Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed on a daily basis? Does it feel like your mind is working against you? Do you feel like you're never good enough? How you feel about yourself and the way you perceive the situations in your life is the key to how happy and successful you are. I can help you decrease the anxiety and depression that creates this mental confusion and may be preventing you from creating the life and the relationships that you want. Please check out my website at www.dorinasterntherapy.com for more detailed information about my practice. Weekend and evening appointments are available.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples on relationship and marital issues, and also specialize in working with adolescents with issues such as ADHD, low self-esteem, self-destructive behavior, depression, trauma, lack of motivation and confusion regarding the future. Please call me for a free phone consultation at (949) 285-6074
Having the right view and understanding of ourselves is so important in coping with life's challenges. I use various mindfulness and self-awareness approaches, as well as teaching fundamental emotional intelligence skills thatI will help you to have clarity and gain the knowledge you need to work through the obstacles that are holding you back.
