Most of the people I work with are told they need to be different than they are. Sometimes they get that message explicitly, always they get that message in the way people treat them. Therapy with me doesn’t aim to make you different. We’ll work to help you navigate the world while being healthy and fully you. Specific issues my clients are navigating include: being outside the gender binary, being non-monogamous, being neurodivergent (mostly autistic and ADHD), or being deep in grief.

I am a licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with extensive experience in providing treatment for children, teens, and young adults who exhibit social, emotional, and behavioral concerns consistent with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, anxiety, depression or emotion dysregulation.

Hello. I'm Julie Cicileo, an LCSW in Long Beach, CA, with over 30 years’ experience counseling individuals and couples. I'm glad you've reached out for help. Are you feeling irritable, anxious, angry? Do you sometimes find yourself saying things and/or reacting in ways you later regret? Are you short-tempered, resentful and unreasonable? Or are you living with someone who has these issues? Do you feel something is “wrong” with your relationship but can’t identify the source? I specialize in counseling for adults with relationship and addiction issues.

Adulting is hard! You might feel overwhelmed with balancing work and home life, causing you to forget to care for yourself and your body’s needs. Sometimes, you might even turn to emotional eating or binge eating to deal with all the stress life keeps throwing at you and feel too ashamed to talk about it or seek support from others. But don't worry, we understand! My name is Keesha Clark, and I have dedicated my life's work to helping women and Black and BIPOC individuals improve their body image, heal their relationship with food, learn to prioritize self-care and honor their body’s needs.

I believe the answers to most of our life questions come from within us. Therapy provides you with a safe, non-judgmental, supportive space for you to better understand yourself, where you’re at, where you want to be, and how to get there. As a therapist, my role is to help you navigate through these processes using a client-centered, strength-based approach. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, and those experiencing life transitions.

Are you struggling with perfectionism or feeling like an outsider? As a therapist, my mission is to create a safe, trusting environment where you can be comfortable to examine yourself and your relationships. I understand opening up can be intimidating, so we'll build a strong foundation of trust together by finding ways to understand where you’re coming from and what you need.

Welcome to my practice. I have about 15 years of clinical experience and have been featured on NBC/KCAL/HLN as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

I currently only offer online and in-home therapy. When we are in the midst of crisis we can question our abilities to overcome. Like quicksand, these self-defeating thoughts pull us even deeper into despair and we may become seduced by seclusion. Instead, I believe we should strive to accept our struggles as the catalysts that can bring us into closer connection with others and thus be more empowered to overcome. My practice of therapy involves helping people realize that to struggle is not unique and that connections with others during those times can be the difference between surrendering to weakness and reclaiming your strength.

“It’s very important to realize that the inner child is still there, caught in the past. We have to rescue him," quote by Thich Nhat Nanh. The inner child lives within all of us. It is the part of us that feels emotions, is lively, curious, and creative. Hidden under our adult personas, the inner child holds the key to intimacy, recovery from addiction, physical and emotional well-being, and the creativity and wisdom of our inner selves; our true selves.

I offer online and in person therapy, working with issues related to sexual addiction, intimacy, anxiety and trauma. I also have a background and passion for working with adolescents with histories of involvement in the criminal justice system.

Are you dealing with a sex or porn addiction? Are you the partner of a porn or sex addict and dealing with the trauma? Has your life become unmanageable and are you overwhelmed? I provide individual, couple, and group therapy to help you and your partner work through sex and porn addiction issues.

Are you struggling with growing into the next chapter of your life? Maybe your family's expectations don’t fully match your experience, or you’re having trouble finding ways to express your own pain and disappointment. It's common to try to just avoid thinking about it. We hide it from others, and in turn we are alone in all the mess and chaos and don’t know the way out. I specialize in creating a non-judgmental, comforting space for you to understand yourself compassionately and heal some that pain.
