Marlene Flores
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
Throughout our life journey we face many challenges. Sometimes we develop old wounds from the past that do not let us live the life we deserve. Those old wounds we call traumatic events. Traumatic events can develop from our childhood experiences, past relationships, employment, near death experiences or the death of a loved one. Traumatic events can continue to affect us in our daily life from experiencing nightmares to repeatedly viewing an unsettling image in our mind.

Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.

Helen Park
Psychologist
Verified
My focus in working with clients is to explore what prevents them from having the quality of life that they desire. One of my core beliefs is that people do the best they can given the context of their lives and the support available to them. People are endlessly remaking or discovering themselves; therefore, my clients and I work together to deepen their awareness of themselves and how they function in their world (with family, relationships, at work, school, friends) by exploring their experiences. Over a period of time, these explorations lead to new perspectives, increased choices, and new behaviors.
Anne B Simpson
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD

One of the hardest challenges in life is discovering new paths to follow when you feel stuck. Issues below the surface of your awareness could be keeping you from finding answers on your own, and so you've taken this first important step of looking for a therapist to help you achieve deeper understanding. In a collaborative therapy setting, we can explore how clearly you see yourself and others, how you approach or avoid life-affirming possibilities, and how to break through the barriers to change that have been in your way. My priority as a therapist is that you feel fully heard and known as we take this journey together.

Finding the right therapist from a website is difficult, which is why I offer phone or in-person consultations. It takes courage to address challenges such as relationships, personal problems, or general unhappiness. Your success in treatment will depend on your readiness to open up and my authentic presence that will help create a safe space for you. Together we will work on identifying, experiencing and expanding your capacity to tolerate all ranges of feelings.

Donna Shanahan
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

If you are thinking about coming to therapy, chances are there is something going on that is prompting you to do so. Perhaps it is a stressful job or relationship; or you may be struggling with anxiety or depression. And, what may seem to be the "problem" on the surface could actually be related to something on a deeper level. As your therapist, I will work with you to try and understand what this deeper level is all about--all the thoughts, feelings and memories and the relationship they have to your current problem or situation.
Sarah H Eggers
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR, MFA
Verified
You are not the problems you are dealing with. The fundamental belief that guides my practice as a psychotherapist is that all of us are worthy, lovable and creative beings capable of thriving and sustaining meaningful relationships. But there are times when we may lose sight of that. Perhaps you have been functioning well for years, but something has happened to upset your equilibrium or temporarily overwhelm your ability to cope. Perhaps you have been harboring feelings of inadequacy your whole life. In either instance, I can help reacquaint you with your strength and purpose, and innate worthiness.

The first step to healing is the step you are taking now. Searching for the ‘right’ therapist can feel daunting. I believe the right match is so important to building the trust needed to have a successful therapeutic experience. I have been in practice since 2005 helping adults, adolescents and families.

Have you ever been lost in a dark forest? You may have felt helpless, out of control, very scared, or confused. Perhaps you suffer from anxiety, depression, and grief. If so you need someone to hold your hand and walk with you until you get home safely. When you are going through very painful suffering, your brokenness can lead you to discover how your childhood wound might affect your self-esteem and your relationships. I like to work with adult women who have been abused as a child, battered women (intimate partner abuse), and young adult women with childhood wounds.
Alex Schmidt
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
In my private practice, I treat issues of anxiety and panic, past trauma, and sexual dysfunction. While our past can sometimes weigh down our present, my clients and I work together to address, process, and move through issues that might hold them back. Identifying emotions, connecting them to the body, and developing resources to endure the more difficult experiences of life is a primary focus of our collaborative work.
Bree Erin Herzog
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA, AMFT

Language & words matter. We define ourselves & our worldview with our words. How do we talk to ourselves? Who or what does our inner-critic or inner-saboteur sound like? Sometimes the layers of “shoulds” in life make us feel trapped, but therapy can offer space to help untangle & deconstruct the “shoulds” to see where they are coming from. The story/stories we choose to tell ourselves & others - that we take to be true - are not always true, or may be distracting us from other possible truths. Noticing & highlighting less visible narratives that align with our truest values can open up new portals & even preferred ways of being.

Do you ever feel too overwhelmed to deal with everything you’re going through? If so, you're not alone. There are many others just like you who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health challenges at one point or another. Others need help coping with a serious illness, substance abuse, or major life transitions. Still others struggle to cope with relationship troubles, job loss, the death of a loved one, stress, or other issues. And these problems can often become "too much."
