I am Luciana Ruiz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oakland, California, and working via telehealth with individuals all over the state. I have been a medical social worker for most of my career, and that experience has strengthened my therapeutic approach. I used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Grief Therapy to help my clients make progress. My experience includes working with people with chronic illnesses, seniors, and couples.

My name is Celeste Thompson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the Inland Empire in California and serving clients across the state via telehealth. Therapy is a vulnerable space, and one of my primary focuses is providing clients with a safe place where they feel seen, heard, valued and where their challenges and concerns are explored with curiosity and empathy. I work with clients to address a variety of concerns including unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting, and life transitions by building on the client's strengths and resilience.

I am Dr. Joyce Cordosi, a Clinical Psychologist based in Sacramento, California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and adolescents to effectively manage anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and life stage transitions related issues. I also specialized in culturally sensitive approaches to mental health assessment and treatment. My therapy approach involves getting to know my client's unique background, working together to prioritize what they consider important, and individualizing treatment both in- and out-of-session to accomplish their specified goals.

It is truly possible to live a happy, balanced and serene life, and to be your authentic self in the process. Addictions, anxiety and depression don't have to be your norm nor the secrets you keep. You don't have to fake it to make it, nor do you have to suffer isolated and alone. I help individuals, couples and families sort things out and get on with living. Call today and let's talk about the changes you are seeking and how I can help.

It can be challenging to find a therapist who gets you and can hold space for what you're dealing with. If you are looking to rediscover your life after surviving incredibly difficult experiences and want a relaxed environment, but a straightforward (no BS) therapist who treats you with compassion and respect, let’s talk. I understand healing can be messy and growth can be uncomfortable, so I blend empathy and genuine curiosity with dark humor and the occasional f-bomb to create a brave space for my clients to work through their most challenging experiences and achieve post-traumatic growth.

What if you could equip yourself with a toolset that will inform your path going forward? Let's examine what brought you to this moment, your struggles and strengths, and focus on developing effective strategies in helping you grow into an empowered state!

An important step toward living a happier and more fulfilling life involves recognizing the need and desire for change. I believe that therapy can be a very important and effective tool for bringing about positive change in one's life. I work collaboratively with you to set goals, and use strengths to complement and minimize weaknesses standing in the way of achieving these goals. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families on a wide array of issues including anxiety, depression, parenting, behavioral challenges, self-esteem, relationship problems, and life transitions.

People today face many challenges and stressors. As a therapist, I strive to help people overcome their struggles so they can live as effectively as possible. There is no "one size fits all" form of therapy. I tailor my interventions to fit the needs and circumstances of the people with whom I work with. I believe each one of us has the capacity and resilience to live a full, meaningful life.

My approach to therapy is helping people explore thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns between themselves, & our surroundings. Counseling will often be a guided process of how I can help clients utilize their coping skills & strength based tools that people may learn to employ immediately. Sessions are structured around evidence based techniques. I have extensive experience working with lgbtq+ issues surrounding gender identity & sexual orientation. I also have a background working with individuals, couples & families of loved ones dealing with various life changes, including depression, grief, addiction, & mental illnesses.

I have 18 years of experience providing psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am a psychotherapist with a specialty and passion for working with individuals struggling with a wide variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, adolescent struggles, parenting, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem and more. I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, non-judgmental, and confidential environment to ensure that we collaborate and discover what's important to you. I will listen to your concerns and work with you to develop personal tools necessary to improve the quality of your life.

Deciding to pursue therapy can be a difficult and sometimes intimidating prospect. Whether you or your child is experiencing distressing symptoms or simply want to improve an area of life or relationships, therapy can be a helpful way to make changes. The therapeutic environment provides the support needed to identify issues clearly and embark on the process of growth.

I believe many painful disorders such as depression and anxiety are rooted in unresolved relationship stress and disconnect. While this pain may have originated in a client's early childhood it is most definitely resurfacing in the client's present relationships. With my expertise, clients will recognize distorted perceptions and unhealthy relationship patterns that are keeping them stuck. They will begin to own their part in the relationship dynamic which can be highly empowering. Also, learning more effective relationship skills with the important people in their lives will enable clients to begin to experience relief from their painful clinical conditions.

Therapy must be purposeful to improve the quality of life. To improve our relationships, our own psychological and emotional wellbeing. It takes place in an environment that is safe and supportive. It takes place with a therapist who is genuine, sensitive and skillful. When you enter therapy with me I bring all of my education and experience to share with you. I also bring a measure of humility and open mindedness that 38 years of private practice has taught me. I've learned as much from the people I see as, I hope, they have learned from me.

Sometimes life's challenges and personal struggles can't be overcome alone. Friends are wonderful for support; however, they aren't always equipped to guide us to the best solutions or self fulfillment that we inherently desire. My therapeutic approach involves both long and short term therapy to uncover hidden obstacles that may be hindering personal growth or healing. Together we can find strategies and tools to build upon the strengths and abilities that, perhaps, have been buried or are yet to be discovered.

Some are burdened with a sense of disconnection from others. Many come to believe that they are isolated without hope. Joining the tapestry of humanity, learning about the beloved, and understanding the language of relationships are some of the benefits of insight oriented psychotherapy. Often depression, anxiety and fears, loneliness and even psychosis begin with isolation.This isolation is made intolerable by disappointments and trauma. Self-knowledge is the beginning of healing. From self knowledge comes self-control, humility, and a sense of purpose. The staff at New Dawn Psychology Center strives to help you overcome life's trials and tribulations.

At times life can become overwhelming due to life transitions, relationship challenges, depression, or anxiety. I believe that life's struggles become more bearable when they can be held and explored in a safe therapeutic environment. My approach is warm and comprehensive, based in respect and genuine caring. In our work together, I will engage in an exploratory journey with you to gain insight into both your conscious and unconscious feelings and patterns. My hope is that through the therapeutic process you will find greater relief from suffering, allowing for healing and growth in your inner life and outer relationships.
