Elders (65+) Therapists in University, Riverside, CA

Have you been experiencing feelings of disconnect in your relationship? Do most of your conversations end with feelings of rage and disengagement? Being in disconnect with our loved ones can have a drastic toll on our daily life. This can create feelings of dejection and hopelessness that may lead to questioning if this is all worth it? Is it meant to be? Or would it be easier to walk away? Finding yourself in this negative cycle can be exhausting and emotionally draining. You may be at your breaking point, but hope is not lost and I’m so glad you’re here! I am looking forward to walking alongside you through this troubling time.

Negative experiences are difficult to let go. I know this from the lives I’ve been privileged to be a part of through my work, and my own personal occurrences. They can bother us now, and worry us. They can hold us back in the future. This is not something we have to learn to be okay with and accept. Reaching out for support can be difficult and I want you to know that your efforts are not overlooked. It demonstrates your strengths. I am honored that you are reaching out to me so that you don't have to experience what you're going through alone.

Do you struggle to feel connected to your loved one? Have you ever wanted your romantic partner to be there for you and felt discouraged because it seemed impossible, or like they couldn't show up for you in the way you truly needed? This sense of disconnect can lead to feelings of helplessness and frustration that seem to never end. A negative voice might speak up and tell you it's time to give up and walk away from your relationship altogether, which sounds more and more tempting as time goes on. But there is always hope! You are here on my profile for a reason, and your relationship can improve!

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression? Is it keeping you from doing the things that you love and functioning the way that you want to? Is it creeping up on you when you least expect? Or are life's struggles too hard to carry on your shoulders, too much to keep on going? At times, these issues are there and intended for us to process through, to overcome the challenges and know how to have coping skills and tools to battle them again in the future. Trauma is no different, and as it holds you back from doing the things you love, learn how to stop that cycle, and take control of it.

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.

As a Christian therapist, the well-being of you and your family is very important to me. Over the past 35+ years of counseling I have seen a variety of conditions that harm individuals and their relationships. Though these issues can be painful and complex, there are basic underlying principles, that when properly grasped, unleash healing that lasts a lifetime. This kind of healing does not begin with psychological tools and techniques, but with changes in the heart that only God can create. For this reason, letting go of unforgiveness, fear and pride is essential to healing that lasts.

I believe everyone has the ability to become stronger, even in the face of great challenges. As a therapist, I provide an open and affirming space for my clients to explore what makes them strong and resilient. In my practice, I seek to create a safe and warm environment to heal and create lasting change. I am a passionate listener and use empathy as a tool for helping my clients realize their true potential. While I often challenge my clients to delve deeply, I recognize that everyone has different needs and comes to therapy with unique circumstances.

I am a generalist who works with adult clients on a variety of different issues including depression, insomnia, anxiety and panic, PTSD, anger, relationships, parenting, and many other concerns. I also conduct bariatric and spinal cord stimulator pre-surgical evaluations.

We as human beings are impacted by the experiences of our lives even from before birth to present. Sometimes, some of these experiences are so destructive that make us feel trapped, without knowing what to do. In turn, these feelings negatively alter the way we relate to others and ourselves and produce symptoms of depression; anxiety; insecurity; panic attacks; and compulsive, controlling, aggressive or abusive behaviors. All these symptoms are defensive reactions and indicative that something, deep inside us is not well and that we need help.

I offer support, reorganizing, and reimagining life for those coping with chronic illness, dementia, and losses of all kinds. If you need help getting through grief that's what I do. For the time being I am online, where I meet clients and lead grief and dementia groups. My grief groups are 8 weeks, focused on working through the loss, and getting you to your new life. The dementia group is the 3rd Saturday of each month at https://www.facebook.com/Riversidedementiasupport/- and it's free of charge. I approach life, and therapy looking for the joy while managing the tough times- not letting them manage life. Call to see me.

Masters of Counseling & Professional Clinical Counselor. I'm a general practitioner working with PTSD, Depression, Anxiety/Stress and its related issues, OCD, Trauma, Addictions (both substance and process) recovery and Spiritual Issues. I work with adults, couples/relationships. I graduated from the Counseling program of Western Seminary in Portland Oregon and work from a Judeo-Christian faith perspective. I believe in joining you where you are at and in working towards your goals and helping to overcome your challenges and struggles; to begin to think and act in integrity toward the person you want to become.

You are an intelligent person, and you are keenly aware of what is not working in your life. The stresses you are dealing with are overwhelming the the skills you have to cope with them. You need to learn new ways to manage these problems, and you probably need the confidence and encouragement to try something new. I know it's in you, and it's time to try something new.

I am very passionate about your well-being, empowering you to heal, and encouraging self-confidence. There are times in life you need that listening ear, someone to understand, have compassion, empathy and support you on your journey to well-being. It is not uncommon to experience struggles that need extra support. Your mental health is an essential part of your life. My objective is to help you identify your challenges, unhealthy pattern and find new ways to cope with life stressors and situations. Let work together in balancing your emotions and creating a better tomorrow.

Sometimes we can start to feel overwhelmed by life. Various triggers such as identity stress, loss, life transitions, traumatic events, anxious feelings, and relational conflict can start to feel unbearable. This can make carrying on day to day activities very challenging. Whether or not you recognize these behaviors in yourself, your children, or your family as a collective, we can work collaboratively towards addressing your unique needs. You are not alone in this. Today you are one step closer to a more authentic you where you feel empowered and on a path to positive growth and well-being.

Do you feel trapped? Burdened by your thoughts, feelings, or memories? Do you feel like nobody understands you? You do not have to feel that way anymore. I can help you get free of these weights you carry. To a place where you no longer feel like you are “just getting through the day.” Into a life where you are not triggered by your past, agitated by your present, or terrified of your future. You do not have to suffer in silence any longer.

Dr. Jasmine Board believes that it is important to be an advocate for the clients and also help the client’s become advocates for themselves. She wants to be able to help the clients find what triggers them (Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Substance use, etc.) and help them find peace and other solutions to overcome any mental health issues. She has experience working with various populations.

I believe that we are spirit, soul (thoughts and emotions), and body. My goal is to help individuals, couples, families, and communities develop and maintain a healthy soul by building coping skills, creating lifetime habits, and mending relationships. I recognize the importance of the various roles and identities we have as people and the impact that they can have our daily functioning and our relationships. As a socioculturally attuned therapist, I give space and voice to these roles and identities in supporting individuals, families, and communities through the change they seek.

Channeling through life moments despite how troubling, traumatic or challenging they are requires some sort of "emotional grit." These experiences create responses and behaviors that are not healthy for us - anxiety, depression, impulsivity, anger, addiction etc. At times, these situations are out of our control and stem from our relationship experiences from childhood to now. There is room for growth despite what we have been through. We need Empathy that is genuine and a safe space to HEAL as we go in depth into our experiences and desire to create a value in us as we take time to "breathe, process, and heal," without bias!
