Therapists in Yorba Linda, CA

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist providing treatment to individuals, couples, and families, who are dealing with challenges that affect their relationships, mental health, and well-being. I provide services in both English and Polish. I am dedicated and passionate to help others. I provide a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment, in which clients feel understood and validated. I work with clients who have suffered from a wide range of clinical acute and chronic psychological disorders, PTSD, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, adjustment and neurotic reactions, alcohol and drug addictions, sexually based concerns, and emotional problems.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder? Perhaps there is something else, like issues with focus and you wonder whether you may have ADHD? As a psychiatric PA, I specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, substance use disorders, and more. I approach each patient with empathy, respect, and a dedication to personalized care.

All meaningful lives involve pain, there is no escaping this. Even if we cannot avoid pain, we can learn to rise above it and still create a life worth living. Life will never be unbearable due to circumstances, but only from a lack of purpose and meaning. My job is to help you look at your situation differently, and to develop a committed action plan to make the positive changes you have been wanting to. Like the Serenity Prayer says, we need to accept the things we cannot change, and have courage to change what we can, starting with ourselves.

As a therapist, I see myself guiding people on their life path by overcoming such obstacles as depression, anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, and helping them to experience instead the beauty and warmth of their inner rainbow, of claiming joy as their birthright. I love working especially with women at a major transition in their lives: whether from young adulthood to womanhood, from motherhood to 'empty nest' and, ultimately, menopause; women in quest for healthy relationships and a greater meaning in their lives. Spiritual growth, creativity, finding one's purpose - are important issues for everybody to be able to live life to its fullest. I weave my work with a variety of therapeutic approaches including Holistic Healing, Dreamwork and Art Therapy. I'll be happy to discuss any needs you might have to see which modality - group or/and individual therapy - would be the best for you.

Therapy is about learning to love yourself and grow despite your mistakes. It is about finding the joy in giving without expecting anything in return. It is about welcoming your struggles with the same strength and enthusiasm that you welcome your victories, for it is through our struggles that we grow. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
