Therapists for Teens in Calabasas, CA

Welcome! Thank you for visiting my page. In my practice, I dedicate the time and attention necessary to help clients improve their quality of life. I utilize various specialized treatments that fit everyone's specific needs and provide helpful, practical tools. I am interactive and very straightforward in my approach and I treat each client with dignity and genuine respect. My goal is for therapy to feel as natural and meaningful as possible.

We are drawn to what is familiar. Most of us learned as children that we had to behave and think in certain ways to survive in our given environments. This knowledge became our childhood coping skills. We utilize these coping skills, which may no longer be effective in our adult relationships and may need to be reevaluated. In addition, we may find that we are depressed, anxious or repeatedly choosing the "wrong" partner, because the familiarity feels safe. I have an empathic understanding of these issues and will help you to explore and move forward so that you can enjoy more happiness in life, with loving, healthy relationships.

I work with folks who are dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and/or struggling to adjust to new life events. My goal is to help my clients facilitate a healthier relationship with their emotions and help them reach their goals in living a happy and healthy life. I also strive to create a safe and brave space where clients are able to express themselves comfortably and be as emotionally vulnerable as they would like to be. I aim to help my clients create healthy boundaries, not only with others but with themselves, as well.

While talking about your feelings with friends and family may be comforting, that may not completely tackle your emotional needs and complications. Seeing a professional therapist can help to alleviate your emotional distress from difficult situations. My mission is to provide support and space for healing while counseling you and your family in a non-judgmental and safe environment.

A healthy, flourishing life requires balancing our emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial life Suffering, pain, and loss are a part of every human life. We all experience minor setbacks and major ones. Sometimes self-inflicted and other times beyond our control. Drawing from my 30+ years in business and living life I combine real-world solutions with the latest research to help you heal quickly. I specialize in couples relationships, porn addiction, drug, and alcohol abuse. I believe challenges are opportunities to grow and we can find meaning in the difficulties we face and become more resilient and whole.

Are you interested in therapy but don’t want to have to tell another person that not all video games are grand theft auto, not all cartoons are for kids, and Dungeons and Dragons is a social hobby? It can be frustrating thinking you found the right therapist only to learn they hold some pretty big misconceptions of pop culture. Especially when pop culture is such a major part of many of our lives.

Welcome. Whatever you might be going through or wondering about, it is worthy of attention and care. I see therapy as a non-shaming, collaborative process that invites you to come home to yourself. I work relationally, meaning our relationship is a central part of the work. I value candid communication as I believe it allows us to explore the your experiences with genuine trust and depth. I aim to help clients heal from developmental trauma, disrupt unwanted patterns, and live more authentically and joyfully.

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.

I believe each of us is unique. Therefore, in my practice as a licensed clinical psychologist my initial goal is to get to know you so we can, in collaboration, find the best strategies to help you live your life in the way that is most satisfying to you. As a cognitive behavior therapist, it is my goal to be the guide, along with you, to reach your goals by looking at any maladaptive habits, thoughts, or behaviors you have developed that brought you in to therapy.

Dr. Heimberg takes the time to get to the root of the problem through comprehensive neuropsychological or psychological assessment to assess for a wide range of psychological and medical conditions. Our patient's find comfort in receiving a thorough diagnostic evaluation to assess for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, a specific learning disorder, neuropsychological sequelau of complex medical conditions or treatment, traumatic brain injury, post traumatic stress disorder, and neurodegenerative conditions (alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, etc.).

Today's life can be chaotic. We have all become overwhelmed, confused and unsure about how to handle situations in life, whether they be responsibilities, schedules, family, work, personal time, that are all vying for our attention. How we respond to current situations may be influenced by how we were viewed by other people in our life. We may have incorporated their views about us without realizing those views weren't our own. Yet, we have behaved or reacted to situations as if those views were our own.

I believe meaningful change may begin when you feel seen, heard and cared for! My approach is integrative. I engage my specialized training and clinical experience utilizing cognitive behavioral, humanistic, family systems, EMDR therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapeutic paradigms and somatic methodologies, as well as reconciliation and discernment counseling, and collaborative divorce practices. Therapeutic support is provided for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, codependency and relationship dynamics, LGBTQ+ identity and personal growth.

When you wake up in the morning, is the first thing that pops into your mind a four-letter word? I effin' get it. Life is hard, especially when you're struggling with the impact of a gut-wrenching loss or a traumatic event. I believe that there is innate, healing wisdom buried deep within all of us, but we cannot dig it up alone. Whether you’re struggling with grief/loss, trauma, depression, anxiety or seeking personal growth and clarity of purpose, I can provide you with tools to guide the excavation and find the peace within.

A therapist's main role is to earn your trust and develop a good rapport so that you will feel safe and comfortable to share about yourself. Receiving validation for your thoughts and feelings regarding your experience helps you to begin the healing process. You can begin to handle toxic situations/relationships and learn to set boundaries with others. Counseling encourages you to take care of "you" and teaches you how to improve your self-esteem. You learn to regulate and tolerate emotions causing anxiety & depression. You can begin to replace harmful habits with new healthier behaviors. I can see anyone in the state of CA online

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in Clinical Art Therapy. I strive to create a safe space for my patients, a space where both verbal and nonverbal communication can be expressed. The art in therapy serves to reveal unconscious material that may otherwise remain unknown, and it helps deepen the therapeutic process. You do not need any artistic skills to participate in art psychotherapy. My mission is to provide my full attention and expertise so that my patients feel seen and heard, which I believe paves the path toward growth, change, self awareness and healing.

Please note: Mindworks was previously known as the Psychoeducational Assessment Center. I provide comprehensive psychological, cognitive, educational, and behavioral/ADHD testing with children, adolescents, and adults in the Los Angeles area. I also provide gifted testing, IEE testing, testing for accommodations on standardized tests and various licensing exams, and kindergarten readiness testing.

Is there a part of you that whispers, or shouts to yourself: “I am not good enough”? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, discouraged, worthless, or even like you are broken? I want to help you cope with these often-overpowering feelings and support you in embracing your worth and “humanness”. I work with individuals who struggle with these thoughts and feelings to help them reclaim their sense of wholeness and recognize their inherent worth. If believing that you are worthy, whole, and “imperfectly perfect” sounds like an impossible task, rest assured that I will unwaveringly believe all of these things about you, even if you can’t yet.
