Therapists Beginning With L in California

Therapy is a precious and unique space, for a standard 45-50 minute block, you will virtually sit with me to process and uncover the profound and deeper parts of yourself. My role and objective is to create a warm and inviting place in which you feel safe to show up as you are, to feel all the emotionally charged feelings, and relate to yourself in a way you may have not ever known or seen in yourself – in a more kind, loving, compassionate, and graceful manner.

Life is a beautiful gift full of contrast, challenges, love and abundance. It provides the opportunities to learn and grow. We can also get lost in the challenges that can cause us to disconnect form our guidance system and become reactive to our current experience. Our individuality can get lost and we tend to identify ourselves by our mistakes, failures, or labels; these things do not define us. I work with individuals, couples, teens and adolescents who want or need guidance and support in today's changing world.

Are you feeling stuck? Are your problems interfering with your life, your health, and/or your work? Are you having relationship problems with your partner, family members, friends or colleagues? Are you dealing with loss? Do you want to explore your racial/cultural identities? Using a collaborative working relationship, I personalize treatment for each client based on individual needs and goals. I acknowledge your courage to invest in yourself and prioritize your wellness. In a supportive and safe environment, we will explore and address your issues and experiences. I will help you in reaching your goals that align with your values.

You are kind, helpful, and sensitive. You give selflessly as a hardworking daughter, sister, mom, and/or employee. And, you’re exhausted. It is normal to feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and burnt out when you give and give.

I help my clients learn and enhance their abilities to utilize their own strengths in order to overcome issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, and daily or work related stress. I put in a strong effort to connect with my clients and create a working alliance. The treatment I provide is a collaborative process where we will work together for positive changes. I've spent the seven years training and working with clients at institutions such as New York Presbyterian Hospital, the William Alanson White Institute, New York University, and Cornell Medical College.

There may be times when seeking therapy in the short-term can feel necessary to help navigate a crisis situation. And at other times, it can be a longer process of self-exploration and growth. In either case, engaging in therapy is an act of hope. I will meet you where you are with compassion and without judgment. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in any successful course of therapy. My therapeutic approach is personalized and collaborative; curiosity and warmth imbue my role as an active listener. For those seeking couples therapy, my work is heavily influenced by my training with Terry Real.

I have extensive training in a variety of evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused, Psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based therapy, and relational therapy. I have had many years of experience working with people struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, domestic violence, mood disorders, ADHD, postpartum depression/anxiety, issues related to infertility, interpersonal relational challenges, panic disorders, immigration challenges, parenting challenges, insomnia, trans-related challenges

Are you struggling to keep your life balanced? Trying to make sense of the world today? You may be stressed out by the many competing demands on your time, energy and attention. It may be all you can do to get through the day. You are exhausted but then have trouble sleeping because your swirling thoughts take over. You need help coping with your anxiety and managing your stress. I may be able to help you.

Does your personality change based on who is around? Does it feel like you're walking on eggshells through life? You find yourself saying “yes” to things, but there is fear or anxiety behind it and you don’t understand why. On the other hand, saying "no" feels bad or wrong; so you really can't win. In romantic relationships, you feel misunderstood, uncomfortable, or lonely. You may have trouble expressing or identifying your needs. You feel unsatisfied with your relationships and you're ready to start living authentically. You can achieve satisfaction through authenticity by understanding and meeting your needs.

The decision of finding the right therapist for yourself, your child, or your family can create a lot of anxiety. Individuals and families are taking the risk of allowing me to share in their life paths and vulnerabilities. This is why I work to build a trusting, long-lasting relationship with you. I have extensive training and experience working with a variety of populations, including mild to severe mental illness, as well as diverse groups, including children, youth, adults, and families. I specialize in treating individuals with various diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, sleep disorders, and chronic pain.

Are you feeling stuck, uncertain, depressed, anxious, disconnected? Whether you need help processing a specific situation, are feeling too close to the edge, or just need someone to listen to you empathically, I can help. I believe having a connected mind, body and heart is essential for overall wellness. My goal is to collaborate with you to find a path towards living a more adaptable, healthy life. I am passionate about navigating you to conquer fears, realize your value and reach your full potential.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor based in California. I relate to clients with a mix of compassionate listening and down-to-earth dialogue. My approach to therapy is eclectic, primarily what's called "client centered." My toolbox includes body awareness, mindfulness, and expressive arts. It's my belief that the relationship is the most important factor in successful therapy. I’ve worked with a broad diversity of individuals, couples and families.

It’s rarely ever easy being human, and given the additional uncertainty, unease, and stress these past few years, it sure hasn’t gotten any easier. So whether you're feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, stuck, lost, or are struggling in your relationships, including the one with yourself, looking for help makes a lot of sense. Mindset shifts, tools for coping, and emotional support are the heart of what therapy can provide, not to mention simply having a safe space to talk to someone about what you're going through.

I believe everyone's feelings, personal history, strengths, and struggles are unique. At the same time, we are all a part of the connected, human story. But sometimes we can feel alone in our suffering, or even when we try and achieve positive goals. I work with adults, couples, and families by using my diverse training in a way that fits their particular styles and needs. Through relational connection, collaborating on concrete coping skills, and exploration of current and past patterns, I have seen tremendous healing in my partnership with clients.

Life is complicated. Messy. Painful. And it’s easy to lose sight of life’s beauty and joy when we’re hurting. I believe the human connection we form through therapy is key to healing and growth, as confronting pain and suffering together allows life’s beauty and joy to re-emerge. If you choose to work with me, I will use our connection to determine when and how to shift in and out of various roles, so you might experience me as many things: investigator, mentor, observer, coach, ally. But above all, we engage together as fellow human beings living in this complex world, with the shared endeavor of improving your well-being.
