Teletherapy for California

My name is Aba Horthy (they/them) and I am a queer mixed nonbinary therapist who creates a nonjudgemental space for clients. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy, such as coming out, gender dysphoria & medical transition. I also specialize in (complex) trauma and PTSD as well as chronic illness, disability, long COVID, grad school anxiety, aging, grief & loss. I have a deep capacity for working with trauma and supporting clients who think their story is “too heavy” for others to bear. I see individual adults, seniors, couples & polycules.

Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you want to remain strong! You feel exhausted, irritable. It feels like you're riding an emotional rollercoaster! You may have trouble bonding with your baby. You feel lost and sad. At times, you may have scary thoughts and images about your child. You feel scared to say, it doesn’t feel so good to be a parent sometimes. You are not alone. You don’t deserve to suffer in silence. My own experience becoming a parent led me to find my passion in parental mental health. My purpose is to help you feel like yourself again. Being with someone who cares, and listens, that itself is healing.

Your past pain is real and it is common for that past pain to hurt in the present. You don't have to "just accept it". I have success working with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, domestic abuse, maternal mental health issues, family discord, and also have extensive experience working with children, adolescents and families. My clients trust that I can help them over come whatever their challenges are. One of my passions is Prenatal Bonding and psychology, enhancing the bond between mother and child to improve birth outcomes and reduce difficulty in delivery.

I believe in human resiliency. I have witnessed profound healing, strength and transformation in lives through the process of psychotherapy. With a therapeutic relationship; awareness, learning and renewal occur. Relationships failing? Body image issue? Feeling stuck, insecure, depressed or anxious? Therapy supports emotional intelligence so that we can face these challenges with new perspectives. Introspection & support are an important part of objectively looking at ourselves, our habits, relationships and lives. With these tools, healing conversations, insight and more, change is achieved.

You want to feel content and self-assured but inside you are struggling with second guessing or feeling stuck or out of control and powerless. Maybe you are feeling that something, deep down, could be wrong with you. Or maybe you are frustrated, resentful and angry at being misunderstood or unappreciated. Do you feel like no matter how hard you try to be the person you are “supposed to be” it’s never enough? You might feel like giving up because you are tired of trying to improve your life, but keep repeating the patterns that make you feel like you will never measure up.

In our challenging era, new trauma may emerge, activating old grief. Are you feeling lost, seeking meaning or direction? If you feel trapped in patterns that no longer reflect who you are becoming , a Jungian depth psycho-spiritual lens may call you. Since 1997, I have aided individuals in soul exploration. grief, crisis and loss of meaning with dreamwork, astrology, alchemy, creative exploration and BodySoul. I trained with Marion Woodman's BodySoul Leadership Program, Hypnotherapy and TRE ( Trauma Releasing) and have over 40 years of esoteric systems study.

Working with children, teenagers, adults, and families has been my priority for the past 7 years in order to help them develop the skills they need to build healthy lives. My goal is to create a safe environment in which individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves openly and free of judgment. I believe in working as a team in order to help each person develop insight in themselves and their situation, while cultivating their strengths, and highlighting their resiliency. When needed, I involve parents, families, psychiatrists, and physicians in order to ensure collaboration to increase the client's support within treatment.

Your life journey may take you to places and stages that issue challenges you might find overwhelming and expose you to painful experiences that leave you with deep scars and lingering hurt. But you are not alone. Facing feelings of frustration, pain, or a lack of direction, you might have a hard time accessing your inherent resources and finding hope for the future. And I am here to help you do just that.
