Therapists in Business District, Irvine, CA

You’ve made it! I am excited to see if I am the right fit for you. I work with Adults, Teens and Families struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship or identity issues and past trauma(s). Are you a mother experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety? I hope this can be a safe space for you. You are spectacular. Have you been struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood trauma, people pleasing, codependency or overachieving? Maybe it is finally the right time to process those memories or emotions your body won't allow you to ignore anymore.

Do you feel depressed or anxious due to childhood trauma? Do you feel disconnected in your relationships with others? I’m here to help you develop an action plan for meaningful changes. My approach to therapy is relational and person-centered. I will work alongside you in a warm and understanding environment where you can explore your emotions and find better ways to deal with the stressors in your life.

My passion is working with children, adolescents, and their families to help discover each person's unique strengths and challenges. I conduct assessments and evaluations on young children with developmental delays, school-aged children who may be experiencing difficulty in school or emotional and/or social difficulty, as well as adolescents who may be experiencing a variety of issues. I have extensive experience conducting evaluations for children with Autism, Asperger's, ADHD, behavioral issues, as well as emotional disturbances including anxiety and depression. I also have experience working with couples for psychological evaluations during the adoption or surrogacy process.

Do you often feel overwhelmed or anxious? Have you experienced panic attacks or relationship issues with friends, family, or significant other(s)? Maybe you are having difficulty adjusting to a life change or change in general. Sometimes experiences and situations can feel quite heavy, but I am here to tell you, you don't have to carry it alone. Together we can explore your world, and discover how you can gain relief, control, acceptance, connection, or a positive change in your life. With me you will have a warm, trusting, and supportive environment so you can safely process emotions and experiences, and comfortably heal and grow.

Therapy is a process that guides us with trusting ourselves to live our highest potential and make responsible choices. Choices that help us live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I provide a warm and safe environment to explore and learn how to navigate life's challenges while learning adaptive strategies. I provide an integrative approach that looks at the individual in a holistic way by focusing on all aspects of one's being.

I believe that therapy is a journey of exploration, self-discovery, insight and healing taken in the presence of a trusted therapist who offers nurturance, safety and acceptance. My name is Dr. Chantal Kendall. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist. In my practice I work with adults, adolescents, children and their families. My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and humanistic while incorporating cognitive behavioral techniques as needed. With each client a unique collaborative relationship is developed to identify specific treatment expectations, needs, and goals.

I am a facilitator of human connection- connection to yourself and connection to others. Raw, true, and flawed; life can be challenging. I provide a wholistic approach to navigating a path of confidence and joy. I am passionate in working with individuals and couples with their sexual health & functioning and emotional & physical intimacy. I believe in healing the whole person, including the sexual part of the self. When in the therapy room, you can expect an empathetic, attuned and hope filled human being.

Hey there! I am Caroline. How many times have you found yourself seeking purpose? It may feel as if you are disconnected or lost. Sometimes we have trouble setting boundaries in relationships. Life can often feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, unresolved trauma and/or relationship troubles, you don't have to do this journey alone. Together, we can navigate through challenging and uncomfortable roads in order to discover the meaningful path you wish to be on. I will walk alongside you to identify your values, strengths, and preferences in a collaborative and empowering way.

I always say that “healing starts with being human.” We can heal, thrive, and expand when we understand ourselves and what will serve in our growth. By our very nature we are built to survive, but we can learn how to turn surviving into thriving. At the end of the day we all seem to need these three things: to be seen, to be heard, and to be understood. This is what you will have in our work together as it serves as the catalyst for change. Searching for a therapist can be scary, confusing, and frustrating, but for what it's worth... I commend you for taking this step for yourself.

Relationships can be challenging and complex. I offer individual and couples therapy from a relational context. The approach to individual therapy I use is unique in that I don't just treat you, the individual; I also focus on the relational dynamics at play in your home, workplace, and personal life that contribute to your mental health concerns and your emotional wellbeing. In couples therapy I focus on the relationship itself with benefits to the individuals involved ensuing rather than being pursued. Satisfying relationships are not just about meeting each others needs, but are about meeting the relational needs that exist between you.

Do you feel like you and your partner speak two different languages? Do you feel misunderstood, hurt, and resentful? Do you avoid conflict or get stuck in the same argument repeatedly? Reaching out for help doesn't mean that your relationship is beyond repair. It isn't easy to see your unhelpful patterns when you are right in the middle of them. You can break the cycle and feel more connected and closer to your partner. You can learn how to be yourself and be in a satisfying relationship. You can learn how to express your needs and be heard.

Hi! I am so glad you are here. It takes courage and strength to find a therapist to walk with you through whatever stage of life you are currently in. I help clients overcome a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, family of origin issues, addiction, grief and loss, interpersonal conflict and life transitions. My focus is working with attachment and trauma issues with children, teens, adults, couples and families.

Hi, and welcome to the next chapter of your life. Whether it be trauma, loss, addiction, stress, or everyday struggles that brought you here, you’re making a brave leap and seeking support. Our lives are filled with ups and downs, pleasure and pain, but hard work and dedication to your own mental health can help carve a more stable and bright path. Therapy is an amazing chance to process and work through current struggle, past ruptures, or worries about the future. My goal as your therapist is to work as a team to address, process, and grow from your concerns. I will provide an open space, free of judgement, full of empathy!

If you are finding yourself struggling, stuck, or feeling uncertain with life's challenges, therapy can be a powerful way to work through these difficulties. Whether you or your teen are adjusting to a life transition, experiencing relationship distress, managing an acute or chronic health condition, or wanting to better understand yourself and your patterns of relating to yourself and others, therapy helps to both identify the source of these struggles and provide ways to navigate them successfully. If you want to find ways to break unhelpful patterns that are limiting you and begin moving towards fulfillment, I can help.

As a second-generation Taiwanese-American, I understand firsthand the impact of intergenerational trauma and its effect on our mental health and quality of life. When we have endured difficult and challenging experiences, it is natural for our minds to filter and translate these experiences into protective strategies that we believe are providing us safety. However, traumatic experiences often rewire our brains in ways that keep us trapped in reactivity, concerned about the past or worried about the future. I am here to help you return to the here and now.

Would you like help creating your ideal life? Are you having trouble making your way or have you found yourself stuck? Together, lets visualize and create your ideal. I believe you are the expert in your own existence, and I aim to help you establish the existence that suits you best. By working together we can separate you from your problem story as we refocus on your strengths, values, and goals, finding and/or re establishing your purpose with a new, unique view. I will work WITH you so that you may live YOUR best life, in a way that suits YOU best.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

We all have a story... a story to tell of where we come from, where we've been, where we are and where we want to be. The reality is that life comes with struggles and sometimes these struggles have a way of catching up with us. So whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, career/academics issues or relationship conflicts and feel stuck, worried, scared, sad, confused, lost or so much more, well then you've stopped at the right place. I am here to support you and help you better understand what you're experiencing by gaining insight, developing self awareness, and gaining healthy skills so you can thrive.
