Therapists in Fresno, CA

Hello, my name is Margarita Cooper and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working with clients via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in treating anxiety, stress, and depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help my clients reach their treatment goals. I work with adults and specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression. My approach is dependent on my clients' specific goals and needs. I use Client Centered therapy as I value each person's ability to direct themselves and move toward their desired outcomes.

In life the journey is just as important as the destination. Having a therapist who can meet you where you are at is paramount on the path to change. I approach each client as an individual with a unique blend of needs. Using EMDR, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral orientation I can assist you in building new skills and resolve hang-ups which can leave you stuck.

​Pursuing your own healing can feel overwhelming and initiating a relationship with a therapist is often a daunting part of this process. If you’ve made the courageous decision to seek healing through therapy, I would be honored to support you by creating a warm and safe space that will allow you the freedom to explore your feelings and develop new ways of coping. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds including children and adolescents. I feel especially passionate about working with women that are experiencing relationship conflict, life transitions, or carrying the burdens of trauma.

So many people go through life surviving and not living when trying to balance children, partners, school, and work. As a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, I will use humor and genuine curiosity to help you explore your emotional needs and increase joy, peace, and life satisfaction. We will discover new ways to think, feel, and relate to others to diminish discomfort and build resiliency against symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, shame, relationship issues, and phase of life issues. You deserve the life you want!

Are you in need of healing from past traumas and old patterns that are keeping you from experiencing the life you deserve? I believe inside all of us there is an unharmable part that is our true-self. I see myself as a guide in the healing process, directing you back to your true-self, that often gets buried under cultural conditioning, other’s opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a child that became an unconscious belief system. I specialize in healing trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy helping my clients regain a sense of empowerment by healing the past, allowing for an abundant and fulfilling future.

Do you feel like you are surviving and not living? Do you feel stuck in an endless loop of anxiety and depression? Is it hard for you to find the words to describe your experiences? Therapy can provide a powerful space to build insight, process openly, and learn to effectively address and manage difficult emotions in order to make positive changes. One of my favorite parts of my job is providing an affirming trusting and non judgmental environment so we can work collaboratively to create a treatment plan unique to your needs.

As we journey through life, we collect experiences. Some of the experiences we collect are negative and can affect how we travel on our journey to our goals. If you’ve ever found yourself: worrying, struggling with sadness, indecisive and unable to complete goals, finding it difficult to find purpose, feeling sadness that won’t ease up, having bodily issues and trouble sleeping, it would not be uncommon to need extra support to help you to climb over the hurdles of life and become the person you’ve always envisioned.

It's been a pleasure to work with individuals of all walks of life seeking to gain a better understanding of themselves, life experiences, and work through issues that are impacting them. I'm a firm believer that in order to grow we must be open to explore more about ourselves and therapy is a great space for that. Its always an honor to hear an individual say "therapy has taught me a lot" or "I'm glad I gave this a chance." I pride myself in providing a safe space to do the vulnerable work together and ensure you feel challenged, cared for, and supported.

Jennifer V. Perez, LCSW. I view therapy as a partnership. My goal is to provide my clients with a non-judgment, compassionate, culturally sensitive, and a brave space to allow them to process feelings and struggles. In my many years of working with clients, I have learned the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, life changes, acculturation issues, and traumatic grief.

Life is a journey of varied experiences and there may be moments when you don't feel your most authentic self. As your therapist, I'll provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore and evolve. I offer a partnership built on unconditional support, meeting you where you are in your journey, whether you need a listening ear, a challenging reflection, a guiding hand, or an empowering voice. I welcome the uniqueness of individuals from various backgrounds, providing expertise in areas related to trauma, anxiety, life transitions, depression, stress, grief, relationships, and personal growth.

My name is Christina Trindade and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Modesto, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with couples and individuals specializing in anxiety, stress, phase of life adjustments, and relational distress utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Strategic Therapy, and Gottman theories to help my clients make progress, heal relationships, and start feeling better.

Are you depressed, anxious, struggling with your relationships, job, life transitions, or other emotional problems? Do you want to release old patterns of living? Do you want to experience more wholeness, well-being and authenticity in your life?

I have really enjoyed working with individuals who are interested in exploring the deeper parts of themselves and those who are healing from difficult family relationships. I am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community, those healing from religious trauma, and individuals who are interested in strengthening boundaries with others.

It is my focus as a therapist to create a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment that allows for personal discovery and self growth. We can work together to identify your goals and address the emotional and behavioral challenges you may be facing. My approach to therapy is tailored to your needs and may include mindfulness, Brainspotting, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused interventions.

I have been practicing therapy for 20 years. I have worked with children, parents, couples and individuals. I treat my clients with care and have kept an admirable reputation as a professional.

We often find ourselves members of "clubs" we never signed up for. Unexpected "club" memberships might include living with anxiety, complex ptsd/ptsd, divorce, single parenting, the challenges of fostering or adopting, loss of a loved one, on and on. Isolation and shame are common while navigating these "club memberships." My clients are tired of being tired, ready to move from paralysis to growth, and desperate for hope and healing. They want to believe they are worthy of love, hold intrinsic value, and have something positive to bring to the world. They want positive life change and healthy relationships with self and others.

Life these days can be quite stressful, whether it be life stressors, the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment, relational issues amongst friends, family, and loved ones or a myriad of other possibilities. Finding a compassionate and caring clinician is crucial. Everyone who seeks therapy services deserves respect and competency. Life can be tough sometimes, finding a good therapist doesn't need to be.
