Transpersonal Therapists in San Clemente, CA

Like the Egyptian Phoenix, who rises from the ashes, people have the ability to regenerate themselves from traumatic & negative life experiences, & transform their pain & hardship into sources of strength. It is my role as a psychotherapist to be present with you on your personal journey of growth & self-discovery & to help facilitate a deeper, more authentic connection with yourself & others in your life. Through inner work cultivating & encouraging deeper self-awareness along with compassion for one's self & others, clients can connect with their own innate sense of self & wholeness.

Hi, I am Chaarenne Torris, a licensed clinical social worker ( LCSW21541). I have been working as a psychotherapist for more than 40 years, during which time I have encountered a large variety of people, places, and issues. To provide help and healing for my clients I have studied and completed many intensive training programs in a variety of professional fields, in order to provide a holistic and integrated healing experience for my clients. I am a music therapist/singer/songwriter recording artist, Integral Yoga Teacher, Insight Meditation Teacher, Homeopathy Practitioner, and Microcurrent Healing Practitioner.

We are here to help you heal! Are you needing some help navigating your life journey? We are here to walk alongside you while you heal. You are not what has happened to you. Your trauma and pain does not define you. Sometimes in order to separate from our story we must tell our story, understand it, and truly be heard and acknowledged. As your therapy team we will help you to navigate your own healing journey. Whether you have experienced trauma, are struggling with lack of purpose, feeling empty or alone, or experiencing feeling fragmented or broken. You are not alone and healing is possible! In office, outdoors or with horses.

Congratulations on making the decision to seek therapy – it's a brave and important step towards improving your life. We all have moments when things just don't seem right, and the weight of our struggles can become too much to bear alone. But the great news is that you don't have to face these challenges on your own. Today, you're choosing to address those deeper issues that you might have been putting off for too long. It's like opening the door to a room in your heart that you've kept locked away. It's time to let some light in and start the process of healing and growth. Your journey towards a better life begins here.

I am an Attachment based therapist well versed with severe levels of trauma, anxiety and depression due to family systems, addiction, adoption or other struggles. I have over 20 years experience as a dancer and dance studio owner from which I draw upon for a creative, integrative approach in therapy and fresh approach to understanding my clients. I am also fortunate enough to work collaborately with another therapist and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners to provide wraparound services for clients all in our beautiful office space. I believe in exploring all avenues and taking innovative approaches in therapy to aid the client in healing and personal growth.

I am deeply dedicated to helping individuals and couples understand and resolve their problems in order to live more satisfying, fulfilling lives. As a result of 45 years of experience, coupled with extensive training, I am rapidly able to assess what is at the core of my client's difficulties. I then use a holistic approach that is a combination of education and therapy, which enables clients to apply what they have learned and ultimately become their own therapists. I believe that the problems we encounter in life are always learning opportunities, and that learning is a lifetime process.

"The future depends on what we do in the present." Mahatma Gandhi As a therapist I use Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused Therapy to help my clients explore and resolve current and past issues holding them back.

I reinforce personal and professional growth,self awareness and life fulfillment.

During my 30+ years of clinical practice I find myself working particularly effective with important life transition stages, i.e. adolescents, young adult, mid-life, later-life. I view issues of loss, marriage, divorce, identity, vocation and aging as doorways to a deeper and more actualized life. Out of intensive study, practice, and my own life experiences, I meet the client at their own unique crossroad. Together we engage in a journey of symptom-relief, discovery and new possibilities. I am an active and engaging therapist...learning from hundreds of private practice clients & families & additional hundreds of agency participants.

I believe the area that I am best suited in treating is the addictive mind. Assisting in changing the way that you perceive problems and engaging you in the importance and meaning of what you are experiencing. Making meaning of our suffering and losses is most important. I view most issues presented by my clients as traumatic, accompanied with shock, struggling to make sense of what is happening. Whether it be a divorce, a death, or a change of circumstance we are required to 'change'. Developing flexabilty, humor and courage for life is my goal in our work.
