Anxiety Therapists in Big Bear, CA

Are you an adolescent who feels crippled by anxiety and depression? Or a couple who feels trapped in a cycle of distrust, blame, and feeling unheard, unseen, or misunderstood by your partner? Or maybe you are an adult living with chronic illness and trauma and feel hopeless that you’ll ever truly heal and live your life free of invisible disability? I’ve been where you are and know what it’s like to feel stuck, afraid, lost and alone. Seeking therapy is the beginning of you blooming into a lotus flower and rising from the ashes. You have the answers within you and the capacity to heal. I'm a transpersonal therapist here to walk

I most enjoy working with clients who are willing to look within and accept responsibility (not blame) for their thoughts, feelings and behavior. I feel especially honored to work with clients who have had traumatic childhood experiences, including sexual abuse. Although these events can have devastating consequences, I have found that survivors of childhood trauma can also be catapulted to higher than usual levels of consciousness and well-being when the traumas are healed. In other words, therapy is a very gratifying journey to walk with a client. I work well with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, eating disorders and dissociative disorders.

Life stressors and adverse experiences can become overwhelming. Many people find themselves in a place where they could benefit from some extra support. My goal is to explore with you what is holding you back from feeling more aware of and connected with the direction of your life. I provide a welcoming, non-judgmental space to help you discover inner wounds, wisdom, and healing.

I believe that the goal of "happiness" we are all striving for, is not that of elation, but inner peace. Without an understanding of this subtle difference, many of us can find ourselves on a slightly different path than we have intended. Much of my work focuses on helping my clients find acceptance in themselves in order to listen to their own voices and create a life that is fulfilling. I believe that each of my clients are the experts in their own lives. In that way, our sessions become a joint process--rather than an "expert/patient" experience.

I view therapy as a safe space where clients can feel empowered to share their stories as they experience them. My primary goal as a clinician is not to “fix” you, my goal is to support you on your internal journey as you cultivate the skills necessary to grow and heal in a conducive manner. My function as a clinician is to help clients navigate and dissect their stories as a way to help them understand the meaning behind their experiences. I always encourage my clients to come to therapy as they are and we will begin the therapeutic process from there. I DO NOT work with MINORS, COUPLES, and FAMILIES.

Are you struggling? During these uncertain times, do you sometimes feel like life is getting out of control? For over 30 years, people have been coming to me for help with transforming their broken hearts into hearts filled with LOVE, their troubled minds into minds seeking NEW VISTAS and wounded spirits into spirits filled with HOPE. You can enrich your life by learning how your brain creates change along with cognitive and emotional restructuring techniques designed to promote your own creative problem solving process.

I am here to help you navigate through the difficult, challenging, and even the happy times. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable space for you as well as make you feel supported. I work with children of all ages, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have experience helping those who suffer from Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, grief, ADHD, autism, Self-esteem/body issues, and much more. I look forward to meeting with you. Remember you are not alone, we will get through this together!

I work with young adults experiencing anxiety & self-doubt as they navigate dating, marriage, and career in their modern-day lives. If you feel overwhelmed juggling the various demands & expectations that both you, yourself & society have placed on you, therapy may help guide you on a path towards authenticity, self-actualization, & inner peace. Through direct feedback & radical acceptance towards all parts of you, I help you free yourself from the exhausting anxiety cycle & uncover the answers I believe lie within you.

Connecting with your therapist is one of the important parts about therapy and for this reason I offer a 15 min free consultation where you will have an opportunity to meet me and determine if I am a good fit for you. I enjoy helping people through their process and have a lot of experience working specifically with depression, anxiety and trauma diagnoses.

If you're reading this, you're searching for something. You could be in intense crisis or have a desire for personal growth. Do you need the nonjudgmental, listening ear of someone outside of your everyday life? Maybe you want relief from depression and/or anxiety. Perhaps you have recently been through a difficult life event or significant loss? Maybe you are simply trying to navigate a developmental transition. Are you struggling with relationships? Are you feeling alone and isolated? Therapy can be intense and uncomfortable. At the same time it's incredibly validating, rewarding, and life saving/changing if you put in the work.

My name is Jeanette Shin, LCSW - I believe we are capable of healing ourselves and can develop the ability to find self-compassion and the potential to thrive. I have worked mostly with adults, especially older adults, and feel able to work with clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, aging, grief, and bereavement. I approach clients on a mindfulness and client centered focus, with elements of CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and spirituality as needed.

My clients are anxious, depressed, people-pleasing, angry, or have had small or big traumas. Life has a way of dishing these out. If any of these sounds like you, then come for one session, and see if you would like to stick around for more. I use Eclectic (means the approach best for you) and Holistic (the entirety of you) approaches to assist you in getting back to where you would like to be, as quickly as possible. Life is too short to take too long to heal, to reduce symptoms, to learn new ways to live life. I use EMDR as a way to help unstick the things that stuck in you, and seem to hold you back. Ready, set, go....
