Hoarding Therapists in Huntington Beach, CA

Life is surprising, and all of us encounter various struggles along the way. It is brave to seek help in the midst of those struggles, and though it can be difficult to know who to trust when we are in need, professional counselors can be an extraordinarily beneficial resource. It is my greatest honor in life to be a counselor, and to walk alongside those courageous souls who acknowledge that they want change, and to assist them in creating the lives they deserve.

Hello, my name is Sydney Haynes, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I tend to take an integrative approach to therapy which means I take elements from different therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to your individual needs. I work with most client populations and have a broad area of practice. I want to work with you to find out what you need to live your best life, let's start this journey together!

My theoretical approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Theory and many successful techniques (humanistic, strategic, psychodynamic, and solution focused), which allows me to personally tailor your therapy session based upon your unique needs in an eclectic and integrated approach to therapy. Therapist flexibility is a valuable tool in helping my clients gain a balanced perspective on the life issues they are facing. I view therapy as a collaborative, sharing experience and seek to help my clients feel safe, comfortable, and truly understood.

Anchor Yourself to Wellness with a therapist who is solution focused. “Life’s roughest storms prove the strength of our anchors.” I use humor combined with evidenced based practices to identify strengths and help you prove the strength of your anchor. I am an 'anxiety ninja' who utilizes Cognitive Behavior Therapy techniques. I have written and published two anxiety workbooks for teens, that often adults tell me they love as well. It is my goal to support the development of tangible and adaptive skills for you to handle the waves in your life.

Frustrated with your: relationship? sex life? child? I am trained in 2nd level, Gottman Method, a specialty that started with couples. John Gottman, the author of, "7 Principles of Marriage," is known for predicting divorce with 90% accuracy, has been influential over my career. The Gottman Method has transformed my practice to focusing on couples, parenting, and children. If you're looking for guidance through a challenging situation with your children, partner or anyone else, I look forward to working with you to accomplish your goals.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

I've been a practicing clinician for over 40-years and continue to find my work both exciting and challenging. I offer a comfortable space for clients to reflect on themselves and learn new ways of living and working towards health and personal progress. We will work collaboratively to assure the right pace, methods and progress are achieved. I work effectively with individuals, couples, families and groups. I am at ease with most people regardless of gender, age, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation as well other unique factors you bring to the session.

Troubled by thoughts, emotions, relationships, career? Ready for change, progress, growth? It is my hope that my clients learn to notice and understand that therapy is a place for growth, change and healing during life's challenges. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy combining cognitive, behavioral and mindfulness strategies. My approach can help you find new ways of experiencing life in your daily routine/relationships and approaching life's challenges more productively. I help clients create practical solutions and new patterns to assist in achieving their goals, improving their relationships and balancing their lives.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship should be a collaborative one. Together, we will work on the issues that may be holding you back from living a more fulfilling life. I use a compassionate, empathetic, and nonjudgmental approach in which I seek to understand you and your life experiences. My graduate school training in art therapy confirmed my belief in the healing power of creativity. I work for several telehealth platforms, including Foresight Mental Health (1-888-588-8995), Path Mental Health, and Advances in Mental Health (based in Long Beach, California (562-365-2020).

There is a solution. There is hope. And there is healing. Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, disruption in relationships, substance abuse, and on and on. These are curable, changeable, healable issues. When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any moment in our lives that we were unsafe in some way. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we aren't able to process it, we store it.

Accepting new clients in person and via video. I offer a welcoming, supportive space for you to gain insights and practical skills to enhance your well-being. Deep-seated beliefs can often limit us and the stress of modern life can overwhelm our systems. I can help you create a personalized plan to feel differently about yourself, achieve your goals, and find more ease and calmness in your life. Our body can get into a state where it is dysregulated both physically and psychologically. We can learn to self-regulate and experience greater tranquility, joy, and happiness, while managing sadness, anger, and anxiety more effectively.

My usual clients are young adults, under 45 years age,(I do see children and elders), experiencing mood disorders such as depression, or anxiety. Substance abuse issues are frequently involved, or alcohol abuse. There are always relationship issues with others involved as well. The Goals of Therapy include feeling happier, calmer, more at peace, to reducing substance abuse and alcohol abuse. They want to learn how to improve their relationships with themselves and others.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients and strongly believe that as a therapist my job is to be the fellow traveler of those that seek the road of recovery of whatever their challenges might be. I have great respect for those individuals that seek to overcome life challenges that impair their lives and have the determination to reach out for help. I am also a Christian Pastor, who clearly predicates inclusiveness and love without any trace of judgement, welcoming all and embracing diversity.

Perhaps you are visiting today to obtain answers to confusion, peace in the torment, clarity from the chaos, healing from the pain. Maybe you just want someone to understand your pain. You might be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or hopeless. Whatever your reasoning may be, I am dedicated to help you achieve hope and healing. Thank you for taking the first step to work toward your personal healing journey. I am passionate about understanding, accepting, and empathyzing with my clients. I approach therapy holistically, which encompasses spirit, body, and mind.

Family relationships aren't easy, especially with adolescents or spouses. I have more than 7 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults by helping them improve their relationship with their parents, friends, and those that surround them. I also help them with individual issues such as ADHD, depression, and trauma. Sometimes we feel lonely or desperate and hesitate to ask for help. Take the first step towards a better quality of life and get help. Call, text or e-mail me.
