Out of Network Therapists in Crescent City, CA

The pandemic was hard on all of us. If you feel like you need some support or help to desal the last couple of years, I'm here. We all need help occasionally. Learning how to approach and overcome these challenges shape us and allow us to experience life to the fullest. Therapy allows us to look at where we may be blocked and helps us find our own answers to living an authentic life. I discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life issues, understand difficult situations, learn new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations that lead to a more authentic life.

Are you overwhelmed by stressors in your life and struggling with feeling sad, lonely, nervous, tired and irritable? Would it feel useful to have someone you can communicate with about your worries? As a licensed counselor and community advocate, I provide individual therapy in an empowering, empathetic and collaborative manner for people such as yourself. I can assist you with discovering and developing skills and methods to increase your feelings of emotional well-being and with improving your coping and communication skills.

My style is collaborative, compassionate and non formulaic. Together, we decide what the issues are and how to tackle them. A special focus of my practice is with creative's and culturally diverse people. Besides teaching clients new skills to overcome their feelings of depression, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem, I am also trained as a master career coach and can help you find greater meaning in your career choices or achieve success in your job search or in improving your work relationships.

Are you trans, queer, or non-monogamous? Do you feel at the edges of gender or relationship? Are you seeking support with gender transition? My practice is centered on supporting trans and queer people in creating lives that are vibrant, balanced, and celebrated. You can accomplish this by creating a clear roadmap to move from uncertainty to clarity in yourself, and in relation to others. People who choose to work with me are often seeking a therapist who has a lived experience with gender, sexuality, non-monogamy, and alternative family structures. When working with me the "non-typical" is honored as a strength.

Valuing the therapeutic relationship as primary, I enjoy working with clients at deep structural levels to promote insight into, and integration of their inter/intrapersonal relationship dynamics. This is a process that has, at its core, the goal of engendering ever more conscious, authentic and compassionate ways of relating to the self, others and the world in ways that facilitate genuine healing and intimacy.

Presence, attunement and holistic witnessing provide the container to safely feel, express and expand. With a resonant, integrative, and somatic approach, we'll explore and process in a way that allows your thoughts, emotions, feelings, felt sense and unique lived experience to take up space and integrate, highlighting your depth of inner wisdom and resourcing unique to you.

Wondering what you can expect? I’ll inquire, listen and help you unpack your what’s going on in your life, what works, what doesn’t and the why. Examine and map out where the patterns are (obvious and hidden); identify what keeps you stuck and support you in making the necessary creative steps to get your life and your relationships working much better. I listen empathically and am also very, some say disarmingly, honest. You deserve both.

Dr. Tonia Vojtkofsky specializes in providing psychotherapy and psychological evaluations for immigration cases such as Hardship Waivers, Asylum, VAWA, & U Visas. I believe there is hope for you, no matter what you are struggling with, or how intense your suffering is. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidenced-based treatments that empower people to learn, grow, and heal.

It takes courage to ask for help. I honor you in your pursuit of healing and wholeness. Experience and data show that a strong therapeutic relationship is the key to success in therapy. I endeavor to provide a safe container into which each individual human being who comes for therapy is welcomed. Being met with empathy, respect, acceptance, kindness, understanding, genuineness and non-judgement opens a space where each person can explore their issues without feeling the need to censor or conform. Having another person inalienably aligned with your own deepest Self empowers your unique route to healing and so transformation.

I have been a good fit for individuals looking for a supportive space to address anxiety and depression, needing movement in developing new coping strategies, seeking a deeper level of wellness and balance, or identity development. I have often found that I work well with those who have found therapy unhelpful in the past and are looking to give it another try. I also recognize that counseling is a different experience for those who identify as ADHD or ASD. The neuro-diverse culture is an area that I have experience in and that I find meaningful to work with.

Although fear, anger, shame, guilt, and sadness often prevent us from living each day to the fullest, each one of us is uniquely resilient. From a strengths-based approach, I work collaboratively with my patients to facilitate personal growth, healing, and the establishment of more meaningful and fulfilling interpersonal relationships. I utilize EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) as a primary intervention in the resolution of trauma in individual therapy.

I work collaboratively with my clients to use their strengths to develop positive change in couple and family interactions, and in individuals' personal, social, educational, and employment lives. My work blends stress management, mindfulness, guided imagery, communication skills, anger management, family counseling, parenting skills, and trauma work. I have experience with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, medical stress and chronic pain, ACA/codependency, PTSD, and Panic DO. My work is neurologically based, client centered, and solution focused.

I am a multi-cultural psychotherapist originally from the SF Bay Area, residing in beautiful Northern Cali. In my work, it's a great joy witnessing a person’s journey through their suffering, into a more satisfying, fulfilled and whole way of living. I believe that you hold the answers to your questions. Whether you're in partnership, an individual, or a family, let's collaborate, with honesty and compassion to help you reconnect to your wisdom, healing and bliss. This is an invitation for you to take the lead in becoming the ultimate expert in your therapeutic journey.

It's the middle of the night and you can't sleep. You keep trying to understand why you are so stuck in your life and your relationship. Your partner is asleep in the other room because you are fighting again. You've done so much to try to feel connected but it isn't working. It's so different than what you experience when you are in community, surrounded by people who are vibrant and expansive. Like that time you were at Burning Man and you felt so alive only to come home to a life that feels numb, and disconnected. No matter how many plant medicine ceremonies, books, or courses you do, you still find yourself frustrated.

Are you struggling with relationship issues at work, or in your personal life? Are you trying hard to maintain a job, or a relationship? Are you struggling to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression or addiction? I work with individuals and couples and provide a caring, collaborative, non-judgmental space, from which people can feel supported to get more out of life. I provide Telehealth which allows you to participate in therapy from the comfort of your own couch!
