Hi, My name is Monique Martin. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Long Beach, California. I have 5 years of experience working in the mental health field. I am very passionate about creating safe spaces to heal for women seeking to improve their emotional and psychological well-being. I deeply believe with encouragement, validation, collaboration and support are essential elements for cultivating a path for healing. Collaboration and working together in a safe therapeutic environment are the key elements to unlocking the answers to enjoy a healthier life.

My name is Anabel Robles, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). As a trauma-informed and domestic violence therapist, my role is to help clients process their past traumatic experiences. I aim to provide a safe and supportive space to empower my clients, help them with the healing process, and move forward on their own terms. I have worked with various populations, including children and adults, who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, bullying, anxiety, and depression.

Are you currently searching for a sense of meaning and purpose in your life? Do you find yourself in an existential/spiritual emergency? Are you exploring your personal identity, expression, or sexuality? I help people of all ages increase self-awareness and decrease symptomology by bringing unconscious material into conscious awareness. Mental health concerns eventually arise because deep in our mind/body/soul we yearn for authenticity/individuation. Together we can explore which aspects of ourselves that no longer serve us to let go, in order to make space for something new to enter.

Being a therapist not only involves the training we are provided nor the previous clients with whom we have worked. In my opinion, it involves the humility to allow one's client to feel safe enough to share the most vulnerable parts of their experiences for both of us to feel connected and moving in the same direction. My style of treatment follows my beliefs above. I will be working to put the pieces together that you may be unable to see. Once we have a pattern established, we will go at your speed, perhaps with a light nudge from me, to discover the origins of your issues.

Stephanie is passionate about journeying alongside adults and adolescents as they experience the difficulties of life transitions and discover who they truly are. People often find themselves in painful relational patterns and spaces of internal suffering that hinder them from living the fulfilled life they desire. Stephanie believes that deeply exploring oneself from a holistic and creative posture is what allows people to authentically live in the freedom of who they truly are.

Congratulations! The fact that you are searching for a therapist means you acknowledge that something needs to change. Your current approach in life no longer yields the satisfaction you desire, and you want to do something about it. Coming to this realization is the hardest part in bringing about change, and you don't have to do it alone anymore. I feel very passionate about this work. I consider it a privilege and an honor to positively affect people's lives and help them make lasting changes. We will explore the core of how your thought & behavioral patterns came to be, and what purposes they serve.

Do you need help slowing down and caring for yourself? Do you relate... “I help others, but I’m personally running on empty.” “I can manage a lot, but I can’t figure out why I'm struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, food or body image issues, or past hurts.” “I wish I felt more connected to my own heart and to my partner.” In therapy, I can help you find the healing and support you deserve, so that you can experience more joy and love your life. I bring 20+ years of experience to helping individuals and couples address the wounds, unmet needs and relationship dynamics that cause them so much pain.

Do you feel empty, alone, or paralyzed by fear and anxiety? Do you feel unable to cope with life's challenges? Maybe you feel frustrated with yourself for giving up on your true desires or generally unsatisfied, lost or without purpose? Suffering only forces the pain underground to emerge in old patterns that may be limiting your success or interfering with your ability to move past losses and create more fulfilling relationships. Change can be difficult, but the rewards are vast! Recognizing the complexity and uniqueness of each individual is essential to my collaborative and in-depth approach.

Most people looking for a therapist do so because they are in some level of pain or distress. An effective therapy process provides the space for transforming such difficulties into the capacity for better coping, more satisfying relationships, and a stronger sense of self. I have dedicated years of training and experience to help with issues of individual suffering and relationship conflicts. I focus on a clear understanding of problems presented, and offer a process of resolution. I believe a supportive therapeutic process is most effective, and I provide an empathic connection.

Therapy should be client-focused & should occur in an atmosphere of warmth & safety. My style is caring, creative and non-judgmental. A trusting relationship between client and therapist is essential for successful outcomes in therapy. Through this relationship, clients can explore the emotional challenges that they are facing. With the help of an empathic therapist, one can begin to gain awareness of unconscious emotional patterns, feelings & beliefs. Through the processing of this unconscious material, old wounds can be healed and the client can gain insight that equips them to create a life that is more satisfying and meaningful.

Ready to thrive instead of just survive? Life is ever-changing, and sometimes we get bogged down by relationships or circumstances that leave us feeling hollow or worn out. I understand the yearning to have life feel open and easy despite feeling day-to-day like you're spinning your wheels in the same place. I can help. I provide a safe space to help you explore your life and relationships in a way that allows you to build insight and develop a better perspective of whatever life has thrown your way.

Do you often feel anxious, depressed, or "stuck" and want to feel happier and more fulfilled, but are unsure how? Perhaps your relationships are suffering, or you are underperforming at work. Maybe you just had a major life change, like a new baby or a divorce, and you need help adjusting to your new life. Perhaps you suffered a loss or another traumatic experience currently, or in your past, that you haven't yet worked through. This is where I come in. I create a judgement-free, safe space to work on these issues and help you move past them.
