Divorce Therapists in Pismo Beach, CA

We specialize in helping individuals facing communication breakdowns, and unable to find common ground. Often our clients have tried counseling, even within their faith communities, without success. We stand as an optimal resolution providing counseling and family mediation services to halt relationship deterioration. We offer a comprehensive, solution-focused path to reconciliation, addressing root causes and fostering effective communication. If you're experiencing relationship challenges and/or considering separation or divorce and feel you've exhausted all options, we provide hope and a genuine opportunity for healing.

Do you find yourself struggling with being triggered in your daily life and having a hard time managing the triggers? Whether at home, at work or in your personal relationships? Do you sometimes experience fatigue, feelings of helplessness and find it hard to get through the day. Are you struggling with letting go of baggage from the past (ie: negative experiences growing up, at work, in your relationships, losses, etc.) and are in need of some healing and support.

Deciding to go into therapy can be scary and hard but choosing to know yourself better can be transforming and liberating. Together we will create a safe space that will provide the opportunity to explore your feelings, thoughts, hopes and dreams. We may look into your past and identify experiences that led you to hold beliefs and engage in behaviors that were necessary when they developed, but now impede your growth.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience who approaches therapy with warmth, compassion, and creativity. I help adults, couples, and teens identify maladaptive patterns that hinder living life in more authentic and purposeful ways. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and strength-based at its core, and therapeutic techniques used in therapy stem from an integrative, mind-body approach. I’m well-versed in utilizing a broad range of empirically-informed interventions and psychological assessments to treat the myriad complexities that come with our collectively shared human experiences.

Mind, Body, Soul. I am a holistic psychologist in service to those with trauma histories that are causing issues in their daily lives and specifically in their relationships. We are meant for connection. Trauma disrupts that. It also causes negative energy patterns that imprint on our lives and impact our wellbeing as well as our ability to create the life that we truly desire and deserve. If I am unable to see you personally, I will match you with one of my highly skilled associate clinicians. Dr. Dolan

I believe in the human capacity to heal, accept, love, and grow from our life experiences. Our most treasured beliefs and relationships help us through the pain and difficult times in life. I believe there is no point so low from which we cannot only recover, but gain wisdom and strength as well. Therefore, I focus my treatment style on emotional and character growth, rather than simple symptom reduction.

Reality check. Life really isn't one big happy party. Stuff happens. Bad stuff. Sometimes, really bad stuff that shakes you to the core, leaving a sense of loss and disconnection from the things you love. At the other end of the continuum are the little bumps along the way. The hiccups that take you out of the comfort zone temporarily and just need a little smoothing. Hopefully, that's where most of life happens. If not, therapy may help. Wherever you fall on the spectrum of life's challenges and whatever your age, let's work together to get you closer to a happy, healthy, fulfilling life.

My passion is serving those in SLO community and promoting meaningful change and healing in the individuals I treat. I imagine you are here because something in your life has caused you pain or suffering. Achieving emotional and mental wellness is hard and uncomfortable work, but it does not have to happen alone. I honor the vulnerability and courage it takes to begin therapy. My goal is to help you discover a life of balance, authenticity, and happiness. Everyone can benefit from therapy— from children to adults.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" - Lao Tzu. Having the courage to work on yourself to reach your full potential does not have to happen alone. As a psychologist and cancer survivor, I've experienced physical and emotional challenges that led to positive and healthy lifestyle changes. I hope to use these experiences to help others on their journey with emotional issues, chronic medical conditions, grief, life transition issues, or those who want to improve nutrition and lifestyle. I hope to walk this journey with you in order to facilitate growth and healing.

My journey in the healing arts is a wonderful one and involves working with clients of all ages and stages of life. I have an integrated therapy approach with a specific focus on intermodal therapies, life transitions, community building, and family/group work. I work with clients who can be experiencing anxiety, adolescent anxiety, depression, substance abuse, significant life adjustments/transitions, post traumatic stress, blended family dynamics, grief/loss, adjustment to motherhood, and couples communication challenges. In our work together we are transforming life challenges into growth opportunities and creative action in your life.

I believe that our most profound feelings contain the seeds of our transformation and growth. Working together in a warm, supportive, and connected relationship, we can gain access to these deep, transformative emotions to find healing, strength, and unimagined new vitality. I enjoy working with students and young adults, those in mid-life, and elders.

I am a mediator, translator, and witness. I can help clients rewrite their narratives, fostering growth and healing. I attend workshops, read, and learn from my clients to stay atop of the latest information and cultural norms. Together, you can learn to hold space for transformation and healing. In a first session, I would hope to teach you how to navigate the therapeutic process, go over expectations, and your personal goals. Eventually, I hope therapy feels as comfortable as eating pizza in your sweatpants & chatting with a trusted friend (with real science going on in the background).

My practice focuses on supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults dealing with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, relationship issues, stress management, and other mental health concerns. I enjoy working with teens and supporting them in navigating the unique complexities associated with this life phase. I also work with families to help create bridges of communication and understanding between teens and their parents. I am a strong believer in the importance of joyful movement, mindfulness, social connection, and nutrition to help us reach our optimal state of well-being.

"Therapy can be a place where the wonder and awe of self discovery can culminate in personal clarity, empowerment and promote a richer more fulfilling life. Living with past and present wounds, dealing with depression, anxiety, anger or addictions, or working through difficult relationships and life transitions, our lives may seem out of control when our emotions and our thinking are out of balance. As your counselor I will help you by gently guiding you in finding that balance by creating a safe and supportive environment as you develop skills to regain your mentally healthy life."
