Therapists in Ventura, CA

Hello, my name is Kendra Davis, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I often blend elements from different approaches to help people identify their treatment goals and individualize their own plans to meet their needs. My core gift is helping others to find joy in places that are dark. I give it by helping them to connect to others through communication, overcome barriers, and feel safe so they can relax and decompress!

I have been in private practice for over 20 years. I enjoy working with children, families, and adults in helping empowerment to overcome difficult periods in life. While I do have occasional openings for therapy, I specialize in psychological testing and understanding the "big picture" to provide diagnosis and direction for treatment. I can assist in evaluations for learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Neuropsychological deficits, developmental delays, behavior disorders, sexual disorders, Forensic (Competency, Psychosexual risk), school evaluations, Spanish-speaking evals, and more.

Deciding to seek counseling services is, often times, a personal and difficult decision. Finding the right therapist is a daunting task. Once you take the first step and found the proper support, you are on the path of self-discovery and healing. It is the first step towards "figuring it out" or "making a change". When you find yourself feeling stuck or struggling, reaching out is positive and empowering. Looking forward to helping you thrive all the while providing guidance and support on your journey towards achieving your goals.

I’m Paul Allen - you can call me JR - and I can help. I provide online therapy to clients from California, New Mexico and New Hampshire. Are you ready to see changes in your life? Relationship? Interested in ways to support individuals within your life? Are you nervous about what change looks like? Do you struggle with generic “advice” because your situation is so unique that what works for some people doesn’t seem to work for you?

I am pleased to announce joining The Effective Therapy Group. My practice includes kids (4+), as well as couples, and individuals. My work with individuals includes anxiety, PTSD (trauma), abuse, depression, grief, and life’s transitions. Transitions that include moving, divorce, change in health, and recovering from the past year’s health crisis, as well as being an addictions specialist.

Whether you or a loved one are feeling stressed, having difficulty adjusting to a new job, working from home, or in a tough relationship, let me help you work through the difficult situation. I have experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families. Combining your insight into your life situation and my training in evidenced based practices, together we will create realistic individualized goals for therapy following a strengths based approach.

When choosing a therapist, you want to feel comfortable, understood, and supported while working towards your goals. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and families, navigating life’s stressors. I build trust and connection with each client to help them understand their emotions and behaviors. From there, we work together to reach your highest potential. My approach is collaborative and integrates different ways to help ease stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I treat children, adolescents and adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, and relational issues. I help couples understand each other's emotional needs to have a more meaningful satisfying relationships. I also help parents deal with their children's anger, social and academic issues. The goal of treatment is to identify the individual's strengths, enhance them and identify and treat factors that jeopardize getting to ones ultimate potentials. I have treated factors contributing to Enuresis, and Encopresis and selective mutism.

Christine has been working in the field of psychology for the past 25 years as Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. She specializes in Addictions, Relationship Enhancement, Couples, Family, Stress Management, Career Development, Mindfulness Training, Self Hypnosis, Sports Psychology, EMDR-Trauma Work, Peak Performance, Life Coaching, & Personal Development.

While 'regular therapy' focuses on the past and the emotional wounds that come with it, coaching focuses on goal setting and taking action, understanding our present and finding ways to create a brighter future. It's about changing old habits, developing new ones, embracing change and moving with ease towards a more fulfilling life. Hypnosis is a relaxed state, where the mind is more receptive to certain ideas. Combining life coaching with hypnotherapy brings about the most positive changes, engaging both, the conscious and subconscious minds, empowering people to achieve lasting results and enhanced mental / emotional attitudes.

As a therapist, I bring a wealth of multicultural knowledge and experience to the table, ensuring you receive professional services built on respect and trust. Let’s bust the myth together: therapy isn’t just for those who’ve faced trauma. Whether you’re seeking clarity, a self-esteem boost, or solutions to life’s challenges, talking with a therapist can be life-changing!
