Where there is life, there is hope! Where there is hope, there is also a future for you. I am ready to be part of your healing journey, let's do this together. Trauma can cause dysregulation in our bodies, minds, and hearts. Many of the clients I see have been impacted by the Department of Social Services & the Department of Corrections. Sessions often focus on past trauma, triggers, attachment issues, and the effects of transracial adoptions. I work with people from all walks of life, from the foster care system to the prison system. I have the innate desire to build empathetic, genuine, therapeutic relationships with my clients.

Dr Markus Rogan is a recipient of the United Nations Medal of Honor.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, my clinical area of expertise is the treatment of Depression and Anxiety Disorders, Couple/Relational Issues, Grief and Loss and Parenting Issues. Welcome to my profile, it is my belief that by entering psychotherapy, one is opening the door for change towards personal growth and fulfillment. Therapy is a collaborative process and treatment goals are reviewed throughout the course of treatment. Treatment goals consist of reducing undesired problems and symptoms while aimed at increasing insight and personal growth. Psychotherapy consists of learning more adaptive coping skills, enhancing communication and improving emotional well being.

My name is Carol Fowlkes, and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, CA seeing clients via Telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD utilizing holistic interventions and cognitive behavior therapy. I have found my approach to be a good fit for individuals currently at an impasse in life and are preparing for change. When change is happening, we oftentimes need to re-assess the tools we have used in the past and check in with our needs. The change we are not prepared for can take the form of anxiety, depression, and stress which impacts our overall functioning.

Sending you a virtual hello! If you are experiencing challenges where you would like objective support and a proactive sounding board, my practice and style may be a good fit for you. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, relationship help, self-esteem, and situational stressors, such as life transitions and general challenges.

These assessments measure your current depression and anxiety levels as well as track changes and improvements.

Healing requires a safe and accepting place to express fully all of the feelings, thoughts, and experiences that make us who we are. As we sort out our experiences, we begin to understand ourselves better and can learn new ways to respond to the twists and turns that life has to offer. Development of new skills, an understanding of basic mental heath practices, and re-creating a new way to do life are all goals many of my clients have achieved. I enjoy witnessing my clients change their lives and become more engaged in living the life they desire.

The decision to seek therapy can be one of the most important steps we take on the path to emotional wellness. It's also a decision that often comes about after a great deal of contemplation and reflection. I believe this path can ultimately lead to a more enriched and authentic life, as well as a new found inner truth and self-awareness. By addressing core issues that we often overlook, we can open the door for improvement not only within ourselves but also in our relationships with others.

Have you wondered, where do I turn for support for anxiety, depression, my past hurts, and trauma? I’ve poured my life into others, neglected myself, and now feel completely lost. I feel invisible, misunderstood, and tired of being controlled by others. I fear making mistakes and am afraid to say ‘no’ because I might be abandoned. I think more about who I 'should' be than who I want to be. The weight of carrying the pain and shame is unbearable. Please know that you are important, and the fact that you are here says you’ve recognized the need to prioritize yourself. I’m so glad you’re here.

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.

I approach each client as a unique individual. Diagnoses suggest empirically validated treatments, but each individual is unique. There is always room for personal growth and creating balance in our lives. I am kind, gentle and honest. I have been practicing in Thousand Oaks, CA for over 15 years. I run a free weekly support group for pregnancy and infant loss sponsored by Hospice of the Conejo. Other support groups I have run are Bereavement Groups for Children and the support group for those who lost their loved ones on the Metrolink train crash.

Are you feeling stuck? In your career? In your relationship? In bad habits? In getting through a current transition? Or even just in life in general? Are you sick and tired of feeling unfulfilled in your work, of having the same arguments over & over with your significant other, of telling yourself that you aren't going to drink or party so much tonight or this weekend, or of thinking tomorrow will be different? Are you desperate to get past a current challenge or situation you are going through? Simply put, do you just want to be more happy?

Is your child struggling in school, anxious, can't focus or seems depressed? Dr. Shiro Torquato specializes in PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS and EDUCATIONAL CONSULTATIONS for children and teens. If your child is getting poor grades, having difficulty paying attention, or can't make friends, a psychological assessment could reveal the source of these issues. The results of this assessment will suggest interventions to help your child be happier and more successful. Dr. Torquato performs a comprehensive evaluation of your child's learning, cognitive abilities, social/emotional functioning and behavior to determine the core problems and make recommendations to help your child succeed at home and school.

Many have experienced traumatic events in their lives, such as violent incidents, divorce, accidents, or various types of abuse. These events often change the way one perceives and relates to the world, their relationships, their faith and themselves. I create a safe place to help one heal from these events and effects and provide tools to promote healthy choices for a better life. I have been in practice for over 35 years treating individuals, couples. Besides trauma I specialize in anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I am trained in EMDR. I also offer telemedicine.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I work collaboratively with clients to process painful emotions, navigate life-stressors, gain new insights, and take practical steps toward improved self-care and healthy pattern changes. My approach is insight-oriented, working from the assumption that the better you know yourself, the better you will function. Insight-oriented psychotherapy strives to teach you how and why you function in the ways you do, and to clarify your motivations. It gives you self-knowledge. Most of all, it gives you freedom to chose a different path and be the agent of positive change.
