Anxiety Therapists in California

I know that beginning psychotherapy can feel scary. I hope to provide a space that feels warm, non-judgmental and helpful. I tend to work with adults, adolescents and couples who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and many of the other effects and challenges of the world we live in. Overall, I believe that navigating these experiences feels better when we get to work through them with someone else.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, self esteem, somatic issues, or life transitions in adults ages 18-40. Do you feel stressed, insecure, or ashamed, constantly battling with intrusive thoughts or impulses that you may not even entirely believe, but still can't seem to let go of? Are you feeling stuck in the trap of perfectionism, alone with high levels of emotional or physical pain, confused about sense of self or life direction, or wondering why your relationships aren't as fulfilling as you'd like? If so, we might be a good match to explore potential therapy together.

Do you find that you’re struggling to motivate yourself to do anything, or you’re sinking into increasingly negative feelings? Is your mind working overtime with worry, leaving you exhausted? Are you irritable and dread going to work each day? Are you suffering from grief and wondering if you'll ever feel normal again?

Are you a working professional feeling like you're constantly running on empty? Do you find yourself battling feelings of not being good enough and struggling to connect with your family and loved ones? Maybe you're stuck in a cycle of anxiety, worry, fatigue, and self-doubt that's keeping you from truly thriving in life. Do you sometimes feel like an imposter in my own life, constantly numbing out with substances or distractions that leave you feeling empty and alone?

There are numerous reasons someone comes to therapy, but if you are exploring these pages you owe it to yourself to check out therapy. Seeking therapy does not mean there is something wrong with you.

Accepting new clients. For 20 years, I continue to be humbled by your unique journey. I believe that all voices are equal and that multiple perspectives can exist simultaneously in a world where differences have become a challenge for many. I provide a non-judgmental space and relaxed style and welcome you as you are. Society teaches us to be one strong person, which can minimize the vital and essential parts in us that reveal our true Self. Do you have compassion for all of your parts? How do you show up in your life? And how can I best help you move forward from where you are to where you want to be? www.michelleoglemft.com

I am most passionate about helping you suffer less in daily life. My goal is to empower you to get your needs met and to have more victory over anxiety and depression and all the daily inner challenges you might be facing at different stages of life. I specialize in motherhood self-care as well as helping women to learn how to prioritize themselves and decrease guilt. You are deserving of kindness and nurturing and for your boundaries to be respected. My clients can tell you that there is a road that eventually leads to less suffering and more joy.

I have over 25 years experience assisting people make significant changes in their life and learn strategies to lessen symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar and other disorders.

My mission is to help you decrease suffering and increase life satisfaction. I am a believer in the idea that though pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. The principles I live by for creating a fulfilling life include building self-esteem, living a values-based life, and effectively navigating pain. I will support you in this through both a psychodynamic approach and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I have experience working with a variety of obstacles, including anxiety disorders, substance abuse, depressive disorders, interpersonal conflicts, and the overall challenges arising from living life on life's terms.

I work from an attachment, strength-based perspective as I assist teens and adults with a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and relationships. Often the story we tell ourselves about the world profoundly impacts how we think, feel, and behave, and taking a closer look at these stories can help us heal. I utilize different therapeutic practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

While compassion is the cornerstone of my practice, I will also challenge you in more direct ways. Through the process of psychotherapy we come to know ourselves in a meaningful way. This self-insight can lead to comfort, purpose, and more settled, enriching relationships. * A note about COVID-19: this pandemic has already caused all of us great loss, destruction, and grief. We are anxious about what may come. It is of some solace to know that we are all feeling these things across the world, in our own ways, and that we will get through this.

Perhaps from the outside your life seems pretty good? Maybe there's even a part of you that feels guilty complaining, asking for help? Or, maybe you're in a full-blown crisis? Maybe you've been listening to self help books & podcast? Practicing gratitude & positivity? Meditating & praying? But something still feels OFF ...at home, at work, in your quiet moments alone ...in your relationship with your partner, kids, friends, parents ...with your SELF, your body, age, appearance, relationship-status? Do you feel exhausted? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Numb? Lost? Sad? A tightness in your chest? A pit in your stomach? Like you might explode?

If you are ready to get better, I am here to help you! I am extremely empathic which is great for clients (not so great for me, ha) I specialize in depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders and couples therapy, I can help you to better understand yourself. Without even being aware of it, many of us recreate the same destructive patterns in life over and over again. Through the process of therapy, these patterns can be broken and a new and happy you can take hold. But you won't feel better without first understanding what makes you do the things you do. I do zoom, phone and in-person sessions. I look forward to speaking with you!

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. All the advice you get from those closest to you feels so out of touch with the agony of daily doubts around the things that matter most. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.
