I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist eager to collaborate with other mental health professionals to provide comprehensive and holistic treatment to clients struggling with pervasive disorders. I have extensive experience working with adults and Transitional Age Youth. I currently work with children in the age group 0-15 with their families. I have demonstrated skills in creating and implementing effective and individualized treatment plans and over 6 years of experience with Department of Mental Health standards and paperwork. In addition, I have foundational coursework and training in Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

My passion is to help adults, couples and teens resolve troubling thoughts that lead to challenging feelings like fear, anxiety and guilt, as these are the emotions that negatively impact how people live their lives. I create a supportive environment where clients feel safe and free to express the worries, fears and barriers that have interfered with achieving life's goals. My focus is to help clients improve self-esteem, strengthen relational bonds, as well as improve emotional self-control and listening skills. Using a collaborative approach, I assist clients with resolving unhealthy family and social relationships.

My Goal is to provide a space that feels warm, non-judgmental and more importantly helpful. I work with adults, teens, and children who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. I believe that navigating these experiences feels better when we get to work through them with someone else. I offer Talk Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness Techniques, Art Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help resolve conflict, improve communication, and work to resolve trauma with a focus on early attachment and developmental needs. I also offer parent coaching to help with challenging behaviors at school or in the home.

Counseling can be a rewarding experience. I enjoy working with individuals, families, and children. I have been in private practice and with agencies for foster care and adoption. I love helping & watching people grow in their personal lives and in relationships. Marriages, divorce, blended families, intimacy, & parenting, past abuse issues are also areas of treatment. Pain disorders, grief, anxiety, and depression can have devastating affects on ones life. Getting help in all of these areas can greatly improve one's overall functioning. I believe contentment in life and knowing your life has purpose is of utmost importance.

Hello there! I’m a licensed clinical social worker in California, and a certified anger management counselor, CAMS-ll, under the National Anger Management Association. I have vast experience working with children, teenagers, and adults within an outpatient and inpatient hospital setting. My best interest for clients is to help them achieve personal self-development and awareness, cope with life transitions, emotions, stressors, and develop healthier relationships. I believe we are capable of self-resiliency and I aim to be a guide for you to achieve it.

We have found to look at life differently for many reasons and we have learned life is in the here and the now. Helping clients discover their healthier self will promote less stress, anxiety, and depression in their lives. When working clients, it’s important for me to get to know who the client is, where they have been what their goals are. When one learns to set obtainable goals it’s not so overwhelming and it helps the client to feel empowered thus giving the client a sense of accomplishment instead of setting themselves up for disappointment. The importance of this is to help the client to obtain tools use in their lives.

"As above, so below". The ancient saying reminds us that the ways in which we experience life and encounters with others are based on patterns of behavior and beliefs about ourselves in the world that have developed over time. Often these patterns and beliefs serve us well, other times they create inner turmoil, frustration, and confusion. As a therapist, I am committed to the facilitating the process for you of discovering unconscious patterns and beliefs, how they have been beneficial or harmful, and learning to make consciously informed responses to the problematic situations in life that you are facing.

As an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker, behavioral specialist and experienced therapist I work with a wide range of issues facing children, adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with parents and children struggling with challenges related to ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Nonverbal Learning Disorders.

Is your family navigating significant changes, transitions, or a recent diagnosis or identified learning difference? Is your child struggling with self-esteem, behavior challenges, or anxiety and depression? Do you want to break a cycle of blame and resentment in your intimate relationship, or need a couples tune-up? Are you searching for more fulfillment and less stress in your busy life? These are just a few of the issues I am experienced in treating as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT79984). I offer psychotherapy for children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals.

Family and relationships are an integral part of an individual's ability to be happy, and healthy. I believe that all individuals can benefit from the unique relationship that is built between the therapist and client. Individual's who have difficulty with mental health problems are particularly appropriate for treatment. I have more than 11 years experience working with children with severe behavioral and attachment difficulties, and the family's/friends who love them. The parent/partner relationship is a particularly special relationship that requires support, attention, and caring reflection. I am calm and supportive.

Our children and teens are seeing an epidemic of mental, emotional, and physical issues including ADHD, anxiety, depression, obesity, diabetes, behavior outbursts, learning difficulties, loneliness, pain, school avoidance, and frequent infections. There is growing evidence that stress and trauma are contributing factors. My goal is to get to the root causes of mental and chronic illnesses in children, and to partner with families to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for long-lasting vitality and wellness for the whole family.

Dr. Sepulveda specializes in providing high quality evidence-based behavioral therapy for children and adolescents. She provides evidence-based therapy that reduces or eliminates disruptive behaviors (anger, aggression, tantrums), and helps improve focus, pro-social behaviors, and self-esteem in children. She offers evidence-based behavioral therapy with a focus on increasing independence with age-appropriate adaptive skills and emotional regulation for adolescents.

Because childhood and adolescence are such fragile stages of life, treating emotional and behavioral problems quickly and efficiently is essential. I join forces with you to resolve your children’s problems through expert assessment and carefully designed treatment plans. I begin this process by offering you a free personal consultation by phone to discuss your concerns and possible evaluations/interventions.

Let’s be real. Life can be tough. So tough. However, you’ve already taken the first step, and it’s a huge step. I would love to partner with you through these challenges. One of my greatest passions is working with children and adolescents; whether it’s anxiety, depression, anger, or self harm. If they are working through hardship from a divorce, grief, behavior issues, or peer interactions or any other issue I’d love to help! I also love family therapy and walking alongside individuals as they meet and succeed their goals. I have a nonjudgmental approach. All are welcome. I am direct, yet I have great empathy.

Do you feel like you are not at your best or perhaps that some days seem almost unbearable to face the world because you are too depressed, anxious, worried, fearful, overwhelmed with stress, or experiencing upsetting memories of past traumas? Perhaps your family is having difficulty with feeling connected, difficulty expressing love in a healthy manner, or dealing with life transitions? I want to help. I look to assist individuals and families with recovering and restoring themselves to their best, breaking free from old patterns and learning adaptive ways to express their feelings, emotions, and thoughts.

After growing up in a small industrial town in Ohio, I earned a bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University in the nascent field of Psycholinguistics. Upon graduation I became an activist at its inception when West Hollywood became the “first gay city in the US”. As a manager of a major niteclub I'm proud to have the doors for guests and staff alike without regard to race, sexuality, gender identity, or abledness and my Practice reflects such inclusivity. I see primarily Adult Individuals of any age; as well as teens ranging in age from 14yo+; and Couples.

Life can be stressful, especially if you have a diagnosis of Autism/Aspergers. Navigating your social world and relationships can be confusing when you see the world through a different lens than your peers. However, with coaching and practice, social situations, relationships, school and work can be less intimidating. If you're a parent of a child with Autism, receiving a diagnosis of autism shatters a parent’s dreams. You wonder if you child will ever learn to talk, have friends, get a job, or live independently. You need support and advice from a trusted professional who can guide you on this difficulty journey.
