My name is Kristy Hamilton, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, having also worked professionally in Colorado. I work as a Medical/Hospice Social Worker, and have a small private practice called Malibu Walk and Talk Therapy. I have also worked in a dual-diagnosis facility as a Program Manager and therapist, and Clinic as their Behavioral Health Provider. My experience working with individuals and families has covered a wide range of concerns related to stress, mood, parenting, family conflict, moves and life transitions, obsessions and compulsions, addictions, organizational issues, hoarding, workplace issues, care-giver challenges, and aging issues. I grew up and attended a variety of churches over the years as we have moved and spent time abroad, and find that these experiences have enabled me to grow and love the uniqueness of individuals and the place one's past and environment have on the present. The connection between therapist and client is one of the biggest factors for success, and so I will listen to best understand your current situation and concerns. My counseling style is collaborative and interactive, respectful, warm, and practical. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, client and solution-focused, motivational, attachment-based, existential, and dialectical behavior therapies. I focus primarily on present circumstances and work collaboratively to better understand one's past and environment, and to adjust unproductive patterns of thinking and behaving as you move forward. My license allows me to provide professional counseling in California and Colorado, and am available via phone, live chat, or video for counseling sessions almost every day of the week since my schedule is flexible. The life experience I have as a parent and professional may be very helpful for you as you courageously reach out during this time. I want you to get the short or long-term support and counsel best suited for you and your present situation.

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)
