We can figure this out. If you’re feeling tired, fearful, and disconnected, and your current way of living isn’t working, my approach to therapy will help. A lot of our suffering comes from hard to control, negative thoughts about ourselves and the world that got ingrained in us as we grew up. Often, we don’t even notice what’s keeping us trapped, and it’s tough to know exactly what to do to get out of a rut.

As you think, so you become ...Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there. (Arrian). My approach is one that helps you to calm your busy mind and create space to reconsider and recreate yourself. Our thoughts and feelings can both help and hinder us in presenting our best and authentic self. Are yours serving you? You are not anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. You are not your past trauma and your current confusion. I would like to work with you on creating the life that brings you happiness, peace and joy.

Life is already quite difficult without that added everyday stressors that we encounter along the way. It can make us feel alone, defeated, hopeless, scared, and worried about our futures and our loved ones. When someone feels this way, it's hard to reach out for support. Maybe it's because we don't want to feel like being a burden to others, or because we don't want people to know our personal struggles. In reality, our life struggles are much more commonly shared than we actually realize. Most of us just want to be content in life. You are not alone! I understand, and together we will get you where you want to be in life.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the next step. As we all know, life brings us different experiences and stressors. Such stressors can affect how we function at work, school, within our relationships and within our selves. Allow me to work with you during this time of difficulty. My therapeutic style is tailored to the individual and their strengths while using the following approaches: strength based, solution focus, and mindfulness. I truly believe that with the right coaching, processing and guidance, we are able to overcome many of our life stressors.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience, and I love what I do. I recognize the privilege of walking alongside my clients and helping them on their path, as they face life's challenges. We are all more alike than we realize. I enjoy working with individuals at all stages of adult development, with a special affinity for working with adults going through life transitions, particularly young adults and college-age students. I also have a subspecialty in Clinical Neuropsychology and work with individuals with learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders.

People come to the crossroads of seeking mental health treatment for many different reasons and with many different paths. I would like to meet you on that path and help you through it. I have over 30 years experience in counseling and therapy with 20 years working in addictions, dual diagnosis, inpatient mental health with persistent mental illness and outpatient with individuals and couples for both the Veterans Administration and as adjunct faculty at Loma Linda University Department of Psychiatry. I also do psychological assessment for diagnosis clarification and treatment planning. Visit our website www.drscottwenger.com.

Making the decision to call a therapist is scary for most of us. It is usually at a time when we feel vulnerable or things have reached a crisis point. I can help give you objective feedback so that you can understand and make sense of your thoughts and feelings. In therapy you will learn new coping skills that you can use, not just in this incident, but in future ones. You don't have to be alone as you try and figure things out. I believe I can help.

People come to a point of change from a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives. I work best with those who have recognized that what they are currently doing is not making them happy - and who have a real commitment to finding ways to alter their present situation. My counseling style is both interactive and supportive.

I believe that their is healing and growth that comes from fostering a space for other’s to share their life story. In facilitating this process, I will help you process life's events, discover your strengths and areas to improve, and support you in crossing the bridge to your next level. While I am qualified to work with a range of issues, I especially enjoy working with parents, children, youth and couples by supporting their development, facilitating their personal autonomy, and helping them navigate through challenging times.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, wondering why you have strong reactions to small stressors or during interactions with others. Life doesn't wait for us to resolve each bad experience/trauma in life, they build up over time and leave us feeling hopeless, alone and disconnected from others. Our past traumas, if unresolved, can impact us negatively with how we interact with others. For the last 19 years, I have helped individuals from all walks of life overcome issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, traumas, and work/school stressors.

Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed? Uncertain how to move forward? Coping with a chronic illness? Struggling with a loss in your life? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Humaning is hard, therapy should not be. When we begin to understand ourselves better, life becomes much easier to journey through. We start to choose how we want to live instead of reacting to what life brings us. I am passionate about helping my clients find a solid sense of self, while staying emotionally connected with others. I strive to create a safe, genuine, supportive, and compassionate environment in which a lasting positive change can be made.

In the last psychotherapy session I had with a client who suffered from an eating disorder that I had worked with for three years I asked her why she chose me. She had interviewed seven other psychotherapists before making a decision. "It was George," she replied. George is my black lab mix with winsome eyes and a loving spirit. Her answer surprised me. But what it illustrates is the complexity of therapy and the mystery of what sustains the healing process. Digging inside through dreams as a way of connecting with the unconscious is another pathway to healing. B

I provide services at Women Rise Psychological and Wellness Center in the Claremont Village and online to CA state residents. I have a passion for helping women and dedicate my efforts to having my clients feel a sense of belonging, acceptance, understanding, and recognition as they continue on their journey of life while working on processing, healing, and becoming evolved. I believe therapy is a safe place to explore and navigate what needs to change in order to help you RISE: finding healing and gaining a deeper sense of understanding, acceptance, connection, and life fulfillment.

Searching for a therapist is a vulnerable decision. Often, we don’t know what causes feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger, & disconnection from our lives & our loved ones. My therapeutic style is grounded in process-based Gestalt therapy, with a focus on creating an emotionally safe environment to decrease internal shame & explore life concerns/struggles. My specialties include trauma, PTSD, & abuse (i.e., emotional, parental, religious, narcissistic, toxic relationships/marriages, high-control environments & betrayal). I work with attachment injuries, perfectionism, codependency, self-esteem, identity exploration & boundary setting.

I enjoy working with folks addressing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, challenges associated with life transitions, and couples who are working on communication or recovering from infidelity and other relationship challenges. We'll work to find clarity, and to remove the obstacles standing between you and living the life that you want.
