Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Torrance, CA

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood. Given that each individual is unique, and no one issue is ever the same among different people, our approach is integrative and tailored to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". we strive to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment for patients to learn, grow, explore, challenge, and to live the life they want to be living. We specialize in working with adults - individual, couples, and family - with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Tearing up or having crying spells? Family, relationships or work becoming more challenging? Or maybe, past situations are now causing feelings of sadness, anger, or shame because you can't forget the memory though you try. These are things that many people deal with on daily basis, however you don't have to do it alone. Therapy is an opportunity to learn ways of coping with things that can be emotionally draining. Counseling is not only what I do, but what I love! You will have the opportunity to share your thoughts in an environment free from judgment or criticism.

Would you like to transform your life by gaining new insights into what makes you tick and what barriers prevent you from moving forward? My practice focuses on healthy relationships with ourselves, our partners, children, family co-workers, and others around us. Relationships are so essential to our well being that they often influence our moods. They can be the basis of our feelings of safety, pleasure and satisfaction or the source of anger, bitterness and sadness. Often we are ambivalent and both positive and negative feelings exist at the same time.
