Hi! I'm Adena. I focus on anxiety and related disorders, shame, and family conflict including refining parenting skills. About treating anxiety: Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly worrying? Can't seem to stay happy with all the stress in your life getting in the way? I'm here to help. I'm here to get your life back on track and feeling more fulfilled than ever before. I address anxiety and other related disorders, like OCD and specific phobias, getting right at the root of the problem and helping you tackle the barriers they put in your way. I use research-based methods shown to give results time and time again with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am a certified CBT Therapist, certification given by the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies. Please see the link below for my membership page, I am what is called a Diplomat under their certification. About treating shame: I also help you work through the shame that often accompanies these (and other) mental health conditions, and I work with you to help gain the confidence you need to let down that guard and feel more like yourself again. I help you become your most authentic self! Wouldn't it be nice to not need to hide or cover up a part of yourself? Afraid of being accepted or feeling flawed in some way? Does this result in feeling lonely like no one actually knows who you really are? I help address this shame and empower you to live more in your own truth. I help you get over the fear that comes with disclosure to others and build a support system full of acceptance and security. I am right here with you to help navigate any hurdles along the way. About treating family conflict and parenting skills: Lastly, are you wanting less conflict in your relationships with your parents or teen-aged children? I strive to help family members strengthen their relationships, lessen the fighting and arguing, and help feel more understood by each other again. I can help you guide your parenting skills and offer new ways of interacting with your children in ways that feel appropriately firm, but also allows for a stronger connection with your child. The goal here is to feel closer to each other and both members feeling heard and understood. Is all you ever wanted was just to feel "heard" and understood by your parent? I am here to help with this too. I thrive off of seeing the joy rekindled in family relationships and love seeing families fill their hearts with love instead of anger and frustration. Let me help you get back to that place again. www.academyofct.org/member/adenahassan

Welcome! I'm Vanessa Sanchez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate through their most challenging moments. Sometimes reflecting on the choices made in your life can bring up inner fears resulting in difficulties with changing the way you are. It can lead to pulling away from others or even sacrificing your needs. Sometimes these unhelpful beliefs can be overwhelming, leading to indecisiveness, lack of motivation, or disappointment in yourself. You may start to feel guilt, shame, and even hopelessness. Sometimes it's because you never learned to be kind to yourself or that your needs do matter, resulting in taking care of everyone else's needs while ignoring your own. Struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma is never easy; there are no quick fixes, and you can't just "snap out of it." however, there is a support that can provide the path to healing. I strive to create a safe space where you can explore and reflect on life experiences, and unravel areas of struggle that hold you back. You are not alone in this journey, and I am here to help.

Hello, I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and earned my master’s and Ph.D. degrees from the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) at Alliant International University. I am a US Navy veteran and former police officer. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and transplanted to San Diego due to my military service. Being bi-racial, I welcome the experiences of various walks of life. Those ten years of civil service taught me about the resilience and fragility of the human psyche, which sparked my passion for mental health as it applies to human behavior. I work with people who suffer from anger management, sexual aggression (CASOMB - California Sex Offender Management Board certified treatment provider), sex/pornography addiction, poor self-regulation/impulse control, anxiety, depression, history of trauma, antisocial, narcissistic, and psychopathic/sociopathic personalities, individuals with criminal histories, adult ADHD, difficulty with maintaining healthy relationships, and low self-esteem. I also enjoy working with veterans, law enforcement, and other first responders or professionals who are impacted by vicarious trauma and burnout. I am LGBTQIA-affirming and respect spiritual and religious values. Therapy requires hard work and courage. I’m honored to be part of your journey to healing and personal development. You’re the hero of your story. I’ll be your sidekick.

I am a curious, authentic, genuine, and very human therapist. I love working with people who want to do the work. I am here to provide a safe space that will foster vulnerability and growth. Therapy is so hard sometimes. I am here to make that pill a little easier to swallow. We fall into times where we are stuck in an unhelpful perspective, or don't have sufficient self-love, or just have ran out of hope. I am here to support you in getting unstuck, changing your perspective, increasing your self-love, and remind you that there is hope. Just because we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel, it doesn't mean it's not there. In the nature of being authentic: If you're looking for a "cookie-cutter therapist", I am not the one. If you are looking for heavy homework/worksheets, I am not the one. I am very human. At times, I cuss. Because, at times, life just fucking sucks. I am also very open to feedback. If something is helpful, let me know. If something isn't helpful, definitely let me know! I have the mental health portion of my job down, but you are the expert in you.

You might be in a very dark sad and lonely place, or you may be feeling intense anxiety and sometimes even panic or perhaps you are dealing with a lot of pain and uncertainty due to illness or disability. Right now, you’re at the point of knowing that something has to change, you’re ready but you just don’t know how to do it on your own. You want to feel better. You just want to be yourself again, maybe a different or better version of yourself. As your therapist I can be a flashlight as you walk through this shadowy path that you find yourself on right now. Whether I use solution focused therapy, DBT, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, trauma informed CBT, Emotionally Focused couples therapy or a mix, what matters most is the safe environment we will create so that you can share openly and allow yourself to be vulnerable with someone who will truly listen, support and empower you as you create the best version of yourself possible.

