Forensic Psychology Therapists in Chino Hills, CA

I provide a space where you can explore the various aspects of yourself and gain understanding of all the unique parts of our lives that are at play. One key role is making goals and ways to achieve them which can lead towards success. Making a hard decision is often anxiety producing and can cause strong emotional reactions. You may rationally know what the right answer is but are struggling with following through on it. You may even act in a manner that is not yourself at all. When we act in a way that is different than our values it can cause us to feel a whole bunch of different feelings that can be largely uncomfortable.

The Avery Centre has experienced and compassionate therapists ready to help children and adults suffering from trauma, grief, loss, and/or PTSD. After a crisis, loss, or trauma, each individual has their own way of grieving, and coping. Sadness, guilt, shock, anger, frustration, rage, and feelings of helplessness may occur. The healing process may begin with the passage of time and the support of loved ones; however, professional help may be needed for support during the initial shock of the situation and later on while experiencing different stages of the grief cycle. The Avery Centre was created to provide clients with support, guidance, understanding, and empathy during these most difficult times.

Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Empath. Do any of these words sound familiar to you? Have you ever felt or have been told that you are "too sensitive"? Maybe you have felt empathy for others on such a deep level that is hard to explain. You may feel as if you actually begin to take on the mental and emotional state of another and find yourself dealing with added anxiety, depression, and frustration. Those of us who are considered highly sensitive people tend to be more anxious and may have difficulty processing difficult or traumatic events.

Making a difficult Decision is often stressful and can produce strong emotional reactions. You may rationally know the right answer but cannot follow through in actions. You may even act in a manner that is contradictive to "the right answer" or inconsistent with whom you are. Simple awareness of this does not equal change. I provide a neutral setting where you can explore the various aspects of yourself and gain understanding of all the Dynamics involved. Making Goals as well as methods to achieve them is the road towards success.
