Hi, my name is Joan Becket, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, who has been licensed 28 years. I completed my bachelor’s degree in 1982 at Minnesota State University, Mankato, majoring in Minority & Ethnic Studies and Sociology, minoring in African-American Studies, which stems from having a heart for the inner city. I have been working in South Central Los Angeles and Compton for over 30 years in a professional capacity. I have volunteered helping the homeless through my church and have also been involved in an outreach to Commercially Sexually Exploited Children. After obtaining my B.S. degree, I worked at a group home for troubled children. After encountering one of the children’s therapists, I decided I wanted to become one also. I attended California State University, Los Angeles and obtained a master’s degree in Marriage, Family, Child Counseling in 1992. I obtained my LMFT license in 1997. I have worked for a government agency for over 32 years, overseeing complex cases for abused and neglected children, tending to their clinical needs. I also have provided clinical supervision to co-workers for 16 years, aspiring to get their license as a therapist (LCSW, LMFT or LPCC). I would describe my therapy style as informal and relaxed. I have been told that I am honest and direct, as well as compassionate and caring. I am a faith-based therapist and believe God can help us live an abundant life, if we let Him. I believe one way this may be achieved is by examining generational familial patterns, and by doing so, a person can gain insight as to how this may affect their mindset, current behavior, relationship patterns, and overall functioning. Each person’s life requires a clinical lens to examine their unique experience and how it has shaped them. (JB) Clinical approaches: My approach stems from a biblical perspective, but I utilize various theoretical orientations, such as psychodynamic, family systems therapy, structural therapy, CBT, and client centered therapy. I also interject humor, which I feel is necessary in life. We will work together to find the best approach and interventions for you. -Official Certified CBT Practitioner (cognitive behavioral therapy)

Hi there, I'm Chelsey! I believe the most important aspect of successful therapy is the connection you have with your therapist. My name is Chelsey Fouts and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I want you to feel heard, understood, and valued in our therapeutic relationship. My approach is noticing negative thought patterns and challenging you to believe in your worth. I will help you navigate daily stressors by gaining skills to achieve positive change in your life. I help you to understand how your past experiences influence your present behavior/beliefs. I utilize concepts from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Solution Focused, and Psychodynamic therapy. Most recently my background has been a focus on processing trauma with youth, specifically childhood abuse. I have years of experience treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD with both youth and adults. My clients would describe me as warm, encouraging, and strengths-based. I meet you where you are and encourage you to share what is most impacting you. I provide guidance and structure to offer you new ways of approaching your challenges. I have been practicing as a therapist for almost six years. I have always viewed people as the most integral part of our world and I am fascinated by how one’s mind works. What continues to drive my work as a therapist is seeing the positive shift in a client’s view of themselves, feeling more confident in their relationships, and overall feeling happier. I view it as a privilege to have a client share their vulnerabilities with me and trust in the process. I want to hear from you what your goals are and how you feel therapy will improve your well-being. I work in a collaborative approach with you to help you identify your goals and steps to achieve these goals. I monitor your progress and check in with you to determine if you feel you are making progress. During our first session, I will spend time learning about what led you to want to participate in therapy and how you have been recently feeling/coping. I will ask questions to better understand your symptoms, stressors, interests, family/friends, and anything you feel is important to know about you. My primary goal is to work toward establishing a connection with you to gain your trust.
