Psychodynamic Therapists in 95112

I love working with clients who are curious about what more there is to experience in this life, who are ready to do the work of diving within in order to heal past wounds and create a life that they truly love. Sometimes trauma, relationship problems, work, or other life circumstances can result in our lives shrinking. We can become fearful or lose touch with what it is that we love, prioritizing other things. I'm committed to walking with you while you get back to yourself by processing all that you've been through.

Welcome! I'm Kelly, a certified professional life coach with a gentle, strengths-based approach. I help women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community break cycles of dysfunction and self-sacrifice to finally claim the lives they need. My coaching philosophy is grounded in psychodynamic theory and incorporates concepts borrowed from Internal Family Systems, Co-Active Coaching, and somatic work. While the work we do together is not psychotherapy (my role is not to diagnose or treat mental illness), the pace and rhythm of my coaching sessions are very similar to what you would experience in a therapist’s office.

Hi there, I'm Margaret Effinger, LCSW 113220. My approach to therapy is warm, calm and compassionate. My focus areas of focus are anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and trauma. I typically work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, and trauma.

As a therapist with over 15 years of experience, I enjoy working with children, families, adolescents, and the elderly. I enjoy providing support, understanding, and giving positive feedback to my clients. My goal is to support clients explore and understand their issues, build on their strengths, develop effective coping mechanism skills. The common types of therapy I focus on are Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Interpersonal therapy, Family therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Art therapy and Psychoeducation. I am fully bilingual/bicultural in Spanish.

Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD - or looking for support in developing your fullest self - I believe you have everything you need to move through what you are facing now. I am here to help you see what's blocking your natural capacity for healing and growth, so that you can free yourself from whatever is holding you back.

Finding a therapist, you can trust can be intimidating and scheduling the first session can feel overwhelming. You have taken the first step towards self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. I am here to provide guidance toward reaching insight, confidence, improving relationships with self and others, and an opportunity to break patterns. I provide a safe, warm, and accepting space to allow you to freely express your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. I specialize in areas of coping with anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, creating meaning, acculturation challenges and empowering you to be your best self.

Do you ever feel disconnected from yourself or others? Although our country has made progress in raising mental health awareness, a great deal of stigma remains. In many communities, these issues are often shrouded by silence and shame, fostering mental health minimization. I have experience working with individuals and family relationships. I work with problems that arise in blended families, work, health, and career, trying to create better relationships and less conflict. Through role-plays, Gestalt techniques, and mindfulness, you can gain the power to reflect on your feelings, understand yourself and feel better.

You have felt different from others most of your life. You're tired of being constantly told that you are too sensitive or emotional. You feel too much. You require so much more alone time and downtime than most people. You believe in the good of others and that has sometimes caused you deep hurt in your relationships. It's exhausting and lonely being the person everyone goes to for advice and perspective. You're an old soul and you see the world differently. But the world seems so unkind to you in return. You've given so much and worked so hard but continue to feel unseen by those you care about. I see you.

Are you struggling, knowing it's time for a change but unsure where or how to start? Therapy doesn’t have to be a daunting process. While change and vulnerability can be difficult, I make every effort to help you move toward your goals at a pace defined by you. Whether it's related to our relationships, career, self perceptions and/or how we fit into our world, life's challenges can propel us toward seeking help. Finding our path and achieving our goals are vital in obtaining happiness and satisfaction in life. I want to help you get there.

You refuse to sleep walk. You want to do better and feel better and live life intentionally, authentically, and consciously. You might be focused on enhancing your relationships with intimate partners, thriving and loving midlife, getting fulfillment, meaning and purpose in your career, or getting relief from depression or anxiety. Or you might simply want to understand yourself better and build emotional intelligence. If you want to partner on your journey with a very (30+ years) experienced therapist who has invested in his own professional and personal development, I welcome you to contact me.

I offer Talk Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness Techniques, Art Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help resolve conflict, improve communication, and work to resolve trauma with a focus on early attachment and developmental needs. I also offer parent coaching to help with challenging behaviors at school or in the home.

To make real change happen we must choose. Choosing requires courage, strength & personal responsibility to undertake the intimate journey of self-discovery. The Japanese culture has a tradition of painting a broken section of pottery with gold, thereby embracing the meaning that beauty is found in the broken places. From a conscious & open heart space, I choose to meet you wherever you are in life, as life can hand us challenging situations at any moment, pushing our limits of pain, stress & comprehension. I am honored to co-create change with a diverse range of people, all ages & unique life stories,

I believe that the meaning of life is to tell one’s story. Everyone has a story to tell and we unconsciously share our stories everyday through words, actions, and interactions, despite whether or not someone is listening or willing to put the pieces together. The journey that we each take through life shapes us with each choice, decision, and coping strategy. I chose to become a counselor because I want to listen to those stories and help you to piece your puzzle together. I strive to create a safe space to explore, experiment, understand, and grow into yourself as you would like to become.

Founder of TriHealing Counseling Group. Like many "first-generationers", I experienced struggles with cultural and generational differences, the over-critical parent(s), the "never good enough" mentality, and a sense of emotional distance within myself and at times, within my relationship with my family. Through my own journey, I learned to challenge cultural norms, embracing my biculturalism and making decisions on how I wanted to experience the world as an independent Vietnamese-American woman. I often travel between San Jose and Chicago so I provide a hybrid of in-person and virtual therapy sessions.

I use an integrative approach that is based on the individual needs of the people in front of me and begins with compassion and empathy. I believe forming a strong therapeutic relationship is key for therapy to be successful. Rooted in person-centered therapy, I use empathy, respect, humor, and curiosity to guide treatment. From there, I weave various evidenced based practices together like Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, attachment theory and mindfulness strategies to challenge, empower, build insight and guide you to healthier ways of managing life.
