Adults Therapists in Irvine, CA

Hi, I'm Sara. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR trained clinician who is committed to working collaboratively with clients to achieve their goals. I utilize a calm and compassionate approach when working with clients as I strive to provide a safe environment to facilitate opportunities for clients to grow and enhance their strengths. I had the honor of working at a residential treatment center where I supported teens, adults , and families navigate complex trauma, past abuse, and persistent mental health struggles like depression and anxiety, disordered eating, & substance use.

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.

Welcome to the private practice of Dr. Stacy Bemis, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist offering teletherapy to adults (18-64 years old). She encourages clients to take an active role in therapy but understands that sharing sensitive private matters with a stranger can be scary. Thus she works collaboratively with her clients from a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive approach to foster a safe and supportive environment.

Dr. Katie Moore is a highly experienced licensed clinical psychologist with an extraordinary ability to connect with teens and adults who have been unable to make progress, or were even unwilling to meet, with previous therapists. Additionally, she is formally trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): two of the premier evidence based treatments for trauma. Dr. Moore started her career as a therapist treating adults , including severely and persistently mentally ill adults in a locked psychiatric facility.

Here is the thing... Life is REALLY hard. The truth is that our mental health was never intended to maintain itself. It is not a self-tuning machine. How can we expect our complex mental and emotional systems to stay in tip-top shape without attention or care? Not possible. As long as we are living and breathing humans on this earth, preservation of mental and emotional health will be as detrimental to our survival as our physical health. I believe therapy is for anyone who wants to heal or improve those mental and emotional systems. If you want to live, love, think, and feel better... this is where it starts.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma can be hard to navigate on one’s own. Through the use of integrative modalities, my goal is to help you find your way so that you can manage symptoms, feel your best, discover who you truly are, and move forward in the direction of your dreams whereby your past no longer holds you back. Using warmth and compassion, I also aim to provide trauma-informed care to discuss your struggles without judgment and safely process unresolved trauma and feelings.

Dr. Colleen Daniel and her staff provide comprehensive and holistic mental health treatment for clients of all ages. Our treatment is tailored to match the individual needs of each client or family. Services include: evaluations of learning disabilities, ADHD/ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, psychological issues, neurological conditions, and accommodations for SAT/ACT/LSAT/MCAT exams; individual and group therapy for children, teens, and adults .

We all have times in our lives that are challenging and difficult but with some help we can navigate through them. In my opinion, therapy should be collaborative, compassionate, comfortable and safe. I would like for us to work together to revolve whatever issue/goal you may have. One of the most courageous decisions you’ll ever make is to finally let go of what is hurting your heart and soul.

YNin Pham-Methot is a licensed clinical social worker experienced in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, difficult life transitions, and other mental health concerns. She provides a therapeutic perspective to help you cope with and overcome life stressors while gaining insight and confidence to live the life you want in the way you want to live it. With experience working in inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, she's learned that empathy is at the heart of who we are as humans. Empathy is the key to a strong therapeutic alliance to building insight, self-compassion, and growth.

Life in our demanding and unpredictable world can sometimes leave us exhausted, in pain, and unable to move forward. Whether your struggle is in response to a recent traumatic event or past hurt that never healed, there is hope for you to find peace, safety, and restoration.

I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was 18. I knew that I was a very self-aware, emotionally sensitive, and insightful individual. I have a genuine desire to get to know each client as a human being. I find it very easy to listen to others and am interested in solving personal problems. I like to observe and analyze people. In high school, my friends always confided in me about their problems because they saw that I was trustworthy.

The last few years have been especially challenging: COVID, changes in social structure, inflation and other unsettling issues. Do you find yourself with unsettling intrusive thoughts, confused and/or anxious? Do you feel stuck in life? Are depression and anxiety blocking you from living your life? Don't give up. You don't have to do it alone. We can do it together. There is significant strength in seeking support and guidance when you need it.

My aim is to provide a safe & supportive space for clients to explore and process their thoughts and emotions and to find clarity and healing through insight, self-love and compassion. In my practice I often work with individuals struggling with depression and anxiety and couples who are in pain. Often, our current struggles may be the result of trauma that we have suffered in our childhood and with our family of origin. Exploration of the past is the first step in freeing one from rigid thinking and enabling us to live in the moment and to enjoy the present.

You want to gain control of your life, improve your relationships with the people you love, be more productive on a day to day basis, and heal those past wounds that are holding you back from living the life you deserve. Whether it's depression, anxiety, shame, trauma, relationship issues, grief, substance abuse, addiction, chronic illness/pain, a life transition, or any other issue, there is no reason you have to go through any of this alone. Whether you are an individual, a couple, or a family, together we will overcome the obstacles that are getting in the way of your success and happiness in life.

Do you ever struggle with feeling like you’re not enough? Do you feel like you have to prove yourself? Do you feel stuck and triggered by childhood trauma? The symptoms of trauma include anxiety, depression, high conflict relationships, occupational impairment, addiction, and much more. I believe therapy can help you develop a more self-awareness and actionable plan to alleviate these symptoms. I specialized in working with people who are willing to explore past, present, and future challenges and to find tools for personal growth.

I am committed to helping people achieve a sense of happiness, health, and well-being and to maximize their potential in life. In our first session, we will explore the changes you want to make and together we will collaborate on a treatment plan designed to help you reach your goals. I see clients from age 16 to late adulthood for individual, couples or family therapy. I see people for a variety of issues and am especially skilled in working with families, older adults , executives, and other professionals. I'm skilled in many different types of evidenced based therapies.
