Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Kings Beach, CA

Feeling overwhelmed? Are you exhausted but unable to sleep? Is anxiety or depression impeding on your work or personal life? Take a step towards change because healing is possible. I work with First Responders and their spouses who are struggling with PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, work stress and critical incidents, relationship issues, and grief and loss. I use evidence based therapies known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. I am also trained in Brainspotting.

Welcome to my practice. Do you feel overwhelmed by feelings of worry, anxiety, sadness or hopelessness? Have you or your child experienced a trauma that continues affecting your mood, relationships and daily functioning? Are you struggling with recent change or parenting concerns? I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience helping clients heal, gain new perspective and transform their lives by reaching their mental health goals. I serve individual adults and kids 10 years and older.

The challenge is walking up in the morning and making sense of our lives in order to get going. The times that we live in are becoming increasingly more difficult. It is easy to feel alone, lost, stuck, and without a compass to find our path. The way to turn things around in our lives starts here and now. You have come to a safe place where you can be vulnerable, heard, and seen through and through.

If you find yourself struggling with life circumstances, shifts in your mood, or re-living past trauma experiences, I would be honored to walk along side you during your healing journey. I am passionate about building relationships founded on trust, compassion, respect, and unconditional positive regard. I have a heart for helping people heal from all kinds of struggles using holistic tools including mind, body, and spirit practices.

My name is Karmelle Ramillano and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California and working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in mood, anxiety, and trauma disorders. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients care for their mental well-being and achieve their mental health goals. I typically work with adults from as young as 18 years old to adults in their 60s who are hoping to process trauma. Other conditions I most often treat include depression, anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem, and stress.

My ideal clients are women, 18 and older, who tend to appear to others to “have it all together”. They can carry many responsibilities and can achieve a lot, sometimes making it seem easy on the outside. Internally, these women may feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or exhausted. Sometimes they may struggle in their relationship with their own emotions, with their relationship with food or their bodies, or with alcohol. If you may be one of these women, my goal is to provide you with support, to help you be kinder to yourself, and to help you slow down to enjoy the life that you have created.

I have been helping people heal, learn, and grow for more than 20 years. I am a psychotherapist, coach, teacher, and author of the best-selling book, Scared Selfless, which explores the aftereffects of child abuse and how to heal from it. My greatest gift as a therapist is my well-founded optimism. I know that no matter how bad things may currently seem, my clients can overcome obstacles, process pain, and move on to happier, healthier, more purposeful lives. I believe that all people have an innate capacity to grow into their authentic selves; they simply need the right conditions.

My training would be defined as "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" but I engage in general therapy. This means that I will work with my clients to meet them where they are and use tools, interventions and approaches that respect their person and strives to align with who they are. I am here for the client and make it a point to engage on a humanistic level. I am not a therapist who sits in a chair and asks "how does that make you feel?" I am a therapist who wants to actively help you identify your goal(s) and come up with a plan for you to reach them. I will not waste your time and I am invested as much as you are.

I provide couples in-person/virtual therapy throughout California. Interactions with a loved one can bring out the very best and worst in us. If the dynamic with your spouse or partner is a repeated source of pain, I am here to help. Instead of trying to understand each other, most partners make accusations & get defensive. l help couples to uncover feelings driving their interactions and reactions and then teach communication skills to help them transform the way they relate and connect. I truly believe that a loving and supportive relationship/family is one the most amazing gifts we can give to ourselves, children, and loved ones.

In therapy, you can learn coping skills to manage your emotions, gain focus, and increase motivation. Reach out if you are seeking support for yourself, your family, or your relationship. Build communication, build intimacy, and enhance meaning in your life. Your past does not have to control your future. I look forward to hearing your story!

I have extensive experience working with OCD and anxiety disorders. I also deliver therapy to many clients from the LGBTQ+ population and enjoy providing quality care to diverse communities. My foundation is in cognitive behavioral therapy, meaning that I believe the way we think about ourselves, and the world has a significant impact on our lives.

This is my offering for you. The conversations that happen in this space and time together is your offering to yourself.

Hello. My name is Teresa Moreno. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have experience working with diverse populations and situations. I believe Recovery is possible. Life can become stressful and challenging as we navigate changes in our lives- whether it is divorce, a breakup, trauma, loss, parenting, relocating, unfulfilled careers, conflict in family or relationships, and so forth. Our bodies can respond to changes and or stress in different ways- depression, anxiety, anger, loss of sleep, overthinking, loss of pleasure or hope, diet changes, loss of concentration or loss of motivation, etc.

I’m Dr. Kate Bautch (she/they), a licensed clinical psychologist and trail guide for people whose identities and experiences fall outside of the status quo (queer, neurodiverse, chronically ill/disabled and their families, ethically non-monogamous) and who need support navigating a path that is not the well-traveled trail of societal norms. Here you do not have to worry about educating someone on your experience, and the focus can be entirely on you and the support you need.

I specialize in the treatment of all anxiety-related disorders, including OCD, Social Anxiety, and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake. After developing a treatment protocol at the Intensive Program level that was the first in the nation to integrate mindfulness-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ("ACT") with Exposure Therapy in the treatment of OCD, I am continuing that work in private practice. My focus is on helping people respond differently to the physical sensations of anxiety, get some space from "sticky" thoughts, and to return to the present moment.

My goal is to guide my clients to be their genuine selves, to feeling whole and complete. Helping my clients reach their fullest potential is the most rewarding feeling. The journey to being who we are rather than who others would like us to be, behaving in a manner that exemplifies self-love, self-worth, and confidence is a daily task that requires re-committing each day. The wounds of yesterday must be healed in order to move forward. I believe the client determines the direction and pace to which we accomplish this knowing all the while, self-discovery and actualization is never ending.

I don't have a specific client that is "ideal" as every client has their own unique history and backstory. I definitely look forward to meeting with people who are interested in self-growth but I also enjoy helping people get to the point to where the may be ready to work on their self-growth. If you are reading this, you would probably be the ideal client since you have taken the first step in just having that thought in your head about maybe it is time to give yourself the love you give to others and focusing on yourself.

I have worked with a variety of clients within different ages and stages of their life. I believe that the therapeutic process should be individually curtailed to each specific client. Every client processes information and sees the world differently. These are the factors at the forefront of my mind when I am considering interventions for clients. I enjoy standing beside my clients on their journey while helping, supporting, and encouraging them to reach their therapeutic goals.
