I am open to helping people who have experienced trauma in their lives that is affecting their current functioning and those that are experiencing anxiety and depression.

I love to work with people in relationships of all types, structures, and styles. Everyone feels stuck or unhappy in relationships sometimes. My goal is to help you get unstuck from unhelpful patterns in your life and your relationships. To do this, I can help you better understand yourself and your loved ones, increase empathy and connection, and support you in changing behaviors that are not working for you.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others around you? Do you feel unsure how to express your true self or live the life you want? As a Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity knowledgable therapist, I offer a supportive environment to address issues in life that may be holding you back. Sometimes it's our own beliefs about ourselves or our true potential that's our greatest barrier. Therapy can help uncover the barriers that are in the way and learn skills and techniques for how to work with yourself and collaborate with life so that you feel like you are living as opposed to just surviving.

Feeling confused or stagnant....overwhelmed or uncertain about your next steps? It can be challenging to navigate the chaos around us during difficult periods. As a licensed psychotherapist, change agent, and strategic life coach, my goal is to assist individuals in uncovering the underlying reasons behind their challenges. By gaining fresh perspectives and enhancing self-awareness, I help people find their own new insights and an enhanced understanding of themselves. Through a blend of empathy, understanding, and even a great deal of humor, I guide individuals to overcome the barriers to living their best life.

I believe being human is acknowledging that our lives often reflect a different reality than we envisioned for ourselves. This can be espeically true in the postpartum period. As a therapist for moms and couples, I can say I have lived this experience for myself. My transition to becoming a mom included birth trauma, a birth injury, and postpartum depression. If you have ever thought to yourself, "This is not what I expected.", "Why am I struggling so much?", or "I'm not good enough", you are in the right place! Me too, friend.

I have an extensive background in the field of Psychology and enjoy working with adults and elder adults. I enjoy utilizing a behavioral activation approach to address depression and anxiety. I have also been trained in utilizing different evidenced base type of approaches such as CBT, Solution-focused therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. As well I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor and certified Surf-trauma informed therapist. So why not give yourself the opportunity to renew yourself.

Hello, my name is Patricia Bevan, and I believe meeting each person where they are and incorporating treatment modalities best suited to that individual's needs and personality, including EMDR. I have extensive professional experience working with adults, children, and families. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds to help them discover their true selves and overcome the obstacles that may obscure their journey to happiness and self-fulfillment. I use evidence-based therapy techniques combined with warmth, compassion, and sometimes a bit of humor to help you meet your goals.

I have experience working in community-based and outpatient mental health settings. I have a passion for working with Transition Age Youth (TAY), adult, and senior populations who have been diagnosed with severe mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders. My specialty areas include mood disorders, anxiety, schizophrenia, crisis intervention, grief, substance use, coping skills, and relationship issues. My mission in life is to provide hope, build insight, and be there for those who feel alone, defeated, and powerless.

Are you feeling like life is getting a little heavy? Maybe you're dealing with overwhelming emotions, stress, anxiety or just feeling alone in it all. Challenges will inevitably arise throughout life. Some can be handled effectively on our own and some require additional support. That's where I come in! First of all, kudos to you for having the strength and courage to ask for help. I'd consider it a privilege to support you in whatever you're going through. For over ten years, I've devoted my life to listening to people share their fears and frustrations, while equipping them with the tools to live more fulfilling and joyful lives.

Do you feel like you are always worrying? Are you anxious all the time and unable to relax? Perhaps you feel the constant need for reassurance from others that you are going to be okay, or maybe you avoid going to certain places because they cause increased anxiety. Maybe you have tried therapy or breathing techniques before with no improvement. Regardless of what brought you here, you are ready to kick the extreme anxiety to the curb and stop spending your time worrying and overthinking.

One of my favorite quotes: "Sometimes you have to let go of the picture of what you thought life would be like and learn to find the joy in the story you are actually living" (Rachel Marie Martin). Welcome to insight, awareness & self discovery! I have worked in behavioral & medical health care for over 20 years, working in depth with mental health, substance use/abuse, end of life/hospice, those in crisis, the grieving, & the homeless.

I am particularly zealous about social injustice issues and working with the marginalized population. I am passionate about working with and helping people who are facing: depression, anxiety, traumatic events, racism, relationship conflicts, childhood problems, self-esteem issues, communication problems, and acculturation. I am concerned with the impact of anxiety and depression and improving intervention to support daily functioning and living with anxiety and depression for better emotional, physical, and relationship health.

Hello and Seja bem-vindo! I grew up in Brazil and moved to California to pursue my career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I truly believe that due to life challenges, stressful jobs, career and busy lifestyle, it's very easy to dismiss our inner voice. That is the voice that wants to be heard, tell us about our emotions and hurdles. Allowing your inner voice to be heard will empower you to embrace the beautiful journey of self discovery.

The transition to Motherhood looks different for everyone. We never know what our hard will look like. Sleep deprivation, fertility, body image, lack of support, birth trauma, fluctuating hormones, redefining worthiness & achievement, relationship issues being highlighted, new identity integration, loneliness in friendships, and more. No matter what is happening, I want you to know you're not alone. Establishing care with a Maternal Mental Health therapist before, during pregnancy, and in postpartum is a ripe time for personal development and looking after your mental health.

I believe everyone can benefit from a safe place to process the past and present and realize goals for the future. In my work people can expect me to provide a safe, open and engaged relationship to address life hopes and challenges. Meeting people where they're at is the most important starting point. Then together we help someone envision the future and realize their potential.

Are you ready to finally feel in control of your life? I know how hard it can be to take the first step in finding a therapist who is a good fit for you, but you deserve happiness! Anxiety and stress can get in the way of having a happy and fulfilling life. If you or your teen/young adult are struggling with thoughts, feelings, or relationships, we can work together to look at what has been bothering you and figure out how to make changes that can benefit all aspects of your life. Receiving nonjudgemental support and some new skills may be the answer! Special focus on Highly Sensitive People. Telehealth sessions only at this time.
