"6-6-2018-Not taking new clients now. Life has its ups and downs-not all the time. Being trained and having a sympathetic heart are good combinations as a therapist. My intention is to provide/propose changes and alternatives that are suitable to your needs and wants. I believe in a therapeutic environment that is collaborative, systems-oriented, which includes, empowering a person or family toward achieving life at its best. We all need it at some time in life. It's your life, treat it well! Call today!."

"Sometimes life gets so overwhelming that we need someone who can help us to get through the tough times. I approach emotional healing from a holistic viewpoint. I believe everyone deserves to be happy. I particularly enjoy working with teens and adults. I would love to help you on your journey to find peace and happiness. I work in both Redlands and Riverside. I can be reached at (909) 654-2129 or lisa.tobler.ccs@gmail.com."

"Three years ago I was living on the East Coast in a rural town.  Faced with miles of nothing but trees, a few passing cars and the occasional Amish buggy I realized I wasn’t in Southern California anymore.  Given the fact there were few street lights and even fewer street signs, I quickly realized it was time to buy a GPS.  This piece of technology made it possible for me to see where I was, and help me get to where I wanted to go. My passion as a counselor, is to help you get from where you are, to where you want be. "

"Walking our life path can be a difficult process; I believe it does not have to be a walk done alone. All lives have moments of joy and moments of difficulty, with some luck, some work and some self-compassion we can see our lives become more aligned with living a life that brings us more joy and gives us better tools to manage the difficulties. I use a client-centered existential approach to address wounds through compassion and the work of radical self-acceptance. Are you a POC wanting to explore the intersection of identities and searching for healing? You are my ideal client."

"I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship is key to one's healing process. My role is to remind you of the unique set of strengths you already possess, and to help you find creative ways to apply them to overcome adversity. My previous clinical experience includes work at a psychiatric hospital, substance abuse center, and community mental health agency. The variety of my past experiences allows me to utilize a diverse set of skills and approaches that I enjoy customizing to your unique needs and personality."

"The decision to begin therapy is a sign of strength, an indication that you are growth oriented and motivated. Professional counseling can be the bridge that allows you to not only work through life's challenges, but also realize your own strengths and resiliencies. We will work together to help you identify the underlying causes that may be keeping you from all that you are meant to be. I provide a safe place where you can find healing, growth, restoration and empowerment for lasting change. It is my passion to help you achieve relief from distress or improve your relationships."

"What are you seeking? For over 20 years, I've been helping people identify, understand and work through the core issues that have led to depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger, poor self-worth, unwanted behaviors and unhealthy relationships. I have worked with a range of issues, including childhood abuses and multiple sources of trauma."

"I truly believe all people are resilient and we can all grow from the pain and challenges we face. Relationships are central to our well-being, and the therapy process involves building a nonjudgmental, safe and trusting relationship. I am passionate about helping others, driven to help people reach their goals, and empathetic as well as compassionate towards all! My goals as a therapist include helping people to achieve relief from emotional distress, develop optimal ways of coping, and gain insight about the issues they are facing."

"As parents, we always want our children to be healthy and happy. My passion is to work with children/adolescents to help with emotional, behavioral and relational challenges. We can work on a variety of areas such as child abuse, bullying, trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and social skills problems. Individual therapy will offer your child/adolescent an opportunity to discuss problems one-on-one with a trained specialist. The therapeutic bond is formed through both talk and play therapy (sand play, arts/crafts projects, role playing and games); tapping into your child's natural way of communicating and expressing feelings."

"Do you ever feel like something is preventing you from engaging in your own life? Something like depression, anxiety, adjustment, trauma, grief, or an eating disorder? If so, please consider contacting me. Regardless of your struggle, in my practice you will find a comfortable and supportive atmosphere to reach your therapeutic goals."

"My passion to work with people started when I was placed into foster care at 15. It was during this time I realized how life experiences can change and drive our moods and behaviors. Trauma impacts and influences everyone and can alter the way we perceive and interact with people and the world. I will empower my client's to address their past traumatic events and begin to heal themselves through therapy. I believe that everyone has resilience within them and with the right support, client's are able to take back control of their lives."

