Couples Counseling Therapists in Redlands, CA

Life is full of complexities, "messiness," as well as beauty, in relationships with others and especially with ourselves. As a culturally conscious therapist, I strive to create safe spaces for people to learn and figure out who they are, what they want and explore who they could be. All of this is addressed, without judgment, regardless of faith, gender, weight, culture, or race. I am deeply committed to helping individuals, couples , families, systems and institutions. Together, we move toward an understanding of what drives us to do the things we do, who we are, and ways to live to our fullest potential, with self, and others

Choosing to get help is a sometimes difficult and courageous decision, especially in these difficult times. As of March 2020, I have begun doing telehealth. I will try to help you to feel as comfortable as possible from our first contact. I know that the biggest compliment I can receive is to be told how “real” clients find me to be, and how understood they feel. I have been in practice in Redlands for more than 25 years, and I utilize various techniques, tailoring my interventions to meet the client’s needs. I believe that it is the relationship between the client and therapist that has the most to do with growth.

Life is a series of choices. Insight is vital, but lasting change happens when we do something different that is effective in building our self and a new perspective on life's possibilities. I am a Marriage & Family Therapist Associate I have experience providing therapy to children, teens, transitional aged youth, couples and families. My focus includes issues such as grief, loss, trauma, coping skills, education and emotion management. I believe that different people respond to different interventions and am comfortable with a diverse approach to nurture change.

If you need help now, I am here for you and will offer relief of painful symptoms. My clinical focus is on personal growth, challenges with anxiety and depression and spiritual questioning. I have a proven method for finding the root of every life challenge. The goal for all my clients is for each and every one of them to obtain total peace and clarity for themselves.

Here you will find a compassionate & authentic space in which you learn to more deeply connect with yourself (and others), so you can finally discover what's behind your typical “knee-jerk reactions” & why your “go to” coping strategies seem to cause more distress than the original problems! Then we'll make meaningful shifts to uncover new and healthier ways to approach life and relationships. Clients often come to me for help with a broad range of concerns, like: trauma, anxiety, depression, pain, existential malaise, creative blocks, infertility challenges, grief, & family/ relationship drama and communication difficulties.

Dr. Snyder enjoys working with adults and youth struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and other adjustments to new situations. Dr. Snyder believes that therapeutic interactions help to create greater self-awareness and understanding of the ways unresolved issues from the past may be influencing present thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. While Dr. Snyder tends to work out of a psychodynamic modality, she integrates other therapy modalities to meet the unique needs of each individual patient.

I value the importance of creating a safe, supportive and collaborative environment to help facilitate personal growth and healing from the overwhelming challenges we sometimes face in life. Pain is part of our human experience. However, suffering does not have to be. My focus is to provide my clients with practical and effective interventions that are tailored to their specific needs. My clinical practice is highly informed by principles of neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology and evidenced based psychological interventions. My aim is to assist, encourage and empower my clients on their path forward in reaching their goals.

Here to listen. Not to judge. Let me help you find hope, regardless of your situation. We can together uncover what is underneath any pain or challenge through dialogue and understanding. My background is both professional and personal, having both faced many challenges myself and professionally supported others to find peace. Taking the first step is often difficult, but I promise to make the journey as comfortable as possible. Nothing to lose, and much to gain.

If you find yourself in a codependent relationship with either a partner , friend, or family member, it’s time to seek help. Codependent relationships are often a result of unresolved trauma. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to process your experiences. We’ll dig deep and get “real.” My approach is collaborative and depth-oriented – I don’t just sit back and nod and smile. I’ll go deep with you and empower you to create healthy boundaries in relationships that will ultimately increase your confidence and allow you to live the life you want to live, free of people-pleasing.

Do you self-sabotage? You work very hard to get ahead, strive for success and accomplish goals that you desire. Meanwhile, another part of you criticizes, punishes and demeans everything you’re working hard for. Is it a constant battle between what you want to accomplish, how you want your life to be and that harsh critical voice inside your head? That voice is a big part of your depression, anxiety and addiction. You are not alone and you are not hopeless and doomed to repeat this cycle over and over. I understand that voice and I want to help you find freedom from it.

Hi my name is Alma, I am a bilingual (Spanish) licensed marriage and family therapist, who is passionate about helping people overcome difficulties they are facing in their lives. I help my clients learn new tools to manage anxiety and depression to live a more fulfilling life. My style is warm, empathic and non judgmental meeting client’s in whatever season in life they find themselves in. I provide my clients with a safe place in which they can explore their struggles freely, learn new skills, discover their natural strengths and use them to change what is no longer working in their lives.

Creating a safe and affirming space for my clients is a priority for me. I firmly believe that self-growth is a process that takes time, intent and most of all self-love. I help my clients develop SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Based) goals as part of recovery.

I believe the most influential part of the therapeutic process is the relationship between the client and therapist. I could continue to go to school, and put more letters behind my name, but that won’t mean anything if my clients don’t feel safe, connected, and comfortable. I believe that all of us, at any point in time, can become “stuck.” I welcome your calls to see if we will be a good fit, to travel through your personal navigation for growth, healing, and empowerment.
