Stress Therapists in Brea, CA

How we see ourselves can play a large role in our mental health. Through an affirming approach, I focus on helping individuals explore their various identities (racial, gender, religious, romantic, etc.). Similarly, I work with clients who struggle with how they see themselves physically such as low self-esteem and poor body image. Additionally, I focus on helping clients process the curveballs thrown at us otherwise known as life transitions. I also offer space to explore grief and loss in various aspects of life, including physical loss/death of loved ones, as well as emotional loss, romantic loss, aspirational loss, etc.

My name is Sylvia Joyner, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with clients Statewide via telehealth. My focus is working with adult women facing challenges with relationships, life transitions, intimate partner violence, child abuse, parenting, grief, depression, and anxiety. Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) my work has helped clients heal and progress towards living a more fulfilled, empowered, and purposeful life.

My name is Nicole Calvino, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I help with issues like self-esteem and self-efficacy, shame, and anxiety. I also work with adults and teens who have a history of trauma, particularly around social forces such as discrimination and isolation. Additionally, I work with people who feel they have an unhealthy/unhelpful relationship with certain behaviors/choices, and want to create habits that stick. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, incorporating Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.

From the outside you are this high achieving teenager that meets everyone's expectations. But on the inside, you have anxiety and are silently drowning. You never feel good enough. You feel exhausted constantly worrying about what others think of you and trying to keep afloat. You consistently push your emotions to the side to please others and not disappoint. You are feeling lonely, outgrowing friendships, and feeling guilty wanting more in your friendships. You feel nervous and anxious about making new friends for fear they won't like you. We understand and we are here to help.

Therapy can be an emotionally painful and difficult process, but also an empowering and rewarding investment towards emotional healing, interpersonal growth and healthy relationships. You have already started this journey by recognizing and asking for professional help. This shows courage, motivation and desire to change. Having a positive experience starts with a trusting connection with a therapist in a safe, neutral and supportive environment. In my practice, I focus on strengths and solutions to help clients gain insight about their current dysfunctional patterns and develop behavioral action plans to make positive changes.

Sometimes “unfinished business” from the past can cause great challenges in one’s life. You could struggle with anxiety, sadness, irritability, hurt, loss, or anger. This, so often, feels heavy and overshadows a person’s daily functioning. You could also notice negative patterns or behaviors in your relationships. Taking the time to look at what contributes to the challenges can cause a positive change in your life, so that you can function without difficulty, be more at peace, and feel more joy.

No one should have to feel alone or unsupported during life's difficulties. Many of my clients come to therapy because they are experiencing depression, anxiety, or loneliness. These difficulties are often related to their relationships, identity struggles, trauma, or major life transitions. I enjoy working with individuals who feel overwhelmed/stuck, and/or disconnected from themselves, peers, or significant others, in order to help them regain confidence and connection. Additionally, I often work with couples (engaged/dating/married) who are distressed and struggling to connect, communicate, and find peace in their relationships.

Welcome, and I sincerely appreciate your courage to seek support. Do you find difficulty in dealing with a particular relationship at this time? Maybe it seems like the sadness, distress, or anger we deal with feels overwhelming. The good news is, there is no better time than now to mend, restore our relationships and work through our hurt. I hope to journey with you to make strides toward healing and connection with those important relationships in your life, while working toward better emotional health.

Seeking help is the first courageous step towards growth, change, fulfillment and healing. These days, daily life can be really difficult to manage and it can be a struggle to not lose ourselves to the anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and chaos we experience. Feeling alone, disconnected and discouraged doesn’t have to remain the status quo. There is hope in recognizing your greatness and your potential. A whole person approach to supporting your mind, body and soul is central to my therapy as is the inclusion of evidenced based practices like CBT, TF-CBT and Motivational Interviewing.

I am passionate about being with others that are hurt, depressed, anxious, or struggling with the stressors of life.
