Are parts of your life not working? Tired of doing this alone? I can help and use integrative methods of body, mind and spirit to address the whole person. If you are struggling with issues of stress management, self-esteem, difficult relationships, issues of substance abuse or co-dependency, I have professional and personal experience in these areas. Each person is unique so I utilize an eclectic approach to teach individuals how to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. We will spend the needed time understanding your situation so we can proceed with open minds and hearts. This is a positive first step.

My name is Vesal Vakili and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the State of California. I am currently pursuing my PsyD degree at Alliant International University, located in Irvine California. I view therapy as a shared and collaborative journey. I feel privileged to walk the therapeutic path with individuals, families, couples and instill hope, where there is hopelessness and uncertainties.

This can’t be your life! You expend all your energy worrying about the needs of others, the never-ending demands of your job, and striving to meet an unreachable standard. The tension that plagues your mind and body refuses to be ignored. Intuitively, you know something’s not right. You know how to get things done. That’s what propelled you into the status you proudly earned. But keeping this pace is draining the life out of you. Now you’re the micro-manager, clinging to control and scared to let go. You’re an emotional baggage claim, harboring all the emotions you never processed. You resent feeling this way.

Are you struggling in your life and looking to make changes? Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, substance abuse, or grief and loss? I have many years of experience helping people change and improve their lives. I approach my work with caring and compassion. I also bring 40+ years of experience as an RN to my practice.

Like many people, you may be feeling depressed, anxious, and tired of doing the same thing over and over again without ever really changing. You maybe stuck and unsure of what you truly want or possibly you're in the middle of making big changes in your career, your relationships, your stage of life. I know that transitions in general even when they maybe heathy can be so confusing and overwhelming and often may trigger deeper issues from the past. I have helped many people in these type of situations sort through their feelings and figure out what they truly want and need.

I work with adults and teens suffering with depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, grief, life transitions and in times of immediate crisis. I strive to provide a safe space where you can heal and grow. My approach is holistic and strength based. I have advanced training in EMDR therapy and invite you to view my website EMDR page.

You might be looking for support to manage a challenge that has come your way. This is a wise and life affirming choice. I find that obstacles arise as a way of offering an invitation to develop as human beings. It definitely doesn’t look and feel that way at first, but, as we look back on experiences, we know this is so. Meeting that invitation head on by having the neutral and clear guidance of a trained third party can make all the difference.

Sometimes, when faced with many of life's challenges, we can find it difficult to reach out. Often fear or shame get in the way of asking for help. But there is hope. Working with a therapist, you can begin to feel validated and discover that you are not alone. Do you have a fear of abandonment or fear of intimacy? One or the other can mean you're either a Love Addict or Love Avoidant. I can teach you how to love yourself instead of looking for it in someone else, and bring down your walls and be relational.

I am a highly skilled, proactive, compassionate, and empathetic Marriage Family Therapist with 15+ years counseling children, adolescents, adults, families, and grief therapy environments.

A lot of healing can happen in the context of a supportive and caring relationship. If you are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, marriage/relationship problems, parenting/family issues, painful life experiences or unhealthy habits, I consider it a privilege to walk that journey with you for a little while -- talking through feelings and circumstances, and helping you find the path toward change, healing, and inner peace. As a Christian, I believe that our emotional and spiritual sides are intertwined, and I incorporate Biblical principles in all aspects of the counseling. Call for a free phone consultation.

Do you ever wonder: Why am I so hard on myself? Why am I reacting like this? Where is this anxiety or depression coming from? Well those questions needn't remain a mystery. My aim is to help you feel empowered to find the answers you seek, and to explore how you can meet life's challenges in a new way. Taking that first step toward getting help can be hard, but it can be so worthwhile. Because when you widen your circle of support, you are opening yourself up to new resources, new perspectives and real solutions.

I work with individuals, couples, families and adolescents. I quickly get to know my clients so that we can co-create a plan that is right for them. Some people come with specific issues they would like to address. Others, are not sure why they are unhappy, feel nervous, are dissatisfied, and are not enjoying life. Together we investigate where this may come from, look for the root cause(s) and then create a plan for change. My business and entrepreneurial background helps me to understand the pressures that many people face daily, the challenges of balancing work & life, and the struggle to maintain relationships and a career.

If you're struggling with marital/relationship problems, addiction issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or a traumatic experience(s), I'm here to help. I also provide therapy for those having difficulty coping with a crisis, a stressful life transition, or a painful loss due to a break-up, divorce, or death. As a psychologist, I embrace the traditional values of developing a comfortable and trusting relationship with clients. The relationship I build is my priority and the primary means to help you feel better. Together, we'll help you develop greater self-awareness and a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

As a group of professional therapists, we come together to offer therapy services to individuals, couples, families, and children. We work with a wide range of ages (children, teens, & adults) dealing with various challenges and dilemmas. We believe in tapping into the natural strengths of each us, working together, and developing ways that can help us enjoy life and each other more fully. Researchers have found that the relationship between therapist and client accounts for a significant part of change.

Collaboration is the key to my therapeutic style. My clients value the strong relationship we create together and appreciate feeling supported with compassion and kindness. My calm demeanor promotes a healthy therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe processing difficult issues. I incorporate several approaches to therapy including; psychodynamic, existential, family systems, meaning-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy, all while coming from a trauma-informed care perspective.

My main focus throughout the therapeutic process is to provide a warm, caring environment, which allows everyone to feel safe and at ease. I believe that empathy, acceptance, and true genuineness are essential in creating a trusting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space, which allows you to feel a sense of relief, especially if you have been feeling alone, and not understood by others.

You are not alone. During this extraordinary time, many are scared, angry, sad and that is normal. I have only Wednesdays, 9am-2pm available at this time.
