Male Therapists in Carlsbad, CA

Your life journey may take you to places and stages that issue challenges you might find overwhelming and expose you to painful experiences that leave you with deep scars and lingering hurt. But you are not alone. Facing feelings of frustration, pain, or a lack of direction, you might have a hard time accessing your inherent resources and finding hope for the future. And I am here to help you do just that.

I help individuals and couples understand and overcome barriers that get in the way of living a meaningful and fulfilling life; this can include professional, emotional, or interpersonal challenges. My approach draws on narrative and cognitive based principles, that value the understanding of how our experiences, self-awareness, and relationships impact how we cope with life. I believe the process of therapy is one that encourages collaboration and curiosity, and in doing so creates a hospitable environment to explore a variety of life experiences and achieve a healthy life balance.

I use a humanistic, client-centered approach to really listen and understand what is going on in the lives of each of my clients. Clients may present with depression, anxiety, addictions or anger issues. Any of these may stem from a variety of stressors; difficulties at work, or issues with friends or family. As we mature, we need to play new roles in life; as an employee or manager, as a spouse, becoming a parent, children leaving home, divorcing, parents aging or, as our children have families of their own, learning yet another role to play.

It is my belief that all individuals innately have the capability to enact the changes they would like to see in their lives. Yet too often in my work have outside forces taken a strong hold on the individuals locus of control. My role is to support my client with providing perspective and encouragement, in order to understand how to go about that enactment. Every person has the ability to rise to their challenges. At first it might not seem so because of whatever internal and/or external barriers they have encountered however I firmly believe each client is the hero of their own story and they will overcome their challenges.

I strive to help individuals and couples work toward goals that are meaningful to them. This might include improving an important relationship, healing from a difficult past experience, managing feelings of depression or loss, or coping more effectively with a stressful situation. I work alongside each client to help them gain insight and clarity into their areas of concern. My aim is to empower clients to make changes that are consistent with their values. I draw from my training and expertise in a variety of well-established treatments to meet the specific needs of each individual and couple that I work with.

I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist and have been in practice for over 17 years. I specialize in diagnosis of disorders that impact learning such as ADHD, Auditory and Visual Processing Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and social/emotional difficulties (Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Motivation). If your or your child is frustrated, has difficulty following directions, or has challenges with peers it may be due to an underlying issue and I will work to shed light on and resolve those issues. Through assessment you or your child can be relieved of frustrations and find success at school or in the workplace.

Therapy is an opportunity to resolve and recover from life’s most difficult experiences. The therapeutic process can help you align your emotions and behaviors with the balance you seek in your life. Whether you regularly witness traumatic scenes or situations, have been exposed to a single traumatic event, or are struggling with the long-term effects of an earlier trauma, I can equip you with the practical tools to enhance your overall recovery and increase your quality of life. Treatment can help improve sleep, concentration, intimacy, family connection, and overall feelings of safety.

I work with clients who value making an investment in themselves and their personal/professional development. If you're an entrepreneur, executive, manager, athlete, or past athlete--maybe a combination of two or three!--there is a lot I can show you! Better concentration, greater confidence, ability to focus on the task, stress/anxiety/attentional control strategies, more positive thoughts and imagery, more determination. We will also work on effective goal-setting strategies (beyond SMART goals), managing distractions, managing triggers, and true leadership development. There isn't enough room to type all of the work we can do!

Struggling with addiction & feel rehab isn’t an option? Want to adjust your relationship with a substance instead of being told you must quit? Leaving your family, job, school or responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy & on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard...feelings of anxiety, guilt, & shame. You may have tried cutting back or stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful pattern. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

Taking the plunge and getting into therapy is the first step in trying to change the direction of your life. If you are struggling with life decisions, or recently gone through some difficult life changes and are challenged by anxiety, depression, motivation, self-esteem, or religious paradigm changes, you are not alone.

Greetings! I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services. My background is in treating youth, young adults, and families. I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with an emphasis on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I offer virtual-based sessions but primarily work in the office. Assessment services (psychological testing, psychological evaluation) is also a major focus of mine. I specialize in assessment of autism, ADHD, and academics, as well as general psychodiagnostic assessment (clarifying diagnoses) in kids and adults (6 years and older).

How do you handle anxiety? Do you need support and have a hard time asking for help? We often isolate, hide our emotions, disappear into gaming, work, social media, substances, have destructive relationships, and often while putting others before ourselves. Holding in these stresses and trying to "fix it" alone can weigh on your mind, and it can come out in ways that make your life difficult and unenjoyable. I can provide a space where we focus on you, and we ask where are things challenging for you, and how can things be better?

Hello. My name is Mark. I am a gay, disabled therapist (licensed clinical social worker, LCSW). I believe that we all have the strengths to overcome or cope with the challenges we face, we might just need a little support. I work with a wide range of clients, but I have a passion for those with disabilities, those with foster care experience, and those in the LGBTQI community. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. While in session with me you can expect a direct and empathetic approach.

I work from a reality-based, solution-focused orientation that allows my clients the ability to resolve problems thoroughly and effectively. While I may use a variety of techniques or interventions, depending on the needs of my clients, I tend to work from both cognitive/behavioral and family systems orientations.

Seeking help can be a vulnerable and overwhelming experience for many people, and it is courageous to take those steps forward. I tailor our sessions to your unique needs, working collaboratively to foster insight and promote positive change and self growth. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, we will work together to develop strategies to effectively reach your goals. Our therapeutic relationship is built on trust, empathy, and non-judgment, providing you with a nurturing environment to explore your thoughts and emotions.
