Fact is, the past often gets in the way of living life to its fullest. Do you feel emotionally drained, empty inside with thoughts of self-loathing? Maybe you are consumed with shame over memories, behaviors or thoughts you cannot seem to control. Loss of sleep and an overall sense of irritability can overwhelm any sense of normalcy. This is not the real you-but how to get out from under it? Breakthroughs happen... when digging deep one needs an experienced hand to shine a light to help.

Life has a way throwing curve balls. From unexpected challenges to fluctuating deadlines, life sometimes causes us to feel like we are aiming for a moving target. Relationships are guaranteed to have pitfalls that can surprise anyone. Trauma often is the leftover when a home or society is not welcoming, when violence has been perpetrated on you, or when you are faced with overwhelming loss. You will need access to your internal resources when addressing past and present trauma. Living life with a centered mindfulness can help guide you to wholeness.

One of my goals as a grief therapist is to help people feel less lost in their pain. Grief and love are two sides of the same coin. When our loved ones die, it's like losing a part of our heart forever. The sadness, confusion, anger, and fear can feel like too much sometimes. I am here to listen, support, and walk with you on your grief journey. With time, connection, and compassion, you will not feel lost forever.

You know that you have the skills, creativity, and passion to have the career and life you envision for yourself. And yet, you feel overwhelmed and a little lost when it comes to trying to balance both. I offer immersive wilderness retreats, which are different from individual therapy. Wilderness retreats are a place where you can slow down and reset your intentions. Take a break from the demands of life and get in touch with your own voice and what you need, so you can return to your work, relationships, and life feeling calmer and more grounded.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

I've been a psychotherapist for over 30 years and have found that most relief from psychic pain comes from being kinder and gentler to ourselves. I'm practical, build on strengths, and help people stay focused in the moment to bring about change. Being able to appreciate one's self in the moment is a blessing and a grace often necessary to help us move forward. I work with individuals and couples, teens to seniors.
Gisela Vega
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I am a female immigrant psychologist who helps individuals experiencing self-doubt, anxiety, and stress to create room for joy, confidence, and wellness. I am very gentle in my approach, even when we work through painful and uncomfortable issues. It is important to me that I respect my clients’ pace in the journey. That’s why I actively look for feedback and adjust if needed. My clients usually seek me because of my cultural background, ability to connect beyond their preferred language, and commitment to their wellbeing.

I've been helping individuals and couples transform their lives for over 25 years and am the author of two books, Living Like You Mean It and Loving Like You Mean It. My overall objective is to help you experience meaningful change and achieve your goals in the least amount of time needed. Unlike more traditional approaches that focus primarily on talking, I help you have new emotional experiences that enable you to truly resolve core issues, move forward unencumbered, and, ultimately, have the life and relationships you really want.

What does therapy at Chrysalis Clinical Social Work look like? I will ask questions and listen to get to know both the real you and what you want most.

The belief that you are inadequate is a myth. I believe in looking for what is right with you. I am not the therapist who is going to merely sit back, listen and tell you what is wrong with you. Together we will find the gold of you, and walk the journey towards your most alive, most authentic self. We will have active conversations. I will participate. We will laugh here and there, because I’m a big believer in the healing power of humor. I will not tell you what to do or how to live, but I will help guide you toward your own inner-knowing.

My specialty is treating the broad spectrum of anxiety disorders including: panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, blood draw/injection phobia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), tic disorders, and Tourette's Disorder. I use a cognitive-behavioral treatment approach that has shown the best treatment efficacy for each disorder listed above.

I work with people suffering from anxiety and/or depression who wish to deeply explore what is behind the symptoms they are experiencing. I work best with people who need a space to be heard and want to be empowered in their treatment. If you are noticing patterns and themes in your life and are unsure about why you are unable to do things differently despite wanting to change, exploring your foundational experiences can help to get to the root of the matter. Sometimes coping skills and tools are not enough, and I am here to help. I am LGBTQ affirmative, sex positive, and work through a social justice lens.

I am currently seeing clients in California and New York and Florida States. I believe Psychotherapy is a collaborative venture that can help people lead a fulfilling life and maintain healthy relationships. In our work together my intention is to create a judgement-free space where I can understand your personal experience and nurture and support you in your journey towards authenticity and change. If you suffer with states of depression, anxiety, or loneliness, or you feel generally dissatisfied with aspects of your life, through our work together we can explore skills and tools that move you toward growth.

Sometimes during life's journey, you may need some compassionate, professional, confidential support in order to make the transition through difficult times more productive. I am available to meet with you in a scheduled, personal interview to assess the situation and discover possible solutions with you and resolve issues that get in the way of you being the best self you want to be. While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, talking with a trained professional helps alleviate emotional distress by learning better ways of coping, resolving past issues, improving communication.

Have you been putting up with half-assed relationships because it seems better than nothing? Have you been giving your all to everyone and everything around you and wondering when are you going to get something back? Do you look at yourself in the mirror sometimes and say I don't like myself anymore? Have you been noticing that the things that are most important to you get the least amount of time energy and nurturing?

Existing can be difficult. Tolerating the pressures of personal and societal histories can leave you feeling stuck; add figuring out meaning and purpose of life, and things get overwhelming. Using a straightforward, interactive style (with plenty of humor) I will assist you in bringing a new understanding to issues from the past that limit and color the present. I create a collaborative space where we make sense of all the unknowns of life; whether you are looking to heal shame, trauma, or heal anxiety or grief, I will help you can make the changes necessary to make living a bit easier and move through life with more grace.
Walk It Out Therapy
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
I love people and hearing their stories. Walk with me as I conduct therapy sessions outside (or in office if requested) as I believe putting our body in motion is connected to putting our mind in motion. I see individuals for one-on-one counseling sessions with the goal of guiding you to live your best life through listening, empathizing, and offering techniques to help you understand and reach your goals. I specialize in working with women ages 16-65 suffering from disordered eating, low self-esteem, anxiety, or navigating life transitions whether postpartum, divorce/marriage or career change. I look forward to speaking with you!

Associate Clinical Social Worker, ACSW

Understanding that you are the expert of your own experience, I believe if you are looking for clarity and/or support, then this is the time. I work with you to find what fits best in your life given your unique background. I actively collaborate with you to either bring up solutions or simply ask helpful questions that work towards sustained, meaningful self-awareness and growth. My goal is to foster a spirit of honest sharing in the room, a space where a person can express what is important and genuine, be it pain or joy.
