Grief Therapists in Magnolia Center, Riverside, CA

My ideal client is someone who is ready to try something different to address issues they face, see things in a different light, and is willing to do the work to create the change that will help them be happier and healthier. I help clients to build their mental toolbox to address current issues and be better prepared to meet new challenges with confidence throughout the rest of their lives and clients who are open to this benefit the most. I love working with clients who are ready to prioritize themselves and commit to this journey.

I believe all individuals are deserving of love, kindness, and joy. This often seems impossible when life presents challenges, loss, or disappointment. We cannot choose what happens around us, but we can choose our reactions to life’s circumstances. The meaning we make will direct our path. I am committed to helping you identify constructive options that support your long term goals. Together we can practice emotion regulation, distress tolerance and positive interpersonal skills. All of these will contribute to personal growth, improved relationships, a healthy sense of self, and a meaningful life.

Fog, Heavy Rain, Snow and Smoke are all elements that can impair ones visibility. Well how about chaos, emotional instability, anxiety, depression, clutter, stress? While it's true heavy rain and dense fog can cloud our physical vision; environmental, behavioral and chemical stressors can cloud our mental visibility. My name is Mabel (May-Bell) and it is my goal and mission for you to become emotionally and mentally healthy while learning effective tools you can apply to every day life’s challenges as you encounter them.

Life has many challenges. Navigating those challenges is even harder. Do you find it hard to live life fully and authentically?

If you are tired of living like this, let me work with you! I value and create a safe, nurturing, and empathic environment for individuals and couples to explore underlying issues to relationship problems, depression, boundary issues, anxiety, grief and loss, codependency, trauma and addiction.

The use of alcohol and drugs, domestic violence, suicide, chronic grief and loss, internalized oppression, emotional, spiritual, and mental wounds are ALL symptoms not causes of imbalance. In order to heal, a community needs to deal with the causes of historical and generational, unresolved trauma and move toward balance. We acknowledge our inter-connectedness to all that has been created in this life and the unseen world. Healing will take place through the use of cultural and spiritual knowledge including creation stories, ancestral teachings, journeying into balance and wellness, as it takes everyone to heal the community.

Finding our strengths is an intangible but important part of living. We may find strength from relationships, growing opportunities, self awareness and devoting our energy to values we consider more important than ourselves. In entering therapy, the client's relationship with the therapist can be a step in finding that strength. I specialize in adults, either in individual therapy or with the partner. I also have experience in family therapy involving teenagers and young adults. I have experience in anger management, grief, work related stress and problems of isolation.

This will be a place where you can heal from past traumas and/or present issues that are making you feel stuck. I will meet you where you are and only take you where you want to go.

Imagine a ghost who is haunting a person when they are most vulnerable to take control of them. This is the way trauma shows up in our lives. It slowly reveals itself and every encounter is scarier than the previous. Furthermore, no one else can validate this experience because they cannot see the ghost at first, which leads the person to feeling alone, isolated, and vulnerable. I can come along side with you as you overcome this ghost. You can overcome your trauma in therapy with a safe and supportive environment to take on whatever it is that is haunting you.
