Life Coaching Therapists in Toluca Lake, CA

As Doctor of Clinical Psychology and Master of Spiritual Psychology, I am combining a larger spiritual perspective with clinical insight and life skill oriented pragmatism. Crisis is opportunity. We facilitate transition into your greater potential by calling forth your inherent resources. Healing comes first, so coaching the mind can become maximally efficient. Your growth in awareness can shift formerly 'unseen inner mechanics' - unresolved pain, limiting beliefs etc. Setting dormant energy and creativity free lets you experience ease in every day living and helps you create harmonious relationships with Self and the world.

Everyone has a story to tell, to share, and to shape. Let's discuss your story. Our work together will be a journey of exploring the source of your distress and how to alleviate it. I like to use a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques for faster results--and a more in-depth process (if needed, and if so desired) to explore lifelong issues to identify triggers and obstacles throughout lifespan development. Working together, we can find ways to unlock whatever it is that creates negative experiences and feelings in your life. The goal? Free yourself to live the life you want. annsaxon.com

I am truly passionate about helping others achieve ultimate success in all areas of life. Whether you are struggling with depression & anxiety, unresolved trauma, grief/loss or are navigating one of life’s many changes; my aim is to walk alongside you through the process of self-discovery while you gain the tools needed to not only survive, but thrive in your next phase of life. There is no struggle too big or too small. If you are seeking a space to work on your own personal development, free from judgment, while being seen, heard, motivated and challenged to dive a bit deeper, you have found the right place.

EMDR & TELEHEALTH! Trauma healing, holistic wellness, self-empowerment, stress management, balance, spirituality, and living authentically are at the core of my practice. My wellness awakening is about your ability to transform, grow, change, connect, and create a new pattern of thinking that aligns with your personal life vision. It is my hope that our meeting would be an opportunity for you to discover what it is you want in life and how to create the shifts within yourself to get to where you want to be. I look forward to experiencing life from your perspective and hope to help illuminate within you whatever you are seeking.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is basically David Rose meets early-00’s Britney (with a dash of Drag Race & a pinch of recycled WeHo go-go boy,) you’ve clicked on the right profile. But please don’t let my humor undercut the reverence & respect I have for the therapeutic process. Self-empowerment, radical acceptance & authentic human connection will be the cornerstone of our work. I utilize strength-based, affirmative & neuroscientific theory to guide us...but healing doesn't happen via theory. It lies in you -- your hopes, hardships, successes & infinite wisdom. Sometimes we'll laugh. Often, we'll cry. But either way...

Are you struggling to end the cycle of thinking that stops you from moving forward and having what you want in love and sex? Do you want to create happy, healthy relationships that are rooted in trust, security, intimacy, and great communication? Do you want a fulfilling sex life? For 20 years I’ve been in private practice and an expert on UK/US TV helping thousands of people just like you have whole-life success and happiness. You too can let go of the past,overcome limiting beliefs, reset thinking patterns, transform trauma, feel positive emotions, increase sexual enjoyment, and create a new version of yourself, one that you LOVE.

Do you wake up feeling depressed dreading to get through another day? Do you try to fill the void in your life with sensation-seeking behaviors: alcohol, drugs, food, sex, shopping, TV, video games, internet surfing, online gaming, gambling etc.? Have you lost touch with the aspirations and dreams that used to motivate and inspire you? Are your relationships troubled? I can help! Seeking therapy takes courage and the prospect of talking to a stranger can be intimidating. I relate to the discomfort you may experience and provide a confidential, non-judgmental, supportive space to work with you.

Depression, anxiety, loss, and change can leave us feeling disconnected, confused. It seems to me that we're all trying to be connected in ways that support our intentions and goals. Sometimes those connections - to our Self, our partners, our family and friends - get muddy or lost. I see therapy as a safe place to explore unfamiliar, at times uncomfortable, territory in order to reach for greater understanding and connection to Self and others. My approach is humanistic/existential with an emphasis on depth and transpersonal psychology.

I have years of experience counseling both individuals and couples. My clients gain insight, heal from trauma, find ways to communicate and remain in long-term committed relationships, and are better able to realize their life goals. Areas of specialization include issues relating to anxiety and depression. My work with grief includes healing from the loss of loved ones, divorce, job change, and changes brought by illness. I enjoy helping people envision a fulfilling retirement and to embrace change. I teach breathing and meditation as ways of lifting depression, managing anxiety, and finding peace.

At Boulevard Therapy, we believe that life is a journey, and that we often benefit sharing our journey with someone who can help us to navigate life's unexpected or unfamiliar territories. Often the journey can become more difficult when we are overwhelmed with life's stress and challenges, leaving us feeling immobilized, out of control, confused, and/or in despair. Sometimes another perspective is beneficial as we navigate these paths.

Asking for help from another person can be hard, but I see it as a sign of strength. Whether you have reached a point of crisis in your life or are simply looking for a safe space to explore your inner world, I want to help. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship issues, or are feeling stuck and frustrated by painful patterns that keep repeating in your life. Perhaps the vulnerable parts that have been kept hidden in the dark are ready to come out into the light.

Are you looking for change? Do you know you are capable of so much more but feel stuck? Do you feel anxious or stressed? Do you struggle with managing your emotions? I am here to help you build the life you want. I work with preteens, teens, and adults who are going through life transitions, experiencing relationship issues with self and others, grappling with challenging thoughts and emotions, and are motivated to create meaningful change in their lives.

Life has gotten more difficult for many of us. Some questions that I invite you to think about: Are you struggling with understanding and regulating your emotions? Are you worried that the ways you cope with stress and everyday life are harming your health or your relationships? Is your past keeping you from being in the present moment or affecting how you view the future? Do you struggle to feel a sense of worthiness and belonging? The skills you learn will help you with regaining control of things in your life. Whether you are a student or other working professional, you can find peace.

We are both physical and spiritual beings. It is when we forget to nurture each part that we lose our center and become out of balance. I have dedicated my life to understanding how our emotions impact our behavior and habits. I am a passionate student of the Mind-Body-Soul connection and approach therapy from a holistic point of view. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem/Self-image, Unblocking Creative Expression and Addictive Behavior.

Through the practice of Psychotherapy, I will assist you in identifying the root cause of your current struggles in an effort to break toxic patterns that no longer serve you.

Is depression or anxiety affecting your relationships or job? Do you need help developing your creative potential? Are you coping with illness? Using my experience as a UCLA family medicine psychologist and a published author/creative writing instructor, I've helped countless people navigate relationships, jobs, cope with illness, or launch their writing careers. I am uniquely equipped to help women, writers, and the chronically ill client. As a graduate of Howard University, I was trained to treat culturally diverse clients. Using a combination of CBT and Psychodynamic therapies, I treat adolescents, adults, and couples.

I offer brief, solution-focused support. This means we'll look for the unique tools that will help you to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek to explore & resolve issues of trauma, anxiety & depression, self-esteem & interpersonal conflicts and all sorts of blockages that limit satisfying ways of living. Together we'll strengthen your capacity to manage difficult feelings while finding ways to nurture the deep, intuitive voice of your authentic self. My working style is gently direct & highly focused on your goals. Indeed, our sessions will create breakthroughs during and outside of the office.

As a therapist, I create a warm, safe, nonjudgmental environment for children, adolescents, adults, and couples to be able to open up and share their feelings and make sense of what is troubling them. I strive to empower people and help them realize the strength and potential they possess. My experience has prepared me well to be able to interact and connect with a wide variety of individuals from diverse backgrounds. I am especially confident in my ability to connect with children/teens that are resistant to or skeptical of therapy.
