If you grew up in a dysfunctional family it is essential to understand and heal from the emotional wounds you suffered in that environment. You internalized bad relationship styles. Your wounds may appear in the form of excessive fears, unexplained sadness, inappropriate expressions of anger and an inability to be creative. Facing the truth about your emotional wounds can give you the freedom to be your true self. In our therapy I'll provide you with the support and guidance you need, bringing a spiritual perspective, giving you an understanding of how your past affects your present.

Hello and thanks for visiting! If you are struggling with relationships, family trauma, dating issues, eating disorders, self-image, career and life-transition issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am passionate about self-discovery, empowerment and achieving one’s full potential and offer a direct and compassionate form of therapy. My goal for you in therapy is to be engaged in a collaborative process, one which promotes healing and growth. I believe that we all have the ability to turn our lives around, to love ourselves, and to experience progress and transformation.

Hi, thank you for visiting. After 20 years as a therapist, I have found that people need a combination of support, insight, and challenging interactions to help them move past obstacles they are facing. I work with individuals on the most intimate aspects of their lives, including their sexuality, relationships, and life and death issues. My style is interactive and relational, and employs uncovering family of origin dynamics, but also more practical, EMDR and Brainspotting methods to help make changes more quickly. My specialty is in all aspects of loss and grief, addictions, eating disorders, relationships, trauma and cancer.

Everyone has a life story filled with unique colors. Each color represents personal experiences, strengths, behaviors, relationships, and our inner world. Sometimes we find it hard to navigate through challenges and to face realities, which are unfamiliar and/or unexpected. Prior experiences may interrupt our current way of interacting, thinking, relating, and managing daily life. Stress contributes to increased anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and relational issues. Trauma can debilitate individuals, couples, and families creating abrupt internal changes and fears. Grief over individual loss needs to be honored and acknowledged. Change occurs as a direct result of uncovering new insights.

Do you seek relief from anxiety, low self worth, negative self-talk? Are you creative, highly sensitive, or feel like a "black sheep"? I can relate in both my being-human and therapy journeys... As a holistic therapist, I use brain science w/ tried and true coping tools plus somatic, Jungian, Parts Work, and expressive arts therapies. I believe we all have innate gifts + strengths that we "remember" and reactivate through meaningful connections that also birth self-trust. Together, we'll heal anxiety/stress, trauma, identity + relationship issues by exploring your stories, automatic beliefs, and emotions your brain/mind/body hold.

It’s easy to feel alone in your experience; deficient in countless ways. If only you could fix this or that, then you would be lovable, shame-free, confident, worthy, desirable, valuable… the list goes on & on. Where do these beliefs come from? Is change actually possible? Who are you if you allow yourself acceptance or love? Who are you, really?

I am Sergio Ibanez, LCSW. My focus is to provide support and guidance. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy (ages 5 +) using client-center approach. I use a wide variety of therapeutic approaches including, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), etc.). I am bilingual, English and Spanish. My client focus is ages 5 years and up. Provide individual, couples, and family therapy.

With over twenty years experience in LGBTQ counseling, research, and teaching, I have a deep understanding of our community. Among LGBTQ individuals anxiety and depression may involve feelings of emptiness, relationship problems, interpersonal sensitivity, or addictions. The roots of these struggles can vary, but it helps to have a therapist who grasps the alienating impact of growing up in a world that disavows the core of who we are. I will help you address these issues, and others, through a deeper approach that can feel energizing, challenging, and even liberating.

One of the best things my dad ever said to me was: Unless you believe in reincarnation, it’s time to be happy now. (Personally, I think this applies even if you do believe in reincarnation.) How to make the most of our time, our relationships, and ourselves - for me, these are the key questions that led me to become a marriage and family therapist. Along with traditional talk therapy, I use EMDR (if desired) to help you work through present challenges and past difficult experiences so that you can live more freely in the here and now - unencumbered by old self-defeating beliefs and fears.

One of the highest predictors of successful outcomes in psychotherapy is the therapeutic relationship. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the scientific research of attachment theory and the ancient wisdom of community: we do not heal alone by ourselves; healing occurs relationally—through rupture and repair—and by having new and corrective emotional experiences. I am a therapist who works with my clients as a collaborator, soul friend, and deep listener. I believe in the power of evocative empathy—the radical notion that it can be powerfully healing to be deeply moved by one another.

Sometimes we need additional support in our lives. You may be struggling with relationship challenges; feeling stuck; encountering creative blocks; seeking a sense of purpose and meaning; suffering from shame, self-neglect and self-criticism; working through grief and loss issues; emotional struggles around letting go of property and possessions; or desiring a career change. Therapy can provide assistance through our challenges, create new options, and lead to a more fulfilling life.

Have you ever envisioned inner peace becoming your guiding light through life's twists and turns? Image yourself stepping into a haven of tranquility and acceptance, where your struggles are met with understanding and compassion. Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, enveloped in unwavering positivity. Each person's story is a masterpiece, and I am here to honor and support yours. Clients like you love my "calm and sometimes funny" demeanor.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression and difficult life transitions, whether it’s with work, school, or relationships. Having received specialized training in EMDR, I am especially passionate about trauma recovery. I work with clients to help them heal from low self-esteem, toxic relationship patterns, debilitating fears, & negative self-beliefs that can result from painful childhood or adult experiences such as neglect, bullying, domestic violence or sexual assault. I take special care in helping my clients gain self-compassion and reconnect with their sense of self and inner resilience.

Sometimes it feels like you put your heart and soul into relationships and keep getting hurt. The times you’ve needed support the most, you’ve been left stranded and alone. You ask yourself: "What’s going on?" "Why does it feel like I keep attracting the same type of people into my life?". These are valid questions that many of us bounce around in our head but don’t always have the opportunity to process and understand. With my experience and training I strive to help my clients gain clarity and recognize their own patterns and guide them through a path of understanding and healing.

Do you often feel like no one understands you? Are you in a relationship where you are constantly trying to figure out what is going on? Are you confused as to why you feel unmotivated, have trouble sleeping, and aren't happy? I will help you feel less alone as well as guide you through a deeper understanding of what is happening for you. I am passionate about improving relationships, whether that's with friends, family or oneself. Most of us have a hard time identifying our emotions, or rely on feelings of happy, sad, mad to express ourselves. I will teach you how to recognize your emotions more accurately.

Whether you are having a crisis, struggling with a mental health diagnosis, need emotional support or want to have a better understanding of yourself and your relationships, I can help you deal with these issues. I provide a safe, and supportive atmosphere for individuals, couples and families to do deep personal work.

I am an experienced psychotherapist dedicated to working with individuals and couples on increasing self esteem, strengthening relationships, and improving communication skills. I focus on utilizing an individual's strengths to reinforce coping skills and self-esteem and I help couples to learn how to express their needs and communicate better to increase positive feelings and intimacy.

I am deeply dedicated to helping individuals and couples understand and resolve their problems in order to live more satisfying, fulfilling lives. As a result of 45 years of experience, coupled with extensive training, I am rapidly able to assess what is at the core of my client's difficulties. I then use a holistic approach that is a combination of education and therapy, which enables clients to apply what they have learned and ultimately become their own therapists. I believe that the problems we encounter in life are always learning opportunities, and that learning is a lifetime process.
