Elders (65+) Therapists in Thousand Oaks, CA

My role as a therapist is not about helping others. It is about giving guidance and focusing on self-empowerment to my clients so they can have the tools to assist themselves. Prior to private practice, I worked at treatment facilities for both substance abuse and eating disorders, worked with victims of crimes (domestic violence and sexual abuse), and a suicide hotline.

IT IS IN OUR DARKEST MOMENTS THAT WE MUST FOCUS TO SEE THE LIGHT. Your present circumstance does not determine your future. It's time to move from suffering & hardship to a place of happiness & comfort. I provide treatment & symptom relief for Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Trauma, OCD, Addiction, Anger, Grief, Infertility, Chronic Illness, Unemployment, & other life challenges that are holding you back from living the life you deserve. My goal is to assist you in working towards your potential & improving your well-being, as well as build on your strengths & attain the personal growth you are committed to accomplishing.

I am a Registered Nurse as well as an LMFT. My focus is on mental and physical health and wellbeing. I work with all kinds of psychological conditions including depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment issues, as well as trauma. I consider chronic medical and mental illness a "specialty". I draw upon my experience and training in providing understanding, support and mental health care. I am seeing clients throughout the state of California by telehealth.

Hi! I’m Elise Baumann and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in Newbury Park, California. My philosophy on therapy is that it should be a positive and uplifting experience. It may feel intimidating or overwhelming to seek help when things are tough or when you are struggling. This is why I strive to make therapy an experience that brings hope, builds confidence, and helps you to recognize and understand your strengths and inner resources.

You already have the power to change your life, although you may not know it yet. Together we can uncover the issues that keep you from living life to the fullest, and to identify the means and resources necessary to make those changes. Facing the obstacles we create to keep us from changing can be painful, but not catastrophic, and the result can make it all worthwhile.

I believe that every person's life is affected by the circumstances and individuals surrounding them. We live in a world that is interconnected. Thus, it is through understanding those connections and influences that we can find peace and meaning in our lives. Whether you are a youth, young adult, elder, lover, loner, or anything in between. You have a life story that is being created around you. Those who take action in their life find the most happiness. It is up to you to either sit back or take an active role in its creation.

Whatever brought you to this point it probably started with something you couldn’t control and you are still trying to cope with it. You don't need to deal with all of that alone, seek for help. If you feel stuck in your life, and is hard to move forward, you might benefit from psychotherapy.

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.

Do you want to stop skimming the surface and get to the heart of what's holding you back? Do you want to do that in a safe, supportive environment at your own pace? Do you want to do that with someone who believes you have the ability to free yourself and move ahead? There's never a better time to start than now.

As a licensed Clinical Social Worker my goal is to help you through the struggles that you feel may be affecting your daily lives. I work primarily with adults who experience symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions and infertility.

People can feel stuck only to repeat bad habits that keep them from goals and dreams. These patterns are usually what keep us stuck and frustrated. Change is possible and achievable! I join my clients on their journey to help them become encouraged and find ways to reconnect to themselves as well as others around them. A focus in my practice is helping clients to feel heard and understood as well as guiding them in making attainable goals that will enhance and enrich their quality of life. Working as a team, we will look at many aspects of the patterns in your life that may be harmful, ineffective, or simply unhelpful.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

I specialize in treating treating high achieving individuals & couples, with perfectionist tendencies. My priority is your emotional safety. Non judgmental support allows for your sharing openly and honestly. The need to "be right" can be unconscious, & you may be hurting those you love. My skilled intuition, and 25+ yrs. of clinical success, knows hope is available for the motivated and committed recovering anxious, obsessive, & over analyzing adult. Our trusting relationship inspires you to reflect upon your life/relationship goals; together we explore, & honestly challenge: "Do I want to be right?" Or, do I want to be loved?"

Thank you for visiting my profile, I am so glad you are here! I welcome clients of all ages – kids, teens, parents, families, couples, and adults – who are brave enough to seek support and who are committed to their well-being. Whether you are dealing with relationship conflicts, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, loss, trauma and/or life transitions big or small, I am grounded in the belief that everyone can flourish to their fullest potential, and everyone has the power to rewrite their own story.

Whether you are looking to improve what is already working or are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss or even the daily challenges of being a caregiver to a loved one, together we can work to help you live your very best life.

One who is experiencing any type of relationship issue, that is wanting to work on themselves and continue to strengthen either themselves or their relationship by working through the challenges that have exposed areas of growth in the individual.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

Relationships are a dominant presence in our lives; we are meant to be relational. The relationships we remember from the past, experience in the present, and anticipate in the future are perhaps the most influential force in shaping who we are. I believe there are three types of relationships that therapy can foster health in - a person's relationship with himself or herself, a person's relationship with other people, and, for people of faith, a person's relationship with God. There is perhaps no better gift that could be received than a healthier relationship in these areas.
