Behavioral Issues Therapists in 90807

Have the effects on the pandemic caused you a great deal of anxiety, depression, or the inability to focus? Is it becoming more difficult to do daily tasks that interfere with your career or education? I can help you! My name is Alejandro Quirarte and I am a licensed educational psychologist. My goals are to provide comprehensive support and services to children, adolescents, and adults. My services are geared towards educationally related difficulties that can be improved through evidence based and best practice. I strive to treat every individual with respect and compassion.

My experience is in community mental health and private practice with clients experiencing a range of challenges with life, relational issues and victims of crimes since 2013. Also, I collaborate with DCFS when applicable. I meet clients "where they are in their journey" and serve as a support for individuals progressing through their unique process of self-discovery and realization. We work collaboratively to meet your needs and reach your goals. I draw from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality and Solution Focused Therapy.

Welcome! I help my clients find hope and purpose, resolve current emotional struggles, and create an abundant, thriving life. Anxiety, depression, marital distress and disconnection; worries, confusion, exhaustion, hopelessness...these are a few of the concerns that bring clients into my office. Together, we can understand these problems and find solutions to create a life of joy and meaning. My training has been in mood disorders, marital therapy, substance use and codependency, and trauma. I love helping clients reach their goals - great mental health, successful relationships, healthy boundaries, you name it!

Hi there! I am a therapist who is adept at cultivating a warm and secure environment for my clients, allowing them space to safely explore and process difficult thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns. Through genuine rapport, a sensitivity to the unique needs of each client, and deep clinical expertise, I assists my clients to develop healthy and productive coping skills, communicate effectively with others, and establish a positive and gratifying self-concept. I have specialized training in trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief.

I have been in private practice for 30 years. These years of practice have taught me to view peoples' concerns as problems in everyday life rather than "mental" deficiencies. Couples, for example, are not mentally disturbed but rather have problems in communicating with each other. What is often categorized as depression or anxiety is often the result of an interpersonal relationship at home or at work. However, it may also be the result of an irrational belief system. In the latter case, I would work with the client in identifying his/her core belief system as a means of changing it. .

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, I'm able to work with children, teenagers, and adults in different capacities. My focus is conducting psychological-educational evaluations and Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE) to provide parents, teachers, administrators, tutors, and students with an in-depth insight into the student's strengths and weaknesses in the areas of intelligence, processing, academics, and social-emotional/behavioral skills.

Welcome to Aid in Healing! My name is Dr. Edden (pronounced like Aidan) Agonafer. I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Long Beach, CA. I named my practice Aid in Healing because it aligns with my mission and understanding of healing. To provide more context, in my own healing journey and through the many years of counseling people, I've learned that healing that is done with the help of others is more powerful than healing that is done in isolation or alone. I have a decade long clinical experience working with individuals and their families and the various systems they interact with.

Sometimes it can feel like all hope is lost. Whether you're facing chronic mental or physical health problems, difficult losses, or confusion about where to go next - I'll help you find hope and balance amidst life's obstacles.
