Divorce Therapists in College Hills, Glendale, CA

Natalie is a licensed marriage and family therapist and Anger Management 818 facilitator working in private practice. Natalie works with individuals, families, children, teens and adults including but not limited to relationship issues, divorce, anger, anxiety, depression. Natalie has also received education and training in CBT, Mindfulness, Child Abuse, Anger Management, Domestic Violence, and Trauma Focused Therapy. Natalie's passion is helping client's overcome emotional and psychological distress by a Narcissist. Narcissistic Personality Disorder displays traits who have lack of empathy and an inflated sense of self-importance.

Depressed & anxious adults who are self-critical and self-shaming and couples who bicker and get entangled easily are the populations I serve. Childhood roots of these patterns are explored, while clients learn to replace criticism and shame with kindness. Clients learn to "sit still" with emotions, rather than avoiding uncomfortable feelings through compulsive, "busy", or destructive behaviors. This process assists clients in reducing depression and anxiety, while increasing self-confidence, assertiveness, creativity, and tolerance for intimacy. Couples learn to communicate feelings and needs without using attacking words, and learn how to dis-entangle from eachother after "buttons" have been pushed.

I like to think of therapy as a journey and I feel honored and privileged every time I get the opportunity to take a journey with a client. I work from a wide variety of psychological orientations but I am especially fond of family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology. I provide therapy in a warm, nurturing, non-judgmental environment. I work with all realtionship issues and have a special interest in chronic illness, grief and loss and adolescent issues.

"With almost 20 years clinical experience, I specialize in providing treatment tailored for individuals and couples who recognize that there is something interfering with their ability to function or enjoy their daily life. Utilizing a variety of techniques, I help my patients identify their immediate needs and their long-term goals. I work with both the first-time therapy patient as well as with those that have experience in the therapeutic process. I believe that we desire purpose and connection. I assist in exploring life's choices to improve clarity, relationships and an overall state of well-being."

My approach to therapy is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can be seen and heard. My goal is for clients to thrive. I provide support and guidance to individuals and couples dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression and grief as well as the stresses that can arise from relationships, career, parenting, fertility, aging and identity. My work is based on the understanding that therapy can be invaluable in processing life's many transitions. Whether you are in crisis or simply need support and a place to talk, we will work together to realize the positive and lasting changes you seek.

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of children, adolescents and young adults along with the families who support them. I have extensive experience in treating mood disorders, self-harmful behaviors, behavioral difficulties and issues related to identity, relationships and entering adulthood. Additionally, I work extensively with people who are experiencing grief due to loss, trauma and abuse.

I see psychotherapy as an emotionally reparative relationship. We are hurt by people, and we are healed by people as well. After over 35 years of this privilege of helping others explore the issues that have created barriers to their experience of a full and flourishing life, I have learned that human beings are amazingly resilient, and they can heal and grow and experience new beginnings. We are never limited by our past, but we sometimes need help figuring out how to accept and work through the grief and disappointments of our past before we can create new patterns of health and connection.

Thank you for considering me to be your Therapist. I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since March 2010. My practice focuses on helping individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or family-related issues. I also work with couples who struggle with communication, infidelity, sexual-related matters, conflict resolution, parenting problems, and financial concerns.

Welcome! My approach to therapy is collaborative and focuses on insight, empowerment, and making meaningful changes in life. I offer support around anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness, life transitions, traumatic experiences, creative blocks, burnout, improving relationships, and contemporary existential crises. I am particularly interested in mindfulness, attachment, and neurobiological perspectives in therapy. Because of my background as an artist, I enjoy working with other creatives, and helping people tap into their innate creativity. I am bilingual in English and French and offer sessions in both languages.

Synchronicity: what C.G. Jung understood as meaningful chance. Finding a therapist involves courage, commitment, and intention...and then synchronicity brings you to just the right therapist who can soulfully, heartfully accompany you as you find your way and discover purpose, joy, and meaning! I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years working with individuals, couples, and families from a range of cultural backgrounds, as well as with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and work/life challenges/transitions. I am a seasoned therapist serving individuals' inner process, creative talents, and higher calling.

You are looking for support for emotional and/or physical pain. You’re worried, sad, and have questions about your life. Your relationships feel imbalanced, but you can imagine a more authentic way of being. You want to feel less burdened by fear, and you are ready to embark on your healing journey. Therapy is the place to do this work. Together, we can gently uncover the roots of your unease, identify triggers, and establish productive coping mechanisms. We can build your self-worth and tap into your innate vitality and well-being so you feel centered and move through your day with energy and ease.

New beginnings can often be disguised as painful endings. I work closely with those who have been through tragic events, suffered childhood abuse, those who have been victimized by others, as well as those who might feel like they have nowhere left to turn. My goal is to help you find your inner strength, and to courageously be free to display it and be proud. I am empathetic to my client’s needs, ambitious to provide support, and offer a nonjudgmental space for you to share and truly be heard.

Are you struggling with trauma, grief, or loss? As a first-generation Armenian-American from an immigrant family, I understand the unique challenges that come with navigating relationships, family, and work while carrying around the complexities of intergenerational trauma. Grief and loss can take many forms, and not all are widely recognized or supported by society. This is called disenfranchised grief, the type of grieving that can leave you believing you are alone, but the truth is that you are not.

My name is Miguel Graciano. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of clinical Experience. Proud member of the Queer Community. I provide support and guidance to all individuals who deal with issues such as gender exploration, sexuality, caregiving stress, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship issues.

I feel honored to join you in the therapeutic process of self-discovery, healing, and acceptance of your limitless worth. My work is designed to support you in tuning into your body and mind to access peace from within. I work with adults, children, and families who are challenged with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, and conflict in relationships. Regardless of what brings you into the room, you can expect that our time together will offer a safe space where you can explore the learning from your past that may not serve you and find skills that support your unique healing process.

Facing life's challenges can often feel like navigating a stormy sea, but I'm here to serve as your guiding light, offering hope and resilience. I understand the pressures that come with our modern world — the anxiety, the mood swings, and the battles with self-esteem that so many of us face. At the heart of my practice, my mission is to bolster your inner strength through evidence-based, holistic approaches that align with your life's ambitions and values. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey, reshaping your growth narrative into one illuminated by confidence and empowerment.

I believe that we all have the resources within us to heal, and yet sometimes we need a little help. The right connection between a therapist/client can help start that healing. Maybe your teenager is sullen and isolated. Maybe you are in love and scared to be truly seen by another. Maybe there’s an angry side of you that your family doesn’t understand and a vulnerable side that is too scary to feel. Together we can work on acceptance, healthy coping skills, and letting go of bad habits. Without judgment, we will build an understanding of who you are as a person so as to realize your strengths and fortify them.
