Divorce Therapists in West Hollywood, CA

My approach to therapy is relational and authentic. Research suggests ‘successful’ therapy is less about modality than the therapeutic alliance: I offer proven techniques from psychodynamic, CBT, and somatic therapies to help you cultivate what we all want--good feelings that last. If your history includes neglect/abuse or other forms of trauma, you may learn ways to calm your nervous system, tolerate difficult feeling states, and thrive at work and in healthy relationships.

I've been helping individuals and couples transform their lives for over 25 years and am the author of two books, Living Like You Mean It and Loving Like You Mean It. My overall objective is to help you experience meaningful change and achieve your goals in the least amount of time needed. Unlike more traditional approaches that focus primarily on talking, I help you have new emotional experiences that enable you to truly resolve core issues, move forward unencumbered, and, ultimately, have the life and relationships you really want.

Sometimes we need a little help to reclaim or find our inner strength. I believe we all possess the wisdom to succeed somewhere within our psyche. My goal in therapy is to help clients overcome the obstacles that hinder them on their path. I tend to look for the strengths in individuals and my objective is to embrace each client without judgment in order to create a safe environment. I also believe it is important for one to feel heard and validated for their experience in order to move beyond their blocks.

Finding clarity that aligns with your heart, body and mind can be hard. Feeling stuck in those dark chapters of life can bring up difficulty with productivity, isolation and loneliness.

Our world's been shaken up in ways we've never imagined. We're understandably anxious, trying to cope. Jobs, family, illness. How do we hold it together? Are you looking for someone to talk to who can walk through this labyrinth with you? I specialize in trauma, perhaps I can help. You may be having problems with your partner, kids or parents-- most significantly with yourself.

I work with individuals and couples to enhance communication, creativity and a core sense of self.

As a director of multiple facilities, being a professor, writing books, and presenting treatment modalities across this country, I missed why I came into this field over 20 years ago.

My name is Sharon Halimi. I work with adolescents and adults to help each client become connected with their 'true self' while addressing core issues on deep levels. I work with clients within a psychodynamic framework, and focus on each client's unresolved or unprocessed issues and conflicts that he or she may not be consciously aware of. Focusing on the unconscious aspects of each client helps he or she develop increased understanding of their thoughts and feelings.

Welcome to Accelerated Psychology. I created this practice to offer cutting edge psychotherapies and neuoscientific treatments in a warm and compassionate environment. Integrating neuroscientific and psychotherapeutic treatments is often the most effective path to psychological healing and growth, because the two approaches work synergistically to create a brain state that is most receptive to treatment. For over 25 years, I have specialized in helping those who suffer from mild or severe anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, ADHD, or post-traumatic stress, and helping survivors and witnesses of terror from around the world.

Congratulations on taking the FIRST courageous step toward dealing with your PAIN that is no longer working for you; or perhaps you like to grow and learn more about yourself; or you want to achieve HEALING from grief/loss related to major life changes.

Understanding and dealing with addiction ( that could be generational) and facing feelings of blame shame guilt denial anger, and depression ALL by yourself is hard. By giving a non-judgmental and an empathetic therapist a CHANCE and Therapy time, change IS possible.

I am a Mindfulness and Trauma Resilience trainer who believes success and happiness result from a balanced mindset. Being stuck in unhealthy patterns, failing to accomplish the change we desire, or sustaining the nurturing relationships we deserve are all issues we expect to resolve on our own, but when we can't we feel defeated. Therapy is support that helps unearth our own best solutions while increasing skills and practices that grow fulfillment.

Being able to have meaningful relationships in your life takes effort and can make a difference in the difficult situations that you may face during a lifetime. Sometimes the ghosts from our past make it hard to trust and communicate with our loved ones. Your past and present environmental stressors and relationships can shape who you are today and create feelings of depression and anxiety. At times, doing anything to cope seems necessary. However, with therapy, you can find those strengths that you already have and bring them to light in order to change your quality of life for the better.

In my mind, the ideal psychologist is validating, transparent, practical, and experienced. As both a board certified CBT and DBT therapist, I teach tangible tools to get "unstuck" based on scientific research within a nonjudgmental, warm, environment. My hope is to help you move toward the life you want and create some distance from the thoughts and behaviors that might get in your way. My goal isn't only to help you feel better, but to holistically live better. I really enjoy working with college and graduate students, people pursuing life changes (such as career, relationship), and individuals facing medical problems.

I offer phone and video sessions to people struggling with relationship challenges or going through an overwhelming life transition. These difficulties can bring about anxiety, hopelessness, and a sense of isolation, but you do not have to face them alone. I want to understand what you are going through, and together, begin to create conditions allowing for change where it would be beneficial. We will determine how to make adversity more manageable, and work toward a sense of competence, relief, and even joy. Taking the first step toward making changes in your life is the beginning of a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
