Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in 92663

Welcome my name is Denise Bonner, I am licensed therapist, working with individuals and couples for over 20 years. My purpose and intention is to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients within a framework of non judgement and complete acceptance. This enables my clients to feel safe and comfortable to reveal their innermost thoughts and feelings.

I provide outpatient therapeutic services for individuals struggling with a variety of clinical presentations. However, I specialize in treating individuals and families struggling with Mood Disorders, Addiction, Eating Disorders, and Anxiety Disorders. For those patients that may need more intensive care, I am the Program Director at Lido Wellness Center, a PHP & IOP specializing in trauma and mental health treatment. We offer a comprehensive and unique treatment approach focusing on Somatic Experiencing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Life Skills to assist patient's in reclaiming their lives and fostering lasting change.

I believe therapy heals from the inside out, cultivates resilience and growth, builds a life of meaning and purpose, empowering one to fully engage with life as their authentic self. In a welcoming, sex-positive, affirming, judgement-free environment, together in partnership with you. I will mindfully customize my approach to meet your unique needs and comfort level, to bring about growth and change that goes beyond relieving distress. What I love about therapy is the journey, being able to help clients identify and enact value driven choices, accomplish goals that promote actualizing the meaningful life in which they envisioned.

I believe the most important part of making therapy successful is establishing a trusting relationship where I then empower the client to pursue their desired goals and overcome barriers preventing that outcome. I am very client-centered and base tools and modalities on the individual's strengths and personality. Often these interventions pull from theories such as motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-focused, and Humanistic. I am happy to intertwine Christian faith into treatment if desired.

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families struggling with changes, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and trauma/PTSD. I specialize in working with API clients, specifically on issues of immigration, acculturation, and intergenerational trauma. I'll support you through your journey of connecting with your true self, finding solutions, and having more peace in life.

“A joyful life is an individual creation that cannot be copied from a recipe.” — Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Congratulations! You have taken the first, often awkward, step in changing your life by looking for a therapist. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is being vulnerable and choosing hope in spite of your pain. Together, in your journey to healing, we draw a holistic picture of your problems to help you find solutions, heal from unresolved traumas, and find a deeper sense of purpose and connection. I help you reach your potential by exploring your uniqueness.

I believe that we can get stuck in the mire of hopelessness when we feel overwhelmed, or when our circumstances are more than we can handle. If you struggle with navigating your emotions, finding meaning/purpose, overcoming difficult or painful circumstances of the past (flashbacks, avoidance, fear, triggers) or even the present (arguments, emotional angst, numbness, irritation, anxiety, worry, hypervigilance), I want to support you. I specialize in anxiety; depression; eating disorders; relational issues; sex therapy and education, as well as helping folks work through general/sexual trauma using somatic or body-centered methods.

My clients are ready to feel safe, calm, connected and at peace. They want to discover who they really are. They are on their way to healing and need support working though life experiences that may have been difficult. They are at times overwhelmed with emotion, sad or anxious. Are you feeling sad, grieving, or struggling with adjusting, or nervousness? Are you in a relationship but feel distant, resentful, lonely or hurt? Are you struggling to connect or communicate with your partner? Doing the hard work of talking about these feelings can be difficult but will be completely worth it.

Are you in search of a dedicated Psychotherapist specializing in Adult and Youth Mental Health? Look no further! If you're ready to transform your life, let me guide you on your journey to lifelong success. Whether it's in your relationships, career, parenting, youth, social life, marriage, coping with grief and loss, or managing depression or other acute mental health challenges, I'm here to support you every step of the way. My expertise lies in Trauma, Depression and Anxiety. I offer services in both English and Spanish to cater to your needs.

I am Naomi Babcock LCSW, owner of the group practice Inner Wisdom Psychotherapy Associates, INC. and I consider my work to be a collaborative process to help adolescents and adults find the most effective ways to cope with emotional experiences that might arise as a result of various life situations or trauma. I have an extensive background in working with children and parenting concerns.

Have you discovered that your spouse or partner has been unfaithful, using porn compulsively, or has been engaging in any other sexual or addictive behaviors that are concerning? Have you discovered inappropriate text messages or emails on your partner's phone or computer? If you answered yes to any of the above you may be feeling overwhelmed, betrayed, and confused about what to do next. You will need a safe space to explore your emotions and thoughts.I believe you will need time to sort through your emotions and make decisions that are healthy for you and your family.

I spent the a decade working in the addiction treatment industry. Working in that industry opened my eyes to the need for adequate trauma treatment so I became trained as an EMDR practitioner. In studying mind- body approaches to trauma, such as EMDR, I learned about the effectiveness of Eastern Practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi and Meditation in treating a range of psychological challenges.

Relationships - sometimes it feels like we can’t live with them, but we can’t live without them. They are central to our home, work, and social lives, but can cause feelings of stress, anxiety, and even depression. If you feel stuck in the same old song and dance - there is hope! Even though it takes “two to tango”, one person can be the catalyst for change. If you are a parent struggling to get through the day, a spouse hiding how you really feel from your partner, or an individual desiring a relationship, but feeling defeated that no matter how many dating apps you try, “the one” doesn’t seem to be out there... you are not alone.

I would describe my therapeutic approach as empathic, compassionate, non-judgmental, collaborative, and empowering. It is important that my clients feel seen, heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that fostering a safe and secure therapeutic relationship is crucial in the therapeutic process. I also believe in meeting the clients where they are at any given moment and empowering them to discover insights and skills that work best for them.

I begin treatment with a client-centered approach by actively listening, demonstrating positive unconditional regard, and maintaining a non-judgmental attitude. I believe building trust, promoting a safe space where my client’s values and experiences are respected, and demonstrating my advocacy for their efforts is fundamental for engagement in treatment. Gathering information about my client’s background, engaging in ongoing assessment of their motivation and perceptions toward treatment, and identifying factors that facilitate and challenge their treatment process is also imperative.

I have worked as a medical and psychiatric social worker/therapist in hospitals, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and in private practice. With respect and compassion, we will work together to increase self-awareness and forgiveness for ourselves and others.

It is time to actually make those changes you have been really wanting. You know your past is holding you back, you just aren't sure what to do about it. The pain from the past, the old family issues, the failed relationships - they are dragging you down. Sure you have supportive friends, but at this point, even they aren't sure what to say. If simply talking about it was helpful, you would be on your way by now. The next step, toward actual change, is to do something - and that is where therapy can help. Let's figure out why and how you are stuck so you can make changes.

Immediate openings as of 01/2024. Welcome, I'm glad you are here to see how you could benefit from virtual therapy sessions. Creating meaningful change is difficult, but developing into the person you want to be is always worth the effort. Invest in yourself! I would be honored for an opportunity to help you explore who you are, how you are struggling, and how you want to move forward while developing the internal strength to be the best version of yourself. Join me for a process of self exploration, growth, and development while creating a more complete and positive sense of self.
