Hi, I'm Dr. Brookins licensed marriage and family therapist. I'm also a senior pastor's wife and I specialize in counseling Christian women. Growing up in the church I understand first hand, the sensitive and often complex needs of Christian believers. And as a skilled licensed mental health professional, I also understand that our mental health matters. And, Jesus does not want us to suffer. As a Strengths-Based therapist, I utilize CBT, EMDR, and Solution Focused interventions in treatment. I also offer a variety of coaching packages specifically designed for the Christian woman.

Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the Central Valley in California. I received my Masters from California State University, Fresno and have been practicing for approximately 9 years. I work primarily with adults who are struggling with life changes and transitions to help them cope with these stressors and factors contributing to their stress.

My vision is to provide culturally competent, and solution-focused services that promote individuals’ social-emotional health and wellbeing, help to prevent the development of mental health challenges through mindfulness, and address key issues leading to one’s own mental health balance.

Let me help you become the main character in the RPG of your life. My name is Craig Landers, originally from Illinois, I moved to California to complete my PhD program and have worked to help children and adolescents confront their psychological difficulties in a variety of settings from hospitals to private practices.

Thank you for taking the first step and being here. Are you experiencing hurdles in life such as work stress, family issues, or relationship difficulties/issues? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma or grief? Do you often find it difficult to find the words to describe your feelings? Or to open up to people and feel a connection with them? Most likely, you've answered yes to at least one of these areas of concern. You are not alone; in the emotions, experiences, and pain that comes with life. I believe that every person who seeks counseling has their own answers to their unique situations.

Have your ever said… “ I feel overwhelmed,” “Oh that’s just my anxiety, or “Why am I here?”Or does it seem like you constantly feel stressed/ depressed through the week? The world can be a stressful/ harmful place at times and it might be hard for you to talk about challenges you are having with family/ friends. HOWEVER.. Don’t worry there is help available!

My goal is to provide quality psychological services to those struggling with daily life. I have experience working with adults and adolescents who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, and other mental health struggles.

Often people go through life just going through the motions, balancing school, work, home life, social life, relationships and much more. As a therapist with experience working with infants, children, adolescents, adults and couples I will use genuine curiosity, and empathy to learn your story to help you explore and process your feelings and emotions. Together we will discover ways to assist you in developing coping skills and assist you with helping you live the life you want. This will be a space for you to go at your own pace and together we can create a treatment plan that works best for you.

Life is full of peaks and valleys and we all could use some assistance. First, I want to thank you for being both bold and courageous while taking a positive step toward healing. We all live with some elements of personal, emotional, or physical pain, and helping people heal is something that I am passionate about. As a Black male APCC with a healthy racial identity, I am committed to serving communities that lack access and resources. While a generalist, my niche populations are athletes (i.e., all-levels & sports), people struggling with depression and anxiety, persons with disabilities, and vocational rehabilitation.

I work with anyone who is dealing with loss or transitions in their life, death or divorce and who are interested in growth and healing. I have extensive experience in helping people deal with acute or chronic illness and end of life issues. I work with people who are struggling with addictions or challenged by a loved ones addiction. I believe in change and helping people find their passion. I work with depression, anxiety and personality disorders. In marital therapy I believe if you loved each other I can help you renew that love.

Have you ever felt life has to be okay all the time? Change is a normal part of life. However, we do not always know how to best navigate through the emotions brought on by these changes. Therapy can be the safe space needed to start your journey towards reaching your personal goals.

Do you struggle with worrying thoughts and nervous feelings that just don't go away? Do you struggle saying NO to others, put the needs of others over yours, or feel selfish for taking time off or doing something for yourself? Does your kiddo or teen struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulty with peers? If you are here it sounds like you are ready for some real change. I have a passion for working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty saying "NO" to others, and difficult childhood experiences.

My name is Angelica Rodriguez. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe therapy should be a collaboration between a therapist and a client. I focus on helping clients improve the relationships that surround them. Ultimately, your most important relationship is the one that you have with yourself. I support clients to foster healthy relationships within and with others. As a bi-cultural therapist, I also pride myself on bringing cultural awareness to my approach.

Healing is a personal and unique journey for each individual, which might be made more tolerable and attainable within a secure and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. If you are experiencing mood disturbances, anxiety, relationship difficulties, acculturative stress and other stress related issues, current distress due to past traumatic experiences, chronic pain issues, grief and loss, hallucinatory experiences, phase of life/mid life crisis, and abuse issues, I can be of support to you.

Family and relationships are an integral part of an individual's ability to be happy, and healthy. I believe that all individuals can benefit from the unique relationship that is built between the therapist and client. Individual's who have difficulty with mental health problems are particularly appropriate for treatment. I have more than 11 years experience working with children with severe behavioral and attachment difficulties, and the family's/friends who love them. The parent/partner relationship is a particularly special relationship that requires support, attention, and caring reflection. I am calm and supportive.

Are you stuck in a vicious cycle of little to no motivation, low self-esteem, and unfulfilled goals? Has that cycle led to increased anxiety and depression? Whether you find yourself at this point due to traumatic childhood experiences or another reason, one thing’s very clear: pushing through doesn’t work anymore. You can’t control your emotions. The crying spells and angry outbursts are affecting your work and personal life. What do you do? You need to get to the cause of the pain and then work through it. There are many ways to overcome your challenges, but therapy is usually the quickest, most effective, and safest way to do it.

It's common for the challenges we face to feel overwhelming, which can lead to stress, anxiety, poor performance, and other negative emotions and experiences. This can make us question our worth and abilities, and we may find ourselves stuck in a cycle of using ineffective coping strategies. It's important to regain control and find a balance between our body and mind to overcome these obstacles.

Concerned about the behavior of your child or teenager? Having difficulty connecting with someone you care about? I enjoy working collaboratively with clients of all ages, but specialize in using my experience gained working with the juvenile corrections population and establishing an Adolescent DBT Program for Kings View Counseling Services to provide effective treatment to families with children or adolescents who struggle with explosive anger, substance abuse, mood disruption or self-harming behaviors. Together we work to improve their understanding and control of their emotional and mental responses in order to accomplish their life goals.

As a LMFT and TBRI Pracitioner, I have learned that many children, families, and individuals suffer from trauma. Often client's diagnosis of PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Bi-Polar, and ADHD are related to early childhood and adult trauma, as well as a lack of early secure attachment to their primary caregiver. Recent studies in Neuroscience confirm that Neuropathways in the brain develop based on these traumas.
