Brainspotting Therapists in Hermosa Beach, CA

Most of my clients are seeking to feel better, to accept themselves, to feel empowered, and to truly enjoy their lives. I am licensed in OR and CA. I utilize a holistic approach to healing that addresses people on all levels (body, mind and soul). I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to explore your feelings and develop a stronger relationship with yourself. I have clients ranging from age 12 to 81 including men and women. I invite you to visit my website to find out more about me and my approach to therapy. If you think we might be a good fit I would love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have.

I work with clients who are seeking change in their life. My goal is to help you identify and alter specific aspects of your life that are not working, as well as amplify the parts that are. I am energetic and active with my clients in not only exploring underlying emotional issues that are perpetuating presenting problems, but also to find and use effective solutions to these issues. The goal is to better improve your life and increase the health and balance of your mind, body, and soul.

As a culture, we are taught to suppress our emotions. We would do anything and everything to distract ourselves as opposed to diving in. I’m a firm believer that our bodies hold our emotions, experiences and traumas. If we turn within, we can find the resources to deal with any problem and we can create a life of satisfaction, love and joy. I am a Licensed psychotherapist that sees individuals and couples via telehealth in California, New Jersey and Florida. I am the founder of a CA based Group Psychotherapy Practice called The Feeling Space (www.thefeelingspace.me / 424 274 0518). Check out some of my colleagues below:

We have the capacity to influence and create events. My clinical work is guided by helping you resolve internal conflict that will lead to a more gratifying life through increasing interpersonal effectiveness, authenticity, and meaning. I use brief solution-focused therapeutic approaches to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. I also focus on addiction recovery and on helping clients heal from their past. I will work with you to emphasize self-worth, empowerment, and insight to help you understand the genesis of your symptoms and how to best begin to heal them.

Opening up around the vulnerable and intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.

I am a Somatic Psychotherapist from Japan. I have worked for Simple Trauma / PTSD and Complex Trauma / Complex PTSD. I will work through the trauma behind your current problems, depression, panic, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and so on, by reading the signs and noticing the unspoken voice and exploring the unknown self with your curiosity. You become aware of yourself that you have not been aware of before. I am here to support you.

Life transitions exist in all parts of our lives and those changes, whether good or bad, can be challenging to navigate. I specialize in working with couples, families & individuals seeking Counseling and/or Mediation during various stages of their relationships. I also specialize in Sex Addiction Betrayal Trauma and Infidelity. I work with the partners of a sex addicts. Partners of sex addicts find their lives have been turned upside down. Life as they knew it has vanished. I can help to navigate through this new ground and prepare for disclosure if that is desired by the partner.

If you've been feeling more anxious than usual and sometimes totally numbed out, I want to meet you. Because you tend to experience your life and your emotions very deeply, you were often told you were “the sensitive one” growing up, and it wasn't used as a compliment. Let's rewrite that narrative together. I'm here to help you understand your mind-body connection so that you can use your sensitivity to your advantage.

I specialize in couple counseling, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, communication issues, and other issues like trauma, anxiety and ADHD. I work with adults and older teens who feel ready to do deep work. The problem is that most people wait, hoping things will shift on their own...but that rarely works. Therapy is effective because it moves us from a state of dysregulation to regulation; when the brain-body connection is in balance, our whole life from decision-making, performance and relationships are easier and more fulfilling. If your goal is to feel more in control and less frustrated, I will help you.

Does your middle school or high school aged child need some additional support? Are they struggling in school or with maintaining friendships? Perhaps someone in the family is ill with cancer or has a substance abuse issue? I specialize in working with children and families navigating life's difficult moments and transitions. With over 20 years of experience as a school counselor, and over 30 years in practice as a therapist, I bring a unique perspective in helping individuals adjust. I work with the entire family to help promote positive behavior and teach coping skills.

Are you interested in direct feedback and skills that you can bring home and do something with? Do you need to be called out every once in a while? If you need more interaction than someone who nods knowingly and repeats everything you say back to you, I am a good fit for you. I don't believe therapy should be a mystical process. Therapy is a tool that is designed to help you navigate the murky waters, feel connected to all of your emotions, and help challenge behaviors that may have once served you and no longer do.

Imagine the freedom of living without constant worry and anxiety. As an Asian American therapist, I offer culturally responsive care addressing intergenerational trauma, stress and depression. Together we'll work towards unlocking your unmet needs, discover purpose and restore balance back into your life. Do you find yourself lost in responsibilities for others; whether its your partner, work, family, church or even your child? This can lead to a loss of self and identity, overwhelm, low self-esteem, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. Hardship and pain can often feel lonely, but you don't have to face these challenges alone.
