Therapists in North Long Beach, Long Beach, CA

You can expect to walk away with new tools and strategies to cope with difficulties and obstacles, and a greater sense of self-awareness and confidence. My approach to therapy focuses on identifying strengths, reducing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and getting people unstuck from their current situations. We will work at your pace to reduce emotional suffering. I have extensive experience working in various clinical settings, including community mental health centers, clinics, hospitals, recovery programs & acute psychiatric facilities.

Life is a journey. We all struggle at times and need a safe environment in which we can explore our feelings, build greater understanding of ourselves and others, and develop positive coping skills. I meet clients "where they are at" in their lives journey. I believe in a nonthreatening approach, where clients feel safe and free to be themselves. My goal is to help my clients navigate the ups and downs of their life by gaining greater insight into their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and by developing the skills needed to meet life's challenges.

I’m here to help. I work with adults and adolescents, struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, behavioral challenges, and grief and loss.

I have been in the mental health field for over 15 years. My many years of experience have allowed me to strengthen my clinical skills and develop my clinical expertise in helping you to achieve your unique goals. I continue to educate myself on the most up-to-date clinical research and I implement an evidence based clinical approach. Some of these models include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practice and more. I have provided clinical care to countless individuals, families and couples. In treatment, I can help you increase your self-worth, work though depression, ease anxiety and more.

Struggling with IBS, GI problems, or pain is not for the faint of heart. You may feel alone at times, ignored by your doctors, misunderstood by family, & most of all, betrayed by your own body. But Sis, I see you! I am passionate about helping Women, Black, and BIPOC folks heal their body image and relationships with food, cope with the stress associated with medical illness (or exacerbating it!), & create joyful & more fulfilling lives despite their medical concerns or struggles with chronic pain. My name is Jaryn Warren-Brown, and I can't wait to use my mental health and nutrition & wellness background to help you feel good again.

It's my goal to create a safe, loving, and nonjudgmental place where you can openly and honestly talk about things you may not even talk to your friends about. The goals of my work are to assist you in resolving conflicts and becoming more self-aware. It is my belief that each of us has the inner resources we need to resolve our issues and together we will uncover solutions to fit your individual situation.

Maybe you've tried couples therapy before, maybe you have tried talking to friends and family, maybe you have read lots of self help books but nothing seems to be changing, have exhausted all resources and now are looking outside for someone to help you and your partner get back to the place where you feel on top of the world? It is one of the most painful places to be when you are in a relationship where you feel that you are not being heard or validated, like you and your partner just keep missing each other. Did you know that the average couple waits SIX years before they seek out professional help.

I support individuals shift from disconnection to connection. My approach is a blend of Spiritual Psychology, Imago, Gottman, Brainspotting, and Somatic Therapy. My goal is to turn negativity and conflict into opportunities for growth and healing. I assist couples in understanding their early childhood attachment and how it currently affects them, communicating with compassion, reacting to conflict with curiosity rather than judgment, and learning to rekindle the passion. I work with individuals who are feeling anxious, depressed, and disconnected from themselves.

Are you looking for a local therapist who specializes in children? Is your child acting out, unfocused, anxious or aggressive? Do they currently have an IEP at school? If so, I can help. Using a combination of solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral assessment, play therapy and family therapy, I work with children who are experiencing severe challenges in their home and school settings. Working together, I help them to develop new ways to focus their energies, calm their minds, and experience success once again.

Are old ideas holding you back? We build layer upon layer of beliefs that once served us reasonably well, but might not be serving us as we are now. I help individuals and couples work through identifying old patterns and choosing new alternatives. I can help you stop arguing for your limitations. If you have ever wondered why mere insight has not produced change for you or in your relationship, I have an approach that can help you get un-stuck.

Therapy is a powerful tool that has the potential to change your life in profound and lasting ways. It can help you cope with pain, make major life changes, improve relationships, or increase self worth. EMDR is a kind of therapy developed to treat trauma and can also be used to advance therapeutic goals like removing obstacles to change or healing from past hurtful experiences. Whatever your goals for treatment, I can provide a supportive environment where your feelings and thoughts can be expressed without judgment.

It is both courageous and wise that you have noticed a need and are seeking help. Your mental health is a huge part of your overall well-being and life fulfillment. The following is a partial list of the types of folks I have worked with and the challenges we have addressed together: • The LGBTQ+ community • Spiritual seekers/crises of faith/religious abuse • College students/those transitioning to adulthood • Creatives • Death and dying • Depression • Anxiety • Addiction • Infertility • Adoption • Men’s mental health • Life transitions • Trauma • Disability/learning disability • Domestic violence/conflict

As a kid, you color with reckless abandon. You show up as you are & at some point, vulnerability & authenticity becomes more difficult to attain as life unfolds. Sometimes, we’re dealt terrible cards with no guidance on how to play our hand. Our identities become enmeshed in the tragedies that we have experienced & those who have harmed us. I want to help you &/or your loved ones reconnect in a world that makes it hard to reach out & thrive by being a bridge, connecting you to the pieces of yourself that may have wandered while you were trying to survive.

Life is hard, finding a therapist shouldn’t be this challenging… you're finally ready to give this therapy thing a try so you can stop feeling stuck, unhappy and unable to live a fulfilling life. That’s where I come in. My experience allows me to understand the best ways to address each client’s needs in an effective manner. I am flexible in my approach and use collaboration as the basis of my therapy.
