Therapists in Temecula, CA

I am a former First Responder, who has experience in working through trauma and creating a stronger resiliency. Everyday we walk through life with all the aspirations and hope of what we want to achieve. We walk down this path, and are faced with many kinds of obstacles that make themselves known only after we least expect them. This can dim our internal light, and create waves of sadness, anger, fear/anxiety, trauma, and depression. Taking the first step by calling a therapist can be a hard step.

Feeling stuck in your relationship can be tough, especially when the love and closeness you once had, seems lost. It might seem like there's no possible way forward, which can be heartbreaking. There is a silver lining though – even in those moments of hurt and uncertainty, you and your partner have the potential to grow and heal together. Learning to have healthy and open communication is key to bringing back the warmth and connection you desire in your relationship, which can rebuild the trust and love you have been longing for. With Emotionally Focused Therapy, you and your partner can learn to have a thriving and lasting love!

We all have goals, strengths, needs, and difficulties that present themselves daily. If you have been impacted by increased stress or trauma, a new diagnosis, need more coping skills, are becoming familiar with mental health or this is your 10th round of therapy, I welcome you. Life is a journey and healing is non-linear so I seek to provide a nonjudgmental, safe space for us to explore where healing and recovery can take place in your life. Intersectionality is a key component of my practice, so every aspect of your identity is welcome here.

I am the owner of Diamond Valley Therapy. Myself and Norma (Spanish Speaking) work with Individuals, Couples, and Families. I'm Philip, and I'm excited you've found my page. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with experience working with individuals struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, loss, domestic violence, and barriers to future goals. It isn't easy to reach out to a stranger for help, so I'd like to commend you for taking this difficult step. I feel honored and humbled that you have chosen me to guide you through this most difficult time. Feel free to call to answer your questions.

Sometimes with life’s challenges, people can get “stuck” in vicious cycles. If you are here, it means you are taking the steps to break this cycle. I value that the client does most of the talking & my role is to be an active and nonjudgmental listener. I often jump in and challenge the client when appropriate and I actively teach new skills and tools.

You have goals, but fear that you won’t live up to your full potential. Trying new things seems to come with too much risk of failure and rejection. You care about others, but struggle to find the words to set boundaries and protect time for yourself. You get anxious with confrontation, and so you become passive, and contain your emotions, which leads to feelings of depression, anxiety, frustration and resentment. You want to be understood, but fear that speaking your mind may result in rejection, criticism or being misunderstood. You want better relationships, but aren’t sure where to start. You are ready to do things differently.

I am in the business of making better humans. I am dedicated to supporting people impacted by anxiety, intimacy & communication challenges, grief & loss, depression, non recreational use of subatances, addiction, feeling stuck in life or their relationships. I specialize in addressing issues such as perfectionism, critical self-talk, codependency, and relationship dynamics. My approach is rooted in helping clients reconnect deeply with their authentic selves, fostering renewed health, and rediscovering a sense of purpose and connection. As your Holistic Therapist, I offer practical solutions, guiding you towards tangible results.

I help guys become better men, husbands, and fathers. As men, we are conditioned to try and solve life's many complexities on our own, but the truth is reaching out for help shows immense strength, not weakness. You may find yourself experiencing anxiety, depression, or issues in your relationships. Perhaps you're more irritable than usual or find yourself being "short" with those around you. Often mental health struggles manifest themselves differently in men than they do in women. I am a therapist that understands the unique challenges men face and how to help navigate through them.

I became a mental health professional because I had a period in my late 20s where I found myself in a life transition and existential/ spiritual search. I was fortunate to have connected with some very supportive integrative mental health professionals that weaved mind body elements into their practice. Both the journey of discovery and the modalities used by my mentors inspired me to give back to others in a similar way. As a professional I have found that there is tremendous value in being a catalyst towards personal growth and fostering personal power.
