Therapists in Brentwood, CA

Hi! I'm Alexandria Steely, LCSW and I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults find themselves, grow, and be the most confident version they can be. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions. I work alongside my clients, co-piloting as we look to understand and break down emotions and feelings. Over the past couple of years, I have typically been working with children, teens, and young adults with low self-confidence, negative self-image, anxiety, and overall general mental health concerns.

Are you feeling stuck? Or worried about your child, family or self? Perhaps you're feeling unhappy or self-critical and struggling to identify what is happening in your life. Is anxiety causing difficulty in functioning at home, school/work, and relationships? Seeking professional help can reduce these symptoms. I provide therapy services that are person-centered meaning I meet clients where they are and empower them to change or improve behavior. Through my authentic, positive energy and interactive approach to therapy, I provide clients the tools to help them live their best lives and build overall self-esteem and confidence.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and struggling to manage emotions? Have you or your family members experienced a traumatic event or stressful transition? Is your child experiencing difficulties at school; challenging behaviors? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, I may be able to help. I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults. My clinical orientation includes client centered, strength-based and integrative modalities.

My passion is to work with individuals to transform life’s difficulties into opportunities of personal growth and insight. My approach is collaborative in nature while providing a safe space to foster good therapeutic work. My scope of expertise are issues pertaining to trauma, depression, anxiety and substance use disorders. I am a trained EMDR therapist and apply psychotherapy approaches complementary to individual clients and their needs. These approaches include EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Solution Focussed Therapy.

Are you struggling with anxiety and depression? Are you struggling with relationship concerns? Are you a parent struggling with your teenage child? Psychotherapy gives us the opportunity to better understand our problems and allows us to make the important changes we want. Psychotherapy can be useful for people with a variety of psychological disorders, ranging from stress to phobias, and relational issues.

I will help you learn to appreciate your emotional identity through managing moods, thoughts, impulsiveness, reactivity, and harmful behaviors. I will help you strengthen or repair your relationships and build new ones. I'll help you cultivate confidence to ask for what you want, set boundaries with others, and navigate family issues. I can also teach you social skills if you feel out of place at work or school.

Current openings for new clients! Are you experiencing distressing thoughts that scare you? Do you feel compelled to complete certain tasks (even mentally) due to your thoughts? Do others often comment that you are anxious or always on edge? Or perhaps you're struggling with peer or family relationships, major life changes and use unhealthy means of coping with stress? If you or your teen have answered yes to any of these questions, I may be able to help. As a client-centered therapist, I believe that healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship; one that is genuine and compassionate.

I am committed to creating a space free of judgment, is culturally aware, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and safe for everyone. My approach is warm and curious, and I have a direct and interactive style. I draw from a range of evidence-based therapeutic models and interventions, ensuring support is tailored to the individuality of the client.

Our thoughts, emotions and actions are all connected. During periods of high stress, negative thoughts and overwhelming emotion can cause dysfunction in our daily lives. Therapy can support you in reframing negative thoughts, so you can better manage your emotional experience and thus, change harmful actions toward yourself and others. My experience includes working with adolescents, teens, families and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, eating disorders, opposition, relationship and behavioral problems. I believe that therapy is a collaborative partnership between the client and therapist.

Currently accepting new clients! I use an integrative approach of CBT, DBT, Life Skills and reality testing. Each patient is very individualistic in the approach. Customizing a treatment plan that is inclusive of the patient's goals and needs help to make the patient feel they are included in their process. I love to problem solve and help patient's create the awareness to build up to finding solutions from their problem saturated stories. I meet the patient where they are at and also implement challenges that will produce a level of accountability, free of judgement.

I believe therapy works best when it is a partnership between the therapist and client. I would love to partner with you to support the change or increased happiness you might be seeking. You do not have to struggle alone, I am happy to work with individuals, including adults and teens. During our work together, I hope to provide you with a safe, comfortable space to work towards your goals. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and warm.

I am Chloe Lucas, LMFT. I've been a therapist for just under 10 years now. My personality has been described as direct, curious, and grounding. My practice focuses on trauma work, teens, adult individuals, and parenting. My training is rooted in spirituality as an important part of the whole self. I see therapy as an important tool for existential growth. Our culture doesn't make enough space for emotional expression and introspection. Therapy is a unique relationship that allows for the practice of emotional intimacy such that we may become more attune and connected to ourselves and others.

You'll find that I'm not your typical patches-on-the-sleeves, "tell me about your mother" style therapist. After a career as a first responder, I have come in contact with a great many mental health challenges. My clients will find I am very empathetic while at the same time no-nonsense and to the point. Together, we'll explore what your challenges have been historically and find new ways to approach the life (and ultimately, happiness) for which you're looking.
