Therapists in Santa Barbara, CA

Greetings! I'm Honey, a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist dedicated to helping couples build resilient relationships, guiding parents (all stages of parenting) through the challenges of family life, and supporting Individuals/ Executives and/or Athletics facing anxiety and/or depression. With a compassionate and collaborative approach, I am committed to creating a safe space for exploration, growth, and healing.

I believe that no matter how stuck we feel in life the key to freedom and wellbeing always lies inside us. As an IFS-certified therapist for over 12 years, I have helped many clients find inner peace and fulfillment by recognizing tendencies and patterns that stand in their path to healing. A core IFS belief is that even our most dreaded habits and patterns are protective mechanisms that we have developed unconsciously to remain safe from more hurt and suffering. What makes IFS a powerful modality is that it is not based on pathology or diagnosis but on understanding that our internal system is organized around protection and safety

Is your child, adolescent or teenager depressed or acting out in ways that have you concerned? Are you worried about your child or teenager's behavior and emotional well being following a divorce?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, there is help. Valencia Relationship Institute (VRI) should be your first call for help. We have 17 therapists with specializations in all of these areas. Call right now and speak to our Client Care Coordinator. See you soon!

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, empathetic and unique to each individual's personal needs. I believe the most important component of therapy is establishing a genuine, trusting connection. I strive to create a therapeutic environment in which the clients feel respected, supported and understood in order to actively explore deep personal issues and experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving about their present and future. During our process, we will explore emotions and relationships that impact your life. Together we will clarify the development of thoughts and feelings and understand how they shape us.

Being ready to get professional help is a sign of self awareness, readiness for self growth, personal freedom and feeling more in control. Finding the right therapist is essential in building rapport, trust, and open communication. I work together with my clients to explore dynamics related to life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, worries, health problems, financial anxieties, and sudden changes in life. I use a combination of techniques including psycho-dynamic, behavioral and cognitive theories, solution focused models, and mindfulness interventions to fit each individual client's needs.

Finding clarity that aligns with your heart, body and mind can be hard. Feeling stuck in those dark chapters of life can bring up difficulty with productivity, isolation and loneliness. Periods of transition will come and go; it's how we handle them that matters. Counseling can help! For more info, visit my Yelp Page: Nicole Nowparvar, LCSW.
