I truly look forward to meeting you. I feel excited every time I meet with a new client. It is the beginning of a journey we take together. It is an interpersonal and strengths based relationship in which it is safe for you to discover your fullest potential. I am kind and caring but wil also encourage you to look more deeply into your blind spots. I believe in respect, kindness and humor. I treat my clients as human beings, not as a diagnosis. I especially enjoy working with individuals feeling that something from their past is holding them back. And with couples who are feeling stuck. I love helping clients to find true happiness.

I have been a child therapist for the past 20 years, I provide therapy for children ages 0-18 years old. Modalities that I have found to be helpful when working with the younger population are the following; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate Family Therapy (Family Systems), where I support families in creating intimacy through none-judgmental communication. I assist parents through difficulties, and challenges of parenthood. I also work with adults/teens/children who are experiencing executive dysfunction symptoms or are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.

I combine a unique and specialized form of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based on Choice Theory with a Family Systems approach to treatment. I view maladaptive behavioral patterns as a result of inadequate or dysfunctional life choices. I assist my clients in recognizing these patterns of behavior and encourage them to draw realistic and practical solutions to the things that are hindering growth and happiness through the choices they make in life. I work collaboratively with my clients using a "here and now" problem-solving technique and develop a treatment plan that uses psychotherapy, exercise, nutrition, and social support networks.

I am a clinician focused on both deep emotions and practical coping. My therapy style is to collaborate with Clients to find out what works for you the best. It usually arises naturally from our body as body is the container for whatever we've been through. I believe psychotherapy can foster our personal growth and empower us to reclaim our capability to nurture and take care ourselves. I am specialized to work on perfectionism, professionalism, depression, anxiety, panic attack, trauma, stress, autistic spectrum, emotional regulation, relationship, family of origin, and cultural/racial issues.

The feeling of emotional pain, trauma, and parenting challenges can be incredibly tough, lonely and stressful. I understand that seeking therapy can require a lot of courage, and I want you to know that you are not alone in this process. It takes strength to take this step, and I am here to accompany you on your journey. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to lead a fulfilling life that is free from the burdens of the past, stress of the present, and the anxieties of the future.

Hello and welcome! My name is J.C. and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Southern California.

At times life hands out challenges that aren't meant to be handled alone. While some might seek out support from family and friends, others might not have someone to turn to or struggle reaching out for help. Fear of judgement and not feeling heard, prevents some from receiving the support that they need. I am her to provide that help and support without judgement. I am here to provide the space to speak and be heard.

Hello there! I’m Marco. If you’re struggling to cope with life’s challenges, I can help you navigate these obstacles and discover a path forward. I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist committed to helping people learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and the people they care most about. My work focuses on targeting ineffective patterns, habits, and beliefs around the self and interpersonal relationships.

Are you at a place in your life where you need some support and guidance to move forward? It may feel like you’ve done all you can, and you’re not sure what to do next. It may even feel like past patterns, keep repeating themselves. You’re not alone. Change is hard, and there are many reasons why our past and they ways we’ve learned to relate in the world keep giving us the same results. The good news is that we can always learn new ways of being and relating, ways to move forward, find new meaning and continue to learn and grow. I hope that you will take this next step on your path of healing.

I value the importance of human connection and collaboration. The relationship and connection which a client and therapist develop between them is the single biggest factor for successful psychotherapy. I am of the belief that therapy should not be a forever journey, but rather an opportunity to become introspective and explore the path which is right for you personally.

I don't believe there is an ideal client. I believe everyone is different and needs someone to realize that their experiences are unique and important. A client needs someone who is not going place a label them or follow only the lessions we learned in graduate school. Someone who is going to listen and help guide them to the best solution for them. As your Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), my commitment is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions and experiences. Your well-being is my top priority, and I am honored to support you every step of the way.
