"My work as a therapist is to create a safe, supportive space for clients to open up, experience life as it is right now, and explore whatever is calling out for attention from within or from outer challenges. This work is empowering to my clients as they connect with a flow of healing and transformation from within themselves and learn new tools for living more fully-tools that they can carry into their lives long after our time together has passed."

"I support adults, baby boomers, & elders in their move toward HAPPINESS. FREE 15 minute consultation. I invite you to my peaceful, hilltop office to explore & work through feelings of loss/grief, non-acceptance, feeling less-than, life transitions, dissatisfaction, helplessness, & pain. I can help you with empowerment, insight, & moving beyond impeding obstacles. With empathy & sometimes humor, I will guide you through life's crises & challenges. You can learn to stay mindfully in the present, an antidote to fear & helplessness. Life can always be better & we can remember to be thankful for the beauty & the good. I work with individuals & couples."

"If I were to pick one theme that runs through my therapy work, it would have to be Empowerment. I believe completely in people's abilities to change their own lives. In whatever age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or culture we feel we belong to; we have the power to decide how to respond, perceive, define, believe, and present ourselves to others. I feel my role as a therapist is to ask questions, be curious and draw out the power of each person's own spiritual, emotional, and relational authority over their own lives."

"Do you feel stuck, unhappy, and dissatisfied? Having problems in relationships? Does each day feel like too much to handle? Take the first step toward making positive change in your life by calling to schedule an appointment. Working together, we can identify your goals and desires, recognize and capitalize on your strengths, find strategies to relieve your stress and anxiety, improve your mood, reinvigorate your relationships, and increase your life satisfaction. I provide caring, supportive, non-judgmental, confidential therapy for adults, teens, children, and couples in welcoming, comfortable offices, Monday through Friday."

"I am passionate about using therapeutic approaches that engage body, heart, mind, and soul to support transformative change. My work is client centered. I foster connection with and amplification of the client's inner wise mind and personal strengths to facilitate growth and healing. I've benefited from a life-long spiritual practice and diverse life experience and I bring a calm presence and a deep understanding of the human condition into my work with clients."

"I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who works with children, tweens and adolescence (between the ages 2-18) as well as with adult individuals and couples. The issues that I work with include: anxiety, depression, codependency, low self- esteem, relational issues, grief, social skill building, marital/divorce/relationship issues, women's issues, racial/ethnic concerns, meaning of life, life transitions, eco-related issues and health & life couching."

"I have been working as a counselor and coach since 1992. But probably what makes my approach most unique is my 12 years living in Nepal from 1975-1988 and my deep study of Buddhist psychology. I blend these deep ideas into the work I do in a secular manner. I have recently published The Misleading Mind: How We Create Our Own Problems and How Buddhist Psychology Can Help Us Solve Them. Check it out. the key to happiness is mental health. The key to mental health is a balanced and wise mind so one can, ultimately, become one's own therapist and coach."

"Feeling overwhelmed or stuck? I can support you in the process of moving forward. Using present moment experience, we'll explore how you relate with yourself and others. In this way, you can learn to set boundaries, expand your emotional capacity, as well as give and receive love more deeply."

"Can you imagine your confusion and emotional pain being transformed into clarity and wisdom? I offer compassionate understanding and support in a safe, comfortable environment. By incorporating body, mind and spirit in a practical approach to growth and change, I have successfully helped many individuals and couples find relief from anxiety and depression and to improve their relationships. As we learn to see things without distortions and judgements, anger can be transformed into compassion, and fear dissolves into acceptance, thus, allowing us to be fully present and alive to celebrate our lives with joy and happiness."

"My mission is simple: to cut through the gunk to the gold inside of you! I have developed a unique approach using cutting edge brain re-training methodology that is extremely effective at creating lasting, rapid change. Instead of talk therapy, my approach involves reprogramming negative messages in the brain. When we 'rewrite' these programs, healing results. I work with many issues, including mood disorders (anxiety, depression), career (conflict resolution, communication skills, promotions); relationship issues (intimacy, sexual concerns); even physical problems (insomnia, chronic pain). I have successfully 'graduated' hundreds of clients by using these focused, well-researched and proven techniques."

"We all have an inner healing intelligence: a part of us that is already well. If you are anxious, fearful, confused or feeling lost or stuck, we can work together to help you find the peace, calm, joy and stability in your life."

"I am the owner of Santa Cruz Child Therapy, a practice specializing in helping children, adolescents and parents overcome traumatic stress, relational issues, attachment trauma, and behavioral concerns. When your child is behaving in a way that is unusual or concerning, it can feel extremely distressing as a parent. Young people often display behavioral concerns that do not necessarily match the underlying feeling or root cause, making things feel even more confusing. It is my goal to work collaboratively with you to understand your child fully and utilize inherent strengths within your relationship to attend to both of your needs."

"For over 35 years I have been helping my clients to discover new ways to deal with their problems and to begin thriving rather than merely surviving in their lives.My greatest strength is moving people from crisis to change. My openness and forthright style with clients provide the opportunity for personal growth, change and understanding. My style is primarily interactive. I view therapy as an educational tool as well as therapeutic experience. I love working with people in all stages and ages of their lives and I welcome you to my practice."

"Would you like to live a more fulfilled life with meaningful relationships? You have taken the first step! Finding the right therapist can be scary and confusing. I believe that a personal connection is the corner stone to a successful therapeutic experience. Sometimes traumatic events can bring us to lose our sense of well-being and our center and we need help regaining them. I see my role as guide and support in your path of uncovering your full potential. I work with adults, adolescents, children, couples and families. Please call me to see if we are a good fit."

"We all have an inner wisdom and interior life that can inform and transform how we hold and participate in the wonder of our lives. I view psychotherapy as a threshold for those seeking a deeper connection to their own experience. Exploring how these mysterious inner resources manifest in the external environment can make it possible to view our lives from a new vantage point. I support individuals to feel more alive, awake and whole in each moment regardless of their circumstances."

"If you have been thinking about speaking with a therapist, or finding one for someone you care about, then you are in the right place. Opening yourself up to ask for help can feel like a risk, but I encourage you to see this moment of vulnerability as a strength. Life is hard and seeking therapy is an opportunity to prioritize yourself, and focus on what really matters to you. I view it is a collaborative process, in which we can work together to discover what would help to increase your overall experience of wellness."

"Hello. I have been a therapist for over 25 years and to this day I absolutely love meeting people, hearing their stories and helping them make peace with their past. I work to help people to increase their emotional health and become more effective in their current lives. I specialize in helping people with depression, anxiety and all types of food, weight and body image issues. I work primarily with adults and young adults. I also help parents to understand their kid's eating disorder and give them tools for dealing more effectively with their kids."

"People often come to therapy blaming each other or themselves for their problems. I work to help you identify and stand up to the real problems in your lives. If you're experiencing difficulties in your relationship, I'll help you and your partner become allies to join together to understand and change the problems undermining your connection. If you're dealing wtih individual problems, such as depression, anxiety or loss, I'll help you to inquire into and challenge negative self-blaming beliefs and old stories that keep you on your case instead of on your side."
