Facing changes and challenges alone can be incredibly difficult. I believe everyone deserves a compassionate and understanding supporter to help during these times. I strive to offer my clients a safe environment free of judgement for gentle exploration of what is getting in the way of living an authentic, courageous, fulfilling life.

Being a therapist not only involves the training we are provided nor the previous clients with whom we have worked. In my opinion, it involves the humility to allow one's client to feel safe enough to share the most vulnerable parts of their experiences for both of us to feel connected and moving in the same direction. My style of treatment follows my beliefs above. I will be working to put the pieces together that you may be unable to see. Once we have a pattern established, we will go at your speed, perhaps with a light nudge from me, to discover the origins of your issues.

The main reason why couples seek counseling is due to a communication breakdown that begins to dismantle an otherwise healthy relationship. Our primary need is to be understood, but if partners are using different modes of communication, there can be a disconnect. DT can provide the jump-start to help find the excitement and communication that couples experienced at the beginning of a relationship, and the common ground that can build a stronger place from which to build trust. In learning more about the roles we play, DT offers partners the opportunity to gain greater insight about themselves and about their problems in relationships.

I am James Thomas, LCSW. I strive to meet people where they are exploring and support individuals to get in touch with what is truly important to them while cultivating loving acceptance of themselves. Being able to increase insight, understanding of how the past impacts the present, although does not have to dictate one's reality, developing a clear, nonjudgmental view of the current situation allows people to work towards becoming a person who lives a life which is congruent with their values.

When you enter a relationship, you bring your hopes and dreams with you. You also bring your unresolved issues. Two people in love, each one looking to the other to fulfill their hopes and dreams. Isn’t that what relationships promise to do? Solve your problems, make you better? No. That's a misunderstanding, and it's not fair. So put away that steamer trunk full of your well preserved baggage, and realize you've got some real work to do if you want your relationship to be what you envision. Your baggage is your responsibility to resolve, so you can give your partner what they deserve. The best of you. Isn't that what you want?

Hi, my name is Marcia Bradley Branca. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California and Hawaii.

My work with adults helps to identify areas that are causing stress or unhappiness and to find their way forward.
