I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked 20+ years with children and adults who have experienced mental health challenges. My approach is simple: Meet people where they are at from a compassionate, non-judgmental, and honest perspective. I use a collection of therapeutic techniques specific to the needs of the person, and my underlying philosophy is to facilitate conversations that evoke critical thinking so that people can master the skills necessary to resolve their own issues.

Hello, my name is Tina Williams and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, based in Southern California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with families, couples, children, and individuals, to strengthen their relationships hoping to help them find a healthy perception of themselves, to be peaceful, whole, complete, and safe. I'm most comfortable working with clients that are struggling with depression, anxiety, low-self esteem, and intrusive thoughts. I value cognitive behavioral therapy and person-centered therapy, though there is no single approach that is the right one for every individual.

Struggling with addiction & feel rehab isn’t an option? Want to adjust your relationship with a substance instead of being told you must quit? Leaving your family, job, school or responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy & on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard-feelings of anxiety, guilt, & shame. You may have tried cutting back or stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

My name is Judith Riley and I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT 42471). I have been practicing for 20 years with all populations and ages, with the exception of children, 0-5. I think that most people who seek help are discouraged and don't know the best way to resolve, change, or accept the issues they face. Most of my clients have been considered to be in the moderate to severe range of mental health issues, due to the MH system in which I have been working for 20 years. I cannot think of a population I would not be comfortable treating, since our population has been quite varied and on a wide spectrum.

I provide holistic psychotherapy to help my clients create a more joyful and fulfilling life for themselves. I work well with a wide variety of psychoemotional problems. These include anxiety, depression, psychosis, and addictions. Relationship difficulties are a specialty of mine and I take a lot of joy in helping people improve their relationship life. My approach is different than most therapy and psychiatry in that it's not just about reducing symptoms, it's about each person's unique prescription for happiness.

I have always been fascinated with how our family system shapes us. So as your therapist, I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy mixed with your family history (i.e. who raised you, what it was like growing up, etc.) to help you understand how and why you show up the way you do with yourself and in your relationships. Many of our patterns and habits are shaped by how we grew up so when we take a deeper look at this, we can understand why we are the way we are.

Depression. Anxiety. Relationship and career problems. These very real difficulties of living represent potent opportunities for growth and transformation. In reality, this is not always easy to see. A key step is developing insight, combined with a willingness to accept increasing levels of personal responsibility. As a therapist and coach, my orientation is holistic. I incorporate a whole-person approach that emphasizes physical, mental, emotional, and interpersonal factors. I view human experience as an inherently creative process, and work to empower clients to harness their innate potential to create meaningful and fulfilling lives through committed action based on personal values.

We live in a complicated world!
Maybe you are seeking tools to manage a temporary challenge...or perhaps are coping with issues that have persisted for some time. No matter the obstacle, we all have the capability to problem solve. However many of us feel unprepared, alone and overwhelmed when facing emotional burdens. That's where it really helps to have a professional available to guide and support us.

Finding the right support can be challenging. Whether it's changing a compulsive behavior, recovering from a relationship that ended, going off to college, getting married, or finding the pathway to greater self-awareness, I enjoy helping those in times of transition to find the tools they need to make it happen.

The ideal client is someone who comes to therapy with a willingness to work on his/her issues. I am experienced in child, adolescent, family and individual. It is possible that you've been to therapists and counselors in the past, and you've been disappointed by the lack of concern and care. It is my firm belief that no one deserves to endure the pain of psychological affliction, especially when real help is available. I do everything within my means to ensure my clients' success, and if you happen to be struggling, I want to extend the same help to you.
