Native American Therapists in Porter Ranch, CA

In the 20+ years I've been a therapist, I've learned that no two situations are the same. Therefore, I don't profess to have all the answers, but I'm very good at finding answers. I value getting to know people and finding out what has worked and what isn't working and then finding answers together.

5:30am: The alarm on your phone pulls you out of sleep. It wasn't restful sleep, but your eyes were closed…. so that's something. As your feet meet the ground, you struggle to orient yourself, it is Tuesday or Thursday? Urg... it's Monday! The thing is, you've done great. You've experienced success and on paper things are going well. So, why is the long-sought sense of freedom you worked for veiled with anxious thoughts, a never-ending laundry list, and a longing for some far-off island where you can find silence and no cell service. You want to feel safe and secure, that's why you have worked so hard.

I have found particular interest in working with children, adolescents, parents, and athletes using a CBT framework for treating a variety of problems. My services include individual therapy for children and adolescents, parent training, mental skills training and community outreach. I use learning theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and DBT in conjunction with cultural and contextual factors to provide a tailored approach to treatment that balances the individual’s (or family’s) clinical and personal needs. My strengths lie in building strong, compassionate, collaborative relationships, which are the basis of therapy.

Hello, I am an Associate MFT- Art Therapist. I am of Zapotec heritage, raised on Tataviam lands, known today as the Northeast San Fernando Valley. I understand the importance of clients knowing that their therapist is aware of the way systemic issues play a role in our mental health. I attune to issues of systemic oppression such as racism/white supremacy, colonization, capitalism, ableism, patriarchy, fatphobia, and other forms of structural violence and its related traumas. I am LGBTQ+ affirmative, anti-imperialist, and I offer holistic, non-carceral support.

Hello, I'm Katrina. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes people do better when they have support. So, this is what I do with those who choose to join in a collaboration with me to face their challenges and establish goals they undercover. Clients with chronic medical conditions that are causing them stress and disability. Clients who have co-dependency issues which have caused somatic conditions. Also, these conditions often cause depression and anxiety due to a person's limited abilities which I am comfortable treating.

Hi, I'm Megan Mathewson. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe that people have an innate capacity to heal and make desired changes in their lives, but the work of personal and relational growth can be difficult and doesn’t have to be done alone. I offer a safe and supportive space where we can work together on creating what you want to see in your life. I have worked with children, adolescents, parents, adults and families for over 10 years. I have worked with people who experience depression, anxiety, stress, trauma (and other adverse experiences), parenting, and relational challenges.

On the outside, you have it all together. But, on the inside, you're falling apart. You're the hero of your family, friend group, community, and/or profession. The person that everyone turns to for help and advice. Yet, the pressure to "have it all together" and "hold it all together" is eating away your confidence and sense of peace. Feelings of panic, fear, and overwhelm are getting harder to hide. You long to live life in a way that feels good, not just looks good. To have relationships that are more balanced and honest. You want to feel whole and at peace with yourself.

My name is Joel Gamache. I am an LMFT in California, working with teens, adults, and couples in a psychodynamic approach. I specialize in traumatic stress, resolving childhood experiences, panic/anxiety attacks, thoughts of death, marital conflict, and relational communication. I use a combination of body-based therapies, self-compassion, attachment theory, object relations theory.

Hello, I am Priscilla Nichols, LCSW. Life is both beautiful and unspeakably hard. I work with clients and families to discover understanding, healing, and growth. I like to think of my approach to therapy as evidence-based yet flexible/eclectic. I believe that successful therapeutic work is highly dependent on the relational bond between client/therapist. I work to offer a safe and genuine space to know and be known. I explore the past, present, and future within a genuine connection between client/therapist. I am direct yet empathetic.

I tailor my therapy to meet your individual needs and aid you in the process of healing. I do so from curiosity, a trauma-informed lens, and a client-centered orientation. It is my goal to create a safe environment in which each person can feel welcomed, understood, and accepted as their true self. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am trained in EMDR treatment for trauma-related symptoms.
