Do you wake up in the morning feeling empty, tired, and unmotivated? Are you struggling with issues related to your past, uncontrollable thoughts, anger, grief, communication, anxiety, or major life changes? Are you seeking a more loving, meaningful, and harmonious relationship with your partner and your loved ones but don't know how or what to do to improve it? There comes a time when help is needed from a licensed professional.

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.

We all need support and connection. Maybe you are struggling with issues related to a life transition, relationship problems, or would simply like to feel even better than you do now. In a compassionate environment, I can help you explore current and past challenges interfering with your goals and relationships. My integrative approach offers evidence-based strategies to manage negative thoughts and enhance coping with the stress of everyday life, as well as empower you to explore unresolved problems that might be getting you stuck.

Hi, there. I know you've been searching for the right therapist, and I know it's frustrating to try to find someone you connect with. Whatever brings you here, I understand that trying to "have it all" in today's world is a goal that feels unachievable. Whether you have been feeling overwhelmed with worrying thoughts, not feeling like yourself, are grieving, going through a major transition, or want to work on your relationships with yourself and others, I believe we can make sense of it all together. You do not need to have all the answers all alone.

At times, you might feel alone, hopeless and scared navigating through life's challenges. What we tend to forget is to reflect, become aware of your own strengths and weaknesses to identify your own capabilities and limitations. What I can extend to offer to you is guidance on how you can achieve a better perception of your struggles and gain insight from your experiences. A lesson in life can make it less complicated!

I aim to support individuals dealing with personal and professional barriers impacting their well-being. In my clinical practice, I support issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, emerging adulthood transitions, intergenerational trauma, past trauma histories, systemic oppression, and burnout. Some issues can impact our ability to reach our potential to live a fulfilling and enriching life. You are not alone, and together we can support your healing journey.

My name is Nancy Lozano; I am a Bilingual/Bicultural Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I specialize in working with children, teenagers/adolescents, and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, social or family challenges, and difficulties adjusting to life changes. My approach to therapy is based on my client's needs. I use a collaborative approach to therapy and the integration of evidence-based techniques, such as CBT, CPP, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, strengths-based, and client-centered therapy.

Everyone experiences, at one time or another, difficulty interacting with others and coping with stressful events. We guide you through your challenges, assist you in relieving your stresses, and support you through your enlightenment process to ultimately solve your problems on your own and achieve your goals. "All negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the body's energy system" -- this is the foundation we incorporate in our work. We blend psychotherapy, spiritual beliefs, and Eastern philosophies to work toward healing, working with the entire person's energy system.

I provide psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults. I assess for multiple disorders including ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, depression, anxiety, etc. Depending on the outcomes of the assessment, I may also recommend educational consultation and/or educational counseling to help with any weaknesses or deficits that may be identified.

Hello and Welcome! I work with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, family, and group therapy. I specialize in working with symptoms related to trauma, depression, and anxiety; in addition to a variety of behavioral symptoms that children and adolescents present with. Through your participation in therapy, you will be given the opportunity to explore how a variety of factors have impacted your life; and together we will find ways to process these life experiences, and learn ways to better cope that will provide you with comfort and safety.

Hi! My name is Pamela Thompson and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I love working with individuals of all ages and primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy with patients as it has been proven to be the most effective treatment for the majority of mental health issues. Having said that, I believe that therapy should be tailored for each patient and that often means incorporating other types of therapy techniques into treatment.

I welcome most clients who desire enhanced mental dispositions. I work with toddlers, teens, adults, and seniors. I promote the most positive attitude in my practice and I share all of my talents in hopes of attaining the very best results possible.

I primarily have worked in a clinical setting with individuals and children. I believe that each individual shall receive tailored treatment to their needs in order to foster growth that is sustainable. In addition, I have worked with children and teens in school and home-based settings who struggled with anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders. This may also include life changes within the familial unit or relational conflict.

Helping clients realize their desired life changes is one of the most gratifying parts of my job as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Empowering people to live their best lives is my goal, whether my clients (an individual, a couple, or a family) are wanting to heal from pain, gain hope, or achieve something they perceive as out of reach. 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.

You may be scared to take the first step to get into counseling/therapy--this is something most of my clients have shared with me. Are you fighting the need to be perfect? Do you beat yourself up for all of your mistakes—whether it’s parenting related, work related, or relationship related? Are you completely overwhelmed to the point that you can’t sleep or stress is showing up in your body? It takes courage to ask for help because it requires vulnerability but you can do it!

I enjoy working with people who wish to explore life from different perspectives. Your issues may range from surface level concerns to deeper levels of experience and trauma. I provide emotional support, validation and new perspectives. My intention is to help you work towards goals that will enrich your life.

I offer psychotherapy with a touch of magic. I believe that talk therapy can bring healing in a short time. I treat people who have a variety of situations and I am deliberate in achieving better client outcomes. I examine the individual's struggles in dealing with the environment's demands especially during times of crisis. I recognize that stressful experiences can be spirituality exhausting to deal with and I can help you cope. I also use a therapy approach to explore the experiences of the past and change the present.

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.
