Teletherapy for California

We try to live lives that make sense & matter to us, but life changes can make you question who you are, your expectations for the future, & your relationships. Are you ready to experience a new sense of well-being, dignity & empowerment? If so, I can help. You've already taken the hardest step toward feeling better; reaching out. I use a compassionate, yet direct approach to help clients gain insight into patterns that have them feeling "stuck". I use evidence-based approaches, such as CBT & Solution Focused Therapy, so you can make the long-term behavior changes that will put you on the right track.

Hello and welcome. Psychotherapy is a transformative tool to assist you in centering your mind, body, and spirit. There is no need to limit your life or extend your suffering, I can help you find the relief you’ve been searching for. I’m trained, licensed, and competent in various evidence based practices. In honor of the diverse and multicultural world we live in; along with my own life experiences. As of result of this, I have evolved into an experienced Integrative Therapist.

Neurofeedback is able to help children, teenagers, and adults who have experienced Trauma, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), ADHD and Anxiety disorders as well as a variety of other mental health symptoms. Neurofeedback, also called EEG Biofeedback or brain training, helps train your brain to self-regulate and correct issues that impact your optimal functioning. A self-regulated brain improves the functioning of the central nervous system, mental performance, emotional regulation, and physiological stability. A dysregulated brain has difficulty calming down at appropriate moments, adding physiological symptoms.

The fact that you are reading these words tells us you have been attempting to overcome some type of life adversity. We often do not seek this type of help, mostly because of the many negative judgments that have influenced us since our childhood. It is these vary experiences, along with our own perception of them, that has caused and exacerbated the very symptoms we seek help for. It has been my experience that this history needs to be revisited, reviewed, and re-addressed so that we can overcome many of the chronic conditions that affect far too many in this world. “There is no birth of consciousness without pain”, Carl Jung

I provide quality mental health care for diverse populations. As a mental health therapist, I assist many by providing bilingual and bicultural therapy, consultation, coaching, workshops, presentations and more.

I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, life transitions, work/career changes, intergenerational trauma, the acculturation process and dealing with everyday stressors. I work with adults, children, and families, and have experience with diverse populations including BIPOC.

I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, gender, compulsive sexual and partner betrayal trauma challenges.

Are you feeling defeated, overwhelmed, hopeless or simply “not yourself” anymore? My name is Anastasia and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I believe that therapy should be a safe space for you to ventilate without judgment. In therapy you should be challenged in your own skills and strengths so that you can return to the person you once were before mental health challenges were present.

You might be navigating difficult life transitions and feeling overwhelmed by it. As a therapist deeply committed to your well-being, I understand that seeking help can be daunting.

Stress and worry can take its toll on our minds and bodies.

It can be difficult asking for help but I am glad you are taking this first step. También ofrezco servicios en Español y creo en la importancia de recibir terapia en el idioma en el que se sienta más cómodo.

Does it feel like your inner voice is your own worst enemy? Maybe you came from a family situation where you always somehow ended up feeling like you were “not good enough.” And now it shows up in your relationships, with you feeling insecure and afraid of being abandoned. In your work life - putting immense pressure on yourself to be “perfect.” And now you’re looking for therapy (and probably putting pressure on yourself to find just the right therapist so you don’t fail horribly at personal growth and confirm all your self-doubts.)
