Hola! My name is Maria Avila, I am a first generation Latina therapist seeing clients in person in Ventura (and virtually) through my private practice Raices Trauma Therapy. I specialize in treating complex trauma (CPTSD) and attachment trauma.

Are you struggling with identity? Feeling worthless or like an imposter? Are you snapping at loved ones over little things? Or repeating relationships, patterns, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. That's where I come in. My job is to listen, help you understand the root causes of your issues, break unwanted patterns, and teach you practical tools to change your life. Therapy isn't always easy, but neither is the distress you're feeling now. And it's ok to need help; we all do.

You feel an unexplained sense of hopelessness. You have had better days, but difficult emotions seem to be in control of you. You wonder why it's so difficult to be with your thoughts, why a stable connection with others feels so hard to establish, and why it feels so impossible to please everyone without compromising your own well-being. You want to know how to better relate to yourself and your loved ones. Is it even possible to be happy? Or is it impossible because something is wrong with me? These questions confront you so often, but you are struggling to find the answers.

Hi there, my name is Edwin! My experience in Social Work has allowed me to work alongside students of all ages (elementary through college) where we worked on topics such as depressive moods, anxiety, stress, and questions surrounding queer identity. Working with these students allowed us to start conversations about communication skills and triggers that they faced in their day to day life. Working alongside them, we were able to identify what steps they were comfortable doing to implement into their lives to see results.

I have been helping individuals, couples & families overcome challenges and live the lives they were created for by working through issues of depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, substance abuse, trauma, etc. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and am also licensed in Arizona as an (LPC) Licensed Professional Counselor and a (LMFT) Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. Also, I am a Certified Life Coach through the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) and have training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). This certification uniquely equips me to help you resolve trauma in a gentle and effective way.

As a seasoned practitioner in the field of Transformational Psychology, I am dedicated to supporting women through the complex journey of navigating relationships, particularly during pivotal decisions such as contemplating whether to stay or leave a marriage. My mission is to empower you to make informed choices while cultivating the best version of yourself and crafting a fulfilling life that resonates with your desires and aspirations. Through our collaborative work, I will assist you in exploring your values, needs, and goals, so you can gain clarity on the kind of relationship that aligns with your vision for the future.

I specialize in working with adult individuals who are challenged by a variety of issues including relationship issues, abuse and neglect, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and bereavement.

Patricia Cunningham, LPCC takes a holistic approach to therapy that is concerned with your mind, body, and soul since no one aspect can be separated from the others. Together we look at areas of concern that keep you from leading the life that your heart desires. Clients who seek me out may be looking for guidance as they navigate a new life challenge, or they could be experiencing added stress due to relationship or work issues. My clients appreciate my interactive approach.

In my practice, I primarily work with millennial BIPOC women who are high-achieving and yet find themselves off-kilter after giving of themselves to family, relationships, and work. I explore the impact of generational trauma especially in the context of cultural clashes and immigration. I walk alongside millennials navigating the intersection of gender, culture, health and spirituality to become more whole selves.

I specialize in analyzing relationships, connections & emotions. I work with my clients to help them heal from past trauma, loss, anxiety or symptoms of depression. Together at a pace that's comfortable for you, we will get to the root of emotional distress through processing past life events that lead to negative symptoms or outcomes. We will work together to build a stronger sense of self to promote wholeness and an increased sense of well-being. I will work to "unstick" you from unprocessed life encounters or loss where emotion was not felt, nurtured or resolved.

Making the choice to start therapy can be intimidating, but taking the steps to care for yourself and your mental health shows that you are ready for some change. In order for this change to develop, I place immense value on the importance of the therapeutic relationship and provide a safe space for clients to feel understood, challenged and empowered without feeling judged. I want all of my clients to feel as though therapy is a safe place to vent, laugh, cry, gain insight, and grow as in individual.

Available immediately. I work with people confronting the consequences of sexual addiction and compulsion. If you’re dealing with the shame of your own sexual behavior or suffering from the painful discovery of an addicted partner’s infidelity (again?), you have suffered enough. Betrayal trauma is all consuming. By booking a consultation with me to honestly confront the problem, you begin the process of restoring your sanity and sexual integrity. You’ll get empathy, understanding and safety to uncover feelings, secrets, lies and patterns that no longer serve you. Making informed decisions about your future begins here.

My name is Dr. Cynthia Lemus. I am a bilingual speaking therapist (Spanish and English) I attained my bachelor's in Child Development and Master Social Work from CSUN and doctoral degree from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have been working in outpatient mental health for 6 years. I have had the opportunity to be certified in a couple of evidence-based practices such as MAP (Managing and Adapting Practices), TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and certified for CPP (Child-Parent Psychotherapy).

As a licensed therapist, I consider it a great privilege to be part of someone’s healing and growth, where they are free to be wholly human. I recognize that seeking therapy can have stigmas attached to it among some marginalized and minority communities. I am passionate about breaking through these stigmas and can uniquely understand coming from these communities myself as a Muslim and child of immigrants. I aim to provide therapy within a social justice framework that is holistic and trauma informed. I believe that the personal is political, and therefore, that therapy can not be inherently apolitical.

Helping clients realize their desired life changes is one of the most gratifying parts of my job as a Marriage and Family Therapist.

I approach everyone with compassion and understanding, without judgement. I am honored to be the person who gets to take this journey with others, and I look forward to taking it with you.
