Addiction Therapists in North Hollywood, CA

Therapy is a place to provide tools that help you develop coping skills, regulate emotions, and decrease overall distress. I believe there is not one size fits all in terms of what helps clients improve their lives. I will implement skills from different orientations that suit your specific needs and tailor your treatment plan accordingly. I am aware of cultural diversity and provide a safe space.

My name is E. Penny Jacobo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I believe many of our problems in life can be managed by changing our own thoughts and perspectives. We are usually more capable and powerful than we give ourselves credit for and I aim to help others find and use their own inner strength to solve their problems. I work with clients to identify cognitive distortions and change them. I also believe that taking the time to pause and be present at the moment is crucial to creating insight into our lives and our problems.

Life is a journey and we the people experience the most unexpected moments that become life changing. Unfortunately, some of the experiences and life events leave us with feelings of hurt, grief and hopelessness. It is normal to feel sad, hopeless, guilty, shameful but it is not okay to make them life sentences. I believe that early intervention and finding an emphatic, non-judgmental professional brings one step closer into the healing process.

Colleen Prentice LCSW, 118341. My practice is client-centered, collaborative, trauma-informed, and solution-focused, starting where the client is at. My approach is holistic taking in the whole person with ongoing assessment and treatment planning focusing on the client's goals.

As human beings we are constantly evolving and changing depending on our life experiences. My main objective as a therapist is to assist clients in whatever phase of life that they might be in, as well as whatever obstacles in life that they may be having challenges with. My job is truly to be a witness and a sense of safe support as we collaboratively decipher what resources and forms of support that clients need. No matter what situations, obstacles or challenges that you may be facing you have the ability to evolve, and gradually change to live the life that will give you the greatest. Allow me to be apart of that process.

We carry with us stories and patterns that have likely served us in the past, but may no longer serve us. This can exacerbate symptoms of anxiety, depression or other mental health symptoms. Exploring and recognizing, with gentleness, how these patterns have become detrimental, gives us the freedom to choose what themes we insert in our life, and what we no longer have space for. I am excited by the opportunity to explore with individuals, couples and polycules the way in which they can increase their intimacy, empowerment, and sense of individuality by exploring and challenging barriers and patterns that limit exploration.

Hello, my name is Yashwanthi “Yash” Mirji. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice based in Simi Valley, California. I provide individual, couples and family psychotherapy via Telehealth, In office and hybrid. My areas of specialty are grief/loss, trauma, and disorders such as ADD, Bi-polar, OCD, Depression and Anxiety. I specialize in treating unresolved trauma, complex grief, chronic stress, Attention Deficit Disorder, Bipolar, relationship issues and symptoms that overlap this like depression, anxiety.

I help individuals identifying as people pleasers or caretakers who put aside their own needs, wants or desires for others. They also struggle to make time for themselves. They are giving, strong, determined and intelligent individuals who don’t see how to give care to themselves. When they first come in they are exhausted and expressing needing a break, wanting to take a step away from their family and friends. Feeling guilting for wanting to get away from the people they love. What do they need? What do you need? You, like my clients, need love, self-care and peace of mind.

Life can at times be challenging and feel too overwhelming to navigate. A relationship with the right therapist can be a transformative experience that allows you heal and continue to grow into the person you want to be. Trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions among other day to day dealings can feel paralyzing and feel like the world is burning down around you. Those who work in creative fields can often feel stuck in their work, as well as those in the athletic world. I work to with clients through the foundation of trust and empathy to help them find healing within themselves.

I have focused my career on helping people overcome addiction, depression, anxiety, and in adapting to major life transitions through the use of their inherent strengths and assets. I have strong experience in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and family conflict in addition to my substance abuse background. I have both personal and professional experience with issues specific to veterans of the armed services and substance abuse. I also have experience working with those affected by the criminal justice system.

Like many people, I was skeptical regarding the benefits of therapy, but through my own therapeutic experience, I learned how rewarding it is. As a clinician, I provide the questions and guide the reflection that helps my clients see their concerns more clearly and grow real solutions that serve them. Part of this process is nurturing a safe space where judgment is missing and thoughts become organized. My belief is that change is ever constant and happens around us even when we believe things are static. Many people get stuck in patterns that do not serve them and some of us may even be afraid to go in a different direction.
