EMDR Therapists in Pomona, CA

So many of us have cracks in our foundations due to difficult life experiences, painful childhoods, traumas, addictions, relationship issues, and health conditions. Life challenges can seem so overwhelming that growing into the person that we would like to seems impossible. I am here to help you reprocess past pains, shift negative perspectives and let go of harmful behaviors. We are all capable of so much more than we know, yet we stand in the way of ourselves. I have experience working with a wide variety of clients, which has helped me to grow as a helping professional.

You deserve to live the highest quality of life you can. Often times we try to heal from both emotional and mental pain by seeking out external factors that are rarely in our control only to see minimally lasting results. My work with you would focus on learning to look inwardly for growth and healing. Understanding how your body and mind respond to emotional experiences can help you be in control regardless of the external factors. You have everything you need to heal; you are not "broken" nor do you need "fixing" sometimes we simply get lost along the way.

Hello, my name is Angele Suarez, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 22 years of experience. I believe if I can help one person become the best version of themselves, then this will directly impact the other relationships in their lives. Through empowerment and support, the adults I work with will be able to model healthy communication and respect towards others (i.e., their children, family members, friends, colleagues, etc.), thus creating a domino effect. I enjoy working with adults and couples who are struggling with relationship issues, past childhood trauma, and parenting challenges.

It can be painful to struggle with issues and wish that they might somehow disappear. I understand how these issues can sometimes make you feel your life is stuck and that they can prevent you from living or enjoying your life more fully. I also know how difficult it can be to seek help or talk about these issues. This is why it is my approach to get to know each client and find an individualized and unique path to addressing the issues that are preventing them from creating a greater sense of well-being and happiness.

Learn how to express yourself so that you are heard and understood by the ones you love. I work with families, couples, and individuals to break generational patterns that no longer serve them. We all deserve to be connected with ourselves, our children, and our loved ones and I hold a special place in my heart for co-parents who want to put their children first but can't figure out how to collaborate effectively. In collaboration, we create a safe space to connect and relate from intentional intimacy.

As a mom, spouse, friend, and professional woman you are wearing many hats, and this can become difficult. At times you feel overwhelmed by life and after a long day of showing up for everyone else, there is nothing left for you. Everything appears okay from the outside looking in, but you can feel yourself cracking more and more each day. You may have fooled everyone around you, but you know the truth. You feel broken and wounded by past mistakes and trauma. You find yourself isolating from friends and family and turning down invites. That feeling of loneliness and sadness has just become too difficult to stuff down anymore.

Hello, I'm Leah, a licensed clinical social worker. I work with people to learn new coping skills so they can make the changes they want to see in their lives. A lot of it is working with emotions so they can communicate what's important but without the emotions taking control of behavior. I work with adults who want to learn to do things differently: get control of their emotions, figure out new ways to be in relationships with others, and stop letting "irrational" fears determine what they can and can't do.

Dear friend, I believe that with the right tools, you have the ability and resilience to prosper in life.

Based on your beliefs and what you value as an individual and as part of a family and a society, we can mold our interactions towards the therapeutic modalities that best suit you.

Do you sometimes feel that life is overwhelming? Try as you might you are unable to get on top of things? Are you asking yourself, “why now, I’ve been able to handle things before”?

Do you find it hard to focus or make decisions? Is it hard to enjoy things that you used to enjoy?

Just like pulling a weed from the root prevents it from growing back, I believe that therapy is most effective when we get to the root of problems and address the core issues contributing to your symptoms. I am here to build your insight into issues, help you process how and where they started, and give you the tools to prevent your symptoms from coming back once they're gone.
