Therapists in Northridge, CA

Hello there! My name is Samantha Tallon and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), currently providing telehealth counseling services to clients in California. I have experience in managing relational issues and challenging family dynamics while working with adults, teenagers, couples and families. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and specialize in treating trauma/PTSD, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.

I believe in developing a healthy relationship with my clients to overcome life's challenges and reach their personal goals. The client goals are to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. The clients desire to have a healthy relationship, self-image, and self-talk.

My name is Tara Kesling and I have been working with many different populations for over 30 years. I have worked with individuals, families, children, seniors, and couples. I am currently offering Telemental Health Therapy services to adults. I am a good listener and able to help people redirect their life and feel better about themselves using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other clinical modalities. I have worked with the assessment process in determining the direction of care. I accept insurance through Headway.

I welcome most clients who desire enhanced mental dispositions. I work with toddlers, teens, adults, and seniors. I promote the most positive attitude in my practice and I share all of my talents in hopes of attaining the very best results possible.

I specialize in working with adult individuals who are challenged by a variety of issues including relationship issues, abuse and neglect, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and bereavement. I have a genuine interest in helping people improve their mental and emotional health to have meaningful and healthy lives and social relationships. We truly are social beings and we all have the natural ability to create and nurture healthy social relationships.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Career Coach with a passion for helping men thrive in their relationships with themselves and others. Barriers I can help you overcome include anxiety/stress, depression and adjusting to life challenges and relationship challenges, both at home and in the workplace. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and can incorporate Christian spirituality, upon request. Many years ago, I transitioned from a successful career in the corporate world to follow my calling as a therapist. It will be my privilege to help you as you journey to attain your desired goals and choices.

Sometimes in life, we "False Start" and are thrown off track. Rather its something that has happened to you... or something you have done yourself... the feelings of betrayal disappointment and guilt can easily cause one to lose their focus and find themselves stuck in a place of "Now What"... Allow Dr. Mark to equip you with the tools needed to overcome the hurdles of life and turn disappointment and adversity into opportunities.

You can overcome the challenges that you face today. Whether you are challenged by depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and/or another emotional health issue; counseling, specifically cognitive behavioral therapy, can help you overcome your mental health issues and transform yourself into the person you hope to become. I, Dr. Mark Sergi, have counseled adults, couples, and elders for over 20 years; helping hundreds of persons improve their emotional health and quality of life.

As you know, life can get hard – and we can all use some help when we encounter challenges in our lives. Therapy can be the catalyst to the change you want in your life. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, in doing so I strive to create a non- judgmental, comfortable atmosphere. The foundation of the therapeutic service I offer comes from a Humanistic lens, that is to say, my emphasis is on the whole person and uniqueness of each individual.

I provide psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults. I assess for multiple disorders including ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, depression, anxiety, etc. Depending on the outcomes of the assessment, I may also recommend educational consultation and/or educational counseling to help with any weaknesses or deficits that may be identified.

Feeling “stuck?” in a relationship? A job/career? Situation? Do people change? That is the question of the hour. Change is hard. We much rather stick with the familiar, than do something different. Because we already know what we know, we might as well stay in the familiarity which becomes comfortability, which leads to no change. Like Einstein's famous quote says, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." But change is not as easy as it sounds.

Choosing a therapist can be difficult and I want to make it easier for you. My life's mission is to help and I love my job. I really like helping people, all people and I firmly believe that everyone deserves help. I have over 25 years professional experience and when you are in my office you get all of that experience focused on you and your life. We can have sessions while hiking, walking, surfing, skating or biking if you choose. We have many options to utilize in the care that you receive and in the way you want to have it. So have it your way: I am here for you.

Helping clients realize their desired life changes is one of the most gratifying parts of my job as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Empowering people to live their best lives is my goal, whether my clients (an individual, a couple, or a family) are wanting to heal from pain, gain hope, or achieve something they perceive as out of reach. I approach everyone with compassion and understanding, without judgement. I am honored to be the person who gets to take this journey with others, and I look forward to taking it with you.

I offer psychotherapy with a touch of magic. I believe that talk therapy can bring healing in a short time. I treat people who have a variety of situations and I am deliberate in achieving better client outcomes. I use Social Psychology to examine the individual's struggles in dealing with the environment's demands especially during times of crisis. I recognize that stressful experiences can be spirituality exhausting to deal with and I can help you cope. I also use a Psychodynamic approach to explore the experiences of the past and change the present.

I assist clients in developing a clinical understanding of their emotions/behaviors in the context of their relationships with others. Assisting clients to understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings and responses helps them gain control over themselves and their environment. When life happens, and we are in the midst of chaos, our brain gets stuck and begins to believe that there are no options available; but sometimes we need a push, an emotional support, or just someone to talk to, to help us un-knot the chaos in our mind.Life skills are essential problem-solving behaviors that we need to manage our lives properly.
