Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists in Malibu, CA

Neurofeedback works best supported by Somatic Therapy. Parvin's multifaceted somatic approach with hand-on sacrocranial work and background in clinical psychology is a perfect preparation and compliment to Neurofeedback. The focus of her work is on facilitating a more balanced, wholesome state in the brain. With a new level of functioning, clients have a chance to develop new habits and accomplish new goals. Typical training sessions last 90 minutes. Sometimes shorter 50 minute sessions with only neurofeedback are warranted.

My practice focuses on helping individuals, couples, and families who are suffering from emotional or physical pain or the aftereffects of trauma. We help them resolve the traumatic experience, as well as its consequences (e.g. physical pain, stress, disability, depression, anxiety, insomnia, medication dependence, isolation, etc.) Although many of our patients have not responded well to prior therapies, we've had outstanding success in helping them move from feeling a severe loss to finding a new and positive beginning. We love to work with people who are ready to change and eager to learn how to do it.

I treat substance use issues, PTSD, anxiety, mood disorders, interpersonal challenges, couples and families. In today's world, people from all walks of life struggle with the very real issues that come with just being human. Stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma are everyday experiences for many. How we deal with them often determines our capacity for balance, health and happiness. Therapy can be an effective tool for identifying and resolving such issues.

**Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom**~Aristotle~ If you're seeking self-understanding, your life's meaning and purpose--and how to make sense out of painful or unfulfilling patterns in relationships, I'm a psychodynamic therapist here to help. We'll explore patterns in your emotions, thoughts, and beliefs in relation to past experiences to gain insight. Insight plus action creates change. You aren't responsible for your early life emotional wounds, but you are responsible for your healing. I hope you'll reach out to begin the process.

We will work on exactly what you want to work on and engage the resilient amazing brain that you have in order to heal. We will work together to go back in time to finally heal and release the pain held inside. The result is feeling calm, grounded and centered, and much lighter and happier.

Seasoned trauma specialist & psychotherapist dedicated to co-creating a meaningful healing journey for individuals and couples who are feeling stuck, lost and trapped in dysfunctional patterns. I offer a variety of different modalities including Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to aid in the recovery of many common mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, addiction, etc. Additionally, I am committed to providing innovative programing as well as a practical skillset, specially designed to address personal limitations that often manifest in low self-esteem, relationship challenges and declined mental health.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to try and not perfect. I feel everyone has a story to tell and I love listening to people and learning about them as well as developing a plan. I tend to pivot and figure out what each client needs not what I want to do. I am trained in most cutting edge modalities so I like to give you the chance to see and try different tools. I love doing some experiential components. I work a lot with anxiety/depression and PTSD which are often the symptoms which often unravel other things.

Struggling with addiction and feel rehab isn’t an option? Leaving your family, job, school and responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy and on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard--feelings of fear, failure, guilt, and shame. You may have tried stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. Breaking this cycle alone is tough! Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

Trauma can be any experience that negatively impacts the way you feel or think or feel about yourself, others, or the world. Do you feel like sometimes you cannot control your emotions, thoughts, or reactions? This is your nervous system trying to protect you from a perceived threat. I can help you identify your triggers and process your trauma so that you don't have to go through life carrying it all with you. You do not have to live this way. Together, we can shed the burden. Everyone's journey is unique. The brain is complicated but there are many evidence-based techniques out there that can help us clear the path to happiness.

I have been honored to support many through some of the most significant transitions in their lives. Opening my career with a decade as a hospital clinician, I was especially drawn to the beginning and end of life, and the incredible privilege it is to be welcomed to hold space during these times. In my private practice, I specialize in grief and loss, particularly death and dying, and the emotional and spiritual work surrounding other transitions, rites of passage, and life cycles. This includes work around the end of life, pregnancy loss (including TFMR), traumatic birthing processes, and plant spirit medicine integration.

Hypnotherapy is an incredibly effective, fast-working solution to many mental health issues. With hypnosis, I am able to help you break through mental blocks and resistance so that you can work in harmony with your subconscious mind. Learn to expect positive outcomes, feel genuine trust that everything is working out for you, and experience greater levels of wellbeing. My clients have overcome anxiety, depression, binge eating, phobias, fear of public speaking, anger, pain management, and even unexplained physical ailments. Many of them are no longer just surviving, but thriving. Book a free consultation with me now!
