Therapists in Pomona, CA
We can all feel stuck sometimes, and therapy can help guide us back to where we want to be. When it comes to finding a therapist, Pomona, CA offers more than many other cities of its size, due to its proximity to Los Angeles. However, finding the right therapist is often more complicated than just finding the nearest practice.
Therapy can come in a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic theories and practices, and depending on the person and challenge, some may be more effective than others. A therapist that specializes in treating marital issues may not be the best fit for someone looking for anxiety counseling. The therapist that you need may not be available, even in a large metropolitan area.
BetterHelp has over 30,000 mental health professionals who specialize in everything from stress management to behavioral concerns. By filling out a simple online questionnaire you will be matched with a therapist that meets your personal needs. And because therapy success can depend on the efficacy of motivational interviewing and the client relationship, if at any time you feel you need to change therapists, you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy can be a convenient solution for many busy individuals, as well. Online sessions can fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
Whether you live on Indian Hill Blvd, Foothill Blvd, or San Dimas, if you’re in the Pomona area and looking for therapy, BetterHelp can offer a personalized solution.

LIFE CAN BE FULFILLING! We have ALL experienced stress, anger, anxiety and depression at different points of time, yet sometimes having one or all of these emotions can be overwhelming to the point of creating constant dysfunction in day-to-day living. Therapy is a liberating avenue to explore oneself and find inner peace that may be hidden under internal and external factors. It is important to feel heard and validated, especially when one is at their wits’ end. I am a firm believer in meeting each client where they are at in their journey of life and learning how they would like to approach their presenting problem(s), whether it be though visiting past experiences or keeping the discussion within the present moment; we will be able to co-create an individualized plan to help alleviate symptoms, as well as promote a healthier you, through psychoeducation, healthy interventions and self-care techniques. I am a graduate of Case Western Reserve University and bring seven years of clinical expertise to the field of adult mental health. During graduate school, I interned at Circle Health Services (formerly The Free Clinic) in Cleveland, Ohio, where I advanced my therapeutic skills in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), anger management skill training and brief psychodynamic therapies, while keeping a person-centered approach to the therapeutic relationship with my clients. Later, I had the privilege to join Jewish Family Service Association of Cleveland (JFSA), where I completed additional education in Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Here, I learned not only about different causes of cognitive decline and the biological facets that may be affected, but how to engage with an individual no matter what stage of cognitive impairment they are experiencing. In addition to working with affected individuals, I provided ongoing psychotherapy to family caregivers, to help reduce the stress and burden that often occurs while caregiving. Throughout my time at JFSA, I earned my clinical license in social work, while being supervised by a clinical social worker who helped deepen my breadth of knowledge in Gestalt therapy, as well as grief and loss, experientialism, depression and anxiety. I have been trained by the co-founder, Dr. Carey Sherman, PhD., to facilitate the Savvy Caregiver Program and by Dr. Elizabeth O’Toole, MD, to administer an array of psychological measures, including the GDS, MoCA, PHQ-9, The Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire, QOL-AD, and the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-Efficacy. Additionally, I have completed training and one-on-one supervision with Dr. Todd Pressman PhD. who created and certified me in his Deconstructing Anxiety model. https://toddpressman.com/certified-practitioners/
