Therapists in Long Beach, CA

I enjoy working with adults and couples from the diverse background. I specialize in working with API clients struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, unresolved past trauma, marital/relationship challenges, navigating identity, life transitions, grief, and intergenerational trauma. I specialize in helping interracial couples to repair/improve their connection and communication. I'm bilingual with English and Japanese, and can offer sessions in either or both languages. I understand how the interplay between our cultural identity and family background can play an important role in our experience of the world.

I specialize in healing past traumas and resolving underlying core issues that may be keeping you feeling stuck. I do this by providing a supportive, caring and non-judgmental environment that I believe is needed to work effectively on personal and interpersonal struggles. Together, we will develop meaningful goals to reach your desired outcome and live the life you want. My style is direct, warm, engaged and interactive.

What is your path, your desires or even your stressors? Maybe it’s time for you to find out your inner strengths and unleash the greatness that is inside of you. We go through life with thoughts and beliefs that keep us stagnant and demotivated. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, marital issues, childhood trauma or other mental health issues? Maybe you’re in the winter years of your life and feel helpless, unneeded or a burden to your family. Well, if any of these things resonate with you, it’s about time to seek a therapist that can work alongside of you to reach your goals.

Perhaps you are feeling anxious, sad, or “stuck.” You may be struggling with a transition, such as becoming a new parent, starting a new job, coping with a loss, or adapting to life after a difficult medical diagnosis. Or, perhaps you find yourself overwhelmed by fear and negative feelings for no apparent reason at all. If any of this sounds familiar to you, residual, unprocessed feelings from the past may be holding you back from living the life you desire. At Onward Healing, we specialize in using online EMDR therapy to help you heal the wounds of your past, to enrich your experience of the present, and to clear a path onward.

I am passionate about helping individuals connect with their authentic self and form more consistent, secure, and healthy relationships. People often come to me when they experience symptoms of anxiety or depression, secondary to some form of relational trauma. Sometimes relational trauma may involve abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Other times, relational trauma can be more subtle, such as a series of misattunements from a partially-absent caregiver, sibling bullying, or unhealthy friendships/ romantic relationships. By healing relational wounds in therapy, you are making a long-term investment in deep, meaningful, growth.

Do memories of past traumas keep getting in the way of the life you want? Do you feel anxious, on-edge, and worried about the safety of yourself and/or your family? Do you try to hide your thoughts and feelings, because other people won't understand? Even though you're trying to manage it on your own, has your anger and isolation started to impact your relationships/family? If you feel this way and you are ready for a change, trauma-focused therapy can help you recover from the past and move forward with your future. Please know that it is possible to heal from trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder!

If you are experiencing struggles with managing day to day stressors and keeping up with life expectations, you would benefit from addressing your personal challenges through therapy. You may not understand why you’re feeling a specific way or you continuously have memories, which you’d rather not have or perhaps find yourself having intrusive thoughts. If you have found these things to be an issue for you, I can support you in finding peace of mind.

I have worked with adults and adolescents dealing with many issues ranging from anxiety and depression to bullying and identity issues. I have over seven years experience on the suicide hotline.

Are you dealing with loss? Do you want to explore your racial/cultural identities? I can help. I personalize treatment based on your individual needs and goals. I acknowledge your courage to invest in yourself and prioritize your wellness. In a supportive and safe environment, we will explore and address your issues and experiences. I will assist you in reaching your goals that align with your values.

I work with many people who feel overwhelmed--by traumatic events, or simply when modern life, feelings or relationships are "too much". Some tried regular talk therapy, but their symptoms didn't shift. This is often because the stress response is stuck in the body. This can show up as PTSD, anxiety, depression, low motivation, panic attacks, substance abuse, eating disorders, etc.My clients learn what their bodies are trying to tell them and how to stop symptoms & support healthy well-being. I have a knack for working with unusual or "out of the box" folks.

My name is Ani Harutyunyan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker having earned my Master of Social Work Degree from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from California State University Northridge. I am a member of NASW and a Certified Cognitive Behavior Therapist. I provide individual, family, couples, and group psychotherapy to adults. Psychotherapy is both a helping relationship and a process of change, which overcomes challenges and increases happiness.

I consider it an honor to develop a relationship with you and walk beside you on your journey to exploring your darkest corners and bringing some light into your shadows. For 14 years, I have been in the field of recovery and addiction. I have personal and professional experience with addiction and I am familiar with most types of recovery. Inpatient treatment can be expensive and is not appropriate for everyone. I can support you in making an informed decision in how to best treat your addiction without the sales pitch and get you and your family the help you need.

It's my goal to create a safe, loving, and nonjudgmental place where you can openly and honestly talk about things you may not even talk to your friends about. The goals of my work are to assist you in resolving conflicts and becoming more self-aware. It is my belief that each of us has the inner resources we need to resolve our issues and together we will uncover solutions to fit your individual situation.

I provide psychotherapy services to clients to help them explore their lives and find meaning in their relationships. I work to empower and encourage clients to be more self-aware, explore their feelings, and improve their ability to navigate their experiences. I like to explore a variety of therapeutic modalities to find what best suits each client as every client is different and one size does not fit all when it comes to treatment. I like to listen to my clients and ensure that what I'm hearing is what they are saying. I also like to let them know they have choices, especially since it's their well-being that we are discussing.

We all face obstacles in our lives that, at times, impact our ability to connect with others & attend to daily responsibilities. When we find ourselves in this place, it can be incredibly beneficial to engage in self-exploration with someone who can offer new perspectives & remind us of our greatest assets. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of change through connection. As such, I am invested in working collaboratively with you to create a strong therapeutic relationship that is rooted in transparency & mutual trust. I am a clinical psychologist and have been providing individual & group psychotherapy to adults for over 8 years.

I imagine you are seeking support for one of life's challenging transitions. In the work we do together you will find compassion, warmth, a dose of humor and directness. As a Family Therapist in private practice for over 37 years I am passionate about helping you in a nonjudgmental and supportive way identify and work to resolve the issues that brought you into therapy.

Are you striving to live your best possible life (who isn't) but finding it just "out of reach?" I specialize in working with accomplished professionals in the law, medicine and finance as well as in the LGBT community who are trying to balance the personal and professional. My unique background in psychoanalysis, mindfulness and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) allows me to help you make profound changes and lead a more balanced, fulfilling life. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, relationship issues or spiritual confusion, let's move your life back in a direction that you value.
