Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Inglewood, CA

The ideal client seeks self-actualization and improved self-relationships. They grapple with negative thoughts stemming from past experiences, hindering their growth. Their goal is to overcome these obstacles, forge their unique identity, and cultivate self-love. They yearn to break free from the shackles of self-doubt, embracing authenticity and inner harmony. By guiding them through trauma-focused CBT, Interpersonal Therapy and EMDR, I empower them to confront their past, reshape their narrative, and foster resilience. Ultimately, they aspire to lead fulfilling lives, grounded in self-acceptance and genuine connections.

Whether you know your exact triggers or are completely unaware of the source of your discomfort we can all benefit from a space to be heard, expand our coping toolbox and experience the warmth of self care.
