Teletherapy for California

Have you been struggling with an alcohol or substance use disorder? Are you looking for someone who understands the struggles you are facing based on personal experience? My doctoral dissertation on substance abuse has provided me with broad knowledge of evidenced based strategies used to treat addiction. I have experience supporting my clients that seek help in the following areas, relationships, spirituality, stress, depression, and anxiety. The use of inspiration and humor are common in session. Please contact me to schedule a free consultation. I'm looking forward to hearing about how I may be of assistance to you.

I am a Trans-personal Psychologist, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, and a life Coach. My approach to healing is very eclectic. In a nutshell, if necessary, I combine all my skills to help my clients move forward with their lives. The basic need of all individual is to feel well, to love and be loved, to succeed and be fulfilled in life. I have a variety of skills to fill up these needs.

I get it - you are busy, tired and overwhelmed. Therapy may seem like just more on your To Do list. Sustainable change does require effort and time - I will not waste either of these precious resources of yours! Together, we will find a reasonable and compassionate way forward. Together, we determine the goals you want to work towards and develop an action-oriented plan to get there. Together, we compassionately identify barriers to progress as they occur and creative, realistic ways to move beyond.

I am a plant-based psychotherapist highlighting the importance of nutrition, movement, spirituality and environmentalism in connecting the mind, body and soul. I am also a practicing yogi, nature lover and avid self-healer. I am tender, integrative, grounded and nurturing. I center my work around connecting the mind, body and soul to find peace and energetic balance with various holistic and somatic practices. In using these approaches, clients learn their abilities to address any anxiety, depression, traumas, loss of self, difficult relationships and other maladaptive behaviors to become their most desired and divine selves.

Are you feeling burnt out? overwhelmed? Stressed? Have you lost your sense of purpose? Are you ready to change the direction of your life but don't know where to start? Have you been called sensitive or empathetic? Showing up in the world, knowing yourself, and using your strengths IS your calling. I have been there and know what it's like to feel like you don't belong, I cannot wait to support you in finding and fulfilling your purpose. It is time to thrive. Life is too short to live without living your purpose and feeling true happiness.

If you are an individual or couple facing challenges with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, panic, burnout, communication difficulties, mood regulation, men's issues, parenting, life transitions/crisis, psychedelic integration, spirituality practices, or physical health, I can guide you on a path to feeling more balance and clarity in your everyday experiences. I offer both short-term and long-term support and our sessions will be tailored to your unique goals and timelines. You will receive gender, sexuality, and identity affirming care.

Welcome, are you wanting to feel more connected to yourself? Do you feel stuck in repetitive habits knowing you're capable of more? You've come to the right place. I offer therapy from a holistic lens which explores how our mind, body, and spirit are interconnected. I focus with those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life purpose, transitions, grief, spirituality, disconnection from self, multicultural experiences, career exploration, and relationships.

Many of my clients are those who tend to give too much, disconnect from their own needs and desires, feel depressed and anxious, and/or experience chronic pain. They are often highly sensitive and imaginative, helpers and healers, with literary, artistic, or philosophical leanings. They are all seeking to heal inner conflicts and relationship problems rooted in early attachment wounds or traumatic experiences. Most importantly, my clients have come to recognize it's time to do their inner work in order to create the outer life they want, and they continue to grow and deepen into their innate wisdom long after therapy has ended.

I love to work with individuals who are driven by an innate need to self-actualize, and who are motivated to find meaning and happiness in life. Folks who have been through a lot, and therefore look at the world from a spiritual lens. Individuals who are interested in exploring relationships, career, spirituality, the purpose of life, and want to cultivate a practice (like meditation). They might be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or personality related concerns in some or most of these aspects, and are hoping to receive clarity, care, and understanding in a safe therapeutic space.

