Preteen Therapists in 95008

Feeling lost and unsure about how to handle things in your life? We all feel like this at one time or another in our lives and it is helpful to have someone support you while trying to figure things out. I would be honored to assist you in this process. As a therapist, I will work collaboratively with you to help you move towards your life goals and a deeper understanding of self.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

As a caring and compassionate psychotherapist & counselor , I am trained to understand and guide your spiritual journey through healing, as well as tending to your emotional and psychological needs. I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology, am a licensed California Marriage & Family Therapist,a Certified Process Therapist, and EAGALA practioner. I have spent countless hours working with children, some as young as 2, and their families, as well as serving as a counselor in the Cupertino Union School District for three years. Give me a call, and we can talk about what you may need to successfully begin to heal.

We often don't talk about the impact of childhood trauma on ourselves and our families, which then deepens the challenges and struggles we experience in our daily lives. My passion lies in helping you understand the impact of trauma on your life and dissecting the patterns that have developed from it. Change is hard and it feels uncomfortable. That is where I come in to walk along your healing journey to help you address the source of the issue to build insights. Together, I can empower you to create the change you want to see in your life.

Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. Please call or email me for adults, adolescents or children therapy consultation today. Licensed Clinical Social Worker # 71190

Are you or your teen looking for help managing moods and stress, working through relationship conflict or developing self-esteem and confidence? I provide adolescent and family therapy, as well as parent consultations, addressing a variety of concerns including: anxiety, depression, academic stress, divorce/co-parenting issues, and parent-child conflict. I have experience working with adolescents in school and clinical settings. I have also counseled adults who are struggling with family communication issues, stress and mental health issues. I've worked with parents who are working to support their children through substance abuse or divorce.

I feel that I "see" people who often feel "unseen." I help people who are exhausted, depressed and anxious from masking. Masking is attempting to reduce or hide needs and symptoms to blend in with others, usually to avoid being treated differently.

Are you uncertain about making the right choices for your child? Maybe you’ve been wondering what their future will look like if they’re constantly struggling now. Most parents feel as though they have a lack of information and understanding of why their child struggles and how to make it better. Watching your child suffer and feeling hopeless to know how to help is heartbreaking. A part of you knows that things should be better, but you’re seeing little progress and may even be dissatisfied with the current services your child has been offered.

Are you ready to make positive and lasting changes? You are definitely more than just your problems, but sometimes our problems get so big they are all we can see. When you are in my office you are seen and treated as a whole person with both strengths and struggles. I believe that therapy works best when it happens in the safety of a trusting, supportive, and collaborative relationship. My style can be best described as flexible as my interventions are based on the unique needs of my clients.

I am a Marriage & Family Therapist who uses a strength-based approach rooted in authenticity, compassion, and understanding. My approach is informed by Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. These theories guide me to help clients get unstuck from problematic relational patterns, nurture secure attachment bonds, develop more satisfying relationships, and work through challenges such as trauma, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy working with a variety of concerns including relational distress in families & couples, emotional & behavioral issues in children & adolescents & healing from past trauma.

I am passionate and honored to support and treat diverse populations of all ages who experience mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, stress, adjustment to life changes, and healing from trauma. I work with couples, parents and families to improve relationship, communication, parenting skills, and healthy relationship dynamics. I am bilingual and speak Farsi.

Are you are tired of struggling each day, feeling down or worried all the time, or feel you couldn't stand another argument? When you want tools and genuine support to improve yourself, your relationships, or to improve the interactions with your children and family, I can help. In our sessions we will work together, interactively, to identify and alter the thoughts, behaviors, and interpersonal styles that are interfering with your happiness. As a husband and a parent who has prior experience in the high tech industry, I understand how stressful life can be, and I have practical solutions that work.

Life is constantly presenting us with change. Just when we might feel like we know what the day will bring, there might be something around the corner that takes us by surprise; maybe even something that has been there that we didn't even notice before! With change, comes thoughts and feelings we might not be ready to have, such anxiety, sadness, and fear. Coping with these changes can be difficult at times and we might need a little support. One of these unexpected events might be the diagnosis of a developmental delay, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder.

If you're reading this page right now, something isn't working in your life. You may be stuck in a harmful pattern, carrying an emotional burden you've held too long, or in a relationship that is causing you more pain than happiness; perhaps you're worried about your teen, and looking for someone to help. The good news is that problems can be solved and patterns can be changed. I can help. I provide a healing environment in which individual adults and couples discover the inner strength and resources they already have.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with youth and adults. I am passionate about working with people, and helping them overcome and work through challenges such as adjustment issues, behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family conflict, life transitions, post-traumatic stress, substance use and more. I also offer parent coaching sessions to help parents find the best ways to support their children and strengthen communication.

I support clients who struggle with chronic depression, anxiety and relational issues by inviting them to look inwardly and incorporate their growing insight into daily life’s challenges. I believe the process of self-discovery is the realest gift of life, the path leading to our internal peace and freedom.

Are you going through internal struggle due to trauma? Do you feel anxious and depressed about the future? Do you struggle with family issues and relationship issues? I’m willing to meet you where you are, help you process unwanted thoughts and emotions, and help develop an action plan to effectively cultivate your healing and growth.

Thus, you can feel relieved and fulfilled in your relationship with yourself and others.

I work primarily with adults who are wanting to manage symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I approach therapy with a client-centered approach in order to create a safe, comfortable space for you to share and express yourself, and your vulnerabilities. We will explore healthy ways to process your trauma, regulate difficult emotions, and restore broken relationships. I believe the trust built between Client and Therapist is powerful, and necessary in order to help you through your healing journey.
