UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Fillmore, San Francisco, CA

My name is Ariel Wilcoxen. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Southern California and I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults, couples, families, and adolescents. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. My theoretical orientation is comprised of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), Adlerian, and Transactional analysis. I also have experience with Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and reality therapy to assist with guiding clients toward healing and/or achieving their personal goals.

Welcome! I’m Lisabeth Castro-Smyth, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) providing telehealth therapy. I specialize in support for life transitions, complex trauma, anxiety, stress, attachment ruptures, depression, and grief. I have extensive experience accompanying survivors on their healing journeys, and have served children, youth, and adults in diverse settings for over a decade.

Have you noticed feeling stuck, confused, and frustrated? Symptoms of trauma, depression, and anxiety are difficult to face, and naturally we want to avoid them. But avoidance keeps us stuck in unhelpful patterns that make it difficult to fully enjoy life. Once you understand how and why your mind has created these patterns, you gain the ability to break free from them, and live a more intentional and joyful life.

Are you stuck? Do you feel like a deer in headlights? Do you feel like you are moving through life just surviving, not really living? Are you constantly dealing with emergencies and putting out fires in your life but never really getting anything you want to do accomplished? Or do you feel lost and without direction, like a ship in the middle of a storm? Sometimes life is hard and painful. And sometimes, the pain or the trauma we have suffered stops us dead in our tracks and keeps us from moving forward. This can be worse for Blacks or those that are being triggered by racial or systemic trauma. Struggling can tire us out!

I believe self care is one of the most important tools to maintain mental wellbeing, so I emphasize mental wellness through prioritizing your needs. Practicing change and use of healthy outlets helps individuals cope with stress, keep you grounded, happy and enable the best version of yourself. The challenges of daily stressors lead to feeling helpless and loss of sense of self. The clients I work with are searching for self awareness and identity and want to achieve a sense of peace and stability. These individuals want to gain self autonomy and mental wellness for the purpose of tranquility and whole health.

Welcome. Thank you for your interest in my private practice. I believe we all have the ability to live our lives to the fullest. Sometimes we develop patterns of thinking or behaviors that keep us stuck and unhappy in our life. My goal is to help my clients overcome whatever is holding them back from feeling satisfied and moving forward in life. Clients come with different difficulties in mood, fears, past-trauma, self esteem, behavioral issues, difficulties with having healthier life style, or other issues. We work together to help you move forward which might mean feeling uncomfortable, making changes, and facing fears.

I work collaboratively with clients to make sure all their needs are met while considering their cultural diversity and intergenerational/systemic trauma using a trauma-informed and attachment approach.”

Do you desire to be authentically seen and heard? Are you seeking a safe therapeutic space, and support in your journey of growth? I strive to offer individuals like yourself a safe space to show up as your genuine and authentic self and be met exactly where you are. We will partner together to identify your unique and desired treatment goals, and take steps to actualize the life you aspire to live. Much of my clinical work has been working with individuals suffering from symptoms of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, substance use, ADHD, eating disorders, adjustment issues, relational conflict, and thought disorders.

My ideal clients are ready for change! They have had enough of feeling stuck. I work well with adults, parents, teens, LGBTQ+, parents of children with different needs, people dealing with anxiety or depression, people feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns and couples. I, also, love working with other therapists! I have a long history with working with the ND community (autistics and ADHDers).

Hello there! Do you ever feel as though there is much on your mind but no one to share it with? Like no one will understand what it is that you have to say? Are your thoughts and feelings leading to you feeling alone, depressed, or anxious? Or perhaps you've experienced trauma in your life and it is not resolved? Let me be the one to listen, support, and assist you in your journey.

When you are looking for a path forward through major life transitions, you may need some help staying on track. In therapy we can find your next step forward by processing whats holding you back, working on effective coping and communication skills, creating healthy boundaries & renewing personal priorities.

Hi, I'm Jenavieve, an LCSW with over 17 years of experience. I work with First Responders, Veterans, and adults (18-60) that have experienced traumatic events. I work best with individuals who are motivated and ready to work through and unpack their wounds, regrets, shame, hurt. I provide a safe place to connect and ensure that a trusting environment is in place before we begin to do the heavy work. If you're ready, please give me a call. My job is to help you figure out what is keeping you stuck from moving forward and living the life you want.

Are you waking up every day and realizing that your life is not where you want it to be? Are you feeling stuck in certain areas of your life and not able to find a solution? I am able to help you by providing you a safe environment where you can express yourself without feeling judged or criticized.  I have been helping people find peace, calm, and hope in their lives. 

***Currently accepting new Clients*** Welcome, stressed out moms! Life can be complicated, and sometimes you need to take a minute (or maybe 50) to talk to someone who will truly listen. I strongly believe in the words of Carl Rogers and treat all my clients with "unconditional positive regard." In particular, I know how hard it is to be a mom. We deserve to feel good, and our children will also do better when we feel better. Therapy helps us to feel unburdened. It allows us to see our challenges objectively and therefore tackle life's problems with more ease.

Increased insight and an empowering outcome. Working through identifying the core, root challenge that is influencing any distress.

Currently Accepting New Clients- I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. It is a safe place where someone can come and talk about what has been going on for them without judgment or shame. I proved a space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood. As we explore your world we will be creating a style designed specifically to meet your needs and goals.

Life is filled with transitions, ups, downs, and uncertainties. However, there is one thing for certain; no one should feel like they have nowhere to turn, or like they have to face their fears, challenges, and anxieties alone. If you are you're ready to take the steps toward lasting change. I'm here to help. I help people who are ready to do the work. This takes consistency, open mindedness, deep honesty, and accountability. I find when people have someone to genuinely listen, validate their experiences and magnify their strengths, they discover the answers within themselves that inspire them to flourish, grow, and change.
