Toddler Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Would you like to make some small changes that will have a BIG impact on your family-or professional-life? Are you or your child experiencing stress and frustration dealing with friendships or family relationships? Are teachers and family members saying your child's behavior is out of control? Do you wish you could talk to your parent or child without yelling or always having it turn into a fight? If you do, I'd love to help.

I specialize in treating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and behavioral problems. When overwhelming experiences leave their mark, it can be hard to know where to turn for help. Memories, fears, distress, and frustration can take over, damaging our relationships, work life, and self-esteem. When our children are struggling with intense feelings, tantrums, or other behavioral problems it can be intensely frustrating and difficult to manage. By understanding the root of your distress together we can find new ways to cope, take action towards what you want in your life, and develop greater peace and happiness.

Are you wondering how to best support your struggling child? You may find yourself at a loss after reading and researching, wishing you could optimize your parenting intuition and do what's best for YOUR child. The infancy, toddler , and childhood years provide a unique opportunity for families looking to rise above old patterns, and I gently support you in taking hold of this moment to set your child up for a lifetime of mental and relational wellness. Rather than someone to fix your child, you need an expert who can empower you to guide your child through the challenges of life.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years in California. I am the Past President of the Los Angeles Chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. I am particularly interested in working with people who feel they've worked through a lot of their own personal issues and are interested in stepping out into life in a bigger way to make more of a difference in the world. If that sounds interesting to you, give me a call. Qualified people are invited to do a complimentary session with me to see if it makes sense for us to work together to realize your life goals.

I believe you're here for a reason, and that God has a purpose for you. Depression, anxiety, marital issues, eating disorders, and many other problems, keep us from living full lives. I became a therapist because I have a passion for helping people who are hurting, and want more out of life. I believe my greatest strength is helping people find the missing keys needed to make positive change. I believe I connect well with my clients by not judging them and by empathizing with their struggles. I am passionate about helping people find the happiness they're looking for.

"The purpose of therapy is to remove blocks to truth; to help you abandon any patterns of belief that no longer serve you in a productive way; to implement self-forgiveness. Therapy can alleviate suffering and open the door to peace of mind. It can assist in separating illusion from reality and even reality from truth. Finally, it can help you to learn to make your decisions from internal prompts because you have created an internal locus of control." From "A Course in Miracles" Most clients start noticing change in their perspectives, outlook and coping skills early in the process.

In life, relationships matter most. Connected relationships expand one's capacity for growth, self understanding and ability to form meaningful bonds. My work focuses on building relationships that deepen my patients sense of vitality, as well as their ability to see themselves and others more clearly. I will help forge new possibilities, and amplify courage and grit.

Transitions can create disconnect and emotional distress. Becoming a parent can be especially challenging. You may feel overwhelmed, burned out, or struggling to find joy. Your relationships may suffer, creating feelings of isolation and loneliness. Interrupted sleep and added stress make it hard to engage in daily life. You may carry guilt or shame as you struggle to fulfill the needs of those you love, leaving your own needs unmet. The transition to parenting young children may also mark a shift in identity, struggling to define who you are and how to remain you. Being a parent does not have to be so hard — relief is in reach.

I believe we all have the capacity to learn, grow, heal and create long-lasting change. We hold the innate ability to discover and realize our true potential and live an authentic life in line with our deepest values. I view therapy as a shared, supportive, compassionate journey that can help you tune into your authentic self, develop attainable goals and work toward sustainable, meaningful change.

I help you to be inspired by, not overwhelmed by your feelings. Understanding the good purposes of all feelings and their messages is important. If you find yourself “losing your temper”, not just around anger but around fear, sadness, and even joy (to the point of addiction or delusion) then I can help.

I specialize in sleep treatment. I work with people who struggle to turn off their minds at night, spend too long trying to fall asleep, or find themselves wide awake at odd hours. Some wake up too early, while others have trouble getting out of bed in the morning and feel sleepy throughout the day. Many have tried hard to solve their sleep problems without success and worry that medication is their only option. Others are taking medication that is less effective than it once was. I also specialize in treating recurring nightmares and bad dreams, whether they began after a period of stress or trauma or started out of the blue.

I work with a focus on the mind body connection through integrative Body Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness. By integrating the body, mind, and spirit in the process, my clients are able to find a connection to the origin of the problem. They are also able to find solutions.

I have been a child therapist for the past 20 years, I provide therapy for children ages 0-18 years old. Modalities that I have found to be helpful when working with the younger population are the following; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate Family Therapy (Family Systems), where I support families in creating intimacy through none-judgmental communication. I assist parents through difficulties, and challenges of parenthood.

I am a bilingual (Spanish) licensed psychotherapist who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and young children and their parents. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them understand the root of their symptoms and suffering so they can move forward in building the life and relationships they envision for themselves. Incorporating mindfulness and acceptance, I work to help individuals change relationships with painful thoughts and difficult emotions so they can fully engage in what is meaningful to them.

If you or your child suffer from OCD or other anxiety disorders, you're not alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness, yet most sufferers don't receive proper, evidence-based treatment. OCD/anxiety can cause problems socially, academically, professionally, and create chaos with family members. The good news is that there is help. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has repeatedly shown to be the most effective approach for defeating OCD and anxiety. CBT creates new neuro-pathways by changing the way you think and behave. It's basically exercise for the brain. The more you flex those brain muscles, the stronger you become.

Why your child does the same thing over and over again? Why your child insists on sticking to routines? If you have considered these questions, I have answers. As a Certified Autism Specialist (CAS), I have specific expertise in evaluation of neurodevelopmental disorders including Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Disabilities (ID).
