Christian Therapists in Riverside, CA

A therapist who can identify with your spiritual and physical existence is an important part of healing. You want to trust that your therapist will uplift you and your life goals. You want your therapist to understand your values. Therapy should be a place to let down your guard, and begin to become yourself. Become yourself with out the insomnia, with out the rapid thoughts, with out the lack of motivation. It is possible to take feel confident in taking up your space in your homes, work, and in the larger community. Let's start unpacking the layers of trauma, the depression, and the anxiety.

It’s normal to need support, we all do at some time in our lives. Whether you’re going through a life transition, struggling as a parent, need extra support in your relationship, or feel stuck in a trauma from the past, it’s never too late to heal. Putting in the work to become the best version of yourself is the best investment you'll ever make. By integrating Christian Counseling along with traditional therapy, I have seen clients thrive by truly healing from the inside out. Our body is interconnected and one cannot be fully physically healthy if emotional health is suffering.

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 am the President & CEO of Genesis Counseling. We have 4 Clinics (San Bernardino, Riverside, Victorville & Ridgecrest).

Life can be hard and sometimes overwhelming! Life’s challenges may seem difficult to face, and at times, impossible to overcome-especially when you are in the middle of the storm. Feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger, fatigue, fear and isolation, can all be products of those unexpected challenges. Through personal encounters with this thing called life, and through the opportunities I have had to walk alongside others in this journey, I have learned that it’s no fun to do it alone. Facing life’s most difficult challenges sometimes becomes easier when you feel safe enough to share it with someone. My name is Naomi Joyce. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and founder of I AM Solutions Counseling Services.

Its 2022, we seem to be out of the woods...? But now what! Now its time to make that huge step- to seek help can be the difference in managing the seemingly unmanageable.

Relationships can be challenging especially with the financial stresses and uncertainty we are all experiencing. Make time to improve your relationships and increase your skills in managing stress so you can move yourself in a better direction in life.

Therapy does not have to take a long time.

I will gently challenge harmful thinking and offer support as we process painful emotions. I also offer a faith-based, Biblical approach to those who want to include that perspective in our process.

My goal in therapy is to meet you where you are and create a safe space so you can get to where you want to be.
