My name is Lynne Joachim and I'm a licensed Psychotherapist and have been seeing people of all ages for 30 years. I encourage people in therapy because it transforms lives and relationships in significant ways, especially the relationship with oneself. I was trained in Psychodynamic, insight-oriented therapy and am well versed in many different approaches to understanding the life span: adult development, the psychology of women, adolescents, couples therapy, and group therapy/support groups.

I approach psychotherapy with the belief that our experience and behavior are held in the body and spirit as well as in the mind. I work on an emotional and spiritual level where healing comes energetically demonstrated by significant positive changes in the client's attitudes and behaviors. My professional strengths include an empathetic quality joined with over thirty years of experience treating adults, teens and children in individual as well as couple and family therapy sessions helping to effect the desired results of a healthy and happier well being.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a second to get to know me. I am a certified professional life coach specializing in relationships and mental health. The long journey that brought me to this place in my life included growing up in southern California and moving up to Cal Poly, SLO where I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology/human development. For our first ten years as a family, we lived wherever the Marine Corps sent us! I’ve spent most of the last three decades trying to build healthy, connected, resilient relationships with my husband and our three kids. They have all grown up now - I guess we all have!

I’ve been practicing psychology in a variety of settings for nearly 20 years now. Currently, I split my time between my position at Dr. Nate Psych and my secondary role as a pediatric and adolescent specialist at The Weichman Clinic, a multidisciplinary mental health clinic located within Hoag Hospital of Newport Beach. I started my own clinic as a result of my lifelong pursuit for helping children, adults, and families manage their mental health struggles in order to live a more fulfilling life. At Dr. Nate Psych, I provide a variety of therapeutic services intended for children, individuals, and families of all types.

My approach cultivates connection and collaboration, offering a judgment-free space tailored to your unique experiences and aspirations.

Together, we strengthen the muscles of sitting with your emotions, reducing the impact of challenges like anxiety & self-doubt. Invite Future You to act in alignment with your values, free from persistent thoughts that hold you back. Let's make space for growth and create a path that aligns with the best version of yourself.

Have you been feeling like you need a change in your life, but are not sure how to go about making that happen?

Learning methods to make even small changes can lead to positive improvements. I am passionate about helping individuals identify their values so they can move intentionally in a direction that inspires them. In my work with couples, I promote collaboration between them that aligns with their personal values.

*I AM ACCEPTING NEW ONLINE CLIENTS* So much about our current circumstances is out of our control. We've been placed in situations we did not expect nor plan for. As a result, our levels of anxiety, depression, and disconnect from ourselves and each other may be higher than they have ever been before. Not only can these events affect us as individuals, they can also cause stress to our relationships with our significant others, children, and extended family. I want you to know that I am here to help in these stressful times.

My name is Karen Smith, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT138686), who is passionate about helping clients discover, or rediscover, their inner strength, and heal anything that is unresolved. My approach to providing therapy is taking a look at the whole picture, including the client's childhood, worldview, and current problem areas, and clearing out anything that could be holding them back from happiness and peace. I use EMDR, CBT, DBT, Psychoanalysis, and more, to uncover what led to the current undesirable thoughts and behaviors.

Is your unconscious decision-making getting in the way of the life you want and leading you to repeat the same patterns over and over again! Therapy can guide you in uncovering these internal processes and relational patterns, and lead you on a journey of discovery of how they influence and impact your understanding of self and how you relate to others. Whether you engage in therapy as an individual, couple, or family, there is unlimited potential to increase self-awareness, gain deeper understanding, build deeper connections and create more meaningful relationships.
