Therapists in Mountain View, CA

My volunteering at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Aids Project led me to a volunteer management career. I went on to work with volunteers in a medical center, humane society, and adult literacy program. I returned to college later in life to pursue a career in counseling. My desire to become a therapist developed over time as I gained more insight into my own life. A failed marriage landed me in therapy, where I was able to deal with my anger and emotional pain. After some years of antidepressant medication and therapy, I gained a new lease on life.

I work from a client-centered and humanistic approach, which allows me to personalize the treatment to suit each individual; implementing and utilizing approaches that are best suited for and tailored to meet their needs rather than a specific therapeutic modality. I work from a Strengths-based orientation, utilizing past and current skills as well as gaining new ones to assist the client in overcoming life challenges and improving their quality of life or achieving their goals. I work with clients who have diagnoses across the board ranging from substance use, ADHD, autism, to schizophrenia.

I am the therapist for the working professional and their families. I am available to accept new clients. I provide Problem Solving Strategic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy, Career and work-related Coaching and Leadership Development. I work with high functioning adults and adolescents, individuals and families; with students on performance and anxiety issues; with couples to improve communication and emotional connection/intimacy. Trying to conceive, Pregnancy, Postpartum and Parenting (including parenting of autistic/2e/PDA kids). I work in California for therapy; globally for coaching.

I am a BBS registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) with prior mental health service experience and extensive knowledge working with individuals from diverse populations, including lower socioeconomic status, young children and adolescents, working young adults, and people of color.

With over 10 years of clinical work experience in the mental health field, my work is grounded in the belief that we are all capable of having meaningful and satisfying lives. Whether you are struggling with a relationship conflict, grieving a significant loss, experiencing a lack of joy, or perhaps a career change, I offer support and guidance to work through feelings of confusion, self-doubt, or fear that often accompany these challenges. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and learning more about your needs and collaborating with you on your journey of discovery and growth.

I am a strong believer in one's capability to get out of their "stuck points" in life, even if the path seems to be insurmountable. Perhaps you are struggling with overwhelming stress, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts. You might be depressed and seemingly unable to feel any motivation, satisfaction or enjoyment in life. I have assisted several clients in overcoming these obstacles, and I can help you as well. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients with effective, personalized tools that will set them on the path towards healing.

Hi there, I'm Deanna, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

I also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques.

Wellness: it is unique to each and every one of us. What works for you may not work for the next person. As a therapist, it is extremely important for me to understand what you are dealing with, from your own perspective. I take a very collaborative approach and do my best to be as thorough as possible when exploring the challenges you are facing. I provide feedback and tools to assist you in developing insight. Regardless of what you may be dealing with, there is an opportunity to overcome, and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most dynamic factor to achieving long lasting change.

In today's fast-paced world, prioritizing mental health is essential. I believe that, while challenges are inevitable, overcoming them is possible with the right support.

Hi! My name is Virginia and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 6 years of experience in providing mental health and case management services to adults, adolescents, and the elderly. I have provided individual and group therapy to patients within the community mental health agencies, hospitals, and prisons. I have a passion for working with diverse and multicultural populations. I believe everyone has a unique story, journey, and life experience that needs to be shared and I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment to explore and express that story.

Navigating life stressors can be overwhelming and difficult for children, adolescents and parents. Watching a child struggle with mental health concerns can be difficult to know where to get additional help, and know how to approach behaviors at home. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe place that will allow children and adolescents to feel comfortable to talk about what is bothering them and learn how to cope with their stressors, as well as help parents feel like they can understand their child in their individual needs.

Ineffective therapy can feel like an endless routine of talking without a plan for change. Are you ready to make true life changes, move beyond just talking and do the work that will help you move past your challenges? Together we can create change. First, we will take time to learn about your unique situation, complex identities, and life circumstances. Then, we will develop a plan. Next, you will learn a replicable process: identify achievable goals, overcome barriers to change, learn and master new skills. I believe you can learn the skills needed to overcome your challenges.

Are you seeking clarity, connection, and confidence in your life and relationships? With over 15 years of experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am here to guide you through the complexities and challenges you may be facing. Life can be overwhelming, and it's natural to encounter difficulties along the way. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, communication problems within the family, families of divorce, academic stress, body image issues, or social anxiety, you are not alone. These challenges can significantly impact your well-being and relationships, but they are also opportunities for growth.

Do you ever feel like there should be more to life? When faced with another challenging event, you find yourself yearning for change, thinking, "I don't want to continue like this... I'm ready for a positive turn". Life can be different and better than it is now. There are places we can discover together that may be difficult to find alone. Fortunately, there is a path, a way to help you achieve your goals. I've worked with kids and adults, providing support for anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, and cancer-related challenges, among others. I'm here, ready to begin our journey.
