Therapists in California

I am a clinical social worker, licensed in Massachusetts and California, with over 8 years of experience working as a counselor, clinical case manager and clinical supervisor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, bipolar disorder, substance abuse disorders ADHD, gender identity and LGBTQIA+ issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Additionally, I specialize in working with individuals in nontraditional relationships, such as non-monogamy. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines relational, humanistic, and solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Additionally, I have a special interest in both mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques in therapy. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in California with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist both privately and in the clinic setting. I have had the honor of working with clients from children to senior adults, couples and groups. In this experience, I have worked with clients who have had visits of depression; anxiety; trauma; family issues; religious crisis; parenting challenges and self-harm thoughts. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My preferred approaches include: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Person Centered, Psychodynamic and Family Therapy. Although I do not provide pastoral counseling, I assist clients whom are Christian with issues that may challenge their faith. I pray with clients (at their request) and provide Biblical scriptures as a foundation. My counseling style is warm and interactive and I may challenge clients at times where we both agree may be barriers to moving forward. I do not give advice to clients, but assist them in finding what works for them. Psychotherapy involves hard work, being true to yourself and awareness that real change is done outside of the therapeutic relationship. "Anything you work hard for, you appreciate more." I look forward to working with you!

Each of us was reverently and wonderfully made! But over the course of life many of us have been wounded with injuries that eyes can't see--soul wounds. Those wounds may come from absent or unloving caregivers, bullying, abuse, trauma, neglect, hateful words, injuries or illness, substance abuse, lack of safety, abandonment, rejection, etc. There are many ways a person can be wounded. Those wounds don't just go away, and over time they cause problems in our behavior, thinking, feelings, relationships, families and workplaces. We wonder why this anxiety just won't go away, or why we've sabotaged yet another relationship. We get ugly with the people we love, or feel so out-of-control we don't know what to do. We have unexplained illness and ailments, and the treatments (physical and mental) seem never ending. Yes, these are all symptoms of soul wounds. You are amazing because you have found incredible ways to cope with the difficult and even terrible circumstances you've faced in life! And the good news is that you don't have to live with those wounds forever. Hi. I'm Leah, and I would love to embark on a journey of healing with you. Together we will engage in creative and life-changing interventions, activities and encounters that will help you heal the wounds in your soul, and discover (or rediscover!) the unique and amazing purpose for which you were created! You were meant for so much more, and I would be honored to help you unlock your potential and finally live life to the fullest. I'm going to be honest with you, this is hard work; maybe the hardest work you've ever had to do, but in the end it will all be worth it. What are you waiting for? Let's get started!

I am licensed in California with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. My experience includes both medical and inpatient psychiatric and outpatient clinics. I have been trained in feminist theory, domestic violence and PTSD. My preference here on this platform is to offer supportive therapy to stable clients who are looking for support in coping with career and general life stresses and life transitions. I like to work with creative types, entrepreneurs and children/ preteens. I do believe that providing play therapy with children is difficult virtually though. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am also a certified hypnotist so I may incorporate hypnosis in sessions to help you relax or have you listen to guided meditations in between sessions. People describe my personality as compassionate, down to earth and funny. I listen and offer feedback as needed and offer you options. Ultimately, you make the final decisions in your life. I prefer to work with you in short term 6-12 week sessions and we will re-evaluate your progress then. If you have any questions, please write them down and we may address them in the first session. Generally, the first session, I will gather more information and establish what goals you wish to work on in therapy. We will also establish the messaging treatment options. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to meeting you soon.
