Being told to trust the process in talk therapy can be frustrating, finding a somatic therapist that validates the connection between mind and body, with trauma informed work, can be a more effective way to heal and move forward. If you are dealing with the effects of childhood wounds, like difficulty trusting others or maintaining relationships, having overwhelming emotions or anxiety, or low energy/ motivation, healing younger parts in therapy can resolve these issues. I use both DBT and Internal Family Systems Therapy to provide a structured and collaborative approach, being transparent about each step of therapy.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I have been a medical social worker for about 30 years and have worked in every capacity in the medical field.
I treat adults as well as adolescents and children, most frequently through individual therapy. I also work with couples. I work with people with a wide range of problems and especially enjoy working with people experiencing anxiety in relationships or at work . I also enjoy working with people who are unhappy and don't know why, and people who are repeating self-defeating patterns they feel unable to change. Meeting with a well-trained and experienced therapist can be a powerful and effective way of strengthening one's confidence and developing a personal sense of control over one's life.

My objective is to listen, be present, connect, provide feedback and reflect on what may help your life become more rewarding, less stressed, anxious or stuck, more empowered, or even reinvented! Every person is unique and together we will explore your strengths and the best options that will enhance your well-being. I am non-judgmental and create a friendly environment that provides an opportunity for us to talk about your difficulties and expectations. While doing so, I will be sure to assess that my way of working is appropriate for you and that you feel comfortable working with me.

It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let us help guide you through this journey!

It takes courage to start therapy. The very fact that you’re considering it probably means you’re getting ready to make some significant changes in your life. My approach to therapy focuses on understanding and accepting you as you are right now, and creating a safe space where you can figure out where you want to go from here. We’ll work together as you get ready to make the sometimes tough (and rewarding) changes that will give you a better life. As a therapist, I am guided by intuition as well as research, as reflected in my books "Eco-Anxiety and Pandemic Distress," "Eco-Anxiety and Planetary Hope," and "Transgender India."

Therapy is a collaborative journey. I believe in holding space for your story while we work together on achieving your goals. When you come to a therapy session, my hope is that you can come as you are, and be your authentic self. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust and asks clients to practice vulnerability in order to examine those parts of us that are no longer serving us. Through this work, we can then discover practical tools that we can use to grow and overcome our biggest challenges.

I'm a passionate LCSW with 8 years of experience, specializing in guiding women through life transitions, grief, anxiety, trauma, post-partum challenges. The women clients I work with have such concerns as trauma, grief and loss, life changes/transitions, anxiety, postpartum disorders, assaults, and accidents. I am shifting my practice to engage in mainly EMDR treatment. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is a type of therapy that can help address symptoms of trauma through eye movements or alternative movements such as tapping. My approach to EMDR incorporates aspects of somatic movement.

Hi! So I have over 20 years of experience in the field of psychology. My background in dance led me organically to become a certified dance therapist. I worked with people struggling, emotionally and sometimes physically. As a psychotherapist with a body oriented and psychodynamic approach, I carry an appreciation of how the mind and body are profoundly connected.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive and honest environment where we can explore and address your concerns. It is through open and honest communication that we can foster trust and understanding. I help my clients to define their goals and achieve them through the following process: addressing the challenges, developing coping strategies and giving tools while learning to recognize and appreciate their successes. I do not believe one size fits all but work to acknowledge and see what you need. I work from a mind body approach to understand that how we think affects how we feel and how we perceive the world and our lives.
