French Therapists in El Monte, CA

Welcome! My approach to therapy is collaborative and focuses on insight, empowerment, and making meaningful changes in life. I offer support around anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness, life transitions, traumatic experiences, creative blocks, burnout, improving relationships, and contemporary existential crises. I am particularly interested in mindfulness, attachment, and neurobiological perspectives in therapy. Because of my background as an artist, I enjoy working with other creatives, and helping people tap into their innate creativity. I am bilingual in English and French and offer sessions in both languages.

Do you ever find yourself needing someone to talk to? Do you find your thoughts taking over your mind on a daily basis? The first step to gaining control over your emotions is to reach out for help. I have specialized in helping my clients reach their therapeutic goals through personalized therapy. My vast experience in catering to individuals, couples, and families, has allowed me to individualize the therapeutic process of all my clients. My specialties include helping clients overcome PTSD, Divorce, and Anxiety, which I have found to be some of the main sources of one's emotional struggle.

With over 20 years of experience, I work best with 3 types of people:

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought that you should be further along in life by now? As an Asian American, you feel unsatisfied with where you are currently at in life, but you don't know where you should be headed. You might even feel like you lack the confidence to pursue your dreams. Maybe you also struggle with finding yourself again after having a baby.

Does your romantic relationship need a life line? I'll help you and your partner create lasting change in your relationship. We'll work through the rupture of disconnection, infidelity, parenting, physical intimacy and sex and get to the connection you desire. I work with individual clients on tackling the unmanageable, in their relationships with others and self. We'll explore what's kept you stuck for so long and uncover deep meaning and happiness in your relationships and in your personal story.

Feeling overwhelmed? Are you struggling to change? Do you know in your mind what you need to do but can't seem to change your pattern? Are you struggling to focus, stay present, or be productive? Maybe little things feel more frustrating, tense, or stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is to listen without judgment, help you understand the root causes of your issues, and teach you practical tools to change your life.

I am honored to be able to work with adolescents and adults to provide them with contained space where they can work through obstacles that hinder inner strength and wisdom. For many of us, psychopathology can be traced back to trauma or relational issues of the past. I never tire of exploring this material with my brave clients.

As a certified (IAAP) Jungian analyst I have a passion to work with three specific groups: 1. Men and women, aged 35 - 65, who are experiencing a Mid - Life Crises/Transition, often accompanied by depression and anxiety, and a loss of meaning in life. 2. Young men and women, aged 19 - 34, who are experiencing a "Quarter Life Crises," searching for a more soulful life in work, relationships and beyond. 3. Therapists who want to incorporate Jungian analysis and dream work into their practices, and also those who may want to enter training to become a Jungian analyst. .

Are you interested in any of this? - processing grief, strengthening friendships, relationships, and everyday interactions with others, healing generational trauma, becoming “un-stuck”, setting personal boundaries, building compassion for yourself and those around you, and processing the world around you with clarity and insight ? If so, you might be in the right place. I typically work with folks in the medical field, first responders, psychology professionals, people in business and tech fields of work, writers, and creative professionals.

When you believe you "cannot get there from here," I believe you usually can. Sometimes the stress of life situations blocks your own native creativity and problem solving abilities. Let me assist you to brainstorm and come up with workable solutions to the situation which has caused you to seek therapy.

Whether it is time for you to mend an emotional wound, get relief from anxiety and depression, seek the right relationship, repair the current one, or to create a larger purpose for your life, including a therapist during your journey can help you discover what is possible for you. In addition to his main therapy approaches, Rudy believes that psychotherapy can be vastly improved by integrating deeper exploration into your EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ): Self-awareness, Self-regulation, Motivation, Empathy, and Social skills. Optimizing these primary components of EQ with your therapist can be a game-changer during your work together.

I use a relational style that integrates Western psychology, somatic psychotherapy and Eastern psychological approaches in honoring my patients' experience, their strengths as well as their potential for growth. I am also a certified in Vinyasa and Kundalini yoga and incorporate yogic meditation and breath work. I see the therapy as a collaborative relationship in which I invite patients to actively engage in the process of change. I also provide life coaching in helping patients find greater success in the lives both personally and professionally. I offer Telehealth sessions only as my primary residence is currently in Seattle.

I believe that the body is an important part of talk therapy. I use a variety of Somatic and Mindfulness practices to help my clients slow down and tune into themselves.

Are you feeling unfulfilled in work, or relationships? Do you have trouble sleeping, focusing or completing tasks? Are you having a hard time with your child's/teen's behavior? My name is Dr. Regine Muradian, and I have been practicing for the last 15 years. I'm a Clinical Psychologist and expert working with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD Testing and Executive Functioning related issues for children, adolescents, families and adults. We often face many internal conflicts holding us back and I'm here to help you achieve your goals and bring positive change. I use a solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy approach.

Have you suffered a recent loss or are impacted by painful experiences from your past? Do relentless "what if" thoughts plague your mind, leaving you wondering if OCD is the culprit? Perhaps you've grappled with both, feeling overwhelmed by shame or fear. Maybe you are a helping professional (therapist, doctor, nurse...) and are experiencing burnout from working in intense settings. As a specialist in trauma and OCD, I'm here to provide the support you need. My approach is rooted in collaboration, honoring your strengths and nurturing the connections already within you.

Why do we choose partners who fail to meet some of the important needs in our life, even though initially there was something about them that caused us to deeply love them? Why can't our partner understand what is going on in our world? Why doesn't our partner love us better? We imagine meeting the perfect partner and staying in love with them forever. They would understand us so well and offer the right words and support that we need. Why can't we find that perfect partner? Why is the partner we have so annoying at times?

Are you overwhelmed and exhausted? Do you feel pulled in every direction and unable to find rest? Do you find yourself eventually shutting down from all the stress? There may be some deeper patterns at work, keeping you from thriving. Therapy is the perfect place to explore these patterns, and how your own family of origin may have affected your identity and relational style. I would be honored to share this exploration with you, and help you discover tools to rest, be at peace, and stay present in relationships. Let's create the space for you to find deeper meaning in your life, love, and work. Please call and leave me a message!

I believe that we all have the resources within us to heal, and yet sometimes we need a little help. The right connection between a therapist/client can help start that healing. Maybe your teenager is sullen and isolated. Maybe you are in love and scared to be truly seen by another. Maybe there’s an angry side of you that your family doesn’t understand and a vulnerable side that is too scary to feel. Together we can work on acceptance, healthy coping skills, and letting go of bad habits. Without judgment, we will build an understanding of who you are as a person so as to realize your strengths and fortify them.
