I wholeheartedly believe that you are your own expert on your life. Through therapy, my goal is to help you identify and work through the challenges and obstacles that may be standing in the way of gratifying relationships, a satisfying work life, and living the life you wish to lead. Your problems are not what define you as a person. I am interested in helping you clearly express your strengths, hopes, and values, which may have become lost amidst life's struggles. I do my best to create a safe and supportive environment with warmth, respect, kindness, curiosity, and a little humor.

I've been a clinical psychologist for over 40 years. I have treated a broad range of clients during this time utilizing humanistic and psychodynamic approaches. My focus in therapy is with adults who struggle with a variety of personal issues including depression, anxiety, self-esteem and relationships. I am quite interested in the concerns that younger adults confront as well as those that individuals face as they transition into their mid-life years including aging, retirement, sexuality, illness, and loss. I believe that I can help clients gain greater clarity as they work to resolve these issues in an atmosphere of support and warmth.

We often forget that our first experience of the world is a shared one; that by nature we are relational beings. Which is why therapy can be so powerful. My job is to help you move away from the things that no longer work (perhaps never did), and toward a preferred way of being. Our process together is one of discovery & transformation, and honors both what you are and what you are becoming. You and I will collaborate to create an environment that is safe and supportive (I don't do that alone -- only you know what is safe). Through compassion & curiosity, our therapy will find new narratives and make meaning of old ones.

Are you worried about your child's eating? Has your child lost weight? Are you having trouble figuring out how to get him or her to eat? Are you feeling scared? Perhaps your teen is receiving eating disorder treatment that excludes you and you want to play a more active role. Maybe other treatments haven't helped. I can help you help your teen with an eating disorder heal and become a healthy independent young adult who can go about the business of building his or her life.

Have you reached a crossroads? Are you seeking new tools to make meaningful decisions consistent with where you are now? Perhaps you are experiencing challenges in relationships, grief and loss, or you just feel the desire to become more of who you want be. You know change is necessary, but “knowing” is usually not enough to make lasting change. Exploring obstacles to your wellbeing while developing new tools for transmuting them can greatly enhance your sense of self, the quality of your relationships, and fortify your vision for the future.

Just as we learn spoken language as children, we learn an unspoken language of relationship. Just as the words we hear become the words we speak, the way we're treated becomes the basis for how we treat others, and how we expect to be treated by the people in our lives. We learn to define ourselves according to the terms by which we were defined, but most of us suspect that there's more to the story. There is.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and felt like something was missing? Did it seem like you were talking in circles, or reached a plateau? Did it feel too rigid or surface level? Many clients come to me after having done traditional talk therapy and now they want to go deeper. So many issues like codependency, addiction, and persistent anxiety and depression are rooted in subconscious beliefs and patterns rooted in childhood pain. My work is unique because we address your subconscious mind and nervous system, in addition to cognitive process, to help you heal the past in order to move forward.

No matter how far you are on your journey, it's likely that there will always be something that's not perfect, or the way you want it to be. When we are hurting (and not present), it's difficult to enjoy life, make decisions, or work through transitions, traumas, painful memories, or experiences. Emotional injuries may lead to difficulties with relationships, self worth, goals, and living to your fullest potential. My name is Isabelle, and I will support you in practicing mindfulness and taking control, rather than "sinking" into painful life situations or memories. I use a variety of effective cutting-edge therapies and tools.

Welcome, my name is Stephanie H. Espinosa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Congratulations on taking the first step towards a better you! Often times, the pressures of life, our core beliefs and societal influences can significantly impact our lives in an adverse way. As a result, we often get stuck in self-destructive cycles and lose hope that our lives can be different. We habitually self-medicate with food, alcohol, drugs, work and/or sex to seek a moment of escape and even happiness.

You know that feeling.. Where you just don't feel like yourself. The demands of your life are feeling overwhelming and you feel like you have no idea what to do. You are tired and feel as if you are stuck in the same unhealthy cycles that cause you to feel helpless or hopeless. You have goals that you set for yourself last year that you never managed to get started on and your avoidance grows even stronger. Your relationships seem to be significant sources of stress in your life that hardly ever reach resolutions.

To change or not to change? One of the most frustratingly human experiences in life is wanting to change for the better only to find yourself repeating the same ineffective patterns and mistakes. This is where counseling can come into play. By understanding your own motivations and the internal barriers getting in the way of change, you can develop new strategies to know yourself better and develop tools to handle the challenges and stressors of life. My practice is strength-based, client-centered, motivational, and grounded in cognitive behavioral ideas.

One of my areas of focus is working with people of color, and those who are part of cultural and ethnic diasporas. This might include queer identity, uncertainty around career choices, and how to set boundaries with family and friends. I work with clients to discover healthier ways to be in relation to others and create a life that suites them and the people they care about.

Perhaps you're ready to do "the work" but find yourself feeling stuck and unsure where to start. If you're burnt out, struggling in your relationships, or adjusting to a huge change such as motherhood, you've come to the right space. I work from a perspective that honors your past in order to shed what's needed to have the future you deserve. I will hold space for you free of judgment, so you can truly see yourself in an effort to connect to your own internal guidance system and tap into your authenticity.

I work with people suffering from anxiety and/or depression who wish to deeply explore what is behind the symptoms they are experiencing. I work best with people who need a space to be heard and want to be empowered in their treatment. If you are noticing patterns and themes in your life and are unsure about why you are unable to do things differently despite wanting to change, exploring your foundational experiences can help to get to the root of the matter. Sometimes coping skills and tools are not enough, and I am here to help. I am LGBTQ affirmative, sex positive, and work through a social justice lens.

I have had the privilege and many opportunities to have encountered various individuals with their own unique lived experiences. Growing up Asian American in the era of the mode minority myth I struggled with the pre-selected expectations that were set for me. Through this, I took a step towards the challenge of redefining my core values and exploring my identity, including the fluidity that is always changing. Navigating two cultures have taught me to acknowledge and accept the many dualities that exist.
