Attachment-based Therapists in Northridge, CA

My life is spinning out of control. I don’t know what to do with myself. How will I ever cope? Will this ever end? If you have ever experienced these thoughts or something similar, you are not alone. Whether finding a new job or settling down with a partner, sometimes life feels like a never-ending struggle. How you maneuver through life’s difficult circumstances can be emotionally and physically challenging. For example, moving to another country, city, or town (as I did when I migrated from London England to California) or the dramatic changes one experiences at the loss of a loved one.

Have you exhausted all of your options for your child(ren)? Are you looking for support with their development? I understand how critical these stages are for children to foster resilience and adaptability. As someone who specializes in early childhood development, has experience as an educator, and is a family advocate, I strive to promote a nurturing environment for your child and family.

Currently accepting clients. I am a Latinx, Spanish speaking, and inclusive Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience working alongside individuals who are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, relational challenges, stress, low-self esteem, intense emotions, and/or numbing patterns as a result of trauma, family dynamics, planned or unplanned pregnancies, parenting dissatisfaction, life changes, lifestyle patterns, or maybe you don’t know what it is or why, but you find it difficult to be in agency and live in authenticity.

Asking for help or seeking therapy might be new to you, but it is something many individuals do when they are overwhelmed by life stressors such as relationships and work. As a Latino psychotherapist, I am aware of how our upbringing and culture can make seeing a therapist difficult. I want to make this process and experience a positive one. My goal is to assist individuals in how they manage stress, and anxiety in their life. Together we can develop healthy coping skills as well as behavioral changes. I will help you use the strengths you already have to be more effective. Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-awareness

I have been helping individuals, couples & families overcome challenges and live the lives they were created for by working through issues of depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, substance abuse, trauma, etc. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and am also licensed in Arizona as an (LPC) Licensed Professional Counselor and a (LMFT) Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. Also, I am a Certified Life Coach through the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) and have training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).

I have experience working with all types of people and their current situations such as relationship issues, crisis intervention and prevention, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use and abuse, bereavement, etc.. One of my passions is working with individuals who are suffering from anxiety. By creating a non judgmental and safe space, I believe that change can happen!

I believe we each possess the resilience and potential to overcome life's challenges, make difficult changes in our lives, and personally thrive. My role as a therapist is to guide my clients to better understand their inner worlds, improve emotional well-being, and tap into unique resources to access their personal strengths.

Do you wonder why you have a big reaction to the small things in life? Seeking therapy, whether for the first time or the tenth time, takes courage and strength. I have heard from clients that even with cognitive insight they have remained stuck in distressing feelings/situations. I strongly believe that living coping skill to coping skill is not a viable long-term solution. Through personal experience, I have ascertained that knowledge of the root cause to a reaction or behavior is paramount to healing. I will not see you as a compilation of symptoms or a diagnosis, but rather as a person with needs that you are trying to get met.

Hi! My name is Eztli (pronounced s-lee) Herrera and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). My approach to therapy is meeting a person where they are at and collaborating on working toward agreed-upon goals. I am an evidence-based therapist meaning I like to look at what has shown significance in treating individuals. I believe in the body keeping the score and social relationships mattering so I encourage physical and social practice in my treatment interventions.

Are you constantly feeling triggered by past trauma? Constantly feeling on edge and anxiety filled? Feel unmotivated, fatigued and without hope? If so, let me help you.

My name is Dulce Martinez and I would love to help you find the tools you need to live your best life.

Making the choice to start therapy can be intimidating, but taking the steps to care for yourself and your mental health shows that you are ready for some change. In order for this change to develop, I place immense value on the importance of the therapeutic relationship and provide a safe space for clients to feel understood, challenged and empowered without feeling judged. I want all of my clients to feel as though therapy is a safe place to vent, laugh, cry, gain insight, and grow as in individual.

You do not need to have all the answers all alone.

I enjoy working with people who wish to explore life from different perspectives. Your issues may range from surface level concerns to deeper levels of experience and trauma. I provide emotional support, validation and new perspectives. My intention is to help you work towards goals that will enrich your life.

As a licensed therapist, I consider it a great privilege to be part of someone’s healing and growth, where they are free to be wholly human. I recognize that seeking therapy can have stigmas attached to it among some marginalized and minority communities. I am passionate about breaking through these stigmas and can uniquely understand coming from these communities myself as a Muslim and child of immigrants. I aim to provide therapy within a social justice framework that is holistic and trauma informed. I believe that the personal is political, and therefore, that therapy can not be inherently apolitical.

We all juggle many elements in everyday life from finances, jobs, and responsibilities, to personal relationships as well as emotional and physical well-being. Sometimes, it is challenging to do it all–and stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression are just a few things that can affect us day to day. I have years of experience helping couples, families, adolescents, and adults find strength within and build upon their own resilience and overcome emotional, mental, and relationship challenges.
