Therapists in Tustin, CA

Hello !!!. Are you looking for an amazing therapist? Feeling "stuck"? Are you ready for growth? Are you struggling with your relationships? Are addictions, alcohol/drug abuse, trauma, anger, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, or mood swings getting in the way of living your life to your full potential?

Hello, I am Dr. Nanci Carter and I am dedicated to working with adults and couples that want to make changes in their lives and improve their relationships. Depth work offers this help in a number of ways -- self-exploration and understanding, enriched relational skills, and space to grieve one's losses. Perhaps you wonder why you can't speak your truth. Maybe you experienced abuse or neglect as a child. Our ways of being with others, laid down in childhood, can be worked through, understood and reorganized within the psychotherapy relationship.

I will provide a safe environment for you to explore and understand yourself while helping you to create an insightful narrative for your life. Therapy can provide you a unique opportunity to explore your personal history in a new relationship, to see it in a new way, while you make connections between past and current conflicts and how they influence the way you relate to yourself and to others. Our work together can help you to resolve painful conflicts, enjoy relationships more fully and to experience life more deeply.

My job as a therapist is to provide you with a nurturing place where you can share your truth without fear of judgment. It is also my job to help you tap into your innate resiliency and strengths. I will encourage you, challenge you, and guide you as you rediscover your strength and begin to experience healing! Only when the soul is unmasked can the real work begin. I use a variety of techniques to meet therapeutic goals and tailor my approach to your specific needs.

Most people looking for a therapist do so because they are in some level of pain or distress. An effective therapy process provides the space for transforming such difficulties into the capacity for better coping, more satisfying relationships, and a stronger sense of self. I have dedicated years of training and experience to help with issues of individual suffering and relationship conflicts. I focus on a clear understanding of problems presented, and offer a process of resolution. I believe a supportive therapeutic process is most effective, and I provide an empathic connection.

I am here to help you change your life! I provide an empathetic, non-judgemental and caring therapeutic approach. My goal is to help you reduce symptoms and gain positive change. Are you feeling anxious, sad, lonely, and struggle with loss of motivation? Are you having boundary issues, relationship issues, work problems, gender identity, culture issues, and/or immigration struggles. I am passionate about working with my clients to meet their goals. Every case is unique and requires a special therapeutic approach. I tailor my approach to your specific needs.

Our greatest glory is not in falling but in rising every time we fall" (Oliver Goldsmith). I promote this philosophy in my therapy and treatment with clients. Supportive, introspective and proactive describe the work that I will do with you as we work together. Working to resolve conflicts, manage distressing symptoms and overcoming trauma is my goal.

Making the decision to come to therapy may very well be one of the bravest and most vulnerable choices you can make for yourself. As a licensed marriage and family therapist my goal is to help you discover your full potential and lead the life you imagined for yourself. Although it may seem easier, ignoring those painful or "off" pieces of yourself is likely impacting your life in ways you might not even be aware of. This is the first step in working towards living life cofidently and authentically.

Ready to thrive instead of just survive? Life is ever-changing, and sometimes we get bogged down by relationships or circumstances that leave us feeling hollow or worn out. I understand the yearning to have life feel open and easy despite feeling day-to-day like you're spinning your wheels in the same place. I can help. I provide a safe space to help you explore your life and relationships in a way that allows you to build insight and develop a better perspective of whatever life has thrown your way.

I have 15+ years experience in industrial psychology, community mental health, & medical social work and have served as an adjunct lecturer, admissions reviewer, psychiatric consultant, & as a director. I continue to be passionate about compliance practices to ensure great clinical outcomes, as these are two naturally interwoven processes in community and managed healthcare. I continue to gift back to our community as a Viet-CARE member. I provide career consultation, individual and group clinical supervision, and 1:1 coaching to enhance your leadership abilities. Goal is treating you from a whole person perspective.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Sometimes it helps to talk about life's struggles and pain with someone who listens and understands. Sometimes we have become distant from the people most important to us and need help repairing relationships. Sometimes the people we needed to care for us have hurt us and we need help healing. Sometimes we have done things we regret and need help moving forward. Everyone desires to be known and accepted, but sometimes things happen to cause us to withdraw and give up on connecting with others. I would like to help you find healing, hope, and connection in your life.

Are you struggling? Have you given up on your dreams? I offer a safe place where we bring compassionate attention to your challenges, and help you uncover a rich source of understanding to light your way forward. Together, we help you discover for yourself your own truths, so you may pick up the tools to aid you with your distress. Your path is unique to you alone. I walk alongside you, and guide within a supportive and empathic environment to help you broaden your way forward toward more satisfying relationships and a more full experience of life.

Are you in a relationship that is not satisfying your or your partner’s needs? Do mishaps in your relationship ruin your day? Do you feel you have problems with trust in your relationship? We all have obstacles to overcome with our partners. All of them, even the tough ones can be sorted through before they turn into a tidal wave of sorrow and pain. The turmoil you are experiencing can be fixed.

I am a licensed Christian Psychologist who has been helping people in therapy for over 25 years. I have seen how depression, anxiety, and difficulties in relationships are symptoms which arise out of injuries or losses in one's life. Healing occurs in the safety of a therapeutic relationship where one can work through these difficulties. My goal is to help my clients identify, understand and develop healthier relationships, which leads to a sense of well-being through an interactive process. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and I specialize in working with individuals, groups, and couples.

Online therapy is available to all of California without leaving your house! Don't miss out getting the help you need. We all want and need connection, but many of us struggle to find connection due to insecurities, negative experiences, anxiety, depression, and so on. Or maybe we've cut ourselves off from relationships altogether, vowing never to be hurt again. Unfortunately, even though we may feel safer, isolation often leaves us feeling terribly alone and dead inside. What can be done?

The wound feels as deep as the sea. At times it may feel like torment as you long for relief and comfort, or the resentment builds and consumes you. Other times you feel so alone and like it's all your fault. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy might be, taking the first steps can be difficult and uncertain. I am dedicated in making your first steps as comfortable as possible. Give me a call for a FREE 15 Minute phone consultation, or visit my website at www.dustinshultzmft.com, and begin the process toward wholeness.

It takes tremendous courage to see a therapist. A safe environment and a trustful relationship are the first things I provide. People are complex; your ethnicity, sexuality, personality, values, and unique background will be appreciated here. I will listen to you carefully and understand you deeply. Together we will find the best way to identify and meet your needs. We will empower you from what is painful in your experience, so that you will feel more alive, have more compassion toward yourself, and create new meaning in your life. If you are a parent, I also help children with anxiety, depression, and socio-emotional development.

Now accepting clients! If we do not author a love story with ourselves, we may never know the wounds of our own soul. In the safety net of therapy we can show up for ourselves, discover our inner world, learn why we do what we do. In the comfort of knowing ourselves, we find our true belonging. In this eventuality, in the fullness of time, we can belong in this world and show up for others without betraying ourselves. There is a wealth of love and freedom in this way of being. The process of therapy can navigate you towards your most cherished home, yourself. Our relational stories bloom from this place of abundance only.
