Therapists in Santa Paula, CA

My practice centers around tailoring my approach to each individual person and their unique needs.

I believe that living your life authentically is a core of life satisfaction. Sometimes our trauma, loss, or worry makes us avoid living in a truly authentic way. These experiences can lead to post traumatic stress, depression, and/or anxiety. I care about who you are intrinsically, and will work with you to process those painful experiences, cope with anxiety, and reach a point where life feels manageable again. I won't push people to relive bad experiences, but I will work to establish a safe space to share and explore your needs at your own pace.

I believe in evaluating each person for who they are, and examining how their own life story has contributed to their challenges and problems in the present. It is important to look at the stressors/triggers that are making each person react the way they do, and develop new perspectives and better choices for the present and the future. I help each person identify self-sabotaging actions and in developing a better course for coping and living. Additionally, I believe it is important to learn how to continue to grow within yourself and in all types of relationships.

HELPING YOU MOVE THROUGH TRAUMA AND LOSS, SO YOU CAN LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT. Maybe you've been going through some stuff lately and you've been feeling stuck. You may have lost someone, a job, or a relationship and you're having a hard time "moving on." The things that used to work for you aren't working anymore. Maybe you're clean and sober, but now you are struggling with what it means to LIVE clean and sober. Grief, loss and trauma can lead to thoughts, emotions and behaviors that surprise us. Whether you are overwhelmed by pain or disconnected from your emotions, there is a way through the places you feel stuck.

Sometimes you need a bit more support from an outside source to see issues through a new lens. I am here to help you do that.

My name is Jason Stringer I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in the state of California.

As an openly transgender therapist, I know it can be difficult to find the right person to confide in. Wanting to be loved and accepted doesn’t make you needy, or extra, or selfish, or weak. It makes you human. To me, you are not just some random psychology textbook or theory. In our work together, my focus is to build goals and a relationship where you feel comfortable exploring what you think, feel, want, and need. My style as a therapist is warm, relaxed, and conversational. I use playfulness, imagery, art, metaphors, curiosity, creativity, self-compassion, and humor when appropriate to support the therapeutic process.
