Adults Therapists in Costa Mesa, CA

Are you struggling in relationships or individually? Do you feel that your connections with other people can be better? Do you have a spouse, children, extended family or friends that you feel that you can have a better relationship with? Let me explore ways in which I can help you improve your relationships with others. I support individuals to identify what they want out of life, gain a clear picture, and develop a strategy to attain the desired results. My specialty is working with cultural humility, mood disorders, life changes, adults, mixed race family, adults with substance use issues, children and adults with young children.

It is a true honor to be able to provide a warm and safe space for healing. In therapy, we work collaboratively to discover whatever you may be facing and find transformation through identifying thoughts and behavior patterns that may be interrupting access to your essential self. Together we will disentangle from old patterns and invite healthier choices through authentic connection to get closer to what lies beneath the surface.

Hi there, I am Veronica Gonzalez, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I believe therapy can help to resolve a crisis or major life changes. I offer collaborative, compassionate and strengths based therapy. Therapy is an opportunity to step out of life's stress, into a space you can be supported and learn skills for managing stress and problem solving. I typically work with adults to create a safe, trauma informed environment filled with acceptance and respect.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has worked with Amen Clinics for nearly ten years. After completing my Bachelor’s degree in psychology at Chapman University, I decided to change careers and pursue a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. Working for the clinic has provided an extraordinary learning environment and allowed me to benefit from collaboration with amazing clinicians who share my passion to help others.

I am an ATR-BC and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been licensed for over 5 years and have practiced mostly in California and via telehealth. I have experience working in schools, hospitals, outpatient/ inpatient, residential crisis programs, and fieldwork with many different cultures, seeing adults, children, and families struggling with, mental illness, grief and loss, serious medical/ psychiatric issues, trauma, death/dying, dementia/ Alzheimer’s, personality disorders, and a variety of other issues.

I trust in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship through acceptance & attunement.. which means I want to know your WORLD. Tell me about your favorite things/interests/etc! I aspire to provide a space in which we can be authentic, explore together, and even have fun! I aim to bring enthusiasm, warmth, empathy, (& humor!) into the room, while also working hard to make the changes needed for you to live your best life. We'll find tools that help you move with the emotions, not against them. I want to know YOU so I can better understand your strengths AND your challenges. That means parents, I might want to know you too! :)

Hello, I'm Lita Cienega-Saldana, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California. I offer therapeutic services to individuals and families seeking additional support in connecting with their inner selves and leading more independent and fulfilling lives. With nearly 6 years of experience in the mental health field, I am enthusiastic about guiding and assisting individuals on their therapeutic journey. Outside of my professional life, I cherish spending time with my family, which includes my husband and two teenage girls.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or defeated in a relationship with your partner or kids, call me at 949-536-9941 and we can set up 15 minutes to talk about your concerns. We all face challenging times throughout the family life cycle, whether it is marriage, divorce, raising kids or empty nesting. I am passionate about helping my clients embrace their unique family situation and learn tools to navigate relationship challenges.

I am Naomi Babcock LCSW, owner of the group practice Inner Wisdom Psychotherapy Associates, INC. and I consider my work to be a collaborative process to help adolescents and adults find the most effective ways to cope with emotional experiences that might arise as a result of various life situations or trauma. I have an extensive background in working with children and parenting concerns.

I always knew I wanted to join the mental health field in order to destigmatize mental health conditions, advance social justice, and promote open and honest conversations about mental illness. My personal and professional experiences have cultivated my passion in both micro and macro work in the mental health field. I value working with adults who may be facing mental health challenges such as OCD, anxiety, and depression. I primarily use ERP and CBT treatment methods but also pull from other therapeutic modalities.

Hello! My name is Mitch Pohl, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Garden Grove and working with clients throughout California via telehealth. I work primarily with adults (18+), and have a broad background of experience working in community mental health, hospital outpatient, and private practice settings to help my clients learn to both cope and thrive no matter what struggles and stressors they are currently encountering.

As an Associate Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults and families struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. Anxiety, depression and traumatic experiences can make us feel stuck in an unrelenting mental loop. Not only can traumatic experiences create anxiety and depression- but left untreated, trauma can manifest in different parts of the body.

I am a licensed psychologist in the state of California with over seven years of clinical experience. I've worked with adults, older adults, college students, and engineers. My experience in multiple mental health settings, from community mental health, urban hospital centers, medical offices, and a federal government agency have helped me to gain the knowledge and skills to work with people from diverse backgrounds and needs.

I have been very effective in helping people find relief from anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as improving the quality of their life and relationships. I provide a thorough assessment followed by a collaboratively developed treatment plan to effectively address your individual situation. My Goal is to treat you as a whole person - biological, psychological, relational and spiritual. Often talk therapy alone will not be as effective as it could be when combined with appropriate adjunctive treatment(s) and I will refer you to the appropriate specialist(s) or resources when needed.

I work with children, teenagers, and adults, and I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQ, Disabled, and Neurodivergent individuals of all ages. I am here to create an empathetic and supportive space to assist clients in exploring a range of mental health concerns effectively, including depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, ADHD, Autism, self-harm, suicidal ideation, trauma and PTSD.

For individuals challenged with developing motivation, it is beneficial to strengthen clarity, drive, and accountability. In today’s environment, the list of reasons for not moving forward with personal goals seems endless, and often times justifiable. Suggestion provided by others often times result in feelings of rejection. Conversely, the ability to reframe personal thoughts, feelings, and concerns into relevant goals results in stimulation and even excitement.

My name is Shawn Hackett. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 18-plus years of experience providing mental health services. My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help you solve current problems and longstanding patterns. With empathy and compassion, I will help you find solutions and effective coping skills. I work with adults ages 18 and older. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma.

I work exclusively with clients who are job hunting or making a career change. This can be overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure where your skills fit into the market. I have worked with traditional and non-traditional college students, adults seeking new jobs and careers, and transitioning veterans. My background as a career counselor and recruitment professional makes me uniquely qualified to help you find your dream job. Over the course of my career, I have developed a proprietary process to guide my clients to discover transferable skills and then narrow down industries and verticals that utilize those skills.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, longing for freedom and healing? You are not alone. I bring an integrative, compassionate approach to therapy, empowering clients journeying through life’s challenges, like trauma, abuse, and anxiety. My ideal client would be open and willing to work on healing, dedicated to the process of change. This may include individuals or families with relational or faith-based-issues, identity, acculturation challenges, diverse backgrounds and needs. I work with a variety of individuals from single parents, retired adults, college students, health/helping fields, foster families, musicians, & ministry/pastoral.
