Domestic Abuse Therapists in Yucaipa, CA

Hello, my name is Dr. Colleen Casady. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in CA. I graduated from USC with my Doctorate in Social Work. I have been working as a Social Worker for more than 25 years. The majority of my experience has been helping people who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, abandonment and loneliness, grief / loss, and the challenges. I too have come from a difficult family dynamic and have struggled with mental health issues. I believe there is a lot to gain from living through issues and coming out ahead. You are not alone in your circumstance. I can help.

My name is Seth Scher, and I am a LMFT who works in Northern California. I have worked for several non-profit community mental health programs, providing psychotherapy and case management services to those who have struggled with issues of trauma, substance abuse, and mental illness. I have worked in behavioral health for more than 35 years and have been a licensed therapist for 15 years. The areas that I have worked in are relationships, substance abuse, mental illness, and trauma. In addition, in the past 10 years, I have worked in geriatrics (elders) and the family challenges that can occur while caring for dementia.

Their motivation is to regain their dignity and self-worth after the trauma they've survived.

“Trauma creates change you DON’T choose. Healing is about creating change you CAN choose.”- Michelle Rosenthal. Trauma is an experience, not an event. Every human will experience some form of trauma in their lifetime. We can’t compare one trauma to the next as it’s real to the individual experiencing it and we all deal with our experiences differently. Trauma is what happens inside of us because of what has happened to us. It takes courage and effort to move beyond the pain that has maintained control of our thoughts and behaviors.
