Female Therapists in Lower Peters Canyon, Irvine, CA

Hi there, my name is Lindsay and I am passionate about therapy and its ability to help us heal and grow. As humans we are all facing some kind of giants of our own. Whether it is current or something of the past, there is hope. I enjoy working with all populations of clients, especially, individuals, couples, and families facing issues within their relationships or having personal struggles of their own such as anxiety, depression, abuse, grief/loss, addiction, low self-esteem, life transition, or identity issues, just to name a few. My approach is holistic, I like to focus on the entire person not just their symptoms/problem.

I'm so glad you are here and considering beginning the journey toward the life you want! I am devoted to providing a safe space where you can feel heard and understood without judgment. I've been a licensed therapist for over 25 years, guiding clients through the inevitable challenges we all face. I am dedicated to working with adults 18 and over with issues like depression, anxiety, recovery from addiction, life transitions, relationship challenges, and complex trauma. My framework combines cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed modalities, including internal family systems (IFS) and EMDR for deeper work.

Asking for help can be one of the most difficult and even scariest thing for you to do. But therapy doesn't have to be so daunting nor does it have to take years for you to feel better. The therapy space should feel safe and empowering in order for you to be able to share, to learn, to consider a different perspective, to gain insight, to process your experiences, to start healing your emotional wounds, and to grow. You are not alone in feeling lost, helpless, angry, or confused. WE ALL feel this way at some point in, or about some areas of, our lives. A burden shared is a burden less heavy.

Do you lack emotional connectedness with your loved ones or suffer from anxiety or depression that inhibits you from forming genuine relationships? You are not alone! Every individual at their core, values intimate, personal relationships with their significant others, family members, and friends. People often come to therapy because they struggle or experience unhappiness in their lives and are unaware of underlying symptoms such as depression, anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, low motivation, or emotional and psychological distress. I can help you address and move through those issues to create a purposeful and meaningful life.

Are you struggling with racing thoughts? Having difficulty sleeping? It may be time to take matters into your own hands. Lets identify your goal and determine how to take the steps to get there.

I am a licensed Christian Psychologist who has been helping people in therapy for over 25 years. I have seen how depression, anxiety, and difficulties in relationships are symptoms which arise out of injuries or losses in one's life. Healing occurs in the safety of a therapeutic relationship where one can work through these difficulties. My goal is to help my clients identify, understand and develop healthier relationships, which leads to a sense of well-being through an interactive process. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and I specialize in working with individuals, groups, and couples.

Hello, I'm Dr. Maria Darcy, Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist. I have recently relocated my practice to Newport Beach and Irvine California. I have worked with individuals and couples in the United States and Europe for the past 15+ years. My therapeutic approach is integrative with a strong emphasis on relational factors. Ultimately I tailor my approach to each individual client and their situation. I incorporate a multicultural understanding into my approach by paying attention to social and cultural factors (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation etc.) that impact individuals' experiences and their choices.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Lao Tzo Congratulations, you have taken the first step, and I am honored to work with you. Each experience/event is a chapter in your life. No one experience defines who you are or will become. You are the author of your own story, so I will not tell you what to do. Instead I will help you determine what you want the next chapter in your life to look like and help you get there. I provide a relaxed environment, using a collaborative and supportive approach.

Relationships with our loved ones and with ourselves can be complicated. Do you struggle with effective communication and setting boundaries with your family? Do you feel lonely and not seen in your intimate relationships? Do you ever feel conflicted within yourself about going after what you really want? I understand how hard it can be to change relational dynamics and how powerless you might feel at times. Yet, I see your grit - you’re right here, digging for answers, and that means a lot to me. So, props to you for making moves and shaking things up in your life!
