Therapists Beginning With A in California

Hello! I'm Aamber Harrell, a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. With a warm and non-judgmental approach, I strive to create a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and concerns. As a firm believer in the power of human connection, I am committed to building a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients. I have worked extensively with diverse populations, including adults, teenagers, and couples, addressing various issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Are you feeling stress? Struggling with depression? Is your anxiety preventing you from enjoying your life? Life can be difficult and sometimes we just need someone to listen and guide us or offer fresh ideas that could help us reach a level of satisfaction and improve our quality of life. Ideally, someone with motivation, an open mind and eager to invest in their wellbeing and work on themselves to improve their life and experience joy. I understand the difficulties of maintaining a work-life balance so I offer early morning, late evening and weekend appointments. I accept Aetna, Oxford, Oscar, and United Health Care and Cigna.

My main focus is on relationships, your relationship with yourself, and with others. I believe the key to having healthier children and families is to strengthen and improve the above mentioned relationships, and to build a strong relationship bond between parent(s) and their child(ren). My style is energetic, straightforward and honest with a touch of humor. I have many years experience working in the group setting with men or women around their anger awareness/management and relationship issues.

Often parents do not know who to turn to when behavioral issues occur. Behaviors of concern could include not eating properly, having friendship issues, not doing well in school, sleeping issues, hyperactivity, aggressiveness towards others. We can help when your pediatrician or psychiatrist cannot help. Our expertise is in behavioral health with engaging in a playful positive reinforcement strategy through use of the science of behavior analysis. The parents become partners in our process to help their children. It i our pleasure to do so

Growing up, my mother struggled with bipolar disorder and OCD. The challenges of mental illness greatly impacted her quality of life and the lives of those who cared most for her.

At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of the nuances and intricacies of OCD enables us to diagnose and treat it effectively.

You really can do this. You really can heal. I haven't always felt as Anchored & Happy as I am now--for 25 years-I studied practiced & would be honored to teach you.

Is your life not where you want it to be? Change is hard. While doing things differently can feel uncomfortable at first, it is possible to do, and becomes more comfortable with time. Change often applies to the behaviors we engage in, or the thoughts that we have.

We are passionate about helping people get unstuck and move forward in their lives. Our approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, and includes warmth, compassion and humor.
