Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Kerman, CA

Most people experience times or situations in their life in which professional support is needed. I believe I offer comfort and support in a nurturing way of meeting you right where you are, without judgment, being open, and creating a trusting environment to facilitate the desired growth and change within the individual and/or the family. I have worked with multiple populations; teens, adult individuals, couples, and families and have experienced the journey with people who make positive life changes and the joy of watching the changes as the client decides to take the time to learn better to do better with a new skill set.

Some problems can seem larger than they are. We need to get above them and see them from another perspective. That’s difficult to do because when we think about them, we always see it the same way. We may avoid thinking about it because that just makes us feel worse. Some say, why talk about it, that doesn’t help. However, you have not talked but thought about it. If you talk to someone who can see it from a different perspective, that helps shift thoughts in another more insightful direction and that’s the road to real change.
