Therapists in Moorpark, CA

Perhaps you are having difficulties in your primary relationships, perhaps there are stressors at work, perhaps you face a great choice and several obstacles are hindering your clarity and peace. I have been honored to witness individuals and couples overcome many barriers that initially seemed insurmountable. Based on the lived experience of those I work with I believe that a full, happy, and peaceful life is within reach for everyone who seeks it.

My approach to therapy focuses on healing, connection, and emotional insight to allow individuals, couples, and families to reach their goals and improve their lives. We will work together to tailor your treatment so that whatever may be affecting you can be worked through in a safe, comfortable space. I utilize different treatment modalities like EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy and TRM to bring you the best treatment for your personalized needs. Some of my specialty areas include grief & loss, PTSD, couples and family therapy, depression, and anxiety.

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!

We all experience challenges that hinder our ability to lead meaningful, productive, and connected lives. My relational treatment approach is for you if you're interested in going beyond simple behavior modification to address the root causes of your stresses and struggles and transform your life. Dr. Hinson believes that adolescence and young adulthood are unique intervention opportunities, where psychotherapy can alter developmental trajectories and have a lifelong impact.

My goal is to help my clients expand their capacity for trust and intimacy in relationships and improve their overall quality of life. I help people struggling with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues and women suffering from prepartum and postpartum depression. I have extensive experience in the treatment of eating disorders and body image issues.

I offer mental health services to individuals, couples, and families who are seeking a safe and comfortable environment to discuss their current challenges and focus on their goals.

My name is Fay Alon and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist. I have been practicing for over 20 years. I'm able to connect, understand and empathize with mostly anyone. I'm caring, compassionate, direct and non-judgmental. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the UCLA Student Psychological Services. My post-doctoral fellowship was at Harbor UCLA-Medical Center. I worked for eight years as a psychologist at UCLA. I have been in private practice in Santa Monica, Woodland Hills and now in Calabasas. Please call or email me for an individual, couples or family therapy consultation today.

Thanks for your interest in my practice. My clients are often high-achievers, yet struggling to stay afloat in other aspects of their life. Men and women professionals often seek out my psychotherapy and coaching services when they find themselves stuck in long-standing patterns of addictive behaviors, anxiety and depression or when faced with learning how to manage a significant change in their personal or business life. I provide an empathic ear and will also challenge you in ways to help you meet your goals. I help clients gain focus, develop options and increase the motivation needed to make meaningful, sustainable changes.

It seems brave to me to make a decision to start therapy, to come and open up to a complete stranger. Whether coming to gain life skills as an individual or a couple; Or coming to therapy to process life events as a family or an individual, the one thing on my part most necessary is to listen without judgment or a personal agenda. Working collaboratively, creating a relationship based on trust and empathy is vital. I feel like it is my part to be professional, ethical, and supportive. I specialize in "interpersonal neurobiology" which is an interdisciplinary view of the mind and how it affects how we feel and behave.

Before your day starts, your heart and mind are already racing, your back and neck feel tense, and your stomach feels queasy. You have this feeling that you are stuck and not sure how to get out of this situation. You think to yourself, “What is happening to my life? Why do I feel this way?” Worry, fear, avoidance, racing heart and negative thoughts. In other words, Anxiety!!! It’s taking up all your energy and controlling your thoughts, emotions, and body. It feels like the anxiety is running your life.

The benefit of therapy is that one can gain self-understanding, as well as a better understanding of other people. When a person tends to view the world from a negative perspective, without being aware of the source of these negative views, a belief begins to grow that the world and the components of daily-life experiences are negative. The same can be said for events that provoke anxiety, as well as for individual experiences of trauma. Holding these types of thoughts without processing them tends to skew our views on reality and lead to errors in thinking, such as generalizations about how the world should be.

My focus is on deepening my patients' understanding of their own behaviors, improving their communication and coping skills, increasing confidence and self-image, and moving toward a healthier and more satisfying level of functioning. I am fluent in both English and Farsi.

"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." ~Desmond Tutu. We all have the capacity within us to effect positive change in our lives, but sometimes we may need additional guidance and support in order to get through some of life's greater challenges. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience in helping people find their own inner light amidst the darkness of depression, trauma, anxiety, and loss. I utilize a holistic approach, which draws upon the unique strengths of each individual as key to the healing process.

There are moments in everyone's life when things can begin to feel overwhelming. Deciding if therapy is right for you or a loved one is not always easy. I provide a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings so that together we can come up with the best treatment plan for you. With the right therapist I believe amazing growth can happen. My goal is to have you leave with enough tools and resources to use throughout all the difficult times in your life not just this one.

We all struggle at times to maintain relationships, become successful, make the right choices and ultimately to be happy. Sometimes we need help getting to where we want to be. Therapy can offer a safe environment to work on yourself and your issues, whatever they may be. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family problems, or a variety of other difficulties that can keep you feeling down, we can work together to explore the reasons and come up with ways to improve the way you feel about yourself, and about life.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by experiences from your past, grief/loss, or anxiety and fear, you might wonder if it's possible to feel confident, calm, and connected again. With compassion, support, and practical strategies, I will guide you through a collaborative process to healing so you can feel grounded, present and hopeful. I'm here to provide a supportive space where you can be your authentic self and feel heard and understood. We'll work together to develop insight and awareness, change unhelpful patterns, and implement skills that allow you to be the person you want to be.
