In Person Therapists in Windsor, CA

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or a continuation of your therapy journey, I want to acknowledge the time you are taking to support yourself by seeking change. I think of therapy as a commitment to making space for things that often don’t get enough space in everyday life— space settle into oneself, to take pause, to be witnessed, to be with experiences and support awareness as it emerges. I believe that awareness leads to choice, and that in therapy we can co-create a space to explore your experiences, building greater awareness of needs, boundaries, and patterns of experience.

I have had many years of experience dealing with trauma, including treatment of Complex and Developmental Stress. I am comfortable with both men and women, dealing with issues ranging from life transition, divorce, narcissistic parents and spouses, addiction and codependency. We will discuss self-limiting beliefs and behaviors affecting your mind, body, and soul.

I have a special focus on anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, grief, and trauma. I also have experience working with neurodivergent humans. Journey inward with me, Kristen Picard, Associate Clinical Social Worker, Reiki Master Teacher, and Emotional Intelligence Counselor, on the path of healing through disconnect to unconditional self-love.

Trauma can cause a person to get stuck in the past. With therapy, healing can begin to allow you to live fully in the present, with less triggers and fear. I work with adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma, or who are suffering from depression and anxiety. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Internal Family Systems Model in my work.

I believe that being understood by someone who is compassionate and knowledgeable is essential to becoming the best person we can be. We can be our own worst critics and sometimes it helps to have someone experienced alongside us in our journey. I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in working with teens and adults who have a wide range of issues. I specialize in treating issues related to addiction and substance abuse.

I support couples and individuals seeking to make a change in their life. I hold value in the belief that everyone has their own internal strength to solve their issues and that sometimes it takes a different perspective to help guide you towards taking those steps to improving your quality of life. I work with a variety of conflicts that come up in relationships from infidelity to premarital counseling.

My passion is to assist children and adolescents to gain skills in order to manage difficult emotions and create healthy relationships in a safe and non-judgmental environment, so they can better manage and understand life’s difficulties and complexities.

Hi I’m Chaela, owner of Connecting Couples Therapy. I work with couples and individuals in various degrees of relationship distress and I help them develop a more secure attachment style. I love helping clients find real ways of connecting more deeply and authentically in order to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. During times of stress, unmet needs can bring out the worst in a person. I help couples to recognize the root of relational insecurity and to develop security both internally and interpersonally. I also work with couples on the brink of or in the process of divorce to create secure coparenting practices.

Are you especially hard on yourself, finding it difficult to prioritize your own needs? Or perhaps you are striving to express your voice and find a deeper sense of confidence and belonging. If you find yourself feeling unmotivated, directionless, or unclear about your purpose, it would be my honor to hold space for you. I also have a particular knack with helping adolescents who are acting out or struggling with school, relationships, or mental health.

We all experience life through different lenses, and these lenses impact how we navigate the world. My passion is to help children, adolescents and families learn how to manage their emotions and feelings while learning how to communicate effectively and develop healthy coping skills

Starting therapy is a big step - trusting a complete stranger with your vulnerabilities, hopes, and anxieties is no small ask. With that in mind, I aim to meet my clients where they're at in order to effect change in a sustainable way. I work with couples and individuals to unpack the origins of their behavioral and cognitive patterns and understand how those are impacting their current relationships and daily lives.

We all want to lead a life in which our life dreams and inner potential are fulfilled. Sometimes life, and we ourselves, get in the way of pursuing these dreams and potentials. As a marriage and family therapist, I can help with these challenges whether they are within your relationships, career or your inner self. I am a client-focused therapist. I work in an engaged, supportive and relational manner. I use an integrative and holistic style in my therapeutic approach and take into consideration attachment, somatic, psychodynamic and mindfulness modalities. My theoretical orientation is inspired by Gottman, Imago and PACT.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California as well as a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, Canada. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology (M.Ed.) from OISE, University of Toronto, Canada. Clients come to see me for help with anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, grief, loss, isolation, trauma, family & relationship issues, loneliness, sexual orientation worries, gender identity concerns, LGBT counselling, addiction issues, etc. Services are offered in English, Hindi,Malayalam or Tamil.

My work as a therapist revolves around creating a relationship that is safe enough to encourage honest reflection and focused enough to encourage challenge and change. Research continues to show that the most important factor in successful therapy is a good connection between the therapist and client. My passion is to establish a strong, safe alliance with you and to be your companion in finding and activating your innate wisdom and resilience. I will encourage an honest exploration of your thoughts, feelings, and passions.

When you’re feeling stuck, you want to move. You need to. You may be feeling left with complicated emotions that keep you from connections to others, yourself & the world around you. Being stuck in painful patterns is a physiological experience, not a personality trait. We might feel both grief and relief in distancing ourselves from pain. We can honor that survival strategies are adaptive, while acknowledging that they take a toll & come at a cost. We'll work together in a safe way by using evidence based practices, such as EMDR & other therapies, to relieve the nervous system, integrate unresolved memories & support mind/body.
