Therapists in Milpitas, CA
Therapy isn’t only for mental health concerns with complex needs that require inpatient settings. While it can be an effective treatment for many challenges, the primary focus of therapy starts with promoting mental well-being for everyone. Therapists offer support and tools to improve relationships, manage stress, and facilitate personal growth.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Milpitas, CA may offer more choices than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One of the reasons for this is that there are so many evidence-based therapeutic approaches within psychology. Which will be most effective can depend on what challenge is being addressed, as well as personal preference. Someone looking for a supportive environment to heal from domestic violence may not be able to find this at the nearest clinic, which deals with addiction. What you want or need may not be available or accessible in your area. This is where online therapy can help.

In my long career as a parent, a therapeutic horseback riding instructor, a school counselor and a psychologist, I have learned the following truths: We are all on our path, always striving to heal ourselves. Emotion is the language of the body, communication to our soul. We can recognize where we need to go, by following our enthusiasm. It is okay to ask for what you need and receive help and encouragement. We learn and heal best through play, making mistakes, and trying again. All situations can be turned therapeutic. You may feel you have lost your way, or that your feelings and emotions are running away with you. You may not know what to do with yourself, or with your child. You may have lost your enthusiasm for life, or don’t know how to ask for what you need. Or maybe you are so afraid of making a mistake. I understand, I have been there, too. And you can find your enthusiasm as well, as a human being, as a parent, as child, a partner, a friend or a co-worker. I can help you find the building blocks you need to build your better life. Let’s talk and play this out together.
