Women's Issues Therapists in Fullerton, CA

Hello! I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor who is passionate about serving individuals from historically marginalized communities. I believe that therapy and healing are culturally unique and a political and intergenerational process. Sometimes, the obstacles we face relate to systemic issues, such as systems of patriarchy, racism, colonization, homophobia and transphobia, and capitalism. I aim to provide an affirming space to guide clients in exploring the interaction of their identities, beliefs about their self-concept, and perception of their relationships.

Now is the time to focus on growth, healing, purpose and direction in your life. Therapy is a powerful tool for adolescents and young adults when you encounter challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, family issues, substance use, poor self-esteem, relationship issues, + loss. Therapy is an opportunity to find comfort, to build strength and to overcome. For adolescent clients: Life is complicated and the bottom line is that your life can be difficult to navigate. I’m well aware that most young people aren’t thrilled about the idea of going to therapy, know that I am ready to hear you, to respect you and to value you.

Therapy can help you overcome challenges such as addressing negative feelings, making behavioral change, managing a transition, or dealing with grief, loss, and trauma. Therapy is also a great place to learn about strengthening relationships, setting goals, and challenging yourself to be the person you want to be. I have been working with and advocating for individuals, children, and families since 2005. I welcome all clients, but found my techniques to be particularly helpful in working with anxiety, depression, life transition, trauma history, PTSD, grief or loss, and couple & family dynamic issues.

Life gets hard sometimes and unfortunately the world we live in doesn’t equip us with the tools needed to take on problems when they arise. Problems can get too big for us to handle, at times infiltrating themselves into various aspects of our lives, taking our agency while making us believe there is something inherently wrong with us. Within my work as a therapist I lead with compassion and empathy, knowing that problems live outside of us and not within us—always staying aware and away from pathologizing practices.

***I have openings for new clients*** I have always been interested in working with people who don't quite feel like they "fit the mold." I particularly enjoy working with parents and their kids - esp. homeschoolers and folks with ADHD! I use play with purpose to help facilitate communication, awareness, and the therapeutic process. I use a lot of art, crafts & writing to help people express themselves. You will not find a one-size-fits-all approach here, instead we will work together to find an individualized approach that helps empower everyone involved and help you meet your goals! I am telehealth only right now.

Hi there! My name is Auria Zahed, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression due to the impacts of a negative self-talk, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, or feeling "stuck". In each therapy session, I focus on mental well-being and emotional awareness, and my approach is a combination of a few therapeutic modalities. My sessions incorporate healing past traumas alongside accomplishing present goals. I currently specialize in working with women, victims of narcissistic abuse, and clients who identify as LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC.

Hello, my name is Grace Usigbe. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health practices.

Do you find yourself running on empty with not enough energy to show up for yourself? Do you feel like a stranger in your own body? Maybe you look in the mirror and hate what you see or are overwhelmed by all the responsibilities of being the perfect mom/dad, daughter, sister/brother, employee, or partner. Wherever you are on your journey, you do not have to do it alone. I am here to help empower, encourage, and support you in your discovery of your inner strengths. Individual therapy can help rebuild your connection with yourself and your purpose.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who wants to help you gain the insight you need to live your best life. If anxiety, sadness, past hurts and/or relationship problems are keeping you up at night--or distracted during the day--let's put our heads together and help you feel better. I realize that creating meaningful change in our lives sometimes requires collaboration, accountability and coaching. I’m here to support you in a sincere but candid manner to help you navigate your most difficult obstacles so you can move from simply surviving to steady significance. Sometimes, we all need a little help.

Although what you are experiencing may feel beyond your ability to cope, you are not alone. Most individuals find comfort knowing that others have been where they are. Many issues faced are in response to some type of loss. Loss takes many forms: loss of self or personal identity, loss of faculties or mobility, the physical loss of a loved one, relationship loss or the lost dream of a perfect marriage or family, or career loss, to name a few. These losses are often sudden, unexpected, or traumatic experiences that can interrupt your life, derail your goals, affect your relationships, and undermine the flow of life transitions.

I work primarily with teens, adults, and couples. I have worked in both the private sector and in non-profits and government, giving me real-life experiences in the work world outside of private practice as well. I have been a family court mediator, helping divorcing families work through their issues around parenting and custody. I specialize in relationship issues, dual diagnosis, co-dependency and addiction issues, depression, anxiety, grief, and serving the LGBTQI community.

I believe in meeting my client's where they are at in life. I realize there are a number of struggles we each face whether alone or amongst our families, children, or within parts of our lives such as in work and school. Listening to your needs or those of your child will help guide our work together. We will pull from your strengths and learning style to find new ways to create positive change in your life.

At times when we feel overwhelmed, it seems easiest to escape or run away. The challenge with this is that even with a fresh start, the emotions still linger. I would like to sit with you and process these uncomfortable feelings and find ways to cope with seemingly impossible circumstances. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I work from a person-centered approach, believing my clients have the skills and strength within to grow and thrive.

Nobody’s childhood dream was to grow up and feel overwhelmed, alone, stuck or unworthy. I aim to help individuals heal from trauma-related issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues. If you find yourself living without a navigation system to understand emotional terrain or trauma that impacts your well-being; you are not alone. All of us go through rough patches in our lives. My approach is specific to meet your unique needs in a safe and non-judgemental space.

You're hoping that maybe things can get better. They CAN. I am passionate about identifying your unique gifts to help you create healthy relationships and live a fulfilled and inspired life. I take a client-centered approach where sessions are built around your needs and strengths in an engaged, empathic, and safe environment. Since 2005, I have been helping my clients learn techniques for creating lasting, positive changes in their lives. Reach me today and I'll provide you with a free consultation that can bring you one step closer to the life you were meant to live.
