Eclectic Therapists in Santa Barbara, CA

My passion is to support clients through empowerment in order for them to reach their goals. I work with adolescents, teens, women and men through short and long term therapy. My approach is to meet the client where they are at and find the best path that can positively propel them in the direction of their goals and further support positive change.

Do you believe the events of 2020 and beyond have shaped our current collective experience? I believe so and if you do as well maybe this is a time to start the work around enhancing mood, being less stressed, and improving interpersonal relationships. Therapy can be the first step in identifying goals and taking care of needs that may have been neglected during the pandemic and possibly throughout your life. Are you living your best possible life? If so, maybe there are a few small things that are requiring some minor adjustments and if not lets start on this journey together to the first day to the best days of your life.

From birth through death, each stage of life is dynamic and valuable. Through these stages, we sometimes encounter challenges beyond our own capacity and we need to reach out for help. I believe in healing. I believe we all have the capacity to recover and learn deeply about ourselves through our most challenging experiences. I enjoy working with people of all ages and in all life stages.

Are you searching? Are you stuck? Are you trying to figure things out and not finding answers? Has life become difficult for you right now?

You and I can work together to help you formulate more effective ways of handling your life circumstances in order to navigate through today and tomorrow. I can help you understand your thoughts, your emotions, and why you may feel the way you do. I can also help you find out why you may find it difficult to improve your quality of life.

I work with people of all ages. My approach is eclectic, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I provide a safe space for people to explore their emotions, behaviors, culture, family dynamics, and spirituality.

I work with people who are feeling “stuck” and want to gain insight and experience personal growth to help them live their best life. I have helped others learn to manage and overcome the following: trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, addictions, grief, and relationship difficulties.

If you're feeling stuck, anxious about your future, and finding it difficult to move forward in your life than I would love to chat with you.

I provide space to process feelings and also provide tangible skills so therapy is a daily practice. I work with teens (12+), young adults navigating the complexity of launching their lives, couples and adults experiencing burn out, anxiety, and difficulty seeing their own self worth. I believe each person has their own inner wisdom and I want to help you access it.

Hi, my name is Dr. Martin. In my seven years as a licensed psychologist, I have learned that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapeutic intervention; each patient brings their own unique experiences and skills. That's why I approach sessions with an eclectic and practical style, allowing us to collaboratively formulate goals and develop techniques for success.

I am Haley Beckwith, a licensed therapist and EMDRIA certified EMDR clinician serving both Santa Barbara, CA & Bend, OR. I specialize in working with young adults and adult trauma.

I would be honored to guide you on your journey to healing, personal growth and happiness. Accepting OR clients starting mid February.

Are you feeling defeated in your life? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues? With over 22 years of experience, I offer a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mind-body modalities to help you feel more empowered in your life. Together, we unwind the beliefs you hold onto that keep you stuck and limited. This allows you to make new choices in all areas of your life, enabling a state of peace, calm, and fulfillment. When you are no longer held back by a limited point of view, you are more flexible, open, and able to make positive changes.

Do you see your own issues, but can't seem to think or "will" yourself into more productive behavior? Perhaps you have a wonderful mate and family, but you are stuck in the same old arguments and frustrations, and you know your family's communication could be better. Maybe you feel angry, or sad, and you just don't know why. Perhaps you are hoping to come to terms with something very unfortunate that has happened to you, either recently or long ago. If you want to feel better about yourself and others, you have come to the right place.

Together, we can approach your challenges with curiosity and compassion; without judgment or shame. I can help you in learning to navigate your emotions, relationships, and work with more mindfulness, confidence, clarity, and inner peace. Personal growth can involve some growing pains, but by sharing that journey with a therapist and making therapy a part of your routine, it can feel less overwhelming. Rather than staying stuck, you can learn positive ways of coping, gain new perspectives, and live life more proactively.

Do you feel anxious, frustrated, or overwhelmed living within this CIS gendered binary restrictive patriarchal society? You do not have to continue to feel this way. I can help you expand your breadth of coping tools, communication techniques, and other skills that could help bring relief.