I am honored to be a part of the journeys of people who want a better life. I have been part of journeys addressing anxiety, depression, grief, psychosis, trauma, relationships, multicultural issues, self-esteem, and much more. It is always a humbling experience to learn about and be trusted with the unique stories of my clients. I am always learning and growing with each person I work with. I really love my work as a therapist and can't imagine giving it up. Other than that, I love food, talking to people, playing games, coloring, and listening to people's unique stories of courage and strength!

Hi! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in California. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, panic attacks, social or family challenges, and difficulties adjusting to life changes. I also often work with people of color who want a safe space to discuss issues around race, culture, or other aspects of their identity/background. I received my BA from the University of Michigan and my MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology from the George Washington University in DC, prior to completing full-time clinical training and residency in the Bay Area.

I am a therapist who is passionate about helping adults find healing from trauma. Whether it is recovery from childhood abuse years ago, or the stress of coping with all that has been going on in our world the past couple of years, I am dedicated to helping my clients transform pain and feel empowered again. It is my belief that unresolved trauma is at the root of so many reasons why people seek therapy, and I am on a mission to help. I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds in various settings, both in Los Angeles and Orange County. In addition to being a family member of veterans who have served the US military in multiple branches and eras, I have years of specialized training and experience providing clinical services to military veterans and their family members, including male and female survivors of Military Sexual Trauma (MST).

I have been a practicing therapist for over 5 years now. I have worked with a diverse group of populations dealing with depression/anxiety all the way to psychosis diagnoses. I implement a lot of Trauma Focused CBT and Motivational Interviewing into my practice. My clients have often told me that I bring a genuine and compassionate atmosphere to sessions which helps them feel more at ease. I take a very nonjudgmental "at your own pace" type of approach. I want to ensure you feel comfortable every step of the way through your journey with mental health.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me and consider working together. As there are likely many therapists who can accompany you on your journey, here’s a bit about me, which may help you make a choice. I have worked with many people navigating anxiety, depression, stressors, life transitions, trauma, substance use, learning & neurological differences, and relationship issues. If we work together, you can expect to learn more about your authentic self – who you are at the core. I am curious to identify the unique gifts you bring to the world and illuminate how you can use those to address challenges and opportunities in your life. I will listen intently, be curious about your thoughts and feelings, and respect you are an expert in your own life. Whether your decision to seek a therapist is something you’ve considered for a long time or a decision just made, you may be experiencing a mix of thoughts and feelings. Perhaps some vulnerability asking for support from and confiding in someone you don’t yet know, maybe uncertainty about how therapy will help you. I view the very act of reading my profile as an act of courage and hope.

You struggled to get out of bed today. You felt so heavy you couldn’t bear to even look at yourself in the mirror. You just don’t see the point sometimes, working to exist. It all seems so hard to do. You feel more alone in the world than you do at home. It’s like you don’t really fit in anywhere, always feeling anxious, awkward, and self-conscious. Your family doesn’t understand you either. You’ve tried to talk to your parents about what happened in the past and they make excuses or make it about themselves. You wonder if your memories are real or your imagination. No one really believes you, in fact they blame you when bad things have happened. But your body still lets you know of the pain as you feel like you want to jump out of your skin or you startle easily. Are you broken? You don’t want to keep feeling numb and afraid. You don’t want to continue in relationships that leave you feeling less than or abused. But you wonder if you deserve to be happy like your other friends. You don’t even know what happiness would look like for you because it’s just so uncomfortable- in your skin, at work, and in relationships. You can feel anger percolating so you shut it down. Your head is barely above water and to go there would make you drown. Are you ready to get started? Let’s move your life from feeling like you are stuck sleepwalking to being awake and engaged. Contact me here to schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation for trauma therapy.

Hi there, I’m Manny. Are you currently searching for a sense of meaning and purpose in your life? Do you find yourself in an existential/spiritual emergency? Are you exploring your personal identity, expression, or sexuality? I help people of all ages increase self-awareness and decrease symptomology by bringing unconscious material into conscious awareness. Trauma combined with an emotional core (experiences of intense fear/guilt/shame) commonly splinters parts of our personality and represses such into the shadow/unconscious realms of our psyche. In response, many of us have adapted and survived by putting on masks in hopes of fitting in and being accepted by the people around us. Mental health concerns eventually arise because deep in our mind/body/soul we yearn for authenticity/individuation. Clients may also experience suicide ideation and/or self-harm because there are parts of themselves that no longer serve them. Together we can explore which aspects of ourselves to let go, in order to make space for something new to enter. I am a Doctoral Candidate from Pacifica Graduate Institute, my studies focused on Depth Psychology with a specialization in Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices. As a Holistic practitioner, I believe that each individual already possesses what is needed for their healing and it is my duty, as a guiding witness, to help the client navigate, process, and integrate such.