"Life can be difficult...we all have our individual strengths and weaknesses. Clients in my practice seek counseling from a professional when problems at home and/or at work have seriously interrupted or threaten to harm important relationships. Counseling is a process that helps individuals to build up personal strengths and interpersonal skills. Counseling teaches us and helps us to practice the skills we need to cope with our weaknesses or to change them to benefit ones self and others. I look forward to meeting with you to help you begin the journey towards healthier and happier relationships."

"Have you observed changes in the mood, behavior, eating, sleeping or overall attitude of your child or teen? Noticeable changes, such as forgetfulness, not listening, crying, tantrums, weight loss, "bad" dreams, talking back, or being irritable, might indicate the need for counseling. Children and teens experience anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and chronic illness just like adults."

"Our Therapists will work with Couples Counseling - this is for those who are married or contemplating marriage; divorced or contemplating divorce. The goal is to assist couples with realizing their dreams together. Marriages fail because of this cliche, "we simply grew apart". We have seen couples take a marriage or relationship on the brink of break-up, and transform it into something stronger and more fulfilling than ever. For someone who had a critical parent, they might learn to survive by becoming a perfectionist, or becoming very rigid about how everything needs to be. It means that while you will choose to be with someone who gives you some good things, they will also come with some of those things that feel familiar in a negative way. You will find that they often seem to be the most incapable of giving you what you most need (and vice versa). The work of marriage is to complete the healing of childhood.PREPARE/ENRICH is a customized couple assessment completed online that identifies a couple's strength and growth areas."

"Afraid to burn out your friends with your problems? Or maybe you need more input than a friend can give? I have been there and found counseling to be life changing. Let's face it. We can all get stuck and not know what to do. I will walk with you through your struggles. Tears or laughter may be a part of our time together. I am a skilled listener and easy to talk with. If you are facing fears, relationship or marital struggles, depression, parenting problems, caring for adult parents, codependency or other personal concerns, give me a call."

"Do you feel alone and empty? Do you want peace and clarity? I am here to help and guide you to find your inner peace. Wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us. Each journey begins with a single, yet often difficult step. Let me provide you with the tools to help heal your wounds. Like Shannon Alder, I know that courage doesn't happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding in your life."

"Do you ever find yourself asking, How did I get here? How did my life take the direction it has? Perhaps you experienced some kind of trauma in your past - childhood abuse, a relationship trauma, or those received on the battlefield - and you are wondering why what happened in the past continues to affect and impact your life now. Maybe you've been thinking about talking to someone for a while now.... The first step is trusting someone with your story, and allowing that person to come alongside you on your journey."

"Our passion is supporting parents! Are your child's tantrums out of control? Do they melt down in stores or at mealtimes or bedtime, or refuse to follow directions, scream, kick, hit or bite when they can't have what they want? Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) may be the solution for your family. 100's of studies show that in as little as 14 sessions, PCIT can radically transform disruptive behaviors in children ages 1-10 and restore a sense of calm and joy to parents in every day interactions with their children. All family constellations are welcome. Scroll to bottom to learn about our Parent Support Workshops!"

"I believe we all struggle at times, particularly when the demands of life exceed our ability to manage them. Change can be scary, but therapy doesn't have to be. I believe we all have our own answers, and I see my role. My hope is that together we can find the tools to help you reach your goals and find more fulfillment in your life and relationships. Sometimes just a small shift in perspective can turn what feels like an overwhelming challenge into an opportunity for growth and change."

"Life can present us with unexpected grief, loss, pain and a myriad of emotions, often leaving us feeling alone, empty, lost, overwhelmed and scared. I see therapy as a supportive place to restore hope and assist you with coping strategies as you navigate through life's rough transitions. Therapy is a collaborative process, together we will set specific goals to assist you in reaching your full potential, cope with difficulties, and recognize your own inner strength along the way."
