Bisexual Therapists in Redlands, CA

My approach to healing is through connection. Meeting people where they are and validating our shared human experience. Together, we will work hard to improve your life in a safe, nurturing environment. I use insight along with EMDR and humanistic approaches in order to help people find their hidden potential and to heal. I will accompany you on your journey to self-discovery.

I have been providing therapy for individuals, families and couples, and most recently on a panel for transgender psychological evaluations for over 25 years. I have certifications for anger management and chemical dependency.

In our work together, I will aim to help you feel understood as we explore the life difficulties you have faced, and currently face. I emphasize empathy in my work, and provide a safe environment in which to help you process your painful experiences and understand how they may be influencing your current struggles. Unprocessed emotional pain is commonly at the core of the symptoms we experience; yet it is often dismissed or suppressed. We will process your feelings and experiences to help make sense out of them and reduce your symptoms.

Hi! My name is Valerie Taber (she/her/hers), and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Southern California. I am LGBTQIA+ and gender-affirming, neurodivergence-affirming, and tend to do therapy from a framework of feminism, racial justice/equity, and body neutrality/fat-positive perspectives. My specialties include working with parenting issues, late diagnosed adult ADHD and neurodivergence, women/AFAB issues, and self-esteem.

Talk therapy isn't enough and you're having a tough time containing your feelings, thoughts, urges and physical sensations. It’s spilling out into your personal and professional relationships and moving you further away from the life you imagined. Panic, grief and shame have you holding back, making it impossible to risk or rest. You are willing to work, just don't know where to start. You're realizing you need experienced support to not only heal and accept your tender parts, but also real tools you can put into action to self-regulate, transform and be able to grow through this! You want to get better and you will.

Having anxiety can cause feelings of being out of control. Depression can cause almost physical pain. Sometimes, to feel more in control or less pain, we do things that we think are helping. But, is it? The heaviness of trauma can be frightening, frustrating, and even lonely! Everyone has a right to be heard and feel comfortable within their own space. I'm an LGBTQIA+ therapist, with an eclectic, holistic therapeutic perspective. I consider YOU to be an expert in your life and growth. No one knows you better than yourself. Sometimes, we all just need a little guidance.

Seeking help can be difficult. Life’s pace can often catch us off guard. Even when things seem in order we can feel alone or out of sorts with internal worries. Whatever you are dealing with, I will engage with you directly. I will listen with empathy and offer counsel tailored to your individual concerns. Ultimately, we want our lives to matter. I specialize in working with individuals who are impacted by addiction; their own or someone close to them. I have over 20 years of experience working with these issues, including substance abuse, gambling, sex and codependency.

Hi, I’m Kim Lennon, LMFT. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, but you might also call me a self-love igniter and an emotional healer. I help people who want to feel better about themselves and their relationships, but feel stuck and not sure what to do. I help people gain freedom from the core issues that are weighing them down. I guide them on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and reprocessing old memories and emotional wounds so they can feel more confident, in control, and fulfilled in their lives and relationships.

I know what it's like to wonder if you're broken. You're feeling confused, frustrated, angry, and at war with yourself. I know you feel anxious all the time. That finding a direction for yourself is hard, because of the self-loathing that has become so normal for you, you don't even notice it half the time. I know that you know you "should" be accepting of your body and who you are, but you have tried in a million different ways and don't know how. So you get one more iced coffee; stay a little longer at work; binge that comfort show one more time, in an attempt to stave off the loneliness and pain.

Hello and welcome. As a marriage and family therapist I am grateful for the opportunity to work with clients providing a safe and supportive environment, navigating various challenges life brings our way. I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations over the past 8 years, supporting them through these challenges. Life has no prejudice in choosing whom obstacles afflict and when, hurdles enter each of our paths at different times. As a therapist, I am blessed to be in a position to provide support honoring your path.

I can assist the person/family in finding ways to address personal impairments that impact growth and vitality.

Need support to tackle some of life's difficulties? It is ok to ask for help sometimes. Many of the individuals and families who contact us are all looking for the same tools: learning to cope and reduce stress, overcoming trauma, and finding peace of mind. We help tackle everyday issues with an evidenced based behavioral approach. We help with marital/premarital counseling, individuals with depression, anxiety, or mood issues, children and teenage struggles and much more. We are ready to help with providing support and making positive changes. We are a group practice with many therapist options to choose from.

No matter your story, I will meet you at the point of your specific need. Whether you are a mother experiencing a perinatal mood disorder while desperately trying to hold on; if you are an adult having difficulty reconciling your needs for love and care with what have so far been disappointing and invalidating relationships; whether you feel like you have been anxious and depressed for longer than you can remember; or you struggle for your body to believe what your mind has heard a thousand times - that you are safe and valued and loved - I can help.

What your mind and body says about you can explain so much! As women we carry the stress of family, work, school, and trauma in our bodies. This impacts the way we feel about ourselves and the world around us. At times in our life stress grows and so does the strain on our overall wellness. This process of stress and pressure can cause us to long for relief from the cycle of stress, pain, psychological turmoil, and relational distress (think: aging parents, children of all ages, and partners).

Life can be quite an experience. Sometimes it goes along smoothly. We feel pretty happy and content. Other times it can become uncertain, even overwhelming. Handling all of the pressures and trying to find balance can become daunting. We may not do things as well as we used to and begin to feel that life is a struggle just to get through. Having support which allows you to find new and creative solutions can be just what is needed to help you get back on track.

Choosing to get help is a sometimes difficult and courageous decision, especially in these difficult times. As of March 2020, I have begun doing telehealth. I will try to help you to feel as comfortable as possible from our first contact. I know that the biggest compliment I can receive is to be told how “real” clients find me to be, and how understood they feel. I have been in practice in Redlands for more than 25 years, and I utilize various techniques, tailoring my interventions to meet the client’s needs. I believe that it is the relationship between the client and therapist that has the most to do with growth.

Even though I can not imagine how you are feeling right now, I do know that it must not be easy. It is inevitable to feel pain, loss, grief, stress or fear, but you don't have to be alone on your journey. Life can be very unexpected, and complicated at times. I want you to know that I am here and ready to walk alongside you through this stressful time. I can't make it all go away, but I can help you find ways to better manage it all. My goal is to really understand you and help you feel safe. To encourage you to build resiliency to be able to continue walking through this life stronger and happier. I am here for you!
