Dual Diagnosis Therapists in Cotati, CA

Hello, I am Alina King, and I am a trilingual mental health therapist with specialties in dual diagnosis, chemical dependency, codependency, parenting, relationships and communication. Being an immigrant myself, I also have personal understanding of immigrants challenges.

Hi there, I'm Esmeralda! I've been practicing for the last three years. I graduated from California State University San Bernardino with a Master's in Social Work. Lately, I've frequently been working with dual-diagnosis clients and enjoying the work. My approach is client-centered and solution-focused. Motivational Interviewing is helpful when starting a therapeutic relationship to ensure the client's motive to seek treatment is understood.

Are you often feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Are you struggling with relationship issues, low self-esteem, trauma, PTSD, grief, or stress? Have you realized you are relying on food to change how you're feeling? If so, food has become your crutch and it's no different than using alcohol, drugs to numb, distract, and avoid dealing with the real underlying issue. And just like any other crutch, addiction or distraction, food will not solve the underlying problem. I am here to help you uncover the underlying issue, heal the hurt, restore balanced eating and create a sense of well-being.

The bumper sticker on my car says DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK. This statement sums up one of the most important wishes that I have for my clients and supports the work that we will do together. It is my opinion that our beliefs about ourselves and the world are our most powerful tools for change (for good or ill) that we have. At your own pace, we will explore the ways that your beliefs affect your thoughts and feelings, and work toward your goals, both great and small.

I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am here to support and empower you in your treatment journey.

My name is Megan Elliott, and I am an LMFT. I believe therapy is most successful when a healthy alliance is formed between the therapist and the client. My goal is to create a safe space for the client to bring whatever is most pressing for them and to support them with creating tools to manage the challenges and stressors they may be experiencing. I am trauma-focused on my training, as well as experience with anxiety/panic, and depression. I work primarily with people who have symptoms/issues related to trauma, ranging from anxiety and depression to substance use, to thought and mood disorders.

If you've been holding in your thoughts and feelings, hoping they just go away, and don't feel that you have an outlet, they'll likely come out in ways that impact your self-esteem and your relationships. You've likely been trying to solve your problems on your own for a while now but have realized that you need some help. I meet my clients where they're at using evidence based treatments tailored to meet your unique needs. I'm confident that we can work together to understand the causes of your struggles and address them with long-lasting results.

People come to see me to talk about what's going on in their minds, their spirits, their lives. I work with people on whatever level they wish. For some of you, this is about finding a way to communicate with other people. For some, this is about managing your own emotions such as anger or fear or sadness, or dreams or nightmares, or traumatic stress, or cravings and triggers. Some people want to develop pathways to successful personal change. Some want to dig deeply into their minds, even into their consciousnesses. I can walk with you on your journey into yourself. Dr. Angela Brownemiller. Licensed in California and Nevada.

Brainspotting is a neuro-experiential therapeutic modality developed by David Grand to heal trauma. Trauma is any experience that overwhelms one's resources and causes emotional, physical or psychic distress. The brain compartmentalizes traumatic experiences so that the person can continue to function and move forward in life, but there is a price to pay for compartmentalization, i.e., unexpected reactivity, depression, anxiety, substance use and failed relationships. Brainspotting facilitates access to where the trauma is stored in the brain so that it can be processed and integrated, and cut-off, frozen parts of self retrieved.
