Over human history, people have mostly lived in close-knit communities. This has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost much of the social support our forebearers enjoyed. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role in their respective communities and are an excellent resource for you to realize your strengths and improve your well-being. When your car breaks down you take it to a mechanic. When your tooth hurts you see a dentist. When your mental health can use a “tune-up,” see a Mental Health Professional!

Hi there, I'm Denise. Do you feel anxious, worried, or depressed and overwhelmed with your life? Are you struggling to feel happy? Do you feel past trauma is affecting your ability to heal? Is it hard to be kind to yourself or to tell yourself that you are doing all that you can? Together, we can build a safe place so that we can find what's not working for you and get you back to a place where your mind, body, and spirit feel at ease. We'll use a mindfulness approach and identify those negative thoughts and come up with a balanced adaptive thought that can help you feel better. I integrate mindfulness and an Eye Movement Desensitization Approach (EMDR), along with Cognitive Behavioral Theory and several other approaches to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. All of this comes from a strength based, trauma informed, culturally informed perspective where we will identify your strengths and your plan to help yourself heal. I'm here to help and understand that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming and scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the thoughts and habits holding you back.

Hi. I'm Josue. Nice to meet you. I am a generalist practitioner. During our sessions, we'll work at your pace and where you are emotionally. We'll utilize compassion and kindness in a safe setting, plus a mixture of mental health interventions. We'll set a goal and work towards achieving that goal. We'll challenge your negative thoughts. Don't worry, we don't have to delve deep into your past if you are not ready. Sometimes there is the need to process what you are going through at the moment and have someone to be there and listen - and that's okay. We can start there. You can expect to explore various aspects of your identity in a safe manner that works for you.

Thank you and welcome******* @@@@@@@Hola y bienvenidos (Hablo Español perfectamente) Por favor escoge cita a la hora ( 2, 3, o 4) y no a la media hora (2:30, 3:30 etc) ya que no puedo acomodarlas en este momento. Las citas los Sabdos son iniciales solamente. Las demas citas seran agendadas durante los dias de semana por las tardes. Gracias y Bienvenidos. @@@@@@@ So glad you are reaching out for some assistance with your challenges. My name is Blanca and I can provide you with some feedback and objectivity when it comes to dealing with everyday emotional challenges. I am proud to have been certified in cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat depression, anxiety, and trauma by the Los Angeles County Dept of Mental Health through the Beck Institute. This manner of therapy challenges recurring negative thoughts that tend to influence mood and behaviors. I obtained my Doctorate in Social Work in 2022 from Tulane University, Louisiana, to further understand society and its effects on all of us. The depth of this degree allows me to fully understand other dynamics affecting the "masses", in other words, a macro perspective. I also supervise social workers needing to meet licensure hours. I am originally from Argentina and I speak fluent Spanish. I came to the US when I was very young and remember struggling for a while until I found my "space" in a new country with a new culture. I have two grown sons who, I feel, are amazing. We are very close and talk every day. I also have two cats and a small dog I adore! You might meet them over telehealth soon :) I hope to be of assistance with your challenges.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I provide psychotherapy in California and Rhode Island (LCSW / LICSW). My therapeutic expertise is in the areas of anxiety, depression, grief, relational issues, major life transitions, adjusting to challenging health diagnoses, and trauma processing. A significant focus of my work with clients includes building a partnership that enhances compassion, respect, self-esteem, and resilience. I am a United States Veteran who has experienced many deployments, making me highly attuned to the stressors of Military and Veteran life. I specialize in treating individuals who are struggling with the effects of past physical, emotional, or combat-related trauma. I am an EMDRIA-trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist who focuses on creating a nonjudgmental and supportive environment. My passion as a mental health clinician is an intentional one: To help navigate your wellness journey in a way that’s effective and authentic. I sincerely believe that no matter what someone has been through they have control of how they narrate their lives. It is my goal to help you find and accept your true self. Everyone’s path to recovery is different, which is why I help facilitate growth by creating custom treatment plans designed to reduce symptoms while helping you stabilize your mood. I use a comprehensive mental health model that addresses the whole person, including the physical, mental, emotional, and physiological aspects of each client. My greatest desire is to help you realize that long-term change is not only possible but also sustainable when it is intentional and consistent. Learning how to identify triggers to negative thoughts and beliefs gives you the power to regain control of your life while helping you infuse life with new meaning. For me, the importance of therapy is to recondition maladaptive perspective, build emotional intelligence, and educate you on how to better navigate life circumstances. Through conscious and constant effort, you will build adaptive coping skills, achieving the ability to manifest the very best version of yourself every day. The therapist-client relationship is unique and ours will be the foundation for change and set the stage for healing. Reaching out for assistance is difficult, but you are taking the first step toward healing and growth. I would enjoy speaking with you and assisting you in reaching your goals while helping you better navigate your struggles. Book an appointment with me today.

I bring over 25 years of experience in mental health ranging from addiction to trauma. I believe in a strength-based approach in providing clients support because everyone has skills, talents, and abilities to tap into to assist them in overcoming life’s challenges. I am a firm believer in a non-judgmental approach to therapy so you the client feel safe, accepted, and, empowered. I use a broad array of therapy techniques such as trauma-informed care, strength-based, systems, solution-focused or brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, grief therapy, and much more. I am a huge proponent of empowerment and people taking control of their lives with healthy and safe boundaries. I especially enjoy working with men who have engaged in domestic violence with their partners and to help them take responsibility for their actions and the harm they have caused, and to help end the cycle of violence. “Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.” ― Shannon L. Alder
