Drug Abuse Therapists in Colfax, CA

Worried? Anxious? Blue? Feelings can be the result of your situation,or they can be triggered by deeper issues such as attachment, trauma, and unprocessed memories. EMDR "turbocharges" the processing of painful memories. Adults, teens, and children with a history of abuse, trauma, and loss can heal quickly. I also specialize in resolving relationship issues and helping families become stronger. Whether you need help to navigate life transitions or to realize your full potential for emotional growth, therapy is a highly interactive process. Together we develop a plan for treatment involving care and commitment. Feel better!

Each one of us has a unique story, and I am genuinely curious about yours. As an MFT intern, I specialize in helping tweens, teens, and young adults with various challenges, including life transitions and relationship issues. Having gone through the difficulties of immigration, I am dedicated to helping those adjusting to life in the U.S. Additionally, I am passionate about supporting clients experiencing a spiritual awakening and seeking greater meaning.

Besides individual sessions, couples work sessions and Group Work, I also train clinicians in awareness based somatic psychotherapy. I also, hold two types of weekly groups that are ongoing, although they are open to new people from time time. Check my website and youtube channel (Circle of Being Somatic Shadow Work) to understand more about my work and different modules I have available. Before booking sessions with me, please watch the video called 'Watch this video before booking 1:1 sessions with Mihai Intro to somatic therapy vs talk therapy' (cannot insert this video here but you can find on my above mentioned youtube channel)

We are defined by our stories. Working from a Narrative Therapy perspective helps me to support clients in a way that is unique and different from most traditional therapy perspectives. YOU are not the problem, the PROBLEM is the problem, and it may be time to develop new tools and skills to develop a different story for your life, one that you authored and can live by. Lets work together on helping you to develop the new story that will empower you to live the life you want!

I would be honored to help you in self-discovery and change. It takes a lot of courage to travel down that path. I often can intuit the key issues underlying a person’s suffering, which are often relational-both within ourselves and with others. To be kind and yet direct, and to really see you-both as you are now and how you want to become more whole. Finding clarity, compassion, and new ways to effectively deal with problems are essential in therapy. I will help you find where you are stuck and ways to get unstuck, by changing how you process both your thoughts and feelings. I work with both adults and couples.

Hello! I am now taking new in-person clients. If you are reading this, chances are you may be struggling with parenting, connecting with your partner or building meaningful relationships. Or perhaps you want to better understand your own individual mental health journey. We can often feel overwhelmed and unable to see our role in the problem. This tends to cause anxiety, depression, and can sometimes cause us to turn to substances to cope. Sometimes we just need a little guidance to get us to our goals.

I love seeing people grow and overcome obstacles that previously seemed insurmountable! I work with couples and adult individuals. You may seek help with your partner when you feel like you're stuck in a loop where the harder you try to work things out, the more you wind up hurting each other. You may come on your own if you've hit a rough patch and need help regaining your equilibrium. My job, as I see it, is to join you and help you unpack your thoughts and feelings with an eye toward building a brighter future.

You are struggling. Your life isn’t what you want it to be. We can help! We specialize in anxiety, depression, couples issues, addictions, sleep problems, concussion, ADD, and trauma. We are friendly and goal oriented. I have 25 years experience with adults, teens, and children. And, if you wish, we can also use Neurofeedback training. I taught Neurofeedback at San Francisco State University. This modality teaches you to change brainwave patterns that keep you from being your best. I’ve written three books, including a new one on enhancing brain function.

I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2004 and am currently serving as the Director of the Center for Transformational Therapy in Nevada City. I have developed a process called Awareness-Based Emotional Processing to help my clients expand their feeling capacity and establish emotional well-being individually and in relationship.

My approach to psychotherapy is trauma-informed, existential, experiential, and integrative, and I strive to build a healing relationship with clients based on trust, communication, support, and occasional challenge. I specialize in depth psychotherapy. I work well with individuals who are motivated, introspective and curious. I strive to assist clients in developing further insight into their own emotional states and thoughts and taking committed action in their lives to improve well-being and fulfillment. I consider psychotherapy my craft and was trained in a small doctoral program at Penn State focused on interpersonal process.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a significant step, especially when facing various challenges. If you're in California, I want you to know that I offer telehealth therapy, including evening appointments. As your therapist, my approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and cultural sensitivity. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. With my experience, I can assist you in setting meaningful goals for your therapy journey. I have experience with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds including LGBTQI and BIPOC. Your mental health is important & I care about your well being.

Hi! ****I'M NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**** Are you needing support and guidance through this challenging time right now? Are you looking to find peace and clarity? Could you use some help navigating a divorce or break-up? Are there parenting issues that need to be worked through? Is there a part of you that really needs some attention and counseling but is scared to reach out? Please call me directly for a free phone consultation. Let's see if we are a good fit...

My intention is to gently guide you towards your own innate wisdom and fully support you as your transformation unfolds. I prefer to take a direct, experiential approach, meeting each client where they are at and honoring their individual needs. I specialize in body-based (somatic) inquiry to address a variety of issues, with a specific interest in treating trauma, relationship issues, and addiction. My therapeutic approach is uniquely inspired from my own personal experience with healing, drawing from both ancient Eastern philosophy and modern research-based theories of attachment and developmental trauma.

PERSONAL STATEMENT Clear communication, taking risks and responsibility for one's actions and feelings, allow natural, self-healing resources to emerge from within us. Clients are encouraged to face fear and pain, live in the present moment, and not retreat into the past; thus, finding strength, courage and trust, leading to wholeness. A belief in a POWER, greater than our smaller selves, connects us to our healthier and truer SELF. This is a key factor in the healing process. We have experienced this greater SELF, often in times of great trial and/or great joy. It works!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with clients in a way that encourages personal responsibility, individual choice, and movement toward empowered ways of being. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, or generally stuck in some area of your life, therapy could offer the next step toward a more fulfilled way of living. I utilize a variety of approaches, including humanistic, trauma-informed, and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to offer a holistic psychotherapeutic experience. I work with individuals, couples, children, and families. My private practice is located in downtown Nevada City.
