Female Therapists in Arcata, CA

I work alongside the client (or clients), helping them to discover their deepest goals. These could be (for example) to attain their dream job, to make relationships flow, or to understand and connect to their environment. This process brings more joy and freedom into their daily lives and assists in removing obstacles along the path.

I will help you get to the root of your struggles: depression, anxiety, relationship problems, isolation, feeling stuck, anger issues, low self-esteem. Using my training in depth- and somatic-oriented psychotherapy, I will help you make contact with your natural, real self as well as the conscious and unconscious ways that you keep yourself from living fully.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my therapy profile. I offer a highly personalized, supportive approach tailored to your specific needs. As your Therapist, I will provide you with a safe environment to explore and process your thoughts and feelings. We will work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your therapy goals.

There's a saying, "Healing is the application of love to the places inside that hurt." I'm here to fully support you in tending to those places. Together we will journey into understanding the major themes and patterns in your life and what they are trying to teach you. This increased level of awareness can help you access your strength and intuition, eliminate negative self talk and choose a more fulfilling relationship with yourself, others and life. I offer a 15 minute meet and greet to ensure we are a good fit.

Seeking therapy is an act of courage and vulnerability. I meet clients where they are and provide warmth, authenticity and safety to obtain their goals. I value active discussion and feedback to help you feel empowered in making decisions and solving problems. I enjoy working with people who are navigating transitions, are seeking support in improving self esteem, experience anxiety and are looking to process family dynamics. I have experience in supporting people with trauma, depression, anxiety, life stressors, gender identity exploration and conflict in relationships. I see teens, adults and couples in my practice at this time.

Feeling out of balance or like your relationship is struggling can be overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. I specialize in helping couples navigate through the complexities of their relationships, whether you're dealing with anxiety, communication issues, major life transitions, or feeling disconnected. I believe that the quality of our lives is greatly determined by the quality of our relationships, and that reconnecting with your partner is possible.

My style is collaborative, compassionate and non formulaic. Together, we decide what the issues are and how to tackle them. A special focus of my practice is with creative's and culturally diverse people. Besides teaching clients new skills to overcome their feelings of depression, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem, I am also trained as a master career coach and can help you find greater meaning in your career choices or achieve success in your job search or in improving your work relationships.

I want to help adults identify their values and beliefs and support them in learning what they need in order to live a life that is in line with their values. I want to help those who feel stuck, providing guidance and tools to move forward and achieve personal growth and fulfillment.

Please note: I only have a couple spaces available on my caseload so I am prioritizing them for Spanish monolingual speakers or Eng/Span bilinguals. Seeking out help can be a difficult step toward an active role in creating change in your life. That it why I seek to be an empathic, non-judgemental helper on your journey. I have been working with children, adolescents, adults, and families since 2012 on struggles such as depression, anxiety, anger management, relational problems, and trauma.

My name is Oreta Draper, and I have been practicing as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over twenty years who enjoys helping others. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transition, relational problems, and substance usage through various treatment modalities. Over the years, I have found that everyone can use some help with processing challenges that may be going on in their life, where additional support may be needed to take steps towards their healing journey.

I offer support to those who are ready to explore their inner worlds in a meaningful way so as to better understand how your unique history has impacted your current pattens, beliefs, emotions and behaviors. With curiosity, we will uncover the underlying issues that are at the root of your distressing symptoms. I will support you to allow your emotions to emerge, make sense of past experiences, and create updated and more accurate beliefs and narratives about your life. My intention is to uncover your inherent ability to face and move towards the joys and challenges that life brings with more ease, resilience and wholeheartedness

Taking the first step in asking for support can be incredibly challenging. You don't have to struggle alone. I am here to meet you where you are, whether you feel anxious or overwhelmed, manage a disorder, have life transitions, or have relationship difficulties. I provide the foundation for a caring, warm therapeutic relationship that will allow you to reflect on your life in a safe and supportive environment. Together we will work collaboratively to address your concerns while promoting the development of more rewarding, authentic, harmonious relationships with yourself and others.

How does one live a meaningful life? I use a narrative and existential approach to support you in answering some of these questions. My practice tends to work with individuals seeking their own path while experiencing life transitions that could be impacting their self esteem and causing anxiety. I love working with clients who are actively self reflective and cultivating a personal sense of meaning in their lives through embracing uniqueness, creativity and agency. I have a passion for working with couples as well as individual adults.

I work with clients who are looking to live more authentically, to know themselves at an honest and in-depth level, to learn to accept the parts of themselves they have wanted to hide, those who want to acknowledge and work through anxiety, depression, lack of accountability or responsibility in their life, and those who are creative artists or entrepreneurs that may feel scattered or lost. I work with clients who are feeling stuck, in their relationships, career, or within themselves. I work from a somatic perspective, incorporating contemporary Reichian theory and Ecopsychology principles, among many other modalities.

As a strength-based and trauma informed therapist, I am committed to creating a positive and supportive therapeutic alliance. I have 30 years of experience in the field of mental health and enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My clinical practice includes crisis intervention, mediation, relational counseling, and trauma recovery. I believe that building a trusting and supportive relationship is an essential component for healing. I practice in an engaged and relational way, asking questions and offering feedback and coping tools, with the intent of guiding you toward your own solutions with compassion.

My practice is relationship focused. I particularly enjoy working with couples and have found that if couples are willing to put the work in, great strides can be made towards healing and connection. I have completed two levels toward certification in the Gottman method of couples therapy and have also done training in the Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. In my work with couples and individuals, I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy.

You are worthy; You are wise; You are unique. When you're ready I'm here to provide you with a supportive space to reflect on and process what's been going on. Together, we will make a plan for your path forward.
