are the increasing demands of life becoming unmanageable? Have you gone through traumatic experiences? I believe a supportive and encouraging therapeutic relationship can help you uncover new possibilities and strengths to make real changes in your life. I specialize in individual therapy for adults. I am a EMDR therapist, so we can work through past challenges or traumas you may have experienced in your life.

My familiarity with several languages, my studies in philosophy of religions, and my experience in traveling to dozens of countries, have enabled me to make quick and strong connections with my patients , and build long lasting relationships.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychotherapist specializing in psychological evaluations for immigration purposes including Asylum, U-Visas, T-Visas, VAWA victims, and Hardship Waivers. My practice is dedicated to working alongside attorneys to ensure that each client's unique story is brought to life. FREE phone consultation. Afternoon and weekend appointments. Payment plans available . Currently offering both in-person following Covid-19 safety protocols, and Virtual Psychological Evaluations.

You're putting one foot in front of the other and you still feel lost, stuck, or overwhelmed by events and emotions in your life. Or, perhaps it's become hard to tackle the day-to-day and you're longing to reconnect with the person you used to be. Maybe you feel caught in the past or tangled up in the future, disconnected from all that your life has to offer in this moment. Whether you know exactly how you want your life to shift as a result of being in therapy, or, you know only that you want to feel better than you do now, there is the possibility of living the life that feels best for you.

Life throws us so many different obstacles and challenges that sometimes it can be very overwhelming. You may struggle with relationships, trusting others, understanding yourself, suicide, fear of the future, feeling unappreciated or loved, and a lot more. The challenges we face, are common but may have us feeling and thinking the worse. This can cause us to feel alone and can cause us to isolate. Many don’t know how to cope and or feel confused. Many are lost with a lot of thoughts and feelings, not realizing that these feelings and thoughts are normal to have.

I believe in an active process between client and therapist where you can attain new perspectives on your life's challenges and transitions. Sometimes we are aware of difficulties we face, but need a safe environment to create the changes necessary. Our work will include unveiling the valuable gifts that your unconscious holds for you and looking at how your beliefs may be restricting you. I utilize different therapeutic approaches and tools to help you see and experience situations through different lenses. This enables you to make new and healthier decisions and live a more vital and fulfilling life.

My passion is psychological healing and growth. I believe everyone has the innate potential to live full, satisfying, and self-actualizing lives with hope, joy, and meaning. I want to help people change and grow in an environment that is open, safe, and non-judgmental. Compassion and authenticity will help people grow and feel whole. I primarily use an integrative approach, incorporating multiple therapeutic approaches and drawing on a variety of techniques and interventions as needed. I, however, gain my principal inspiration from solution-focused and humanistic modalities.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with teens, adults, parent support, and the elderly. I have lived both in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles and understand the insistence to perform. I work from a culturally sensitive lens, tailored to each individual client applying evidence based practices (e.g. CBT and DBT) and exploratory techniques (e.g. Art Therapy) to challenge and create coping skills. If you seek autonomy in your life, confidence in your decision making, the validity of your emotional experience, and the confidence and bravery to understand yourself, we will be a great fit.

I am often able to identify emotional and psychological obstacles that are preventing people from achieving the quality of life that they desire. I strive to assist people with personal, professional and work related concerns to achieve goals that will improve the quality of their life. I seek to facilitate self-respect and build on existing psychological strengths to assist people in developing a more empowered and confident self image. The overall primary goal of treatment in this office is to assist people in making choices that will increase the likelihood of their achieving more satisfying personal and professional success.

I have always been an empath and have perfected the art of nonjudgmental listening and building therapeutic rapport. I believe that when we respond authentically and purposefully to adversity, we create meaning in our lives that propels us forward.

You're unique, and you feel it every day. Maybe you identify as autistic, ADHD, or part of the LGBTQ+ family. You're on a quest to figure out who you really are, to show the world your true colors without hesitation. You're craving that sweet spot where you can just be you, without judgment, fully understood and embraced. It's not just about fitting in; it's about finding where you truly belong.

Psychotherapy is a partnership, shaped by the creative, dynamic working alliance that develops between patient and therapist. I am a clinical psychologist and board-certified psychoanalyst in practice for 40 years, employing both psychoanalytic-oriented therapy and cognitive- behavioral solution-based therapy. In addition, I have developed ARMM, the Applied Reframed Mindset Method. ARMM is a focused technique using tools designed to create a helpful mindset for improving physical health, emotional states, the relationship with self and others, and to achieve goals.

Do you feel like you're always overthinking? Unable to make effective decisions in life? Consistently wondering whether you are enough or have done enough? If so, you are not alone. If we were all more honest with ourselves, we could admit that once in a while, or every day we have some of these thoughts.

I specialize in working with OCD, and I am a queer-identified and affirmative, sex-positive therapist experienced in working with a spectrum of sexual orientations, identities, and relationships. I help individuals and couples interested in discussing interests in kink and consensual non-monogamy. If you are experiencing marginalization or shame around aspects of your identity, we'll work together on how you can gain more freedom to be fully yourself.

"What's madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance (Roethke, 1961)." It is likely that you will come to see me because you are suffering. I will help you understand the sources of your pain. Together we will discover how past coping behavior, although understandable and partially sustaining given the challenges of your life, may become limiting and a source of dysfunction. In a safe and professional relationship, I will assist you to change old rigid ways of thinking and behaving to embrace new flexible and balanced responding to foster success.

The struggle of being human is real and especially palpable these days. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of a career transition, interpersonal relationships, or confronting deep-seated experiences that influence your connections and overall sense of well-being, I provide compassionate guidance and a nurturing environment where you can explore these challenges. Additionally, I support teens navigating self-esteem issues and couples of all backgrounds, including interracial, consensually non-monogamous, and even non-romantic business partnerships. Regardless of your journey, my aim is to empower you in your personal growth.
