Kaiser (Out-of-Network) Therapists in Palmdale, CA

Life is challenging and it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated, and burned out. You do not have to face this alone and talking to someone can help reduce the unpleasant feelings and clear a path to accomplish goals, reduce stress, and improve future circumstances. The objective of therapy is to create a safe, non-judgmental space to help explore, process, discover underlying needs and emotions that contribute to feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Ultimately, our work together in therapy will be to create an individual plan with goals to help you in managing these emotions and regaining control of your life.

These stressful situations can result in overwhelming emotions ranging from sadness, to fear and anger. Therapy can be a safe, non-judgmental place to help you explore these issues, unlock your inner-wisdom and identify key skills to help you manage difficult situations.

Our mission is to provide quality online mental health and substance abuse services while breaking down the barriers of traditional, office based therapy. Traditional mental health and substance abuse treatment tends to focus on what makes you sick, what you are lacking but at The Mindful Lemon, our clinicians let you sit in the driver’s seat, focusing on your strengths and assets to help you become the best version of you! This can be via traditional talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness techniques, an emphasis on health, wellness and fitness or any combination of the above.

Are you struggling with overwhelming feelings and thoughts? Are you having a difficult time managing life stressors? Do you feel like no one understands you, your pain, or your journey. Do you feel stuck and need someone to help you find your way? Allow me to encourage, inspire, and guide you into recovery and healing.

As we move through different life events, we are all bound to find ourselves needing help and support in time of turmoil. My goal is to help you feel supported, validated, and heard as you work through traumas, concerns, or worries.
