Life is a never-ending healing and growth journey. La vida es un continuo camino de sanacion y crecimiento. My name is Claudette Barragan and my purpose is to help adults establish a sense of meaning, purpose, and emotional safety in their lives through the use of spirituality, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, positive psychology, and trauma-informed interventions. It is only by healing our emotional wounds and trauma that we start living a fulfilling life and reach our full potential.

Welcome to High Desert Thrive! If there was one silver lining to the pandemic it was legitimizing virtual visits as a viable option to serve folks in need.

It can be hard to find someone you trust for your child, especially when they are experiencing something difficult.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns can suffocate our lives, keeping us from experiencing the fullness and beauty all around us. Sometimes, we’re able to put on a brave face, despite our pain, to try to show the outside world that we’re okay. Sometimes, we fall apart and can't seem to put the pieces back together. No matter where you are in your healing journey, the good news is that therapy works, and there are several evidence-based treatments that are proven to help you feel better. There is hope, purpose, love, and joy on the other side of the pain you are facing, and we can work to find that together.

You may be getting sick of trying so hard and never feeling like you are enough. Maybe you are drowning in self-doubt and criticism. When the ANXIETY of failing or being rejected becomes your main motivation, it’s time for a new way of being in the world. After working together, my clients are able to enjoy the process of growing, connecting & achieving. Clients start to feel pulled towards their goals, rather than pushed by fear.

"There was a dawn remembered when my soul heard something from your soul" - Rumi - The therapuetic encounter allows for the kind of "dawning" which Rumi alludes to. Who am I at my truest being? What lessons am I meant to learn in this lifetime? What gifts do I bring to this world? What is the greater good I want to serve? Each human journey is a mysterious and beautiful evolution of understanding who we are and why we are here. We often lose sight of our inner beauty and goodness due to what seems like life's betrayals, rejections and overwhelming challenges.

Jeff came to Lifestance Health after working here as an Intern during his first year of graduate training. His journey to becoming a therapist came from having run addiction recovery groups as a volunteer for nearly 3 ½ years. There he found how much pain people live with, often while working hard to appear as though nothing is wrong. There is something so incredibly powerful about seeing someone being validated and heard. Before returning to Lifestance, he worked at Renaissance Ranch Treatment Center–helping those in the acute phase of addiction recovery.
