Psychodynamic Therapists in Lakeview, Stockton, CA

I am a Marriage & Family Therapist practicing since 1995. My specialty is Personal Growth for all life stages & all the issues surrounding Midlife & beyond including, but not limited to, sense of loss, changes in relationships, shifts in values and fear of aging. These mid-life stages are often accompanied by varying degrees of low self-esteem, loneliness, increased stress, anger, anxiety & depression. Is it possible to come home to ourselves at these stages to an inner space, a true refuge, in which we welcome change & whatever is occurring rather than struggle to change it?

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

What is the purpose of therapy? I believe it helps people understand what they need from themselves or their loved ones, and how to ask for it. It's often necessary for people to understand why they stopped using their voice to ask for what they need, or to find out if they ever learned how to use it. Through unconditional support, non-judgment, and caring confrontation, my intention is to help people find peace and trust in their relationships and within themselves. I have worked for several mental health agencies, and have extensive experience helping individuals, couples, and families.

The therapeutic relationship, ie…how you connect with your therapist, is the most essential element to the success of the therapy you are seeking. I strive to ensure that the relationship between myself and my clients consists of respect for where you are at when you begin your therapy as well a guarantee that the focus will always be on you and whatever needs you have at the moment.

I am a license clinical social worker that has a wide range of experience in working with families, adolescence and adults. I also have experience in using many evidence based treatment modalities, that have had successful outcomes with various mood and personality disorders. I am culturally competent and able to meet and accept my clients with a positive regards with an in-dept understanding that there are causes (stimuli) and effects to all adverse symptoms and behaviors that can alter the well-being of an individual.

It is helpful for all of us to develop the skills that enable us to step back from emotion-laden life events (both good and bad) in order to gain perspective and insight. This allows us to interact optimally with those in our lives who can significantly impact our well-being. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that promotes self-exploration and the development of insight into our own behaviors as well as the behaviors of others. Identifying the potential "whys" behind our actions and reactions can be empowering in the context of personal change and development.

My name is Judy Shvartz and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Woodland Hills, California.
