Bisexual Therapists in Perris, CA

Whoever said we can have it all never spent an hour on TikTok. As a veteran of that mid-20s “WHAT am I doing with my life” club, I know it is next to impossible to put on a smile when someone oversteps boundaries, wear a brave face when you’re hurting inside, or express your authentic self when it seems like the world would rather decide for you. I am here to abolish the internalized patriarchy with you one step at a time, & really hone in on who YOU are. I’ll admit it -my profile may be giving emerging Malibu housewife. But, that’s not me. I am a woman who twirls through queer spaces, as well as making my mark on the mainstream.

The core of my work is to help people operate from the best in themselves as an individual and in relationship with others. My work helps individuals develop a state of balance by increasing ones true, solid sense of self and the ability to take care of self while working through difficulties that life throws at you. Key tools in accomplishing this is by helping individuals self confront and self validate and stay true to ones' integrity.

DEREN MIKELS, LCSW Empowering People to Achieve Their Potential - I have been providing counseling for over 23 years and my private practice has been open in Riverside, CA for the past 22 years. I believe in providing supportive counseling in a non-judgmental environment in which my clients can reach their full potential. I take an open-minded approach to client wellness and consider the client's work life, family traditions, cultural and spiritual beliefs, and sexual identity. I am confident I can help with any issue and have extensive experience with adults, teenagers and children.

Helping children, adolescents, and their families is important to me. Having spent 17 years working with children in educational settings, I understand the struggles families face when dealing with behavioral and social issues, poor academic performance, learning disabilities, and mental health issues. Families may be faced with unexpected challenges such as loss of a loved one, loss of a job, or divorce. Not being able to help your child or teen with problems they face, or not being able to bring your family together as a loving unit can be frustrating and disheartening as a parent.

Think on this... Do you find that you are struggling with emotional issues/psychological disorders, dealing with life obstacles or performance issues, overwhelmed with the nagging and always-present stumbling blocks that affect your self-confidence and growth, have trouble navigating relationship difficulties, or you just want to figure out better ways to handle everyday stresses and take better care of yourself? Let's talk. I have extensive training and experience in working in areas of psychological disorders, relational issues, performance optimization, and other life and wellness concerns.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my profile. Within the realm of psychotherapy, I bring valuable experience in supporting individuals navigating issues such as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, feelings of stagnation, and challenges in attaining a state of inner peace. Through a collaborative therapeutic approach, we aim to delve into the biological dimensions of these experiences, identifying latent innate skills. This transformative process empowers the client to nurture a sense of capability, confidence, and grounding, facilitating the reclamation of control over their life, liberated from the constraints of anxiety.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, food and weight issues, addictive or compulsive behaviors, or relationship problems? I provide a mindfulness based approach to Relationship building, managing stress and anxiety, and achieving well-being. For decades, we have focused on clients who want much more out of life, without the disabling qualities of anxiety, depression, and compulsive behavior. We help clients become more aware of the self-defeating stories they tell themselves, while becoming better able to live fuller, richer and empowered lives based upon an acceptance of what IS along with the courage to make solid and lasting changes.

Life is messy. Therapy helps. In the middle of the mess it can be hard to find a way through it, so I work collaboratively with you to identify a path. Together we take a good look at thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviors to see if we can find patterns, then create an action plan to reduce your distress. I am trained in multiple scientifically backed modalities including EMDR and CPT. Everyone is unique with their own set of circumstances that are considered as we walk this journey together. In a world where everyone is talking, sometimes it's nice to have someone really listen.

I love the work I do as a psychotherapist. I see myself as a healer and guide. With you as my client, we navigate the challenges and perhaps, traumas of your past. Being guided through the changes you want to make, I offer empathy and compassion, knowing that self-exploration that leads to desired change can be a challenge, and sometimes the challenge becomes too great to want to continue. It is a given that I listen with in the moment “presence”, and I believe that this “presence” is the key to healing and growth. I welcome the opportunity to work with you as your guide and co-healer on your path of growth, healing and change.

Making this call, or looking for a therapist in general can be a scary thing. Some people have never been to counseling and don't know what to expect. Others have had negative experiences with people they've confided in the past that make them hesitant to put themselves out there again. I am here to make it as easy for you as possible. I will walk you through the process, and answer any questions along the way. I know that trust is earned, and our relationship should be one of high trust, and I'm ready to earn yours. I believe every person is different and deserves individualized counseling based on their own personal needs.

Hi, I'm Brandy. I imagine you're seeking help working through problems keeping you from the life you want. A life where you're happy, confident, living & thriving in relationships, school & career without comparison, shoulds, or overthinking making so much noise, questioning your every move. It's exhausting. The fear, the worry are hard to face alone. You're not alone. You can do this. I help clients navigate life transitions, illness, identity, anxiety, trauma & relationships who often struggle with belonging & finding an authentic voice. I focus on clients working in STEAM careers, cancer survivors, college students & educators.

You are exhausted. You and your partner have the same arguments over and over again, without any resolution. Sometimes you forget what it is you are even arguing about. You wish that you and your partner could magically improve your communication and get back to a time and space when you loved talking to each other or just being in the same room together. You look at your partner almost daily and wonder how you got to this place and  what it will take to return to “the good times”. You miss laughing at each other’s jokes, holding hands, and sharing intimate moments.
