"Let's finally stop just talking about your problems, and begin doing something about them." I've found that at the core of most of our troubles is deeper conflict between our Values and Actions. This inconsistency may have been caused by past experiences, traumatic events or a genetic predisposition. Regardless of the source of the problem, let's take a more active approach to feeling happier and healthier. Whether you are seeking help in your career, looking to improve your relationship, having problems with the kids or struggling with anxiety, let's get started. The time is now!

Therapy is a unique experience aimed at helping clients understand their emotions as well as learning that our symptoms are telling us something.

You've taken the right step in exploring options for your
child
.
Do you often find yourself alone in your parenting struggles? Raising kids is a tough job, one for which you may think you are unprepared. You are challenged by playing the multiple, and sometimes conflicting, roles of referee, cheerleader, and coach. You constantly need to manage the wide range of your
child
's emotions and behaviors. From a simple refusal to listen, to full blown temper tantrums, it is a constant struggle figuring out how to respond to your
child
's varying behaviors effectively. Yes Parenting isn't easy, but there is hope. You don't have to walk this journey alone.

I have experience and training working with
children
and adolescents.
In your journey to empowerment and better mental health I work to provide a safe environment, unconditional positive regard, and help cultivate the change you wish to achieve. We are all struggling to find balance and a new way of living with the current global pandemic. Many have experienced strong emotions, loneliness, and being burnt out. Therapy can be an outlet in which you talk about what you want to, express true feelings about something no one saw happening, and the impact it has had on not only your everyday life but also your mental health. I am here to be part of a support system for you during this time.
David Solomon
Psychologist, PsyD

I specialize in working with
children
(10+), families, and individual adults.
Life can be overwhelming. If you find it difficult to cope at times or feel flooded by challenging emotions, you don’t have to be alone in your struggles. Together we can work through the struggles that are negatively impacting your life. Through the therapeutic process, difficulties that overwhelmed you in the past may begin to feel more manageable. You may find more room to enjoy life rather than just trying to survive it. While the process of therapy is different for everyone it usually leads to a greater sense of contentment, acceptance for oneself, and closeness with others.
Cecilia Polkinhorn

I enjoy helping
children
, teens, adults, couples, families, and groups use art (and/or traditional talk therapy) to identify their emotions, explore sources of internal/external conflict, and introduce healthier coping strategies into their everyday lives. I tend to approach therapy with Gestaltist and existentialist principles in order to help clients identify points where they feel "stuck," practice accountability, incorporate exercises and techniques to become "unstuck," and ultimately improve their relationship with the "here and now." I also work under a trauma-informed model at a nonprofit agency in Tarzana, CA.
