Therapists in Granada Hills, CA

Are you looking for a local therapist who specializes in children and teens? Does your son or daughter seem anxious, sad/depressed or withdrawn? Has your child been struggling in school or with social relationships? I would love to help. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and families. I believe that effective therapy is based on a trusting relationship that empowers and makes space for positive change. My experience includes academic/school problems, behavioral issues, anxiety/depression, grief and loss, and social skills deficits. My approach is strength-based and non-pathologizing while highlighting your child's natural assets.

Looking for someone to help you get relief from life's stressors? When you are feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day conflicts or long-term struggles that disrupt your sense of self-confidence or direction, you do not have to face these alone. Make the call and have a conversation about what you need and what is possible in your life. Finding a compassionate clinician who will help you process and cope with core issues that seep into your relationships and existence is the next step toward regaining your life balance.

Feeling overwhelmed? Are you struggling to change? Do you know in your mind what you need to do but can't seem to change your pattern? Are you struggling to focus, stay present, or be productive? Maybe little things feel more frustrating, tense, or stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is to listen without judgment, help you understand the root causes of your issues, and teach you practical tools to change your life.

Hello! My name is Jenn Torres Duran (she/they) and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I believe strongly in the innate natural talents we each hold and am ready to help stand with my clients to achieve the goals and ambitions held for their present and future. I utilize many different modalities (SFBT, CBT, EFT, EMDR, and ACT to name a few), depending on what my clients need in order to co-create tools and brainstorm ideas to face intergenerational traumas, depression, anxiety, and more!

Does your daily life feel like a perpetual "hamster wheel" leaving you feeling helpless, confused and stuck? I know life can be difficult, and it’s not always easy to show up for yourself. You might feel pulled in multiple directions, each task or responsibility vying for your attention. Maybe you’re struggling with burnout, impostor syndrome or low self esteem. Let's work together to go beyond symptom reduction or simply “fixing” the problem. Our work will allow you to explore and identify patterns and/or experiences in your life that are keeping you stuck and lead you toward a path of healing, growth, and change.

I typically work with adults dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, stress management and life transitions. I am experienced in working with clients from diverse backgrounds and have a special interest in providing culturally competent therapy.

I work with individuals struggling with sadness, anxiety, self-doubt, self-worth, shame, boundary-setting, self-acceptance, and feeling not good enough. I utilize a systematic approach to help clients build daily coping skills and understand the underlying reasons for their struggles. With greater insight and awareness, clients are able to find their truest voice and build a life that echoes their best self. I also work with couples looking to cultivate healthy communication skills, a richer relational experience, a revived vibrancy. I commonly work with life transitions, parenting questions, and identity conflicts.

I want you to imagine that it's very possible that what you are going through right now can be managed and that you will overcome this struggle. It's not easy going through difficulties without seeking professional help and at times we may look for guidance from friends and loved ones and other times we need someone else to step in and guide us. Throughout the past 10 years, I have worked with individuals, children, adolescents and couples struggling from a vast variety of issues such as difficulties with social skills, depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma and relationship issues.

You have taken the first step in your healing process which is awareness that you want to make a change in your life. Because only YOU have the power to create the life that feels peaceful, rewarding and meaningful to you. I applaud you for your courage to seek help. It is a privilege for me to work with you and to guide you in your journey. In 25+ years of my practice, I have experienced some of the most powerful changes that take place in the psychotherapeutic process. I believe everyone has the inner capacity to better themselves.

Facing life challenges can be difficult and overly stressful at times. These difficulties can affect all aspects of one's life causing emotional, social, vocational and relational problems. Day to day functioning may also be impacted resulting in more stress and struggles. Suffering from emotional distress and mental anguish can be just as painful as any physical ailment.

Life is an unpredictable rollercoaster and everyone can need a little help trying to figure out how to manage that rollercoaster. My aim is to support you in finding a way to draw on your strengths and make the changes you need to make your life whole again. I use a wholistic approach to tackle the various barriers that impact life for instance: financial stress, relationship problems, work issues, family dynamics, insecurities, loneliness, and overall stress.