I am not a typical therapist. I see myself as a co-author, witness, helpful ally, teammate, collaborator and useful resource. Rather than taking a role as an “expert” by making assumptions or interpretations about your life, I love to use skillful conversation and artful question-asking to help you get past obstacles and problems. You are here on this page because you have strength in you, you have desire in you and you have healing in you. You are the main character in your own life. Therapy can either help or hinder the development of this character as someone powerful, capable and whole.

WELCOME BEAUTIFUL! If you haven't already, please take this present moment to tune in to your innate wisdom, to see if I might be the inner-guide you've been looking for. As a modern-day healer and spiritual guide, I compassionately and mindfully guide you to feel, experience, hear, trust and embody your wisest inner guidance, around some of the most important decisions and relationships in you life. Together, we will welcome very part of your light and dark, the spoken and unspoken, the named and unnamed, the tamed and untamed--and discover pathways to connect with the intelligence, wisdom & medicine, they all have to offer.

No matter how challenging life may be, I believe it is possible to move forward, to heal from a painful past, to navigate transitions, and to find healing and healthy relationships. I am here to support you in this process in a warm, empathic and collaborative way. I draw on my background in counseling psychology, meditation and somatics as I work with clients from all walks of life.

We all have the innate capacity for healing. We tend towards growth. But sometimes, internal and/or external barriers get in our way. The purpose of my practice is to help you tap into your inner wisdom to achieve a greater sense of fulfillment, connection, and liberation. I do so by creating a safe space for self-inquiry, providing firm guidance and alternative perspectives, and supporting you to find tangible ways inward and forward. I work with a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework. I also provide remote and in-person Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for individuals and couples.

I believe we could all use compassionate, focused empathy, supportive insight, and unconditional acceptance. Whatever your background, occupation, culture, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, relationships, worldview, politics. I am uniquely equipped to help you find and express your best self and create solutions. I offer the first session free, and I provide telehealth throughout California.

I thoroughly enjoy supporting teens, parents, individuals and couples reach their full sense of being at ease in themselves. I believe in neurodiversity; that each individual is "wired" in their own particular and unique way, and that therapy supports making the best of one's neurology. I assist clients discover their inner wisdom, and engage in exploration of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that impede, and augment, the creations of harmonious relationships, and full potential. I offer a warm and caring presence, and yet engage dynamically, and authentically.

I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to seek out a therapist. As social beings, we all need support and at certain times we need it more than ever. Speaking to someone you can open up to and trust, knowing you will not be judged, can really make a difference in navigating emotional turmoil, relationships, stress, anxiety, processing trauma, and making our way through major life transitions. At times we may struggle with larger life questions such as, "Who am I?" and "What is my purpose in life?" I am here to help.

As a sensitive and deeply feeling person, you struggle to navigate big feelings, sensory stimulation, and a strong emotional response to the state of the world today. You are impacted by the world around you, and are privy to the pain of others who suffer. The weight of a hurting world lives inside you, along with all that you sometimes struggle to feel. You are sensitive, spiritually inclined, and committed to personal and collective transformation. You are seeking a space of support and accountability, where you can develop the capacity and mindset to grow, expand, and open, through those times when things feel “too much.”

I have 40 years of teaching and clinical experience and have treated a variety of issues, but specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship, and sexual issues. I also have extensive experience in substance abuse treatment and behavioral addictions such as obsessive spending and porn addiction. In addition, I also treat religious guilt and help others deal with issues related to spirituality and grief. I tailor the treatment to each person for the greatest personal effectiveness. I do so with many years of clinical experience and a professional and compassionate approach. I am licensed in both CA and MI.

¡Hola! I'm Denisse and reconnecting to my Latinx culture, ancestors, roots, and motherland in this last year has been an core part of my development as a psychotherapist and the inspiration in creating Ancestral Therapy, a relational, non-pathologizing, liberation centered, and culturally affirming therapeutic lens for first gen, children of immigrants, bicultural identifying folk, and black or brown bodies who need more than just talk therapy but want to reclaim their power, break cycles of generational trauma, access the innate wisdom of their body, and process the impact of colonization and systemic oppression onto their people.
