Therapists in Newbury Park, CA

Hi, I'm Rachel - I'm glad you're here. If you're looking for a therapist for the first time, I applaud you in taking this brave step. I'd be honored to get you started. If you're not new to therapy, but seeking something different, I hope our work together could offer you those delicious "lightbulb" moments that lead to healing. My diverse experience includes working with individuals aged 12 and up, hailing from various cultural backgrounds and socio-economic statuses. I'm comfortable working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families navigating mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse.

Rarely is the step towards seeking help from a therapist easy, or without contemplation. Here is a description of what I've found works best. During our first meeting, I engage you in a process to help you find the best fit possible for your particular needs. Together we can work on defining the right type and style of treatment best for you. We can define specific needs for either long or short term problems that are specific to you individually. This short process will give needed direction to your personal journey.

EVENING APPTS. I chose a PhD in Clinical Psychology in order to help individuals suffering with the emotional pain and upheaval that life's ups and downs can bring. I enjoy a close working relationship and collaborative trust based connection with my patients, which brings the reward of personal growth and stimulates the healing process. With more than 28 years in the mental health profession, and 25+ years in private practice, I continue working to expand my education and experience to include a wide variety of psychotherapeutical skill sets.

Everyone goes through challenging situations and rough times in life. While you may have successfully navigated through previous difficulties, it's not uncommon to have heightened problems arise where extra support and guidance is needed. As a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in Private Practice, I specialize in the treatment of adolescents, individuals, couples and families experiencing a wide range of psychological, emotional, behavioral and relational problems.

I work with people who are addressing the challenges of resolving trauma, whose symptoms often appear as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain and illness. As an LMFT, I hold certifications in both Somatic Experiencing® and gestalt therapy. I specialize in addressing emotional health/well-being and relationship concerns of the queer community. I support my clients' discovery and expression of their gender and sexual identity in ways that honor their unique individuality and sense of self.

With over a decade and a half of expertise, I provide therapeutic services that are not only effective but also demystify the process. Specializing in an array of issues such as anger management, self-esteem struggles, divorce, trauma, addictions, and family therapy, my approach is solution-focused and designed to facilitate positive changes often noticeable within the initial sessions.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a core part of engaging in healthy life changes. Change is very difficult for most people and sometimes all it takes is to talk about your struggles and have someone to listen and try to understand. My belief is that the therapy relationship can help the healing process no matter what it is you are dealing with. The first step towards having a happy life is a healthy mind.
