Female Therapists in San Jacinto, CA

Hey! My name's Elana. I attended Spelman College and earned my Master's degree in Social Work and Education from UCLA. I have experience providing individual, family, and group therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Seeking Safety. Currently working with adult individuals seeking assistance managing presenting symptoms, life stressors, boundaries, interpersonal relationships trauma, self-worth and/or ineffective coping mechanisms, etc.

My therapy sessions are conducted over the phone! It is so easy to get stuck in our past or lost in the future and we forget to be mindful of what is going on in the present. Our past can shape who we are and how we perceive our lives today and this can easily get us caught up in a vicious cycle of various emotional and mental struggles. The importance of rebuilding a relationship with ourselves is a critical component in life and can provide a different outlook to mood, behavioral and personality disorders. Let us never underestimate the power that we hold within ourselves!

I strongly believe therapy is a vulnerable and important place, in which you should feel heard, understood and safe while also being open to new challenges for growth. My goal as your therapist is to provide you with support, positive regard, compassion, guidance, a level of accountability, a listening ear to help you find the strength and courage to confront and make sense of difficult emotions and experiences you might be experiencing so you can thrive in life.

My passion for therapy is being able to help others navigate life and meet their maximum potential. I would love to be able to walk alongside you in your journey of self-discovery and healing. More often than not making the call is the biggest acomplishment.

Kristal Montoya, LMFT, University of Southern California MS I believe therapy is a place where a client can feel safe to express his/her/their concerns without being judged. This is a place where you can come and talk about things you can't talk about with anyone else. I specialize in teens and young adults (however, I have worked with all ages, including the elderly). Having worked in education for 16 years and now having a private practice, I strive to integrate the knowledge I have gained to support my clients.

Channeling through life moments despite how troubling, traumatic or challenging they are requires some sort of "emotional grit." These experiences create responses and behaviors that are not healthy for us - anxiety, depression, impulsivity, anger, addiction etc. At times, these situations are out of our control and stem from our relationship experiences from childhood to now. There is room for growth despite what we have been through. We need Empathy that is genuine and a safe space to HEAL as we go in depth into our experiences and desire to create a value in us as we take time to "breathe, process, and heal," without bias!

Hi! I am Kristy Labardee, LMFT and my therapy approach offers personalized paths. I use humanistic therapy to foster self-acceptance and overcome challenges. CBT helps manage emotions and behaviors, while EMDR tackles trauma's impact on the present. My approach to therapy offers several paths. In humanistic therapy, I create a space for self-acceptance through empathy and validation, guiding clients to overcome challenges and live fulfilling lives. For those seeking to manage emotions and behaviors, I utilize CBT to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, equipping clients with skills to tackle anxiety, depression, and more.

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I provide individual therapy to adults who are having a hard time managing their day-to-day life due to anxiety, depression, and trauma.

As a strength-based and solution-focused clinician, it brings me great pleasure when my clients can navigate through their mental health challenges and utilize their mental health toolbox to show up as their authentic selves.

Hello. My name is Paula Mierzejewski, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I see children, adolescents and adults up to the age of 65. My specialties are anxiety and depression. I started my practice later in life and believe my life's experiene makes me a better therapist. I used to work in a law firm and developed severe migraines and knew I needed to move onto a new career. So at 57, I started my journey in graduate school and finished when I was 60. What drives me to do this work is that I know how debilitating anxiety and depression are.
