Video Game Addiction Therapists in Century City, CA

Are you Autistic or ADHD? I support self-identified and professionally assessed neurodivergent teens and adults. My clients need help with executive functioning, anxiety, and letting go of shame and self-doubt. I am a neurodivergent-affirming psychologist and emphasize building a loving relationship with one's self. Many of my clients have dealt with a history of invalidation, a lack of proper support, or are seeking specialized help. Often I see neurodivergent folks who have seen previous providers that have been unable to help them find wellness.

I believe that therapy can help people overcome challenges and heal from wounds, both old and new. I will use a variety of approaches to best fit your individual needs. Together, we can uncover your hidden strengths, overcome obstacles, and find your unlimited potential. I will help you gain insight into your current and past relationships and change repeating patterns and behaviors. I am committed to creating a safe environment where you can explore ways to shift and create change, and take charge of your life. Healing the past will allow you to move forward

Every phase of life brings a new challenge, whether our own or of someone we care about. Sometimes, we need a little extra help to successfully get through yet another phase. Those are the times to seek therapy. I would like to empower you to help yourself by taking that step to improve your and possibly your loved one's quality of life. As a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a professional woman, I have an intricate ability to understand the struggles that one might face in life as we transition in and out of each of these roles, daily.

I see children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy who are struggling with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life cycle challenges, and trauma. At times the way people try to cope with and manage their past or present difficulties create additional barriers to feeling good, and fulfilling their hopes and goals. As a conscientious, professional, and compassionate clinician, I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship in which together we can think about, understand and help you work through those feelings and thoughts that are troubling, confusing and worrisome, and are perhaps getting in your way.

As the global pandemic has shown us, sometimes life becomes overwhelming and uncontrollable. During these times it may be best to talk with someone outside of your community of family, friends or co-workers. A warm hearted professional to lend a moment of support and guidance. I share with clients in deciding how best to approach the issues, with the intent of addressing both the current distressing symptoms and long-standing patterns of behavior that are getting in the way of a thriving life. My practice is telehealth-based, and I accept direct pay (some prefer for privacy) as well as most PPO plans as an Out of Network provider.

Asking for help, is a strength, not a weakness. Almost everyone experiences some sort of mental health struggle over a lifetime, because being human can sometimes be hard. While these moments can feel overwhelming, they are also an invitation to grow. I believe the therapeutic experience must be grounded within a foundation of compassion and collaboration. I value a client-centered, solution-focused and holistic approach when working with people and together we can expand awareness of the sources of ones challenges and move in the direction of desired changes and personal growth.

Whether you just completed residential treatment, or you’re in sober or transitional living, or you’re independently seeking a more intensive therapy experience, Revolve Recovery’s trauma-focused intensive outpatient program tailors it’s dynamic, comprehensive, and innovative approaches to effectively treat those dealing with trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, addiction, and the spectrum of co-occurring disorders.

My goal is to help people open up and discover new aspects of themselves. I believe that every person has a unique and interesting story. I work towards deconstructing problem-saturated narratives and thickening thin descriptions that lead to unhealthy thinking patterns and behaviors.

I help individuals and couples clarify and strengthen their relationship goals. Learning how to build more satisfying relationships leads to lasting change and empowerment. Old, less helpful ways of thinking are replaced with new, more realistic ideas of self-acceptance and how to rely on others. The result is a clearer picture of one's strengths, limitations, and belonging in the world.

We all face conflicts that at times become “too much.” When we feel overwhelmed there’s a natural tendency to want to restore balance in ourselves and our lives. Any conflict—in love, work, body image, physical symptoms—can lead to anxiety, shame and a sense of "going through the motions." Whether you’re dealing with current or long-standing difficulties, there are effective ways to understand and soften painful feelings. Life can be better when you open to new thinking, curb negativity and break repetitive cycles; you become kinder to yourself. You can find your own voice.

You want a balanced life; fulfilling career, romantic relationship, genuine friendships, family bonds, health, and fun. Maybe some areas of your life feel full, yet there is still something missing, thus creating this imbalance. This does not happen in a vacuum; it happens in relationship with oneself and others. Healing also happens in relationships, which starts with me and you. I am an expert in healthy relationships and career; helping to create space for more in your life without feeling overwhelmed. I will help you improve your life and find the relief you need in a world that can sometimes feel unrelenting.

My name is Gabe Veas, and I find joy in helping individuals, couples, and families pursue their mental health goals in a non-blaming and non-shaming manner. My primary work has assisted clients in exploring their identities by dynamically utilizing online coaching. I have incorporated photos, music, and art into the treatment to help clients deconstruct their narratives. I am committed to lifelong learning by holding membership with several professional groups, including the American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, which assists me in helping clients experience sexual health, freedom, and healing.

Relationships, work, and life, in general, can be tough. Being told, "it will get better" or "time will help", although well intended, doesn't help. Being able to connect with someone who listens, connects with you, is honest and direct about challenges in order to help you navigate through the process can help.
