Therapists in Sherman Oaks, CA

Are you looking for a safe, nurturing, supportive environment where you can work on reaching a higher level of personal satisfaction, fulfillment and happiness? I support the idea that each individual has great freedom in directing his or her own future and resolving past issues as well as a large capacity for achieving personal growth. I believe it is important to remember that everyone's challenges and concerns are unique to them. I take a humanistic approach to psychotherapy. I am flexible in utilizing a variety of theoretical orientations depending upon the client, their personal issues, and communication style.

Feeling sad, mad, anxious, confused, overwhelmed, lonely, stuck? In my private practice I see individuals and couples dealing with depression and anxiety, life transitions including aging, retirement, illness, divorce, death of spouse, empty nest and career transitions as well as domestic violence, and parenting. I utilize a variety of theoretical orientations and interventions all tailored to the needs of each client. I am California certified to see survivors of domestic abuse. If you are ready to make changes in your life, therapy might be the conduit through which you can discover alternatives and improve your life.

I work with adolescents, adults of all ages, and couples. I have seen individuals who feel "something" is missing in their lives and are looking to find their path and passion in life. In both long-term and short-term therapy, we work connecting past issues when relevant to the present to understand why we make the choices we do. We also work to build tools to develop the life one wants to live.

Do you find it difficult to understand your child or teenager? Parenting is an overwhelming job and can sometimes leave you feeling powerless.

"You can't reach what's right in front of you until you let go of what's behind you" My name is Dr. Casey Weinstein and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults. My goal is to work alongside families to help guide and support them through life's challenges. The most important part of therapy is building trust and forming a strong relationship. With new skills and tools, my clients will be able to find their peace and happiness in life!

I became a psychotherapist because everyone needs “that person” in their life who will always believe in them, support them, and not judge them based on their past. As we all continue to navigate life’s transitions and changes, there are points where we find ourselves needing extra guidance and support. Whether you are currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can be a challenging, rewarding, and life-changing experience. As a therapist, I strive to be “that person” by providing a non-judgmental, warm, and compassionate environment that fosters growth.

Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming. With investments of energy, time, and money, it is important to select a therapist with whom you feel comfortable—someone that "gets" you and in whom you have trust and confidence. I enjoy helping adults understand their barriers and strengths to help them meet their goals in the various aspects of their lives, such as relationships, work, school, and health.

One of life's biggest challenges is living a life you want. I am trained in working with you to identify what that life looks like and to support you in making the necessary changes you need to get there. I believe that my role as a psychotherapist is to provide you with awareness into patterns in your life that no longer work for you but also be sensitive enough to your life and cultural experiences whereby you feel heard, understood and supported

My style is compassionate, interactive and supportive, providing a safe place to make changes. I quickly get to the heart of the matter and design the counseling session uniquely. If you are confused, stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless and want to make a change I will help you make that change. I facilitate your shift, from ways that aren't working, into ways that do. I work with people in crises, personal growth, wanting to find their deeper meaning in life. I see therapy as a sacred space to create healing and change believing everyone is unique and has great potential.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Unable to manage the stress of life? Are you challenged by compulsive or addictive behaviors that you cannot seem to stop? Struggling in relationships with others or experiencing shame? Many of us need to reach out for assistance in order to figure out how to better manage stress and enjoy life, rather then feel burdened by it. This is not weakness or lack of self-will. Rather it is a fact of our existence as human beings. We often need help from one another to accomplish certain tasks we cannot do alone.

Being human is hard! Managing relationships (familial, romantic, platonic, professional, even the relationship with ourselves), feeling confident and fulfilled in our careers, finding healthy and lasting love, it all can feel like an impossible task. We were never given a manual on how to do this! And while we are incredibly resilient, some of the coping mechanisms we have developed throughout our lives may not be serving us anymore. Whether you are stuck in a pattern that is no longer working for you, facing a new challenge, or wanting to improve the overall quality of your life, therapy can help!

As life moves in ever changing paces and phases, we look towards relationships that hold our foundations steady. In my experience, transitions and major-life decisions leave people at a crossroad of navigating their past with their present and future. As an AMFT, I use my experience and expertise in helping children, individuals, couples and families to navigate the seasons of life.
