Men's Issues Therapists in Winchester, CA

Telehealh ONLY. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Idaho w/ over 18 years of experience working w/ children, adolescents, adults, couples, & families seeking support with an array of personal and/ or relationship challenges. I have specialized training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy for helping clients resolve trauma. I take a strength-based approach in teaching (DBT) mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional awareness-building, & relationship effectiveness training. I also use cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, & emotionally-focused approaches to help clients find their version of change.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is true to who you really are. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions or unresolved emotional experiences that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you are teen, individual, couple, or family seeking support and guidance to overcome life's challenges or ready to take a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Life can be hard, especially when what used to make it bearable just doesn't cut it anymore. The fact is that addiction is complicated. It is messy, tricky, and heavily stigmatized. I'm here to provide you with empathy, suggestions, and stability. In short, counseling. You've come this far, so consider taking that leap and giving something else a try. Recovery doesn't start with stopping. Recovery starts when you wonder if there's another way. I provide drug and alcohol addiction counseling as well as Department of Transportation SAP services. Call me for a free consultation and see if I'm a good fit for you.

Life is relationship. People come to therapy because their relationships seem strained: You feel misunderstood by your partner, fights increasing, the distance between you growing. You're not on the same page parenting the kids. There are fewer "good times." You feel alone. You crave a renewing, loving relationship, more family harmony. Perhaps you have not succeeded in creating the fulfilling relationship you desire and suffer in its absence, flying solo- anxious, depressed, bored. Can't relax, overwhelmed by your job. The therapeutic work we do together can help you overcome these challenges, building more satisfying, loving relationships, a better fitting life.

Therapy can be a difficult decision to make and it can get worse before it gets better. It is hard to examine with someone you don’t really know, private, deep and personal things about you, your relationships; your marriage and your family. You may be dealing with trauma that was completely out of your control, or trying to manage a choice you made that inflicted so much pain onto others and yourself, or trying to wrap your mind on who you are now, but want to be better, however you don't know how to get there. Whatever struggles you are facing in your life, I hope that you seek therapy, no one can do this alone.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Emotional wounds, challenging life experiences and persistent relationship problems can rob us of our feelings of joy and connection. I offer a compassionate and focused therapy approach to help you learn new ways of looking your problems and concerns, such that you come away feeling more centered and at peace. You will learn: novel, individualized approaches to heal problematic thoughts and emotions; tools for effective communication; new ways to understand yourself, your relationships and your life. We are far more than what we appear to be, and my aim is to help you regain contact with your true self.

Do you find yourself constantly overwhelmed by daily pressures? Do you feel weighed down and anxious about the expectations others place on you? Do you find it hard to speak up and advocate for yourself out of fear of being targeted in some way? As a Mexican- American woman, I have encountered these hurdles which is why I am so passionate about helping ethnically and culturally diverse populations have the opportunity to be seen, heard, valued, and understood in their daily experiences.

I specialize in men’s issues. I've always felt pushed to be a "lone-wolf" and culture told me to "be a man" or "get over it" when it came to my emotions. As men, when we have a problem we deal with it on our own, often by using pornography, drinking, playing video games, or searching elsewhere for affection. We lie, we defend, we run. We constantly look for peace and acceptance, even if it’s temporary or fake. It can feel hard to trust those closest to us and we may think, “No one is going to take care of my needs but me” or "if they really knew me, they wouldn't love me."

Everyone needs help sometimes. Asking for help is courageous and difficult. If you are struggling with relationship problems, anxiety, anger management, grief or other issues related to life transitions-- please take that first step. I can offer you relief in the form of providing a safe emotional space to share, an empathic ear & shared intention of helping you identify & achieve solutions. That’s why I’m here. . . you will be welcome. I work with adult individuals & select couples. If you are interested, leave your message/contact info & I will call to discuss your needs & let you know if I am accepting new clients.

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.

Congratulations on taking the next step in improving your life. You might be feeling stuck or uncertain about what you want your future to look like. Or you may be feeling stuck with a relationship. Either way, together we can work on getting you more clarity and skills that can help you get the life you know you deserve. Kamal is a Certified Brainspotting therapist who also uses interventions and knowledge from Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment theory so his clients better understand why they are feeling stuck and learn effective ways of getting unstuck.

Couples, Men, Veterans, and Families. I strive to make therapy a comfortable place where you can explore the deepest insights about yourself with compassion and empathy. Therapy becomes an experience and journey about who YOU are and where YOU want to go. Is something standing in the way? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns or plagued by underlying issues? Sometimes we feel frustrated and hurt by those we so want to feel close to. You are not alone in the possible fears that might come along with seeking help. It's vulnerable. It can feel scary. Let me take that step with you to Keep Moving Forward.
