Trauma Focused Therapists in Redlands, CA

Hi! My name is Erika Hernandez. I am a Marriage and Family therapist licensed in California and Utah. I have experience in the areas of trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. My passion is working alongside my clients, which includes adolescents and adults, to help bring healing to those who have been through a traumatic or stressful experience.

As parents, we always want our children to be healthy and happy and right now, it is a particularly challenging time for many. Our passion is to work with children/teens to help with emotional, behavioral and relational challenges. We can work on a variety of areas such as suicidal thoughts, cutting, child abuse, bullying, trauma, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Individual therapy will offer your child/teen an opportunity to discuss problems one-on-one with a trained specialist. The therapeutic bond is formed through both talk and play therapy (sandtray, toys, art, puppets, role playing and games).

If you are adjusting to a life change, challenged by conflicts within relationships, making a big life decision, hurting emotionally, or dealing with your own or another family's member's mental health diagnosis, I am a professional and empathetic resource for you.

Navigating the mental health system is not an easy task. I believe therapy should be a space to feel safe and heard regardless of your life experiences, and that your culture and identity are important to celebrate and integrate into therapy.

Therapy can be scary. I'm here to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment to more freely explore the things that are bothering you, and help empower you on the path to figuring it out. My style is very client centered and although I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), my therapeutic approach varies depending on the needs of my client. You're in the driver's seat, and we can take this as fast or slow as you want to.

Do you have a history of trauma or stressful life events? Are you feeling stuck, anxious, angry, or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to be the type of employee, partner, or parent you hoped to be? Many of my clients tell me they are having a hard time feeling safe, confident, content and satisfied in their life. They find themselves not fully present or able to enjoy the positive moments and connections in life. If you have been feeling this way, it could relate to trauma or life stress. If you have experienced grief, losses, or a traumatic experience, you can learn tools and begin specialty therapies to help manage these feelings.

Seeking therapy for the first time or starting work with a new therapist can feel like an intimidating task. My goal is to make therapy a safe and comfortable place where both the client and therapist can be their authentic selves. I am a firm believer that change happens within a positive therapeutic relationship in which we collaborate to reach the solutions and life changes you are looking for. Each one of us is on our own personal journey, it is my goal to meet you where you are at and help serve as a guide as we work together to help you reach your personal goals.

“Be tough, just deal with it, don’t show weakness.” Has life become unmanageable to the point where depression, anxiety, addiction or all 3 have taken over? Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. So often in our lives we experience pain and distress. So often we are unprepared to handle the circumstances we are presented with. Pain affects us all, but suffering doesn’t have to. During therapy you will gain the necessary tools to tolerate stress, build resilience, balance life, and reduce the impact of negative core beliefs.

I would summarize my professional perception as always seeing the good, seeking to understand, and have an ability to guide clients to reframe their thinking and perceptions to better themselves rather than defeat themselves.

Do you suffer from anxiety, relationship/intimacy issues or addictive behaviors? Hi my name is Kirsten Cathell Boulton, LCSW, and I am trained in EMDR trauma release therapy. I provide compassionate holistic services. I come from a spiritual perspective and I believe that people are already equipped to unlock their own solutions with empathetic guidance and support.  I guide individuals and families toward experiencing healing and transformation. I look forward to hearing from you!

As a parent, it's so hard to watch your teen or young adult struggle. You know they're capable of so much, yet they seem to be sidelined by lack of energy, confusion about who they are, and an inability to see a bright future for themselves. I enjoy working with teens and young adults who struggle with tackling life. I'm skilled with helping young adults and teens who feel “stuck” – they know they're capable of so much, but they just don’t know where to start in making the life of their dreams happen. I know how to work with young people so that they gain much needed direction and confidence to allow them to soar!

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.

Accepting new clients; superbills available. I enjoy helping people heal and move forward, despite challenges in life. I am empathetic and highly trained. I have experience working with young adults/adults, and couples. I apply a Client Centered approach, CBT, DBT, REBT, Post Modern, Existential, & Psychodynamic- dependent upon needs. I am passionate about therapy and have been practicing for eight years. I have also been a contractor for A&E’s “Intervention.” Additionally, I practice the specialty of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
