Teletherapy for California

My name is Arnold Acquah, MSW, LCSW. My goals as a therapist are to help my clients recognize their capacity for self-sufficiency and self-advocacy, ultimately helping them recognize the power that they wield. My areas of focus include working with adults struggling with ADHD, depression, and anxiety. My job is to help you navigate through the complexities of life so that we can understand the underlying factors that contribute to your current struggles. This understanding may pave the way for us to work towards decreasing the distress you may be experiencing.

Hi! My name is Michele Dorn, and I am a Marriage Family Therapist in Orange County, California. I see clients throughout the state via telehealth services. I work with children adolescents and adults. I specialize in executive dysfunction, anxiety, depression, and related disorders impeding academic, social, emotional and/or behavioral issues. My main drive is to assist you on your journey to improve your life. My approach to therapy is predominantly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy although I use different modalities as my client's needs arise.

Life is full of ups, downs, twists and turns that are often unexpected, confusing, challenging, wonderful and even painful. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional and have been practicing for over 6 years. I have a passion for working with teens, children, young adults and families. I spent the first 4 years of my career working in Residential Treatment supporting children and teens that have complex trauma and a variety of mental health concerns including: PTSD, attachment challenges, grief and loss, panic disorder, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and ADHD.

If you have past trauma then you likely also experience anxiety. I specialize in clients with anxiety due to trauma, ADHD, or OCD. I work with individuals and with couples. Relationships can be confusing and painful for those who have had past trauma, ADHD or OCD. However, there are ways to heal through your past and experience a healthy relationship.

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth. I specialize in trauma therapy along with treating personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.
