I understand how difficult it can be to find a therapist you can trust. I provide a safe environment where you can explore and overcome your challenges to heal from your experiences. I provide therapy with a warm and empathetic approach where you can process without feeling like you are being judged. My therapy style is integrative, as I understand that human beings are unique and there is no one size fits all therapy. My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, anger, addiction, disordered eating behaviors, and trauma. I also offer EMDR therapy.

When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help. Perhaps your or your significant other's past and unresolved issues are what is creating the distress; an inability to trust, to feel joy and happiness, to pursue dreams. It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

Have any of these thoughts ever crossed your mind? Setting boundaries is selfish. I don’t want to hurt the ones I love. I don’t have time to take care of myself the way that I’d like to. I don’t know what I’m feeling or why. I love my child and want our relationship to be better. These are normal thoughts for humans to experience. I hear these thoughts often and know how to provide support. I’m Samantha Haselroth, LMFT and I’m so proud to know you are taking the steps to support yourself or your child. I work with teens, young adults and adults to help them gain a better understanding and acceptance of their true self.

I specialize in evidence-based therapies with adults and couples experiencing role transitions, stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression. I often work with high-achieving people in demanding fields (e.g, physicians, attorneys, entrepreneurs) who are facing burnout or feeling overwhelmed with relationship or other life transitions and conflicts. I also have a background in health promotion and health behavior change.

Have you experienced something traumatic that is affecting you today? Are you feeling stuck in your healing? Maybe you're waking up in the morning feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the day ahead? Maybe you are feeling sad, depressed, hopeless about the future, and lacking the motivation to even get out of bed? Our experiences have a profound impact on the way we view the world and the way we experience our own emotions. Trauma wounds might be making it difficult for you to be present in your life, preventing you from connecting with loved ones or making it difficult to trust anyone, including yourself. Therapy is here to help.

It is often in the darkest corners of ourselves that we find the brightest hope. Love, joy and belonging start within us while pain and disconnection come from learning through adverse experiences to hide, deny, and reject who we are. By reconnecting with and learning to love our authentic selves, we can experience more inner peace and healthy relationships. Exploring the places inside of us we have long ignored can be scary, but it is not a journey we must embark on alone. Therapy has been a vital part of my healing. I hope to be able to share it with you.

Many blessings to you! I am a Harvard-trained healer and alchemist who helps transform deep unresolved issues from their core so we can transmute blocked energies to unleash the bottled up divine potential within us so our unique light can radiate brightly like the magnificent star that it is once again! My job is to be a catalyst for you to access your Divine potential. It is an honor to be on this journey of transformation with you.

I am a licensed Marriage & Family therapist, licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, certified PEERS instructor, and credentialed teacher. I have effectively taught social skills privately and in school settings to children, teens, and young adults with Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Depression, Bipolar, and Schizophrenia for over 20 years. In addition to social skills groups, I can provide one-on-one therapy to children, teens, and young adults experiencing specific concerns. I also provide mentoring/therapy services to parents with child rearing issues and concerns.

Struggling with your mental health can leave you feeling lonely, overwhelmed, and frustrated. My passion lies in providing sound care while meeting you where you're at and helping you reach your goals. I offer individualized and competent care for clients in California. While the majority of my professional experience comes from treating eating disorders, I also work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, and life transitions. You deserve to have a space where you feel understood and championed, and it is my goal to create that in our time together.

I have had an active clinical practice for over 30 years, specializing in marital and sexual therapy, anger and stress management. Clients see me as a competent professional and a person they feel comfortable with. I like to see couples who are motivated to improve their relationship and learn skills to be better partners. I am seen as quit balanced in my approach and ''down the middle" in terms of seeing things from both gender points of view. Because of this, many husbands participate in couples therapy with me that might otherwise not feel comfortable in therapy.

Flexible telehealth psychotherapy sessions from the comfort of anywhere in California. Perfect for busy professionals, students, and parents who struggle to find time to invest in themselves! I provide support in a convenient video call format which allows my clients to attend to life's unexpected challenges without sacrificing self-care.

I provide a collaborative, safe space for my clients to feel heard and supported as we work through life challenges, pain and confusion. I have a great deal of experience helping individuals deal with mental health and physical issues such as anxiety, depression, burnout, ADD, relationship issues, grief, loss, illness and life transitions. Young adults often need support with anxiety, self-worth, relationships and becoming equipped to achieve life goals. I enjoy helping couples feel understood, resolve differences, and re-ignite intimacy. I also offer life coaching to individuals who want to reach personal and career goals.

Are you going through internal struggle due to trauma? Do you feel anxious and depressed about the future? Do you struggle with family issues and relationship issues? I’m willing to meet you where you are, help you process unwanted thoughts and emotions, and help develop an action plan to effectively cultivate your healing and growth. I’m here to help you explore unresolved feelings (anxiety, depression, anger, helplessness, grief, etc.) and develop skills to effectively cope with them. Thus, you can feel relieved and fulfilled in your relationship with yourself and others.

Feeling stuck and constantly asking why you are feeling the way do? This is a question many of us ask ourselves when life gets hard. I have supported clients through a variety of life’s challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-harm/suicidal ideation, personality/identity issues, and trauma. Using a client-centered approach, I frame therapy as a safe and empathetic space for my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

I love to work with individuals who want to see lasting change in their life, relationships, and their life's purpose; who are tired of conventional talk therapy, and are ready for an alternative breakthrough approach. I believe people are waking up to the knowledge that all real change takes place in their subconscious mind where beliefs are held regardless of their fallacy. Our conscious will-power cannot sustain long term results, therefore people are opening up to the alternative view that our mind, beliefs and habitual thoughts make or break the results we seek after. Change is possible.

No one is born with a playbook for life, but you have the power to write your own. Some people I work with recognize that they feel anxious, depressed, possibly reliving trauma, or are generally unfulfilled, while others are not sure why they are unhappy, nervous, not enjoying life. I’m here to help you get more out of life. More love, more joy, more peace. Change isn’t always easy. I offer a space where you can explore your emotions, fears, anger, and experience new-found hope, plus get real solutions, and thrive!

"You look at me but you don't see me. What happened to us? Where are you when I need you?". Let's be honest: maintaining an intimate relationship is really difficult. Maybe things aren't going the way they used to and you wonder if things can get better or if your best days are already behind you. Perhaps you find your partner pulling away and it scares you. Despite your efforts to reach out and close the gap...nothing works. It's like bending over backwards just to feel a spark of intimacy and you start thinking "What's the point of staying in a relationship like this?". And it makes sense. But it doesn't have to stay that way.
