Teen Therapists in Long Beach, CA

Parenting problems? Perhaps you have a teen or child who is stressed and feeling anxious or sad? Do you want your child to thrive with more confidence, harmony and self awareness so they can live life and express themselves in an empowering way? I am a compassionate, creative and intuitive therapist here to illuminate your pain and transmute it into purpose and inner power. I also work with couples using the Gottman method. I help couples with relationship challenges such as infidelity, poor communication patterns and intimacy issues.

I enjoy working with young adult and adolescent clients and the age-specific issues that these groups commonly experience. It's so difficult to be at an age where you're expected to act like an adult but are still treated like a child - this experience can be confusing and breed feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. I work with my clients to help normalize these feelings and experiences as well as help them make sense of things in the world and within themselves through the transition from adolescence into adulthood.

Are you going through tough times and need someone you can trust to talk with? Are you looking for a non-judgmental confidential setting to explore struggles with a caring psychotherapist? You have found the right company. As the president of Waves of Peace Counseling services I have over 20 years experience. Our professional therapists also have many years experience conducting therapy and have seen great results. Together we can explore challenges you are struggling with and can work with you on developing solutions in a practical and empathetic fashion. The goal is to help make these challenges smoother and easier to cope with.

Money, vacations and good food can make us happy, but how long does this feeling last? Sustainable happiness comes from within, unobstructed by past injuries and external influences. When we operate disconnected from our inner wellbeing, we feel lost, unsatisfied, depressed, anxious...the list goes on. As your therapist, our purpose is to nurture and witness your journey back to your true essence and to facilitate a process that will lead you to a life of wellness and authenticity.

People are always saying that you seem to be doing ok but they have no idea how much you struggle! Ever since the terrible thing happened you have been distracted, irritable, having nightmares, and you cry at pretty much anything. You are the friend who will always be there for others, but often feel like you are losing yourself in the process. You just want to laugh more, have good relationships, get your grades up or get better at your job. You have hope that you can feel better, but right now you feel stuck because you really don’t know how.

Through a primarily solution focused lens, I have worked with a wide range of clients and positively impacted individuals, couples and families facing challenging circumstances. Personally I identify with the importance of finding meaning and cultivating purpose. Over the course of my career I have developed a niche helping men navigate the particular issues associated with manhood in today's world.

Whether you are a teenager or an adult, existential moments present themselves. Sometimes it takes the help of someone compassionate, yet straightforward, who is outside of the problem to help you find solutions. There is not always a clear cut answer to life's complex problems, but together we can prioritize and sort them out in order to achieve our goals. I work with both adolescents and adults in areas such as: trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.

Your teen or child is struggling with unwanted and intrusive thoughts, which create anxiety. There are strong urges to do something to get immediate relief, whether it be avoidance, a ritual, or a physical or mental action. They feel better in the moment, but it’s only temporary relief. This OCD cycle quickly returns and becomes a vicious cycle day after day and they are mentally and physically exhausted. It leaves this uncomfortable feeling of distress. OCD takes up up time, energy and space in their mind which makes it difficult to live in the present moment. You just crave long-term relief for your child.

I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based treatment to my clients. For therapy to be effective it is important to find a therapist who is the right fit for you. As a participant in the treatment process we work together to develop treatment goals that fit your unique needs.

I want to help You, your Teen , your Family, or your Relationship heal in a way that works for you. I’m an intuitive, hands-on therapist who will work with you to set your goals and to meet them by the end of therapy. We can work on finding Immediate Solutions or in exploring the Traumatic areas from your past. I understand the struggles people go through in relationships and how important it is to find somebody who will help you to learn new communication skills and how to achieve the happiness you want.

Are you going through a situation that seems unmanageable? I understand how sometimes circumstances may feel overwhelming or hopeless. I am here to support you in dealing with curve balls, whether you are struggling with issues such as a life-changing event, adolescent challenges or mental disorders such as depression, anxiety or addiction. My priority is to create a safe and trusting therapeutic environment so that you feel comfortable in order to create changes at your own pace. I believe it is important to understand you as a person - not only who you are today, but also learn your unique life story.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward becoming your best you! My name is Elliott Maruffi-Cowley, CEO of Best You Practice, LLC. For the past 13 years I have been fortunate enough to assist a diverse population with taking control of their lives. If you are interested in scheduling an appointment or for more information please follow the link bellow. I am currently providing counseling services online via tele-therapy to individuals and couples in California and New York.

My experience is in community mental health and private practice with clients experiencing a range of challenges with life, relational issues and victims of crimes since 2013. Also, I collaborate with DCFS when applicable. I meet clients "where they are in their journey" and serve as a support for individuals progressing through their unique process of self-discovery and realization. We work collaboratively to meet your needs and reach your goals. I draw from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality and Solution Focused Therapy.

Despite “having it all together,” life is hard. Living in a state of worry can make it difficult to catch your breath and enjoy life. It can be overwhelming to manage school, work, relationships and everyday responsibilities while feeling stressed. You're someone that wants to stop overthinking and you crave relief. You're hoping that one day you’ll be able to overcome the worries of everyday life and live fully in the present.

I love helping clients change the stories they tell themselves. It's powerful! And nothing is more powerful than actual proof. Sometimes it can look like, I’m stuck, I’m stuck, I’m stuck, and then a significant leap forward. A person suffering from anxiety and/or depression might be having a heck of a time just getting out of the house. Whether you’re a couple who's caught in a negative cycle and can see no way out, a teen who is struggling to develop their identity, or the creative individual who is certain the well of inspiration has dried up, no problem is hopeless and no suffering too great to be lessened.
