Portuguese Therapists in Kern County, CA

Dar o primeiro passo para começar a fazer terapia já é desafiador… Agora imagine ter que falar em inglês enquanto sua mente pensa em português? Como traduzir coisas que só quem é brasileiro entende? Saudades, afeto, angústia… Viver em outro país traz muitos desafios. Aprendemos a nos reinventar, adaptar à outra cultura, e lidar com a saudade e às muitas transições. Tudo isso pode ser frustrante, muitas vezes causando ansiedade, isolamento, sensação de não pertencimento, e depressão. Estou aqui para apoiá-lo enquanto criamos um espaço seguro para você explorar sua jornada e seus objetivos.

Me especializo em trabalhar com adultos que desejam processar, reavaliar e resolver mudanças emocionais, relacionais ou qualquer mudança em sua vidas. O modo como faço isso é compartilhar práticas terapêuticas que servem para superar o sofrimento emocional que, por sua vez, leva a comportamentos prejudiciais que interferem nos objetivos atuais da vida. À medida que trabalhamos juntos em um relacionamento terapêutico seguro e sem julgamento, os pensamentos e ações negativas podem ser alterados e substituídos por ações mais gratificantes, permitindo que os clientes se libertem do desânimo, de pensamentos temerosos ou da ansiedade.

Minha experiencia tem sido trabalhar com pessoas sofrendo de enfermidades mentais e uso/abuso de drogas e bebidas alcolicas. Meu treinamento como psicologa inclui varias diferentes modalities terapeuticas dependendo do diagnostico do cliente. Tambem trabalho com trauma de infancia usando o metodo de desensibilizacao e reprocessamento do movimento ocular (EMDR).

Eu acredito que pais são muito importantes e que educam seus filhos da melhor maneira possível dentro do grau de habilidade que eles têm. Algumas vezes existe uma disparidade entre o que os pais podem oferecer e as necessidades emocionais da criança. Meu foco principal no trabalho terapêutico com meus clientes é desenvolver um entendimento intuitivo dos talentos primários e também das áreas que não foram desenvolvidas por culpa das limitações no estilo pessoal dos pais. Nosso trabalho juntos poderá aumentar o entendimento geral do seu perfil psicológico e também facilitar a manifestação das suas potencialidades.

Você tem tido dificuldade com alguma situação e sofre com isso? Já tentou “tudo”, mas continua se sentindo sem saída e imerso em sofrimento psíquico, o qual pode se manifestar como isolamento, auto-crítica, desesperança, preocupação, medo, insatisfação, conflitos interpessoais, mudanças de humor, dissociação da realidade, sensação de perseguição, etc? Você tem se perguntado se algumas das dificuldades que você tem enfrentado - como, ser incapaz de agir ou repetidamente fazer escolhas erradas - podem dizer algo sobre seus dilemas subjetivos? Essa é a hora de fazer análise.

I believe that healing is a process of letting go of what is not us - our learned ways of coping with life - so that our essence may express itself in the world more freely. Through following the wisdom of the body and spirit, a safe therapy relationship supports the organic movement towards wholeness that is waiting to unfold. I work with adults and children to help increase their felt sense of safety in their bodies and to support mental and emotional well-being. Together we can understand how early experiences create templates for relationship, and learn to shift and transform what no longer serves you.

I believe that psychotherapy can be a tool to help someone to increase their self-awareness and promote healing and reparation to the life's pain and struggles. If you would like someone on your side to the new journey of rediscovering who you are and who you want to be, that is my goal. To provide support through this new path with the objective that life will unfold with more joy and happiness.

Thank you for visiting my page. I work with individuals, couples and groups. I use a psychodynamic frame, however, I will meet the client with the therapeutic tool most needed. My goal is to provide a supportive and safe space which enables a transformational and healing experience that promotes self-understanding, self-compassion, differentiation, individuation and congruency. I work with clients who present with trauma, depression, anxiety, relational issues, anger issues, existential issues and I specialize in clients who have eating disorders/disordered eating. I conduct therapy in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

My passion is in body psychotherapy. Clients enjoy our work connecting their body/inner strengths and their mind/rational strengths to achieve growth. My clients value the kindness, compassion, and safety I create, so they feel comfortable and heard. I have success working with clients that experience cancer, adoption, grief, stress, excessive worry, depression, conflict with others, life transitions, and parenting issues. Caregivers and family members of cancer patients find working with me helpful, healing, and nurturing. Clients that are not comfortable just talking really appreciate the tools I give them.

Do you wake up in the morning feeling empty, tired, and unmotivated? Are you struggling with issues related to your past, uncontrollable thoughts, anger, grief, communication, anxiety, or major life changes? Are you seeking a more loving, meaningful, and harmonious relationship with your partner and your loved ones but don't know how or what to do to improve it? There comes a time when help is needed from a licensed professional.

I am currently seeing clients in New York, California and Florida State. I believe Psychotherapy is a collaborative venture that can help people lead a fulfilling life and maintain healthy relationships. In our work together my intention is to create a judgement-free space where I can understand your personal experience and nurture and support you in your journey towards authenticity and change. If you suffer with states of depression, anxiety, or loneliness, or you feel generally dissatisfied with aspects of your life, through our work together we can explore skills and tools that move you toward growth.

Hi, thank you for visiting. After 20 years as a therapist, I have found that people need a combination of support, insight, and challenging interactions to help them move past obstacles they are facing. I work with individuals on the most intimate aspects of their lives, including their sexuality, relationships, and life and death issues. My style is interactive and relational, and employs uncovering family of origin dynamics, but also more practical, EMDR and Brainspotting methods to help make changes more quickly. My specialty is in all aspects of loss and grief, addictions, eating disorders, relationships, trauma and cancer.

I find it a privilege to be a part of people's lives and assist them with their difficulties, and truly enjoy the relational aspect of therapy. My 20 years as a therapist have allowed me to develop expertise in working with a wide range of people, cultures and clinical issues. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and OCD, women's issues (such as postpartum depression or OCD, pregnancy loss and relationship difficulties), and in working with multicultural individuals and couples. I was a psychologist at UCLA Counseling and Psychological Services for 8 years and also specialize in working with students and their families.

Parenting is hard, not because you’re doing it wrong… but because it is! Because Manatee’s focus is strengthening the entire family, we also have a team of parent coaches, to help you become the parent you’re destined to be.

My trauma treatment sessions are designed for those seeking focused, short-term therapy with a goal to address specific traumatic experiences within a 3-month period. If you're are looking to dedicate more time to their healing journey, I offer Intensive Trauma Therapy. This entails several hours of therapy per day, across multiple days each week, allowing for a concentrated approach to treatment. For those who live out of CA, I offer trauma coaching sessions . In these sessions, you will discover coping strategies and resilience-building skills, . The main goal in trauma coaching is to help you reconnect with yourself.

You wake up and already know it’s going to be a bad day. Last night you fell asleep with a knot in your stomach and a lump in your throat. Things haven’t been okay for a long time, but now all the words left unsaid are taking a toll on your body. You wish you could share what you feel and need without it causing a fight with your partner. Every little thing has become a point of tension and a reason to fight. After the arguments, the silence is loud and you feel vulnerable, unsure, and scared. Anxiety and insecurities creep in and you question whether this relationship is the right choice.

Perhaps you're down, anxious, struggling with triggers from traumatic memories, unsure about the future of a relationship, trying to adjust to a new chapter of your life, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to live. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer the support you need in a safe and non-judgmental manner. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging the adoption of new perspectives and reactions.
