Teletherapy for Burbank, CA

When people come to therapy, it's as if they are saying, "I really don't want to walk home by myself". There are few opportunities to spend one day per week, dedicated to you (or your family perhaps)...accompanied by someone who is empathetic, non-judgmental, and has reserved a safe space for you to release, explore, & process your thoughts, feelings, fears, reactions, progress, and triumphs, all "without guilt".

Do you struggle with shame and self-judgment? Have you experienced the same conflicts, over and over again, with family, friends, partners, or bosses, and not known how to resolve them? Have you wondered why everyone else's life feels so easy while yours is so hard... or worried that you are so broken, you will never be happy?

People often seek out therapy because they feel stuck. In their careers, in their relationships, in their lives. I know what that’s like and how overwhelming it can feel. I became a therapist to help people overcome this struggle and get unstuck. I see therapy as a collaborative partnership; one that’s nurtured in a non-judgmental and safe environment. Believing that our relationship facilitates growth, I utilize psychodynamic and mindfulness perspectives to guide you toward understanding your behavior and a deeper sense of yourself.

Hi, I'm Helen - a Filipina Asian American therapist. First, I want to acknowledge your decision to start therapy. This decision might come from the realization that "something isn't right". You might be scared, lost, and dealing with a lot of anxiety, sadness, and grief. You may even be struggling secretly. But, you don't have to struggle through this alone. l believe therapy is a brave space to reclaim your identity and begin learning the skills necessary to create a meaningful life. We can work together to help unlearn patterns that don't serve you, to make space for healthy communication and peace.

Are you the parent of a stressed out, anxious teenager? A 20 or 30-something looking to break negative thinking patterns and get a better handle on your mental well-being? I offer empathetic support and trauma-informed tools to manage responses to life's many difficulties. I have a special interest helping teenagers navigate the ups and downs of adolescence, young adults working through "stuckness" within their relationships, families and careers, and survivors of trauma.

Welcome! I am a queer psychotherapist working from a social justice and anti-oppression framework. This means that we will work together to understand how the systems of the world and your environment contribute to your life. I strongly believe in the ability we each have to better understand ourselves and heal with the support we need - I am here to guide you in that process.

I am aware of the cultural factors that impact how we move and navigate through the world, which is why I humbly seek to provide culturally competent services.

I think Leo McGarry says it best in an episode of The West Wing - A doctor passes by & the guy shouts up, "Hey you! Can you help me out?" The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole, & moves on. Then a priest comes along & the guy shouts up, "Father, I'm down in this hole; can you help me out?" The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole, & moves on. Then a friend walks by. "Hey, Joe, it's me. Can ya help me out?" The friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, "Are ya stupid? Now we're both down here." The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before & I know the way out."

Are you feeling unheard/misunderstood? Are you feeling overwhelmed/stressed? Are you tired of feeling anxious or depressed? Are you feeling stuck in your relationship?

Let’s figure this out together! This is the first and most important step in your journey, deciding to seek therapy. I believe in challenging my clients not to do what is easy or comfortable but to engage in the hard work that will truly make a difference in their lives.

I provide therapy with children who are overcoming trauma and managing bullies. I also help adults overcome depression, anxiety, and addiction.

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. Are you tired of feeling stressed, worried, moody or depressed? Maybe you are feeling stuck or frustrated in your current circumstances or having a hard time communicating with others in your life. Is your teen acting out or engaging in problematic behaviors? These obstacles can get in the way of enjoying life. Making the decision to enter therapy requires courage. We bring hope, a belief in your strengths, and confidence that you can create positive change in your life.

Life is unpredictable & can be challenging at times, but you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you are struggling to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, fear, or acceptance, these emotions can directly impact all areas of your life. Do you what to enhance your family, personal or professional relationships? Decrease stress, or guilt? Increase peace of mind, personal growth, & become your best self? We all go through tough times in our lives when we feel like something is too difficult to manage or feel like we'll never overcome what’s getting in the way of enjoying life. You're not alone & things can improve.

Therapy is a collaborative effort between myself and the individual. My goal is to use my training and expertise to assist individuals in increasing their ability to cope with life stressors and in achieving their goals. I believe wellness is about balance and maintaining nonjudgmental agreements with one’s self and in relation to others.

Are you feeling stuck in some way and want to reflect on what brought you here? I work well with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, stress, and grief and loss. During the therapy process, I assist clients in discovering their strengths, building support systems, and developing a healthy lifestyle to set the foundation for life success. My goal is to empower you with the tools and confidence to understand your past without judgment, take ownership of your present and steps toward your ideal future.

My ideal client is someone who wants something to change in their life and don't know how to make that change happen. They would be someone who is neuro-diverse (or thinks they might be), someone who wants to learn and understand themselves and humanity as a whole, better. My ideal clients wants to be seen and understood in return. My clients want peace and self love, as well as real-world skill building and emotional regulation skills practice. I also provide supervision hours to qualifying Associates.

Lets talk it out - or - you talk and I just listen - or - we can just sit quietly. The goal here: to make this a nonthreatening environment where you can mentally and verbally let loose and get to the root of your thoughts perceptions, and behaviors. I am a solution based therapist who only wants to help you uncover your true potential at having a meaningful and fulfilling life.

As a practitioner of Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT), I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, depression, and anxiety. I assist clients in a process of deep self-discovery using ETT, psychotherapy, and movement. ETT can help clients to heal more effectively from long-standing and painful patterns than traditional talk therapies alone. I treat a wide variety of conditions that prevent people from living an optimum life. My ideal client is committed to change, may have been in prior therapy that has not yet shifted fundamental maladaptive patterns, and open to new ways of thinking and feeling about themselves.

While many people come to me feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and defeated, seeking therapy for oneself is actually a sign of strength. It takes a lot to recognize a need for change and to take steps to follow through. In my practice I provide a comfortable, supportive atmosphere to explore alternative ways of living and coping with problems so that life can be more fulfilling and enjoyable. The opportunity to see individuals and families grow and feel better through the therapeutic process is the reason I love my work so much. In addition to providing therapy, I also conduct ADHD screenings and Bariatric surgery screenings.
