Therapists in California

Моти Политыко выпускник Раввинского Колледжа Америки и обладатель второй степени по психологии из Antioch University в Лос Анджелесе, где он прожил большую часть жизни. В настоящее время, Моти живёт с семьёй в городе Феникс, где ведёт частную практику по психотерапии. Рождённый в Минске, Моти говорит и пишет на нескольких языках.

Я подхожу к терапии с позиции признания первичной потребности человека найти смысл и цель в жизненных ситуациях и переживаниях, особенно болезненных. Доказано, что это абсолютно необходимо для психического благополучия и устойчивости, учитывая неизбежные изменения, с которыми мы все сталкиваемся в жизни. Поэтому, независимо от того, испытываете ли вы страдания в результате гнева, депрессии, тревоги, горя, зависимости, травмы или дистресса в отношениях, моя задача (с учетом моей подготовки и опыта) - дать вам инструменты для уменьшения страданий и показать, что в конце тоннеля есть свет.

Я в основном работаю с парами. Я также работаю с отдельными людьми и веду группы где люди могут вместе заживать в сообществе. Я люблю свою работу. Я считаю большой честью и привилегией быть вверенным тому, что происходит на самом деле. Я очень забочусь о том, чтобы терапия была полезной для вас. Я встречу вас именно там, где вы находитесь, с большим уважением. Затем мы работаем вместе, чтобы доставить вас туда, где вы хотите быть.

Вам нужна поддержка. Я здесь, чтобы помочь и поддержать ваш процесс исцеления. Целостное исцеление означает доверие и следование руководству своего тела в направлении исцеления. Я считаю, что симптомы - это не то, с чем можно воевать, а, скорее, они могут быть компасом для отслеживания эмоциональной боли. Я приглашаю вас ближе познакомиться с ощущениями вашего тела через внимательность и помочь вам воплотить в жизнь процесс исцеления и освобождения.

Я готов работать с Вами над созданием ситуации, в которой доверие, открытость и упорный поиск неизбежно помогут Вам осознать новые возможности и пути для преодоления трудностей. Пусть язык не будет преградой в этом процессе.

Do you often feel disconnected from others? Do you pretend to be “fine” while you’re actually struggling on the inside? Do you have a hard time managing your symptoms? I understand your pain. I specialize in working with people with trauma and PTSD, as well as grief, burnout, and stress. I have many years of experience working with mental health providers and other healthcare professionals. I am a LGBTQIA-affirming provider; I also work with creatives (artists, writers, illustrators, musicians, etc) who struggle with the “Imposter Syndrome.”

I am here to help you overcome life's challenges and thrive! At times, we are all bound to face hardship, feel disconnected, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. How much is feeling miserable costing you now? If left unattended, your struggles can have a significant impact on your overall well-being and the quality of your life. I believe that you are capable of recovery, growth and change. You don't have to struggle ALONE! Together we can address your pain, negative thinking patterns, losses and develop goals to help you live your best life. You will understand yourself better, develop new tools and reclaim your life!

As we age, our well-being is impacted by various life transitions such as retirement, physical health issues, relocation, and loss of loved ones. I provide assistance in navigating this new territory with a focus on building resilience, supporting personal agency, developing coping skills, and increasing mindfulness. During psychotherapy sessions and care consultations, I offer guidance in the following areas: mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, sleep disorders, grief and loss, living with illness, disability, and chronic pain, planning for retirement and aging, caregiving and care-receiving.

Anyone who has ever experienced trauma cannot overlook the excruciating pain and fear it instills in the body and mind. Such pain, if left unattended may morph into depression, anxiety, chronic physical pain, and profound sense of loss and continuous grief. It can mask our identity and destroy our lifestyle. We turn out to be disoriented, stuck, and confined. Our lives become foreign to us. We find ourselves witnessing its broadcast, as opposed to fully experiencing it in the moment. Hence, we turn to our defenses in the form of compensatory behaviors, such as addiction and compulsions or lose the meaning of life.

I am a therapist that brings compassion, curiosity, and connection to the forefront of our work together. As your therapist, I believe providing a supportive, empathetic environment is key in creating a space where you can gain insight, access your inner strength, and move forward with your healing. During the process, we may look at your past to see what beliefs still serve you and which do not, identify emotions and process them, and focus on navigating and developing your connections to others and self.

Sometimes, our relationship to others, and ourselves, has lost its footing. We may even find ourselves feeling disconnected and overwhelmed by difficult emotions. Though we often push through life’s challenges alone, the truth is, we don’t have to. In our time together, I hope to collaborate with you in identifying the patterns, thoughts, and feelings that may be blocking you from a happy relationship to yourself and others, even if it feels beyond words at this time. I believe an environment of warmth, curiosity, and creativity can help us heal in ways we may have never thought possible.

Life can be challenging and everyone needs support and assistance to navigate through the rough waters of life. My practice is built on providing assistance for you in working through the difficulties that life has brought you. I am here to provide feedback, insight, guidance, and reassurance to you. Therapy is meant to be an outlet for you, a way to improve your functioning, cope with negative aspects within your life, and learn new skills to improve your ability to function. Together we can work on your challenges and achieve your goals. If you are motivated and ready for change, I can help you achieve it.

Are your relationships and the people around you creating turmoil in your life? I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with experience providing therapy for individuals, couples, and children. I create a healing environment where individuals feel supported in exploring new perspectives and living better lives. I am committed to providing therapy that utilizes the best therapeutic practices available to address the problems and effect change in the lives of the clients I serve.

As a therapist with over 30 years of experience, including as a director of clinical services at a non-profit agency, I've worked with individuals of all ages, couples and families. I offer a wide range of therapy services, specializing in helping my clients deal with emotional and behavioral issues, including anxiety and depression. I also have extensive experience working with those undergoing personal transitions, family, marital and relationship issues, coping with medical challenges including loss and grief.

In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, it's common to experience stress, anxiety, and/or depression. Please remember, you don't have to face these struggles alone. I'm here to guide you on a journey toward understanding, healing, and lasting change. With extensive clinical experience, I specialize in addressing issues like eating disorders, life transitions, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, career counseling/school issues, and grief using evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique needs. I create a safe, compassionate, and confidential environment for you to explore your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.

I have been privileged to work with diverse populations, gaining valuable experience in assisting individuals facing various challenges. My passion lies in supporting those with substance use disorders and dual diagnoses, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and Borderline Personality Disorder. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities, fostering an inclusive and empathetic approach to therapy.

I believe that early in life we develop ways to cope with difficult experiences and environmental situations that we couldn’t control and throughout life those cope mechanisms become reinforced. For many of us there comes a point where some of the ways that we learned to exist in the world no longer adaptively serve us. This is often a time we find ourselves in therapy. I want to help you gain insight into those patterns and develop new ways of being in order to make positive changes. These changes often come from both evidence-based tools and deeper reflections.

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending" - Maria Robinson. Today can be the day when you take the first step towards change or it can be the time when you decide to enter a path of growth and well-being. As a therapist, my goal will be to help you in finding wellness and to uncover your true potential. While no one has life without difficult situations or no one can't change their past, still everyone has the ability to learn from their past and the ability resolve current challenges in life.
