Therapists for Teens in 92602

Are you a woman trying to make sense of life? Being a female has its passions and pitfalls. Physiological and hormonal changes, as well as life stressors can affect our mood at any of our developmental stages. Thus, many of times, making us feel exhausted and unsure of ourselves. Feeling this way does not mean you are losing your mind. It means, you need some assistance in getting past a growing pain in your development, only to emerge with stronger and healthier coping skills.

I have been working with individuals and families for over 20 years. I love helping individuals and families feel more competent and happy. Whether it is an issue with your preschooler or communication problems with your teenager, I can help find a solution that everyone can live with.

Constant worries keep many people from leading a productive life and negatively affect relationships. A safe and accepting therapeutic environment will help place those worries into perspective. I have worked with children, adolescents, couples, families, adults, and senior citizens. I provide an array of counseling services, including: adolescent substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, parenting skills, anger management, grief and bereavement, trauma, anxiety disorders, self-harm behaviors, gender identity, sexual orientation, acculturation, depression, bipolar disorders, major depressive disorder, and domestic violence.

When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help. Perhaps your or your significant other's past and unresolved issues are what is creating the distress; an inability to trust, to feel joy and happiness, to pursue dreams. It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

Are you ready to make changes in your life and relationships? Are you a teenager who is struggling with distressing feelings,or an adult feeling challenged by the demands of parenting or your desire to improve your significant relationships? Whether you are ready for the next big step in your life or feeling completely stuck, I will help you discover the path that is right for you. I have 26 years of experience collaborating with clients to achieve relief from distressing symptoms, improve and rebuild damaged relationships, achieve personal goals, and create a calmer, more peaceful and fulfilling life.

I'd like to help... Your Relationship Within Yourself and With Others. I believe your mind and body work together; that you can create your own happiness by how you choose to respond to your feelings, and act towards yourselves and the world around you. If you are ready for change in your life, or would like to explore new ways of thinking and living your life, my Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution Focused, and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy approaches may help. My goals for you are to receive new insight/tools that you can use to help create a better, happier life.

Life is a journey, and sometimes there are bumps and pitfalls along the way. When you experience a bump in the road, a pitfall, or are tasked with deciding which road to take, it can be natural to feel anxious, sad, angry, and/or overwhelmed. My job, as a licensed marriage and family therapist for over the past decade, has been and is to walk alongside you and help you navigate these bumps, pitfalls, and decisions. I will help you identify what your goals for the therapeutic process are, will provide an empathic ear, will brainstorm with you, and will create a safe space for you to talk about and sort out your problems!

Hi! I am so glad you are here. It takes courage and strength to find a therapist to walk with you through whatever stage of life you are currently in. I help clients overcome a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, family of origin issues, addiction, grief and loss, interpersonal conflict and life transitions. My focus is working with attachment and trauma issues with children, teens, adults, couples and families.

Are your Anxiety and Depression preventing you from enjoying life and relationships? Do you find yourself alone and disconnected from your loved ones? Are you looking to understand the problems you're facing on a deeper level to make lasting changes and re-claim your life? In working with me, you will find my services as a guide to help you through the difficulties of anxiety and depression and the veil they have set in all aspects of your life.

Life is a journey and every small step you take in therapy is a step in the right direction. My goal is to provide an empathic and engaging atmosphere where you will experience safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental interaction as we navigate your journey together. I believe in a client-centered approach and that you are the change-maker who holds the power to guide your journey. I believe that each person has unique impressions and experiences, so my treatment is tailored to your individual needs. I hope to work with you in exploring your emotions and experiences, to help you develop some tools that can make life’s journey easier.

Life in our demanding and unpredictable world can sometimes leave us exhausted, in pain, and unable to move forward. Whether your struggle is in response to a recent traumatic event or past hurt that never healed, there is hope for you to find peace, safety, and restoration.

I'm glad that you have taken a minute to look at my listing. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with a Telehealth practice based in Irvine. I am able to see clients statewide. I began practicing in 1982, first as an Intern and fully licensed (LMFT 19383) since July 1984. My emphasis is on marital and family issues, plus I have a special interest and extensive experience with High Functioning Autism / Asperger's Disorder. I have often found that when we make the relationship our primary focus, the relationship often gets worse. When each of us focuses on becoming who we were designed to be, often the relationship gets better.

Asking for help can be one of the most difficult and even scariest thing for you to do. But therapy doesn't have to be so daunting nor does it have to take years for you to feel better. The therapy space should feel safe and empowering in order for you to be able to share, to learn, to consider a different perspective, to gain insight, to process your experiences, to start healing your emotional wounds, and to grow. You are not alone in feeling lost, helpless, angry, or confused. WE ALL feel this way at some point in, or about some areas of, our lives. A burden shared is a burden less heavy.
