If you’re experiencing low self-esteem, feeling anxious to the point that it affects your daily life or sleep quality, or you just want to build greater self-awareness, therapy may help. Therapy can be a powerful tool to build more self-compassion and move forward from the past with improved mental health.
When you’re ready to look for a therapist, La Quinta, CA, has a few practices to consider. For example, Oshita Counseling is a therapy practice that may accept payment from your insurance company and offers both individual and couple’s therapy. There are also LGBTQ+ therapists in the area who can provide non-judgmental support for people exploring their gender, sexual orientation, or navigating stigma and other challenges.
There are many therapists in the La Quinta area who practice in-person and are great listeners. For many people, however, there are more benefits of online therapy than in-person therapy. Online therapy is often more affordable than in-person therapy, sessions can typically be scheduled outside of business hours, and it doesn’t require commuting to therapy sessions. Additionally, some people find that it’s easier to openly discuss sensitive topics from the comfort of home.

You can learn more about a therapist through their profile, where you’ll find details on their background, areas of focus, clinical approach, and licensing information.

Elaine Godoy
*NOW AVAILABLE FOR LIVE SESSIONS!* Hello there, my name is Elaine and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. My experience includes working with children, teens, adults, and families who are impacted by depression, anxiety, eating disorders, parenting issues, trauma, and grief and loss. I also have over 5 years experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, were I provided behavior therapy to children with developmental disabilities. My therapy style is very down-to-earth and nonjudgmental. I believe that you should feel comfortable sharing your experiences as you work towards your goals. So, how can I help? Maybe life has dealt you one challenge after another, and you are ready to break free and find your happiness. I know you are tired of the perpetual roadblocks and setbacks that prevent you from living life YOUR way. You are frustrated that no matter how hard you try, things just aren’t working. Together we can improve your emotional health, increase satisfaction with daily life, and get you closer to accomplishing those goals you’ve been putting off. You’ve undoubtedly made the courageous choice to work towards regaining control of your life and feeling better. I know you are tired, I know you are ready for change. Let’s work together and help you rediscover the life you were meant to live and feel better about yourself. Parents of children with special needs- Parents, there is help for you! I am very aware of the challenges that impact parents/families who have a child with special needs. Parenting is a difficult task in itself. Those difficulties are exponentially greater when a child has special needs. Maybe your child is receiving behavioral support, but for some reason you find yourself not able to work the same “magic” their therapists can. Do you feel burnt out? Perhaps your child has just been diagnosed and you are having some difficulty understanding or accepting what this all means for you and your family. Maybe you've been "in the game" for years and feel you have lost part of yourself in the world of specialists, doctors, IEPs, regional centers, OT, PT, ABA, etc... I’m here to tell you it’s OKAY. I can help you work through the unique challenges that comes with parenting child with special needs. *My availability has recently opened up to full time. Please reach out to me if interested in scheduling*

Katherine Hughes
My focus is working with individuals. I am an experienced Baby Boomer having endured multiple losses and difficult life transitions. I have tremendous empathy for those trying to maneuver life's valleys. My style is attentive, respectful, and non-judgmental. I have earned two Masters degrees and four Post-Masters, all to better help clients. If you desire to change aspects of your life, you can start a journey in therapy and explore the answers you may already hold. Clients often have the answers, but they just need to process them. I was taught to listen 80 percent and reflect 20 percent during a session. This is because a therapy session is all about you. It is your time to explore your fears and dreams and how you hold the key to make meaningful changes. Let's be honest, though, it is not easy to open up to a stranger. But, once you start walking, a new you will be waiting to soar.
