Sports Performance Therapists in Monrovia, CA

I help individuals and couples understand and overcome barriers that get in the way of living a meaningful and fulfilling life; this can include professional, emotional, or interpersonal challenges. My approach draws on narrative and cognitive based principles, that value the understanding of how our experiences, self-awareness, and relationships impact how we cope with life. I believe the process of therapy is one that encourages collaboration and curiosity, and in doing so creates a hospitable environment to explore a variety of life experiences and achieve a healthy life balance.

You know something isn't working in your life, and you want to figure out what's holding you back. Not a temporary band-aid, you want to get to the root of the problem. I work with adults and couples who want to live life to the fullest -- but find obstacles in their thoughts, feelings, relationships, or experiences in their past. Together we'll confront these obstacles at your pace, without judgment.

If you are overwhelmed, lonely, worried, having panic attacks or PTSD triggered, it can be helpful to talk to a therapist who allows You to focus on Your needs exclusively & process your challenges. Either In Person or Online therapy can provide a safe haven & provide a healthy connection. Covid may be a catalyst to seeking therapy or you may want to take advantage of this time to focus other aspects of your life such as past trauma, your approach to relationships, conflict at work or how you care for yourself. Practicing since 1997 & constantly learning, I am qualified & experienced to help you overcome mental & emotional blocks.

Promoting growth and change in children, adolescents, and families, I provide individual and family therapy, consultations with schools and parents, group therapy, and assessment / testing. I work primarily with clients experiencing attention problems, behavior difficulties, disturbances in mood, or conflict with family members.

Distracted. Lonely. Confused. Sound familiar? Are you your own worst enemy? Has indecision or a "dumb" choice messed up your career, school or personal growth? Do you agonize over decisions? Or are plagued by critical thoughts? You may ask, "Why is this so difficult?" But, you want help. But, you want more than being asked, "How does that make you feel?" You want someone who gets you, gives honest feedback, and offers tools to take ownership of your life. So, let's have a conversation to start moving your life forward.

The client who is a good fit for psychological services offered in our practice typically present with history of stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and/or chronic mental illness that hinders his/her performance at work, school, or personal life.

I entered into mental health and psychology for one main reason: to be of service. The human condition is complex and nuanced, and my approach is to tailor-make my assistance and interventions in the therapy room so that it is specific to the needs of the person sitting across from me. Regardless of what your goals are - to improve your relationships, garner a deeper sense of self-understanding, to surmount tangible/specific problems, or to simply explore and uncover blind spots, I can offer support in those endeavors while helping to usher in lasting change and foster resilience.

If you’re looking for connection, growth and relief from life’s difficulties, you’re in the right place. The stress of life, transitions, traumatic events, and relationships can sometimes push us off balance and make us feel stuck, hopeless or overwhelmed. Facing these experiences alone can intensify these feelings. I bring a warm and calm presence to psychotherapy, inviting you to slow down and tune in to your inner world with curiosity and compassion. It's my hope that you will leave our work not only with a greater sense of peace and clarity, but also the ability to connect to your inner-strengths to promote long-lasting change.

Hello, my name is Estrella Ramirez-Robles. I am an LA native who loves everything Dodgers, Lakers, and Chargers (yes still a Chargers fan even though Rams won the Super Bowl), and who does not shy away from trying new foods, exploring the world, and saying NO to things that will not make me happy. I am a coffee lover, professional dog snuggler, and someone who is an introvert at heart but an extrovert by profession.

My passion is psychological healing and growth. I believe everyone has the innate potential to live full, satisfying, and self-actualizing lives with hope, joy, and meaning. I want to help people change and grow in an environment that is open, safe, and non-judgmental. Compassion and authenticity will help people grow and feel whole. I primarily use an integrative approach, incorporating multiple therapeutic approaches and drawing on a variety of techniques and interventions as needed. I, however, gain my principal inspiration from solution-focused and humanistic modalities.

Everybody needs somebody in the corner ring with them as they go out into the world and fight for the life they want and deserve!

I will share tools & resources from a framework that honors Empathy, Compassion, Humor, Creativity, Wellness, Mental Health, Integrative Medicine, Positive Psychology, and Spirituality to help decrease your suffering and increase joy, motivation and life fulfilment.

The concept of "self-improvement" can be empowering, but also intimidating. In a problem-saturated world, it can be easy to define ourselves as our problems, instead of looking at them as operating forces that can then be explored.
