Domestic Abuse Therapists in California

Warm Greetings. I'm here to support you in Living Your Best Life. Let's work together to get you there. I can help you navigate challenges & discover your path forward. I believe we all know how to heal ourselves. My role is to guide you in this process. My experience: 16 yrs. working with clients of all ages. Focus: Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting, troubled teens, self-harm, divorce, substance abuse, Survivors of childhood sexual abuse & breast cancer. I also offer parents guidance navigating Special Education Systems in schools & colleges, assuring students receive needed accommodations & services.

Do you find yourself struggling to cope after experiencing hardships? Maybe I can be the right therapist for you. My name is Natalie and I am an AMFT who is passionate about helping teen and young adult survivors of interpersonal violence and other traumas learn how to empower themselves and be strong advocates in their own lives. My approach is mostly Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, while also integrating other practices such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client Centric Insights, Feminist Insights, Cultural Competence, and Mindfulness Practices.

A graduate of the University of Southern California, I became involved in trauma and play therapy while at UCLA's Department of Pediatrics. Transitioning to private practice in 2003, I continue to work with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder as an EMDR Certified Therapist, I serve adults, children and adolescents with Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Eating Disorders, and ADD/ADHD, as well as individuals and families with grief and loss, stage of life/adjustment, behavioral, attachment, domestic violence and other abuse issues.

Your child is a source of light. But perhaps you've noticed their light has dimmed recently and you feel concerned. Perhaps your teen is falling behind in school, having difficulty connecting with their friends, or experiencing confusion as they explore their gender identity. Your young child may be having anger outbursts or challenges with their behavior at home. Adjusting to the post-COVID lifestyle might be causing ongoing worries and changes in mood or personality. Or your child might have experienced a major stressor like divorce, a death in the family, or even a traumatic event like a car accident or an act of violence.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you ready for a change? Would you like to learn more about yourself? Take steps towards accomplishing those goals that have been brushed aside because of obstacles? My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. Although we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to understand and resolve challenges in your life. We will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I provide a safe, supportive place for creative problem solving and self exploration. Each individual has a unique combination of strengths, needs and personal history that need to be identified and used to best achieve their goals. I view psychotherapy as a tool that can help people see new possibilities and potential in their lives, conquer fears and expand imitations.

I value working with those who are faced with trauma, mental/emotional health problems, transitional issues, domestic violence, alcohol and other drugs (AOD). I invite the broken, the wounded, and despondent to share their pain and begin their healing journey. Connecting with my clients, while also respecting and honoring their willingness to share and seek help. My desire is to be a vehicle to facilitate the healing process.

Accepting new clients! - Feeling like you don't have a safe space? We are a team of BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ therapists who provide that safe space. We care about you because we are you. We are in the business of building resiliency and that starts by giving back to the communities we came from. We help kids, teens, and adults heal from things like trauma and abuse. In other words, we provide therapy for peace of mind.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I work with adults providing both individual and couples therapy. I have extensive training in treating anxiety, depression, narcissistic abuse, marital/relationship issues, grief and loss, and trauma. I also provide therapy for those making stressful life transitions, seeking a more balanced lifestyle, perfectionistic tendencies, self-confidence, and greater self-awareness. Together, we can examine how your thoughts and emotions are impacting your daily life in either helpful or unhelpful ways. What I love about this work is that I am able to inspire individuals to improve their life circumstances.

Ansiedad, depresion, vacio interno; son respuestas emocionales al desapego familar. Familias multicuturales en proceso de adaptacion, se ven expuestas a estas emociones y a las conductas sintomáticas que les corresponden. Apoyo a mis clientes en la búsqueda de sus fuerzas internas hacia la salud y la felicidad. Anxiety, depression, internal emptiness, are emotional responses to family detachment. Multicultural families in the process of assimilating to mainestream culture, are exposed to these emotions and consequently to their symptoms. My therapeutic strategy involves supporting clients as they find their own sources of strength

I start where you are and offer individualized interventions that fit your personality. My mission is to help you learn and sustain how to become an emotionally healthy individual prepared to face the world with your head held high and with the necessary tools to face them.
