Chronic Illness Therapists in 90036

I am so glad you are here. If you are someone who has noticed a change in their quality of life and looking for a way to improve overall wellbeing, you are in the right place. I am a psychologist who specializes in a therapy approach tailored to people who may have a chronic illness or disability, chronic pain, physical injury, or any other physical health issue that has negatively impacted your wellbeing and wholeness. Coping with these physical conditions can be hard, and my goal is to work with you to restore balance and healing.

Are you experiencing grief and loss? Are you navigating health challenges or chronic illness? Do you have parts of yourself that are difficult to share with others? Have you experienced medical or relational/attachment trauma? You've come to the right place. As a queer therapist with chronic illness, I draw from both professional and lived experiences. I believe that therapy can be a reparative experience and that the relationship between a therapist and client can foster immense change and growth. I see clients both via telehealth or outdoors at a local park.

I am currently only providing telehealth services. I work with individuals, couples, and families to pay witness to and overcome the traumas and difficulties in their lives. My aim to empower and provide support to those who have anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, and chronic illness.

I help people struggling with crises, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, difficult life transitions, chronic illness and other issues. I empower and help my clients increase their confidence, facilitating the process of taking back control of their lives. I help couples get unstuck from conflicted interactions.

I have a growth-oriented approach and enjoy working with people who are looking to understand themselves and find meaning in their lives.

As a queer, trans, chronically ill therapist, my approach to therapy centers you as the expert in the room. I believe the wisdom in your lived experience will help us collaboratively create a healing space that supports you. Most of the people I work with inhabit identities resistant to social norms primarily adolescents and adults who are transgender, non-binary, polyamorous, and or neurodivergent. I also provide support to caregivers and family members of transgender youth and other LGBTQIA+ folks.

Serenity, Equanimity, Peace of Mind. Are these qualities sorely missing from your life? You are not alone. Most Westerners experience rushed living, lack of acceptance, anxious and depressed mood - what inevitably amounts to suffering. While pain is a universal experience, with practice suffering can become optional. But lack of skill, low motivation, and general haggardness of life prevent many from consistent self-care which can alleviate suffering. If this is your story, The Serenity Center was opened with you in mind. Reducing suffering to manageable levels is an achievable goal - and all you may need is a skillful guide.

You're putting one foot in front of the other and you still feel lost, stuck, or overwhelmed by events and emotions in your life. Or, perhaps it's become hard to tackle the day-to-day and you're longing to reconnect with the person you used to be. Maybe you feel caught in the past or tangled up in the future, disconnected from all that your life has to offer in this moment. Whether you know exactly how you want your life to shift as a result of being in therapy, or, you know only that you want to feel better than you do now, there is the possibility of living the life that feels best for you.

Are you feeling stuck in your life, your relationships or your job, or going through challenging life transitions? I strongly believe that we all have tremendous capacity for change, growth and healing.

Psychotherapy that integrates body, mind and spirit can help you move beyond the problems to release the creative energy, optimism and hope necessary to lead you to a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Are you experiencing a big life transition? Have you experienced a loss? Or maybe just need a little extra support and guidance? As your therapist, I will approach challenges with an open mind and seek to meet you where you are at. My hope is for clients to walk away from sessions feeling heard and seen. I became a therapist to be able to provide a safe space for individuals to process life’s twists and turns in addition to helping clients find their inner truths. Clients like you find me to be warm, authentic and supportive.

I’m Paul Allen - you can call me JR - and I can help. I provide online therapy to clients from California, New Mexico and New Hampshire. Are you ready to see changes in your life? Relationship?

After 14 years of higher education in psychology, I use a variety of evidence-based methods to address a broad spectrum of challenges for adults and teens from diverse backgrounds. Some people require a more structured approach with homework and skill-based work to enact change. Others require a more fluid and exploratory approach to develop insights used to improve outcomes. We usually need a combination of both. Regardless of the course of treatment, I am active and engaged in your process and always adapt my approach to you. I am outcome focused and work diligently along side you to grow and meet your goals in a timely way.

Rather than casting problems in leading roles, it is people’s hopes and dreams that are given marquee status.
