Alzheimer's Therapists in Valley Center, CA

I'm a licensed clinical neuropsychologist. My professional background is with people rehabilitating from illness or injury, and with those facing declining health (as themselves or their caregivers) due to brain disease. Such conditions can affect individuals, as well as couples and families. Common goals include assessing or improving thinking skills and emotional resilience, while adapting to unexpected changes in physical/mental abilities. I work with you to clarify values and develop new cognitive and emotional skills that allow you to be resilient to injury, illness, stress, and discomfort.

Now Accepting New Clients! Do you feel you are not the best version of yourself? Are you feeling confused, scared, disconnected and lost? I am here to help. If you are being triggered by emotions and behaviors and it's making other problems in your life worse, I hope you will consider contacting me today. Supporting you at this time is my sincere desire and I'm here to tell you that there can be change, success and growth to bring forward your best version. I will equip you with tools and support so you not only get by but actually thrive. I look forward to speaking with you!

Do you feel like you are sacrificing your own well-being as you help others? Have the demands of working as a helper, in a helping profession (during and post-pandemic), exceeded your resources of time and energy? Do you not only feel emotionally exhausted and burned out, but judged (by you or others) for it? Let me tell you: There is nothing wrong with you! You are having a natural response to the stress and exhaustion of being a helper!

I combine a unique and specialized form of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based on Choice Theory with a Family Systems approach to treatment. I view maladaptive behavioral patterns as a result of inadequate or dysfunctional life choices. I assist my clients in recognizing these patterns of behavior and encourage them to draw realistic and practical solutions to the things that are hindering growth and happiness through the choices they make in life. I work collaboratively with my clients using a "here and now" problem-solving technique and develop a treatment plan that uses psychotherapy, exercise, nutrition, and social support networks.

My father always said “aging comes with serious side effects”. While he meant it as a joke, his words were poetic and true. Whether we are navigating our own experience with aging, or caring for others, issues related to this experience can dominate our lives, and cause significant distress.I come to this work, enriched with life experiences that have given me perspective, compassion, and empathy.

Hello and Welcome! Thank you very much for visiting my page. I am Shiori Lange, a bilingual (Japanese/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (#81730) based in Long Beach, CA. I specialize in helping older adults and their families with caregiver/dementia issues, stress management and overall end of life issues. I have a deep admiration for those who seek to heal and create a meaningful life. My name Shiori in Japanese means "Weave Aspirations and Goals" (it also means bookmark or a guidebook). Life gives us challenges sometimes, maybe more than we want. I hope that my contribution to your life will help you embrace life fully.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, challenging life transitions, or new roles (e.g., caregiving, parenthood, breakups, juggling family and professional life). I often work with high-achieving individuals in demanding fields (e.g, physicians, attorneys, entrepreneurs) who are facing burnout and barriers to growth. I also have expertise working with family caregivers of loved ones with dementia or chronic illness. I have training in evidence-based therapies (CBT, ACT, EFT) for a wide range of problems.

Are you dealing memory concerns as you age? Experiencing anxiety about the possibility that memory problems could lead to dementia? Do you want to have a clearer picture of what the memory issues mean and to be provided with specific helpful suggestions in a non-judgmental and caring environment. My style is relaxed but engaging in order to make each assessment or therapy session a meaningful experience. I bring to each meeting a perspective that is shaped not only by my education and training but also by a wide variety of experiences over seven decades of life.

Caring for your loved one and watching them deteriorate before your eyes is not easy. Dementia, cognitive decline and older-adult life transitions require a special skillset that needs unparalleled patience and support. I know how difficult it is finding that right person to care for your loved one. Look no more.

We specialize in psychological and educational testing for individuals across the lifespan. We provide testing for ADHD/ADD, learning disorders, Autism/Asperger's disorder, dementia evaluations, traumatic brain injury evaluations, neuropsychological testing, substance abuse evaluations, trauma assessments, career assessments, and personality assessments. Our testing assessments evaluate IQ, memory, executive functioning, academic achievement, language, trauma symptomology and psychological/emotional functioning.

Are you feeling stressed? Overwhelmed? Involved in a painful relationship? Do you want to decrease your suffering? We are here to help. The process of change can be painful, but it also offers opportunity for growth. If you are interested in making life changes, or are contemplating making changes in your life, then I invite you to contact us. At ADR Wellness we provide a nonjudgmental and safe environment. We offer research proven methods to help identify problems and create constructive solutions for difficult life issues.

Life can bring about many obstacles - whether stressors or a medical condition - and a therapist can facilitate change or healing. Through psychotherapy, we can journey towards growth and peace, to improve your adjustment to an illness or stressor, anxiety, depression, trauma, or a spiritual crisis. If you have cognitive difficulties, we can develop cognitive rehabilitation and executive skills to strengthen your mental abilities to engage in home and work. At times, neurological injury brings behavioral changes. We can jointly develop a behavioral plan to manage behaviors to improve relationships and ensure safety.

My life and professional experiences have made me an empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental, and relatable therapist.

Welcome! I imagine you have found my profile because you are going through grief, illness or tragedy. I am glad you are here taking the first steps towards support. I specialize in working with grief, loss, end of life issues and chronic illness. Grief therapy can look many different ways, and I tailor the experience of therapy to my clients unique needs. My top priority is that you feel safe in therapy and have space to feel and express your grief openly. I use many modalities to assist my clients in working through grief, including EMDR therapy (eye movement therapy) which is an evidence based treatment for trauma and grief.

We all have times in life where we find ourselves presented us with challenges that can feel overwhelming. As a gerontologist and clinical social worker, I specialize in working with dementia, Alzheimer's, grief, chronic illness, and the complexities of aging. I warmly welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you're a parent with a child dealing with school-related stress, an adult navigating life's transitions, or an older adult coping with the intricacies of aging, I'm here to provide a safe and welcoming environment where your experiences are valued with compassion and acceptance.
