Therapists in Thousand Oaks, CA

I utilize a client centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. In a safe, supportive, and non judgemental space we can explore the negative patterns in your life, work through any barriers, and move towards healing, growth, and change.

You are a good person. You are authentic, open, honest, and vulnerable. However, there is someone in your life who takes advantage of your good nature and makes your life a living Hell. While you are open and honest, they respond with secrecy, lies, and often blame you for creating your own stress. I am here to help you sort through all of the chaos and create some peace in your life. Call me and we can discuss how I can help you create appropriate boundaries, and/or start the process of finding another human who will treat you in the same caring way that you treat others. I have evening hours (after 530pm) for people who work days.

Are you going through internal struggle due to trauma? Do you feel anxious and depressed about the future? Do you struggle with family issues and relationship issues?

I’m here to help you explore unresolved feelings (anxiety, depression, anger, helplessness, grief, etc.) and develop skills to effectively cope with them. Thus, you can feel relieved and fulfilled in your relationship with yourself and others.

Hi! I’m Elise Baumann and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in Newbury Park, California. My philosophy on therapy is that it should be a positive and uplifting experience.

This is why I strive to make therapy an experience that brings hope, builds confidence, and helps you to recognize and understand your strengths and inner resources.

You might feel like you are stuck in an old pattern or at the end of your rope. You might be wondering, "How did I end up here?"

I offer compassionate support and hope for teens, adults, and couples who want something different with their lives but don't know where to start. Through gentle exploration and the opportunity to try new behaviors, you can experience growth and healing and have better, more fulfilling relationships.

How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one, but the lightbulb has to want to change.

Relationships are a dominant presence in our lives; we are meant to be relational. The relationships we remember from the past, experience in the present, and anticipate in the future are perhaps the most influential force in shaping who we are. I believe there are three types of relationships that therapy can foster health in - a person's relationship with himself or herself, a person's relationship with other people, and, for people of faith, a person's relationship with God. There is perhaps no better gift that could be received than a healthier relationship in these areas.

Seeking help can be scary and exciting, and it takes a lot of bravery and courage to take the initial step. You may be feeling like you are depressed and anxious due to your trauma. I aim to meet you where you are mentally and emotionally and help you grow, learn skills, and adapt to new changes. We can work together to identify your goals and needs and address the emotional and behavioral challenges you experience.

People can feel stuck only to repeat bad habits that keep them from goals and dreams. These patterns are usually what keep us stuck and frustrated. Change is possible and achievable!

A focus in my practice is helping clients to feel heard and understood as well as guiding them in making attainable goals that will enhance and enrich their quality of life. Working as a team, we will look at many aspects of the patterns in your life that may be harmful, ineffective, or simply unhelpful.

I work with adults and teenagers who are looking to manage symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Trauma.

I also specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transition issues such as career/academic concerns and relationship stress. I approach therapy with a person-centered mindset to create as comfortable and welcoming an environment as I can. I believe the trust built between you and a therapist is one of the more powerful tools we as clinicians can offer, and I hope to garner that trust in my own practice.

Feelings of stress, insecurity, and sadness are often a part of life.

Many have experienced traumatic events in their lives, such as violent incidents, divorce, accidents, or various types of abuse. These events often change the way one perceives and relates to the world, their relationships, their faith and themselves. I create a safe place to help one heal from these events and effects and provide tools to promote healthy choices for a better life. I have been in practice for over 35 years treating individuals, couples. Besides trauma I specialize in anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I am trained in EMDR. I also offer telemedicine.

Thank you for visiting my profile, I am so glad you are here! I welcome clients of all ages – kids, teens, parents, families, couples, and adults – who are brave enough to seek support and who are committed to their well-being. Whether you are dealing with relationship conflicts, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, loss, trauma and/or life transitions big or small, I am grounded in the belief that everyone can flourish to their fullest potential, and everyone has the power to rewrite their own story.

When we think about all the pain and suffering we endure during our lifetime, how much of it is necessary, and how much of it is avoidable? It is my belief that most individuals have the power to drastically change their own circumstances; yet we may falter by falling victim to our old routines and habits. The therapeutic journey is about questioning these automatic responses, while empowering you to take the steps needed to create long-lasting change. “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Viktor Frankl
