Stress Therapists in Seal Beach, CA
In a frequently emotion-phobic world that is increasingly productivity-driven, often pushes "more is better" messaging and encourages endless striving, letting ourselves be human can be hard. Whether your current challenges are related to an acute stressor or tied to early attachment wounds, we all have the capacity to navigate hardships, heal, and emerge more resilient, connected and empowered in our lives. I enjoy working with adults and older adults on issues related to grief/loss, life-transitions, interpersonal stress, parenting, people pleasing, and more.

You’ve spent years trying to make life make sense and to find where you fit in the world always feeling like an outsider, different from your family, or that you don’t belong. You bounce around from one hobby, friend group, or idea to another. Perhaps, your identity feels like it’s been chosen for you, and you’re ready to break free from expectations. Maybe you were praised your whole life for being a team player or high achiever in school or work, but the cost of that very thing has you full of stress and anxiety at home with partners, loved ones, and friends—seeking out external validation for shit you don’t really care about.

Now offering emergency Intensive Couples Counseling!

Congratulations on taking this major step towards seeking a higher quality of life, whether for yourself or a loved one! While many people can identify the source(s) of their concerns, others feel a vague, lingering discontent but have difficulty finding the words to describe what they are seeking. Your concerns require a unique, targeted approach to building goals. Areas of focus might be intentional life reconstruction, blended and bi/multi-cultural families, our LGBTQ communities, helping resolve stress related to grief/loss/trauma, multi-generational ripple effects of mental illness and trauma, and concerns specific to aging.

My specialties and areas of interest are: depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, communication, stress management and relationship conflicts.
Greetings from Frank Smith, MFT. Let me offer a truism: whether positive or negative, most behavior is learned. Behavior often results in patterns. Those patterns can be positive and life affirming. But they can also be maladaptive and impact our self-esteem, happiness and relationships. You may be wondering...why can't I break these destructive patterns? I can help you unravel where they came from. Such awareness is the first step toward better emotional health. Let me be your psychological navigator to help you let go of the past and have a better and more fulfilling life.

My focus as a therapist is to help others on their journey to self-improvement and symptom reduction. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief/loss, life transitions, parenting, and relationship challenges. I have a strong background in trauma related issues and can incorporate EMDR into treatment. The primary framework from which I operate is based on Attachment Theory. This framework helps to analyze the way we relate and connect to others, since our primary relationships play a vital role to the way we view the world.
