"Are you suffering from anxiety and depression, or having symptoms such as insomnia or a change in appetite, have feelings that something is not quite right but feel stuck as how to change. We are often unconsciously drawn to familiar situations we learned in childhood. Events and relationships in the earlier parts of our lives have affected us, and draw us into familiar situations where we repeat unhealthy choices, that are often not in our best interest."

"Anxiety is the body's natural response to danger, an automatic alarm that goes off when you feel threatened or are facing a stressful situation. Anxiety isn't always a bad thing. In fact, anxiety can help you stay focused and motivate you to solve problems. But, if anxiety is constant or overwhelming, if it interferes with your relationships and activities, or it keeps you from experiencing joy and happiness-- then your anxiety has moved from mild to moderate/severe. The bottom line is you don't have to be a prisoner to your anxiety. There is hope, support, and treatment."

Family Systems Therapists Family Systems therapists in 90048 view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family. Therapists with the MFT credential are usually trained in Family Systems therapy.
