Therapists in California

Welcome! I assist people on their healing journey in the form of psychotherapy. I work with clients in achieving their treatment goals in a safe and effective manner by increasing awareness, strengthening coping skills, making behavioral changes, and processing relevant past events. I bring an open, nonjudgmental approach to therapy as it is essential to develop an authentic, trustworthy relationship with each client. I respect and value people of all cultural/racial backgrounds, spiritualities, sexual orientations, and gender identities, as these aspects are incredibly important to me personally and professionally.

[CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS] The relationship you have with your therapist is a huge determining factor in how successful the therapy process can be. I encourage you to browse my page, my website, have a listen to my podcast, and reach out to me for a consultation if you think we could be a good fit. If we decide to continue working together, I spend time understanding where you are, and what methods may work best for you in helping you to reach your goals. I believe therapy is most effective when it's flexible enough to fit you, but structured enough to keep us on a track towards getting you to the place you feel best.

I enjoy supporting my clients' curiosity to uncover and explore what contributes to who they are and how they connect with the people in their lives. I work especially well with traumatic experiences, troubled upbringing, grief and anxiety. If you want to understand or change the way you relate to yourself, your story and the world and maybe are longing for a more authentic self expression and acceptance or sense of iner strength, we might be a good fit. I believe that sustainable change happens from the inside and you have the capacity to create this change.

I believe that within each of us lies strengths that can allow us to move towards positive change: To become happier, heal from emotional pain, improved self-esteem, greater independence, feeling more empowered, improved relationships with ourselves and others, and many other possibilities. I utilize both Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people to improve their lives. I have been providing counseling for over 15 years for individual adults and couples on a variety of issues including separation/divorce, communication, parenting, depression, anxiety, life transitions and men's issues.

Hi, I am Jennifer. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and do not know where to start? Well, you are looking in the right place.

When life events become overwhelming, everything can seem out of balance. As humans, we are in a constant state of evolution, and having support navigating through these changes can be invaluable. I believe in your ability to change and grow. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to have a life that is filled with peace, joy, happiness, and dreams. If you're looking for support and guidance through a challenging event or you're just ready to move in a new direction, I am here for you. I believe in those moments of deep vulnerability. It is where transformation and healing truly begin.

I help individuals, couples, and families identify their goals, face their fears, and explore old patterns of behavior so they can make the desired changes in their lives that lead to more meaningful, happy futures as well as better relationships with themselves and others. I am interested in why we keep doing things that don't seem to work. My approach is both pragmatic and depth oriented and my style is collaborative.

I believe that life ebbs and flows with the changes of life's demands. Many of these changes are positive ones, but at times hardships can follow, needing assistance and guidance in finding solutions. This is where the therapeutic process can help in alleviating your symptoms, bringing about new energy and happiness in enjoying life's many adventures. My enjoyment in the therapeutic process is one of discovery and collaboration in identifying difficulties and solutions to the patient's problems. Above all, I believe the relationship between the patient and therapist is the cornerstone to achieving the patient's goals.

I work with clients who want change in their lives for the better, but find themselves going in circles with challenges (e.g. anxiety, low mood, lack of confidence, life stressors, feeling disconnected). Our therapy work together helps create new ways of dealing with problems effectively, encourages and empowers clients to live meaningful lives, while attuning to a person’s unique culture and background

The foundation of our programming is our team of compassionate and highly experienced behavioral healthcare professionals. The Newport staff is comprised of the best mental health leaders in the country, surrounding each client with 360-degree care. Because Newport’s philosophy of care views family as central to long-term, sustainable healing, the groundbreaking Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) methodology is also a central component of our approach. ABFT is proven to be successful in addressing adolescent and young adult suicidality by repairing ruptures in the parent-child relationship.

I strive to help my clients live their best and most full lives. I work collaboratively with my clients to build coping tools to address a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addiction, grief and loss, and life transitions.

I believe the most important part of the healing process is the therapeutic alliance between a client and their therapist. I work at your own pace to build trust and a feeling of safety in the therapy room. I provide a space where you can voice and sift through intrusive thoughts and feelings that you may not feel able to process elsewhere. I primarily work with adult women, individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, preschool age children and couples.

Tara is skilled at caring for adolescents, pre-teens, and young adults through some of life's most difficult challenges. Tara is particularly passionate about helping clients with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. Tara also has experience working with client's who struggle with strong emotions, transitions, grief, and relationships. Tara is passionate about inspiring clients and their families to gain self understanding, learn coping tools, and work toward personal goals.

Welcome! If you find yourself worrying often, apologizing all the time, or fearing many things there are ways to sit with those emotions and not have it be overwhelming. If you are asking how, this is where therapy comes in. If you have been searching for relief from isolation, loss, relationship issues, or trauma I can help navigate that path with you. Therapists are not “one-size-fits-all” and my goal with my clients is to meet them where they are emotionally.

Welcome! You are ready for a change. You may be overwhelmed by life, feel depressed or anxious, or have difficulty connecting in relationships. Whatever your reason for searching for a psychologist, a part of you believes in the possibility of a better life.

I am a positive, motivating, and compassionate professional who likes to keep it real and utilizes evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions. CBT is a psychosocial approach that helps change thoughts and behaviors to improve mood management and develop healthy coping strategies. Our thoughts are very powerful! When we change the way we think about the world, the world around us changes.
