I'm passionate about being a therapist and believe that the therapeutic process is instrumental in helping clients address and navigate difficult life experiences. Through a collaborative, strengths-based approach, clients identify places where they feel stuck and learn and practice skills that support their therapy goals. I believe in making therapy both accessible and enjoyable so that clients walk away with an understanding of the challenges they face and a readiness to embrace a more fulfilled life.

The people in your life see this strong and positive side of you, but on the inside you're feeling lost, confused, isolated, and like you don't know how much longer you can keep up this façade before the suffering starts to leak out and you lose complete control. Most clients with whom I work are struggling with depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain and disability, general stress, and/or trauma/PTSD, problems which often come to the forefront following recent relational, work, and life stressors. I'm here to help you find your truth and commit to the meaningful journey of reaching your most empowered and authentic self.

Sometimes, I ask questions to help you reach your answers, and, other times, I challenge you and frequently give assignments to help you further work through what’s bothering you. Things I have heard repeatedly from clients is that they appreciate my down-to-earth, empathetic yet sometimes humorous approach. Clients consistently say that they appreciate the way I listen and genuinely care. I’m kinda like a wise teacher, nurturer, wisecracking, and sarcastic all rolled into one. I have also been described as a motivational coach and encouraging cheerleader. Most importantly, I like to think of myself as a fellow traveler.

A main focus of my therapy is joining clients in what they are going through. Therapeutic workbooks are great, but there is a big difference between opening up to a workbook versus opening up to a human being. When we open up to another person we make ourselves vulnerable. That is when true growth begins. I set out to try and help people deal with the core issues, as well as enhance their core strengths. When there is a recovery in the core, the symptoms can be dealt with. Our problematic situations and behaviors are but a symptom. Website: jeremyharveymftcom

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.

I am a therapist for therapists specializing in complex trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm, substance use, and existential anxiety. As a mental health professional, you may present as successful, but you might feel ashamed or unsettled in life. You might also experience fears about your capacity to help clients or manage your emotional well-being. You probably "know" the right coping skills and "have the insight," but you're seeking deeper introspection and hoping to resolve deep inner conflicts. You're also open to engaging in a meaningful relationship where you can explore some of the more tender issues in life.

I would describe my style as creative, contemplative, and collaborative. My clients initially come to me for answers, but they eventually realize that the truth lies deep inside of them. My joy is watching my clients tapping into their inner wisdom and cultivating their skills to live meaningful lives. While science is the backbone of my practice, I see psychotherapy as an art form and a sacred practice that draws upon one's deeply held values and cultural & indigenous resources.

I have been working as a therapist in Southern California for eight years. I have worked with a variety of cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses. Most of my experience has been working with the Hispanic/Latin American population. Previously I have worked with victims of violent crimes, childhood trauma, and stress caused by transitions in life. Therefore I have experience working with dyads such as parent-child and couples. Also, I have worked with adolescents and children.

My approach is goal-oriented and solution-focused, and I believe that a collaborative approach works best for those seeking guidance for a better balanced, more fulfilling life. My approach to therapy is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps change negative thought patterns, and Interpersonal Therapy, which helps clients discover patterns in their life that have kept them from realizing their full potential.
