Relationship Issues Therapists in Menlo Park, CA

Hello. My name is Karen McGuffey. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Certified Domestic Abuse Counselor. I have over 13 years of experience as a therapist in Community Mental Health and 4 years of experience in private practice.

Are you feeling down? Not getting as much enjoyment from life as you want? Do you feel tired and worn out all the time? You know things aren't right, but don't know how to fix them. I help people make sense of confusing emotions. Imagine what it would feel like to put these difficult emotions behind you and to be living a life filled with purpose and meaning. I've created a revolutionary depth-oriented therapy program called "The BETR" method, which helps people find long-term relief from challenging emotions. I care deeply about the people I work with, and I look forward to helping you begin living the life you want and deserve.

The therapeutic process is unique and I aim to build my therapy style around the needs of each client. With over 10 years of experience, I have a passion for working with many populations including veterans, adults with autism, parents of children with autism, working with families in the PHP/IOP setting, students transitioning out of college, and survivors of trauma. I am a level 2 Certified Trauma Specialist with a background in Somatic Reprocessing and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. No matter the challenges you are facing, I am here to provide you with the skills, support, and environment needed to succeed.

I am a strengths-centered therapist that focuses on a person as a whole. I enjoy working with people via Telehealth with the ease of technology. I have worked with the use of Telehealth since July 2020. I am passionate about serving people in my community who identify as Latinx being I am bilingual and bicultural. I understand the importance of maintaining a healthy mind and body to better function in life; I began my journey with a therapist as a teen and saw the benefits.

I work best with individuals and couples who are interested in understanding how they got stuck and who want to develop skills and insights to move forward. Everyone gets stuck in their life or relationships at times. Perhaps there is job stress, a new baby, a divorce or break up, sexual/intimacy problems or a last child leaving home. Sometimes we know we are distressed but don't really know why. I strive to create a safe and accepting atmosphere in my office that enables people to be less reactive and more thoughtful and creative in addressing their conflicts.

Hola, my name is Jesus Mendoza, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with clients statewide via Telehealth. My goal is to provide a safe space to aid in one’s journey toward healing by learning safe coping skills, emotion regulation, and communication techniques. I emphasize finding one’s true authentic self. I have found that my style works well with teens and adults with past trauma, current stressors, or difficulty with certain life transitions.

You have been wanting to try something different for some time now. Reach out today and we will get started.

Everyone experiences difficult times and I focus on hope and change. I am a licensed psychologist with 20+ years of experience, including working at Stanford University before entering private practice. I take an integrative approach, analyzing each client individually then using the best techniques and skills from cognitive behavioral, DBT, emotion regulation and interpersonal orientations. I am active in the change process and will actively engage you in introspection and change. I believe in warmth, honesty, and collaboration in the process.

Trauma and many of its related challenges can cause emotional reactions and physical responses causing you to wonder, will this ever get better? You may wonder, how long can I tolerate this bravery? I welcome supporting you. If complicated life themes tend to show up unexpectedly in behaviors that cause you to second guess yourself, I can help. Let’s collaborate and explore this knotted chain, which is really a portal into what blocks self confidence and connection. We'll find new solutions, reduce or resolve triggers that affect your everyday life in a way that is paced.

Maybe you have come to a place in life where "figuring it out" on your own is not working. Maybe you want to develop new skills, a new perspective from someone with experience, non-bias, and without judgement. I am committed to assist individuals, couples, and families navigate life. It can be hard to make that first step to reach out for help, but I will meet you right where you are at!

Sometimes life brings challenges that require us to learn and grow in unforeseen ways. These challenges can take the form of an illness in ourselves or a loved one, death, the loss of dreams held dearly, and trials that are part of living and maturing. I work collaboratively with individuals, families, and couples to help them overcome the stressful events they face.

Individuals often come to therapy because they are having difficulties in relationships, coping with work-related stress, or managing intense emotions related to past experiences. They may be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or substance use which they feel has become unmanageable. My aim as a therapist is to help you reconnect with your own strengths and empower you to overcome your challenges, to see things in a new way, or perhaps, to identify your goals and values. I view therapy as a very collaborative process in which we will work together to help you build the life you want to live.
