Domestic Abuse Therapists in Riverside, CA

Life is messy. Therapy helps. In the middle of the mess it can be hard to find a way through it, so I work collaboratively with you to identify a path. Together we take a good look at thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviors to see if we can find patterns, then create an action plan to reduce your distress. I am trained in multiple scientifically backed modalities including EMDR and CPT. Everyone is unique with their own set of circumstances that are considered as we walk this journey together. In a world where everyone is talking, sometimes it's nice to have someone really listen.

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.

Now is the time to take that courageous step- to seek help can be the difference in managing the seemingly unmanageable. I will help you improve communication, resolve conflicts in healthy ways, increase healthy coping skills, and teach you how to reduce thoughts and emotions that are contributing to depressive and anxiety symptoms. 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.

I help people get rid of old emotional pain, regardless of what symptoms they are experiencing. Old pain can affect thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and present as any of a multitude of symptoms. Chronic depression, anxiety or anger are very common, as are addictions, compulsions and obsessions. Internal sabotage, broken thinking, and self-limiting beliefs prevent people from being successful. Cutting, promiscuity and other self-destructive behaviors

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.

In all seasons of life, we experience obstacles between where we are and where we'd like to be. These obstacles can often present themselves in the form of anxiety, depression, a lack of self-confidence, relational issues, or unresolved trauma/grief, etc. I work with individuals in a collaborative process to explore these obstacles, challenge old patterns and beliefs, and find new ways of thinking and living. It is my hope that therapy is a positive journey for every individual and that starts with finding the right therapist. My approach is very relational, interactive, and direct.

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending" - Maria Robinson. Today can be the day when you take the first step towards change or it can be the time when you decide to enter a path of growth and well-being. As a therapist, my goal will be to help you in finding wellness and to uncover your true potential. While no one has life without difficult situations or no one can't change their past, still everyone has the ability to learn from their past and the ability resolve current challenges in life.

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 adult individuals 18+. 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.

Creating changes in our lives can often feel overwhelming and it is difficult to know where to start! I enjoy working with clients who recognize things in their lives aren’t working the way they expected or needed and are willing to look for ways to change their experience. I believe that we need to look inside ourselves to see if how we think about our own selves can impact our our views of life experiences and relationships. Look inward can often feel scary and I’m honored when clients allow me to share in that exploration with them.

If you are reading this, chances are you are struggling with something. Life is filled with challenges: managing relationships, coping with feelings of hopelessness, insecurity, trying to contend with daily stress or pressure, or picking up the pieces of a life that has just been torn apart. Are you reaching out or looking for a way to make things better? Are you seeking a way to restore your energy, enthusiasm and passion for life? You do not have to work through your problems alone! Psychotherapy works and you are about to take the first step in getting "back on track."

During stressful times, constant worrying, anxiety, anger, and sadness surface and cause disruption in relationships, sleep, eating habits, and health. I strongly believe in the mind and body connection, and, with help, stress can be an opportunity for emotional growth. I utilize my clinical experience and evidence-based therapeutic interventions to motivate clients and families toward their own emotional growth. I tailor various therapeutic approaches according to what works for my client and what my client needs to meet their goals.

In my years of experience providing therapy in different setting I've learned that you should use the therapeutic modality that not only fits the symptoms but also the individual. I have found that listening to your client's and using a client centered approach is what makes the biggest impact.

In a world of 7.7 billion people, we somehow, at some point, find ourselves feeling overwhelmingly alone. These feelings of loneliness can come for a variety of reasons. Not being able to let go of the past, a fear of the future-- anticipating the worst. Not feeling good enough, smart enough, attractive enough. Holding on to a part of yourself that brings you feelings of guilt and shame. Wanting to feel like you can breathe and let go. Searching for peace. The goal of feeling confident in your ability to handle life's struggles. All of this is normal. All of this is attainable. All of this is within you.

I believe in a Life Balance perspective to helping individuals and family. I find that we tend to get stuck in certain ways of thinking and behaving which causes a cycle of dysfunction that is difficult to see and overcome. By developing insight and new skills, we have the ability to realign our lives into a more healthy Life Balance which will allow us to deal with life stress and problems by using a variety of resources at our disposal.
