Mireya Corona - Anxiety And Trauma Therapy
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
I use EMDR to help creative people manage anxiety and heal from trauma. If you’re ready to let go of what’s been burdensome for far too long, I can support you. We can begin by addressing the worry, the over-thinking, and the tension. You can learn tools to calm the body and quiet the mind. Then we can address the hurtful memories and internal messages that weigh you down. That’s where we’ll use EMDR - a powerful approach to healing old wounds. If you’re ready to go deep in order to heal, let’s talk. My experience includes working with difficult childhoods/difficult pasts, multicultural, LGBTQ+, and spiritual issues.

Kristin F. Jones Affirmative Psychotherapy
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, MA, LMFT

How does your need for certainty play out? Does it force you to try to predict? Does it persuade you to declare things that you don't actually know? Perhaps the need for certainty is powerful enough to rob you of genuine moments with loved ones or with yourself. Research finds that people who take risks (those who step into the unknown) are happier than those who merely reach for reward or gratification. Why? Because healthy risk-taking has rewards sewn into the experience when we authentically try. It builds skills in self-advocacy, self-love and self-worth.

You sat down at your computer to find help, but you’ve been sitting there, immobile. Your body and emotions feel numb, almost paralyzed. Even though you’re stuck, you know it’s time to do something different. You’ve tried finding resilience in the things that used to help…but food, music, even relationships leave you feeling unfulfilled. At work, your inner critic shouts, “You’re a fraud!” Living in Los Angeles takes every ounce of energy you’ve got. And what’s the point if you can’t connect to your own inner strength? Is it even possible to have a genuine and joyful relationship with yourself?
