Therapists in Del Rey Oaks, CA

Hi my name is Mary Baez. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist registered in the state of California. I have been working in the mental health field for fifteen years in a varieties of settings, giving me a wealth of knowledge on human behavior. Beyond my educational qualifications I have learned and continue to learn from the clients I have had the pleasure and honor of serving throughout my years of clinical practice. The learning never stops and the resiliency of the human spirit is amazing. I also am a clinical supervisor of up and coming therapists. It is of upmost importance to me to build a trusting therapist/client relationship in the beginning of the therapeutic process. This is done by listening with my whole heart in a non-judgmental stance to allow for soulful sharing and feeling heard and understood. My basic approach to therapy is Person Centered, which purports unconditional positive regard. The interventions I use are eclectic and tailored to the unique and individual needs of each client. I work from a holistic and strength based philosophy to assist clients in going within to find their truth and act upon it by living a life worth living based on self-discovery.

Hello! I am a 50+ year old man who is licensed in California with 7 years of professional work experience. (Being a therapist was a lifelong goal but a career shift that I made in my mid-40's.) I have a broad range of experience working with couples, individuals, and groups. My expertise is in somatic psychotherapy, which includes nurturing the connection between mind and body. I also have tools, resources and experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, relationship issues, & intimacy related issues. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I don’t like to assign homework between sessions, but I feel strongly that if you’re only “doing therapy” for one hour each week, then results will not be surprising. For that reason, I help my clients find ways to take the work of therapy into their day-to-day lives and make it part of their overall self-care routine. Personally, I prefer meeting my clients via video sessions, especially in the early stage of therapy when we are getting to know each other. However, I'm open to other forms of working together once we have established some protocol for communication. When I'm not working, I enjoy brisk walks at the beach near my home, and playing with my four-year-old canine companion. Please feel free to ask any questions that would help you to determine whether we could be a good match together.
