Female Therapists in Los Osos, CA

I want to feel better. I want to be closer to my partner. I don't know what I want to do in my life. I keep saying I'm going to start... (fill in the blank) and I get on my phone, I eat, drink or shop too much. I need more balance. I need to be heard and stop being numb. I want to enjoy life and relationships more.

Hi there! I’m Elizabeth, or Liz for short. I am experienced in working with trauma. This is a commonly used word and there are many definitions for it. What I mean is that I help people who have gone through events in their lives, whether singular or reoccurring, that have caused parts of their personality to separate from other parts. This could be experienced through relational conflict, addictive tendencies, dissociation, sex, drugs, procrastination, a lack of motivation, inner conflict, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping or eating. My approach is somatic and relational, working with what shows up in the present moment.

My passion is to help you gain confidence and have support in whatever you are going through- addiction, depression, relationships, work, social difficulties, complex family dynamics, parenting, teen struggles- anxiety related to it all. My approach is compassionate as we work on sifting through trauma and how that plays out in your every day life. I give you practical tools and use techniques that help you move from being unstuck to living a full authentic life.

Everything in your subconscious mind has the power to work for you - or against you. If you are experiencing patterns of behavior that are not serving you, hypnotherapy can help. You deserve to live your most healthy, vibrant life. I practice a specialized form of hypnotherapy that assess each person's unique suggestibility type, and I tailor each session to my client's individual style of communication and needs.

Hi, my name is Candice, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I really enjoy working as a therapist, and I take a non-judgmental approach and feel grateful and honored to have people let me into their space. I enjoy working with individuals from late adolescence to older adulthood. I employ active listening and ask for clarification when needed. I explore with the client and summarize what has been spoken. Many times, it is helpful to have someone as a sounding board, with a unique perspective on the situation. I am not confrontational in my approach but prefer to offer thoughts and ask for feedback.

Thank you for being here. I appreciate you taking the courageous step of looking at profiles and thinking about working with a therapist. I strive to be a partner in exploring your inner world.

Maybe you’re struggling to understand why no matter what you do, it never feels like "enough". You sometimes feel like you don’t quite belong in the world, or like others have some kind of shield and map that you were never given. You might even be incredibly self-aware of your grief or trauma, but have difficulty processing your feelings because you always had to push down your pain or focus on others. Maybe you’ve dealt with painful relationships that have made it difficult to trust yourself and your feelings. You might be dealing with overwhelming life transitions or trying to explore your identity and purpose.

Helping children, teens, and adults develop the capacity to live full, healthy lives is my focus. I bring warmth, openness, and a whole-person, collaborative approach to support individuals, as they work through their challenges and create tools to move forward and thrive.

I like working with people who recognize that they want or need to change something in their lives that they haven't yet figured out how to do by themselves. This includes people who feel they are stuck creatively-- working on a particular project that just doesn't move forward. Sometimes it is a question of what needs to change, as well as how to make that happen. While this process requires work that only they can do, therapy gives them a place to learn ways to do this work, using cognitive and experiential techniques.
