Adults Therapists in Thousand Oaks, CA

Although I work with children and adolescents individually, working with them alone is not sufficient. As a parent myself, I am very aware of what it is like for me to entrust my childrens' care into the hands of another. In order for treatment to be successful and for my clients to feel secure in the treatment process, I thus believe it is essential to incorporate working with parents into the treatment of the child. In addition to specializing in treating children and adolescents, I also offer services to college-aged individuals and older adults .

I am a licensed psychologist at Lifespan who specializes in psychological testing and evaluations for attention, learning and memory problems in children, adolescents and adults . In addition to traditional forms of mental health treatment, I am trained in Neurofeedback and provide a customized treatment protocol tailored to each patient’s individual needs. I have extensive training in trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD and has worked with survivors of all ages.

I specialize in working with trauma, specifically sexual abuse, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, and parental abuse and neglect. In session I focus on assisting individuals in reconnecting with their mind and body in safe ways, building coping skills, discussing what happened, and finally moving forward with peace and self-empowerment.

I utilize a client centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. In a safe, supportive, and non judgemental space we can explore the negative patterns in your life, work through any barriers, and move towards healing, growth, and change.

Hi, thanks for stopping by. My degree is Master of Science in Pastoral Counseling from Loyola College (University) in Baltimore, Md. I've been a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT) in private practice for 30 years. I'm also the mother of a young adult, and am married (42+years). My specialties are couples therapy and individual therapy for adults & single parents. I am a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist ('Couples' Dialogue'). I also specialize in reconciliation in relationships. Recovery issues, the grief cycle, vulnerability, and empathy are the primary focus in sessions -- including empathy for oneself.

Seeking support takes courage and strength. I work collaboratively with individuals to help them increase awareness and acceptance, explore emotions, and grow. I specialize in working with individuals ages 13-40 who are experiencing challenges with substance use and co-occurring disorders, including but not limited to depression and anxiety. I facilitate individuals in exploring challenging emotions, developing healthy coping tools, implementing a self-care plan, and creating sustainable change. I aim to help each individual that I work with to transition into the best version of themselves and experience self-love and freedom.

Hello, I’m Sarah. Life’s transitions can be categorized in many ways, but they can be challenging to navigate when they cause us pain, anxiety, or feelings of being stuck. One’s personal experience should never be compared to another, as it is unique, but there is hope. You deserve a safe space for mindfulness and restoration, no matter your struggle. Facing life’s challenges, difficult emotions, and an uncertain future is not a journey meant to be taken alone. With your strengths and resiliency, you can begin to build your sense of self. And through it all, I will be your supporter and advocate.

I help tweens, teens and young adults , particularly those experiencing anxiety, find balance, have better self-esteem, develop communication skills and form more fulfilling relationships with others. My experience has shown that unhealthy thought patterns play a role in the development of anxiety, perfectionism and low self-esteem.

My specialities include anxiety, depression and family counseling. I offer low cost counseling on a sliding scale ranging from $40-100 per session. I work with children, adults , individuals, families and couples.

I am a licensed therapist and have worked with young children and adults for many years. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and families in managing anxiety and depression and providing them tools to live a healthier life.

When we think about all the pain and suffering we endure during our lifetime, how much of it is necessary, and how much of it is avoidable? It is my belief that most individuals have the power to drastically change their own circumstances; yet we may falter by falling victim to our old routines and habits. The therapeutic journey is about questioning these automatic responses, while empowering you to take the steps needed to create long-lasting change. “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Viktor Frankl

I am a licensed clinical psychologist at Lifespan with 20 years of experience providing mental health services to children and adults .

I work with patients with a variety of mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, autism, learning disabilities, ADHD, PTSD, memory impairment and concussions.

I specialize in treating adolescents and adults with trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions and addiction. I enjoy providing support to the LGBTQI+ community and practice an open-minded sex-positive approach to individuals and couples as they explore their sexuality. I understand the importance of working to establish a trusting relationship within the therapeutic process to promote openness and change. I work to empower individuals to embrace struggle and overcome future challenges.

Finding a new therapist may initially feel overwhelming, especially when trying to find the right fit. With that in mind, I aim to prioritize a positive therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable and seen. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and overcome obstacles that may hinder their quality of life. Additionally, I am dedicated to helping my clients develop healthy communication and coping strategies.

I work primarily with adults who are wanting to manage symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I will be with you on your path to discovery, recovery, and finding the person you would like to become. I approach therapy with a client-centered approach in order to create a safe, comfortable space for you to share and express yourself, and your vulnerabilities. We will explore healthy ways to process your trauma, regulate difficult emotions, and restore broken relationships. I believe the trust built between Client and Therapist is powerful, and necessary in order to help you through your healing journey.

If you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed in your current stage of life, I am able to help you find solid ground. My approach to therapy is to guide you toward fully understanding and connecting with yourself. I am here to educate and empower you as you rediscover your whole self and learn more about your struggles and how to manage them.
