Female Therapists in South Arroyo, Pasadena, CA

In my work with individuals and couples, I seek to provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment in which individual and relational issues can be explored. In this environment, challenges become opportunities for growth. I use a psychodynamic approach to explore what is occurring in one's life and/or relationship in the present, what occurred in one's past which influences the way one views him or herself in the present, and what may be going on at an unconscious level which impacts one's choices, behaviors, and beliefs about self and other.

I work with creative professionals who want to become less anxious and more emotionally regulated. Being a creative in LA while struggling with depression and anxiety can quickly lead to burnout, this makes building a successful career really challenging. Many of my clients come to me because they are feeling stuck in their careers or overwhelmed with the projects and opportunities in front of them. I’ve seen it possible for creatives just like you, whether you are a filmmaker, writer, or editor, to have huge success and stability in your life through therapy.

Living a successful creative life is possible. Are you an artist, writer, musician, academic, or entrepreneur struggling to realize the life you desire? Are you self-critical? Have you noticed problematic patterns in relationships? Are you anxious, depressed, overworked, overwhelmed, and beginning to wonder if you'll ever feel better? Are there symptoms you suspect are related to unresolved trauma, and you're ready for release? As a holistic psychodynamic and somatic therapist, I welcome you. My experience is that our needs will best be met by a skilled and imaginative therapist who attends to mind and body, psyche and soma.

You are driven and ambitious, but lately you have been feeling anxious and disconnected from yourself and your relationships. On the outside, it seems like you have it all together. You excel in your professional and/or academic life, and people perceive you as responsible and hard working. But, on the inside, you feel anxious and on high-alert, searching for what could go wrong. You feel as though your worthiness depends upon your productivity. You’re doing so much, but you feel empty and misaligned. Maybe you even notice anxiety showing up in your romantic life. You crave intimacy and connection, but don't know how to get there.

Do you feel like aspects of your life have been unconsciously avoided but are now seeping through cracks? As a second generation Filipina-American, I view therapy as an opportunity to create a new blueprint on how you want to live your most meaningful life. From navigating my own journey in mental health, I have learned to be grateful for my emotions and to move towards the uncomfortable. I believe building awareness and by simply being curious around the uncomfortable parts of your life may provide an emotional understanding that could help you feel reconnected to your self.

I help adults make sense of their experiences in a meaningful way. People come to me who are inquisitive and trying their best, yet still feel detached and longing for a better understanding of their lives. Oftentimes they’ve been in the driver’s seat going 100 miles an hour for years and can’t quite figure out how to slow down. Together, we work to slow fast-paced life, be present, and ultimately, see the once-blurry scenes in a clearer way. Just as each road trip is unique, so too is our tailor-made therapy. If you’re open-minded, motivated, and filled with curiosity, let’s see if we’re a good match!

I’m passionate about helping women transform their lives. Supporting them on their path to growth and healing. Being a woman in today’s modern world is hard. There’s pressure to have a healthy relationship, successful career, to be a good parent, and to be physically and emotionally healthy. High expectations of us take a toll on our minds and our bodies. Many women I work with talk about losing themselves and feeling frustratingly stuck. You want to feel grounded and confident. You need time to look inward and heal. You’re ready to develop a pathway forward, one where you feel hopeful and in control. You're in the right place.

I strive to offer a steadfast, reflective, responsive and compassionate environment. Together we will seek to understand what your unique challenges are as well as what growth and healing might look like for you. I work with adult individuals and couples who struggle with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem and confidence issues, overachieving and perfectionism, grief and loss, creative and spiritual crisis, identity challenges, communication, intimacy, and divorce.

Welcome. I work primarily with couples and couples who are parents. Parenting and marriage play significant roles in our lives and they got harder during Covid. New parents especially are coping with topics that their relatives and friends with older children may have a hard time relating to. I am here to help new parents and couples navigate this transition time as individuals, partners, and parents. I rely heavily on attachment theory, Gottman method techniques for couples and raising emotionally intelligent children, and mindfulness.

You're smart, you're creative, you have big dreams but nothing is measuring up. Are you sick of your job Your boss? Of your relationships leaving something to be desired? Your self-criticism is relentless. The self-help books have only gotten you so far. You can't get your relationship with food or self-esteem in order. You're constantly comparing yourself to others and you can't pin down what is wrong- why things are clicking for you. Or maybe you find yourself in an unfulfilling partnership. Your relationship is a mess. You want deeper connection, hot sex, and more fun with your person! The dream of a team feels far away.

Hi and welcome! Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me and how I approach therapy. Life is more demanding and stressful these days than ever before. There are many ways people cope with personal challenges. Going to therapy is just one option. Therapy provides a unique opportunity to explore yourself, your relationships with others, and your goals and aspirations. My approach is simple: together, let's find practical ways to cope with personal issues and, if appropriate, let's look into how your past experiences have affected how you are currently coping. I will provide a safe space to explore this personal journey.

I provide therapy to people across the lifespan, from young children to older adults, as well as couples and families. While the methods may change depending on age and circumstance the goals are often similar: to feel understood, to connect, and to grow. I work in a respectful, collaborative and creative way to explore the parts of self that might be contributing to feelings of stagnation and being stuck. I was previously licensed as an Educational and Child Psychologist in the UK and I have extensive experience in schools, working with children, parents and faculty to support student growth and wellbeing.

The therapist-client alliance is at the core of emotional healing. I use a compassionate approach pair with evidence-based treatments to effectively target common mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, trauma-related, and other psychological disorders that prevent satisfying relationships. Yo hablo español: La alianza de el terapeuta y el/la clienta es el núcleo de la curación emocional. Utilizo un enfoque compasivo junto con tratamientos basados ​​en la evidencia para abordar eficazmente los trastornos comunes de salud mental.

I believe in treating OCD by helping you manage it effectively. Together, we’ll identify and implement strategies to help you reach your goals. My passion for helping people and understanding their unique stories led me to become a therapist, allowing me to build meaningful relationships and support your journey. My practice emphasizes a whole-body approach to mental health: sometimes it’s helpful to change our body to change our mind. At NOCD, my team and I are dedicated to providing comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for people with OCD.

Whether you were embarking on motherhood, a new career, a new phase of life, or a relationship, you began the journey filled with anticipation and joy. However, life has brought on some unexpected twists and turns, leaving you feeling out of control and disappointed. The inner critic inside you is taking over, leaving you stuck in an endless cycle of self-blame and self-doubt, feeling helpless and hopeless about how to move forward.

We often go through life transitions unaware of how the past might still have a hold on us. Sometimes we simply need to take a moment to reflect on how experiences and relationships have shaped our perception of ourselves and situations. Processing how past traumas are linked to the present can help us to recover, heal, and to understand how behavior patterns and responses are formed in the first place so that we can change for the better.
