Therapists in Culver City, CA
Many people choose to improve their lives with the help of a therapist or other mental health professional. As the mental health field advances, therapists become increasingly more effective in helping their clients manage complex concerns. A therapist might help a client manage a mental health condition, overcome past traumas, or recover from serious situations like domestic violence.
Therapists also commonly help clients achieve meaningful goals for self-improvement, such as bolstering low self-esteem, engaging in self-discovery, and solving practical problems that may be keeping a person from achieving their personal goals. They most often use evidence-based techniques to support clients, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, or offering psychoeducational resources. Most therapists consider fostering a supportive environment an essential part of therapy and work hard to create a non-judgmental space for their clients.
When searching for a mental healthcare provider, deeply considering what brings you to therapy and what you want to achieve is often helpful. For example, if you’re regularly experiencing anxiety beyond what is typical, the right therapist for you might be one with extensive experience working with anxiety disorders. If you frequently feel overwhelmed or feel stuck trying to solve problems in your life, the best therapist for you might specialize in solution-focused techniques.
There are nearly endless possibilities along your therapy journey, and it is typically worthwhile to choose a therapist whose skills and expertise align with your needs. If you have any past experiences with therapy, you may also want to consider them and evaluate what you did and did not like about the process. You should also consider online therapy, especially if the hassle of traveling to an office interfered with your past therapy process.
Online therapy allows you to attend therapy from home or any comfortable location, substantially increasing the convenience of therapy for many. If you’re ready to start working with a therapist, Culver City, CA, has plenty of online and in-person options.

Hi There! I am a dual licensed professional counselor in both Florida and California State. My last twenty years of direct support positions working with a myriad of populations and ages has included counseling adolescents in high schools and foster care agencies, newly homeless, pregnant women in a non-profit agency (suffering from depression due to domestic violence), chronically mentally ill patients in hospital care, elderly clientele in an adult care facility, adults facing trauma and grief, and all ages on a crisis and text line. Through all these experiences I have been extremely humbled by so many people allowing me to enter their worlds. As a therapist, I utilize a person-centered approach using warmth, compassion, and and humor to understand each person I meet. I am especially attuned to those suffering loss or trauma, as I personally have lost two family members to depression. These losses have given me a special gift to help heal those around me and compel me to soften the anxiety, depression, or confusion of those who need it. I especially try to help people become more resilient in their lives since I have had to personally be this way and not to succumb to the hardships I have had to face. Rather than letting these hardships define me, I have wanted to connect with others and provide support for others facing life struggles. On a personal level, I am especially connected to nature and animals and have been an avid animal rescuer my entire life. I look forward to hearing YOUR story.

I have been working with children and parents and individuals for many years. My approach to therapy is one of respect, compassion and a bit of tough love when it is needed. You need to feel that I am genuinely trying to help you and care for you. I try to normalize, as much as possible, the emotional circumstances under which you are coming to therapy. None of us are perfect. None of us have come through life unscathed. We also have certain strengths. We have all made mistakes. We have all become stuck in our thinking and with our feelings. Often communication breaks down. Here is where we learn different strategies and, as a result, become stronger, more capable and more fulfilled. I do also like to bring some humor into our sessions, when appropriate, as laughter is good for the soul and does help us gain a different perspective on the situation and ourselves.
