Relationship Issues Therapists in Alhambra, CA

Life presents us with many difficulties. When things are unsatisfying or overwhelming, our mind naturally responds with emotional distress that might manifest as anxiety, anger, sadness, helplessness or shame. We often find it hard to navigate these feelings because dealing with the sources can be very intense and complicated, especially when we lack support. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore and express yourself freely. Together, we can navigate your difficult experiences, process any unresolved issues, and work toward a better relationship with yourself.

Life can bring unforeseen experiences and challenges that we may not always be able to handle, either physically or emotionally. You do not have to tackle these challenges alone. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and systems-oriented therapy. As a clinician, I focused on enriching my skills by developing an outcome-driven practices to assist my clients with their desired goals.

Many of you will experience dramatic and sometimes shocking changes in your or your loved one's health, relationships or careers. I have over 28 years of experience helping people and their families cope with a wide variety of chronic and terminal illness, relationship changes, adjustment, grief and loss. Using your strengths, I will help you work through these difficult changes to help you adjust to their impact on you and your loved ones.

I believe creating safety within a non-judgmental environment is crucial to begin the journey of self-exploration, recovery and healing. Each person has their own unique set of beliefs, experiences and needs. Working together, we identify the goals and direction of therapy. In my work with individuals and couples I use a feminist, empowerment-focused and collaborative approach. As a guide in my clients' journeys, I help clients face their challenges and find ways to move through them. I know the path can be difficult at times, and I look forward to working with those ready to explore those next steps.

I have had the joy of working with individuals for over 18 years who find themselves struggling with problems related to work/life balance, stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues as well as questions related to life’s purpose. I have had the opportunity to work with those in the creative industry in Los Angeles to those in the high demand tech community of Silicon Valley. I have seen first hand the impact of stress, loneliness, worry and depression. My goal is to support an individual in feeling better with strategies that can be implemented outside of therapy.

Hi, welcome! Perhaps you have been struggling with the ability to connect with life fully. You feel bogged down by overwhelming feelings, the difficulties in your relationships, and the demands to keep up in life. You work hard to support others in your life and sometimes it can feel difficult to tend to your needs in the process. I'm here to help. I help folks who struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, relationship difficulties and burnout. Together we will slow down and take time to better understand the thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that can make it difficult to experience calm and connection with yourself and others.

Our relationships are the greatest treasures we have in life. When we feel disconnected in our relationship with ourselves and others, we are more prone to experiencing isolation, dysfunction and pain. While our pain can be a great teacher, feeling stuck and alone on the journey of life can feel hopeless at times. My goal is to walk with you through the healing process and support you in restoring life in your relationship with yourself and others. With a holistic approach to therapy, addressing the needs of the body, mind and soul are vital for restoring connection as we walk together through the healing process.

Healing is a deeply personal journey, and integral to this process is having a nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe and heard. Therapy can be that safe place to explore aspects of your identity you may never have addressed, reconnect with wounded parts of yourself, and foster a greater sense of acceptance to help you to handle the many stresses of life. Whether your concerns involve childhood trauma, life transitions, or relationship issues, I will meet you where you currently are with empathy and patience.

Perhaps some of the important pieces of your life have not fallen into place yet, leaving you feeling stuck. Balancing dating/relationships can be challenging, especially with work, family, and personal life. Experiencing this day after day can feel hopeless, but I am glad to say that you CAN make things better. Men are often taught to dismiss and devalue their feelings. Perhaps it was a lack of support of our emotions growing up or a deeply ingrained acceptance of the social norm that celebrates a very specific definition of masculinity. Either way, it can result in unaddressed anxiety, resentment, or depression.

You are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and be the best version of yourself. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to resolve hindrances that challenge in your life may have caused. I enjoy working with teenagers, young and mid-age adults, alike, males and females. I have many years of experience working with adults dealing with depressive and/or anxious symptoms, stress, relationship problems, and phase of life transitions.

Hi! I'm Christina Harner, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I'm also an active-duty military spouse and a veteran myself. believe therapy works for those that want to make change.

You feel stuck, lonely, or burnt out. You find yourself feeling overwhelmed by life's demands and others' expectations. You imagine, what if you had options, an opportunity for relief, or permission to show up differently. You're really good at putting the needs of others above your own, but you find yourself having trouble identifying and advocating for your own needs. Many of my clients describe themselves as people pleasing, high achieving, and overthinking. Therapy with me is an opportunity to honor the parts of you which seek to feel good enough, self-compassionate, and more at ease.

I focus my work mainly on depression, anxiety, family issues, trauma, emerging adulthood struggles, life transitions, or cross-cultural adjustment issues. I believe that by providing a relationship of acceptance, empathy, and empowerment along with skill building, you will feel seen, heard, safe, and valued. If this sounds like you, I would love to accompany you on your journey of growth, healing, and thriving.
