Christian Counseling Therapists in Stanislaus County, CA

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 14+ years of clinical experience. I am a certified Interpersonal Psychotherapist (IPT), Certified Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), and trained in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I believe my reason in life is to serve, empower, and help people on their journey toward becoming their best selves. I followed my passion for assisting people to thrive by obtaining a BA in Psychology and Social Behavior at UC Irvine and an MSW in 2007 from CSULB.

I am Dr. Ann Susan Murphy, PsyD; I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, have an MFT license, and an MS in Sec. Ed, an MA in Counseling Psyc and a BS in Fash. Merch/Social Sciences. I can see the potential for true health in every individual and am positive and excited about each client I see. I believe in the power of the mind. I prefer Psychodynamic Therapy, as this gets quickly to the underlying cause, the real issue (s) blocking us from living to our full potential. Everyone needs to briefly uncover perceptions from the past and recognize how these perceptions can block us from living a balanced life in the present.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Hello! I'm Miranda Dinkins, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I thrive to offer professional therapy services that provide a comforting, warm, and inviting space for individuals to feel safe.

As a Catholic, you are struggling to improve your marriage, family, career, performance, or spiritual life. You’re someone who desires more for yourself and those you love but still find yourself struggling to progress, feeling like your efforts never seem to move the needle, leaving you more and more burnt out. You’re feeling dissatisfied, like you're just going through the motions, but you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to understand what's tripping you up. You’re ready to learn new skills to improve. Most of all, you’re ready to live with purpose and find a sense of peace. I want to help you get there.

A sense of belonging is crucial. Life is hard. I believe that everyone has a plan and a purpose for their life and during hard times, we all need someone to come along the side of us to lend encouragement and non-judgmental support. Therapy can be scary; I would love to listen to your story and work with you towards health and healing. Walking alongside of others with curiosity and empathy during hard times is a passion of mine. Learning and building coping skills and a sense of belonging, while being curious about your plan and purpose is what I'd love to help you with. I offer faith based counseling and traditional counseling.
