Teen Therapists in Sunnyvale, CA

During these uncertain times, mental health is of utmost concern. Isolation, anxiety, life stressors, & financial worries can all have a detrimental impact to one's mental health. Teamwork makes the dream work and I'd like to accompany you on the moon with a fishing pole! Personal connection can be hard to come by & one of my goals is to create a genuine connection. It might appear impossible to connect with an individual, talk about life, and progress in personal development, but we got this! If you are looking for someone to walk with you on a journey of self-discovery and "aha" moments, I look forward to meeting you!

I enjoy working with people who would like to change their relationship with problems in their lives, and gain power over these problems and their effects. I have extensive training and experience working with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and eating disorders. In addition, I meet with people who are affected by chronic medical conditions and parent/ teen conflict. I view people as having ideas about how they would like to be in life and in relationships; yet, problems can disconnect people from their ideas and identities, influencing them to act in unsatisfactory ways.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or an eating disorder? Have you experienced a recent or prior trauma or traumas that negatively impact your life? Does your child or adolescent struggle with these issues? Are you or a loved one struggling to cope with a life change or loss? All of these conditions are painful and deserve time and attention. In the context of an honest, compassionate relationship, I am here to empower you and/or your adolescent to move beyond burdensome behaviors and thoughts so that you can live life to the fullest. My approach is interactive, collaborative and practical.

Thank you for visiting and taking your time to read my profile. I believe we all have potentials and it is my job to bring out that hidden potential that has been lacking or not acknowledged in your current situation. I utilized strength based approaches to connect with my clients without pathologizing their problems, while building on their inner resources and agency within. I use different approaches that would best fit my client's goals and needs for change. I believe in meeting your needs and personalizing your treatment based on your life story and unique experience.

Carl Jung said "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are" and this is something I am passionate about: helping my clients uncover who they truly are and live the lives that they deserve. I primarily work with children, teens and young adults and enjoy creating unique interventions based on upon their interests and goals. Using talk, art and play I help clients explore their experiences with anxiety, depression, school challenges, and trauma. Having previously worked in school settings I have witnessed first hand how important mental health counseling is for children, teens and young adults.

Whether you’re an adult, child or teenager , I help you to know more about who you are, who you want to be and what you want to be about. I strive to help everyone find hope and healing from present challenges and past wounds so they can have more freedom to pursue their dreams and live their lives to the fullest. With children and teenagers, I help them in the challenges they face with stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression, academics, anger, friends, and identity. I help parents better understand and support their children. I provide a safe and supportive space, with empathy and understanding, and without judgment or shame.

I believe children and teens can learn, grow, and thrive when they have coping skills, feel empowered, and practice self-care. My goal is to encourage youth to learn who they are and how to advocate for their unique needs. I specialize in working with neurodiverse, gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) youth and their families. I encourage youth to use their strengths and interests in order to grow, heal, and cope. Building self-awareness, such as understanding their own sensory processing and asynchronous development, is an important part of my work with youth.

Parents, are you worried that your teen or young adult may be stressed or depressed? Are they refusing to communicate with you, staying up real late at night, becoming defiant and or have excessive use of gaming or social media? Has social distancing caused them to isolate from friends and family and sleep all day? Have they seemed to have lost all motivation and have no structure to their daily life? My name is Tametra and I am the founder of Jacobs Ladder Therapies. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years experience working with teens and young adults.

Congrats on taking your first step - seeking support is a sign of strength! Whether you are managing a relationship challenge, feeling down or anxious, or coping past trauma/loss, I work with individuals, couples and adolescent to help get through life's road blocks and facilitate change to reach specific goals which include finding more fulfillment and happiness in life. It's time to change your patterns and break free of any negative feelings and emotions. www.kimjonescounseling.com www.kimjonescoaching.com

Hello, I am a Bilingual (Spanish/English), License Mental Health Therapist with over 9 years of experience working with children, youth, couples, adults, and families to overcome behavioral and emotional issues.

My focus is on easing your stress, worries, and challenges that you are facing. Together we will work on finding better ways to communicate at home and at work. I am offering tele-therapy through video and/or phone to all who want to be seen.I enjoy working with couples and individuals.

With couples I often use EFT (emotional focus therapy). My therapy style is nurturing and empowering. Your happiness is my first priority!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more that 35 years of experience working with individuals, families and youth. My mission is to assist people in examining their issues, while learning to make choices and decisions that will support them and their families in becoming physically, mentally and spiritually healthy.

Are you a performer who devotes a large percentage of time to physically, strategically, technically training for a competition/performance but come game day doesn't feel the performance equals your true skills and abilities? Are you a student who studies hard, knows the material yet doesn't do well on the test, or a business person who has difficulty showing up in the boardroom? Non-performance mental factors are often the culprit. People spend a lot of time on physical or material preparation but rarely is time spent on customizing a mental training routine. Want to try a fresh start in reaching your goals?

I believe it is important to be your authentic self as a provider because the therapeutic relationship is exactly that: a relationship. We all bring the wonderful nuances of ourselves into this dynamic, and part of what makes me so passionate about this work is helping others navigate and express their identities.

I am offering tele-therapy through video and/or phone . I offer supportive / transformative psychotherapy for a variety of issues and concerns including relationship conflicts, grief and loss, stress management, depression, anxiety, trauma, family and marriage relationships, including sexual and intimacy issues in relationship. I assist clients in finding happier and healthier ways of being in their lives, help them to enhance communication skills; promoting positive and lasting change.

In my practice, I believe we have two types of relationships: the relationship we have with ourselves, and the relationships we have with others. When you have been hurt by others, it may become more challenging to love yourself. You begin to think, “ What did I do wrong?”, or “They didn’t want me, so I’m not worth loving”.
