TriWest Therapists in Weed, CA

Social work is not what I do—it's who I am. I come to PHW (located in Red Bluff) with a knowledge of trauma-based therapy and interventions for depression, anxiety, self-esteem and other emotional health issues. I am part of a military family and have a passion for serving those who served. Mary Ann provides "action-based" therapy—come prepared to get to work!

I provide Adult Supportive, Strengths based counseling for coping with daily life adjustment issues and trauma focused therapy (EMDR) for sexual assault, PTSD, and early childhood trauma and related issues. I also treat depression, and anxiety.I have worked the past 5 years locally up and down river and I'm familiar with local culture.

All the little things add up and sometimes it feels like you're drowning in petty things; creating stress, overwhelm, and panic. Other times it makes you want to shut down and shut everything out. You believe you should be able to handle all these little things because each thing isn't really that big; and yet, you feel weak and disappointed in yourself that these "little things" are tripping you up. I'm here to tell you that you don't have to live a life of "death by a thousand cuts." Your response is normal. It's a normal response to a crazy amount of tiny things, but it's not helping. You need new tools and strategies to heal.

Life got you down! Dreading waking up in the morning to another dreadful day. Tried everything only to find yourself having to go through another day like this. Telling yourself " I don't know what to do anymore". "Nobody understands how I am feeling". " I need help" "I just can't keep feeling this way" "I feel so hopeless about my situation" People around me are starting to notice something is wrong and asking if I am okay. I lie and tell them everything is fine. But on the inside I'm not fine. I have got to get some help, but where......

Some research states that the average couple will wait up to 6 years AFTER noticing something is wrong in their marriage before seeking help. So congratulations if you are seeking help before that! You've already made the first big step towards improving your marriage just by looking for a counselor. Now if you are experiencing a bit of choice paralysis that's normal. Its a big choice! My first goal in establishing a good counseling relationship is making sure it's a good fit for both of us. So know that if you call you're not stuck!

If you are here, I'm going to make a few assumptions: 1. You are looking for answers...and want someone who knows how to help. 2. You are willing to "do whatever it takes" to save your relationship. 3. You're thinking: Something is missing... I'm worried that I have "fallen" out of love. The kids are a reason to stay married but I need more than that... I'm beginning to think we are behaving more like roommates than lovers. I don't know if I will ever be able to trust them again...

When you've been walking along in life, doing the best you can, and it seems your best is never good enough. You're either letting yourself down or disappointing someone you care about. Regardless, the things around you just aren't going like they're supposed to. There's a statement that goes "not bad enough to leave, and not good enough to stay." Life isn't horrible and it's not great, it's just meh. And you're getting kind of tired of meh.

It’s possible that healing may come from the context of thinking. While providing space for you to be comfortable being your truest self, I aim to help you break free from old patterns, and expand your natural ability to heal and feel happier. Much of my work focuses on treating relationship conflict, trauma, anxiety and depression. I have experience working with individuals and couples from all backgrounds. I believe in building a trusting relationship that leads to empowerment and inner freedom. My goal is to join you in your journey of healing, resulting in a positive therapeutic experience and overall positive well being.

I have been a clinician for over 15 years. I am patient centered, and I genuinely care about my clients. I use Teletherapy to treat PTSD, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, etc; with a variety of techniques, including EMDR.
