Therapists in California
I specialize in Narcissistic abuse recovery.
Welcome to Whole Integration Therapy! I'm Emily Walton, and I am a Licensed Clinicial Professional Counselor (LPCC). I work from a Relational approach to understand how your past is impacting your present. Working together, we can try new ways of relating in a safe and confidential space. While it is beneficial to work beyond the past, we must first know what we are working with. Once known, we move into targeted skills that focus on boundary development, interpersonal skills, communication, challenging unhelpful thoughts, self esteem/self concept/self identity, secure attachment within the therapeutic relationship.

Over the past two decades, I have predominantly worked with trauma survivors (combat and or non combat), chronic mental illness, victims of crimes, domestic violence, and sexual assault. I have worked on the front lines and one of my passions is to support our first responders who are serving our community diligently 24/7. Depth psychology often includes a “mutual journey into the underworld.” The benefit of this journey is that we can learn to experience the darkness as well as the light, simultaneously, and by doing so enjoy a more peaceful life in the midst of ongoing challenges and opportunities.

Congratulations on taking the FIRST courageous step toward dealing with your PAIN that is no longer working for you; or perhaps you like to grow and learn more about yourself; or you want to achieve HEALING from grief/loss related to major life changes. Painful symptoms related to trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, or relational issues are tough to tackle by yourself. Understanding and dealing with addiction ( that could be generational) and facing feelings of blame shame guilt denial anger, and depression ALL by yourself is hard. By giving a non-judgmental and an empathetic therapist a CHANCE and Therapy time, change IS possible.

Clients who experienced neglect, emotional abuse, sexual abuse or other sudden and traumatic events and as adults are suffering from anxiety, depression, phobia, insomnia, anger, drug addiction and relational issues are able to heal by processing these past traumatic events.
Traumatic events causes one to develop negative beliefs about oneself or the world. These experiences become fixed in the body-mind in form of negative emotions causing anger, depression, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, panic, anxiety, phobias, shame, low self-esteem which can create difficulties with your relationships at home and at work. I use EMDR to heal the deep wounds of traumatic childhood events which are the source that one may believe that he/she is not a good enough person, not loveable, does not deserve to be loved or trusted. Negative self beliefs and negative emotions effects our body and mind causing physical and emotional distress.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for coping skills, My focus is Trauma Recovery, PTSD, Veterans, military and their families, victims of violence, rape, crimes, elder and child abuse.
When searching for a therapist it's vital that we find someone we can truly trust and believe can help us. Security and comfort with a therapist is very important. When a client finds these features in a therapist then they are better able to set and reach goals to fulfill their dreams and to find their meaning and purpose in life. I provide a warm, safe and supportive environment for clients so they may feel that they are seen and understood. The basis of my work begins with the birth of a secure attachment.

I work with clients facing many challenges, including traumatic histories of childhood and adult abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship and work problems, and sexuality concerns, including sexual functioning issues facing individuals and couples.
People have questions about therapy or selecting a therapist: When is the right time? What can it help me with? How do I find the right therapist? From my perspective, therapy is a process where we can change our internal sense of self to enjoy and engage with the world more. We can alter beliefs about ourselves and world that may not work nor support us in becoming who we want to be. Therapy is like this: helping to move you to an awareness of all that you're capable of with the ability to tolerate feelings that arise in life.

I use psycho-dynamic and cognitive behaviors interventions in treatment of adolescents and children affected by trauma and adults with divorce and domestic violence issues.
