Hello there, I’m Lus. Do you miss feeling like yourself? Does it feel like you are going around in circles with the same problems yet can’t seem to find a permanent solution? I guide adults from a person-centered approach to find solutions to their problems when experiencing difficult feelings such as those that come with depression and anxiety. I can help you work through major life transitions (newly married, becoming a parent, empty nester, starting school, grief, becoming ill, divorce, etc.) getting to the root of the problem and developing cognitive behavioral techniques that will get you back to stability. Obtaining therapy services can be intimidating but I can guarantee you that you are making the right decision. I possess bilingual abilities (Spanish), if it's your preference. You deserve your own space to heal and evolve. During our sessions, you will have a safe space where I will meet you with empathy and evidence-based practice. Let me help you.

You don’t have to struggle alone! I look forward to the opportunity to work collaboratively with you in your journey in discovering how to make positive changes, decrease negative behaviors and thoughts, and help improve your mood and engagement with life! In our hectic world we often find ourselves afraid to take risks that could jeopardize the stable lives we have created for ourselves. We remain in jobs, relationships and old patterns that no longer work, while symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger and self-defeating patterns keep us from making real changes to our lives. If that sounds like you, you are stuck. We can feel lost and alone when we are unable to move forward, whether in work or a personal relationship. Therapy can help you break free of that and thrive. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a focus on teens, adults, and couples. I have worked with clients on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and family reunification. I received my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I also minored in sociology.

Hello, My name is Tracy and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist with several years of experience working with children, families, and couples with a focus on indivuals and relationship therapy. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual in order to cultivate lifelong skills, increased life satisfaction, improved self-esteem, stress management, resolved symptoms, and restoration of hope. In my practice, I utilize both psychotherapy and an integrative approach to knowledge for the understanding of how experiences of the past ultimately affect the way we think and operate in the present as well as in the future. It is my belief that the journey to peace is personal and with guidance and support we can overcome any and all obstacles. We must trust the process.

A quote that has always brought me courage, "Into the Great Perhaps," moves us to embrace the unknown. It's an invitation to dream and a challenge to have the courage to step into uncertainty. This concept deeply resonates with my therapeutic approach. I emphasize that embracing uncertainty is where growth and transformation occur. In therapy, we'll explore the uncharted territories of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships and view life's challenges as opportunities for personal growth. Together, we'll journey toward self-discovery and personal development. Life is filled with uncertainties, and navigating the intricacies of relationships can often resemble an unmapped voyage. Yet, within these unknowns lies the potential for healing and transformation. Let's uncover what the "Great Perhaps" means for you.

I have worked with underserved (Medi-Cal) trauma survivors from different backgrounds, ages, races, incomes, languages, LGBTQ, war victims, homeless, schizophrenic, bipolar, refugees and individuals of several different countries and belief systems. I have learned that an "Eternal Curiosity&quot" is the most helpful tool to effectively serve our clients. I have learned also, that clients of different cultures and countries appreciate having a clinician asking for their own experiences. "Their way to see the world."

"...getting old is not for sissies.... Bette Davis..it brings a smile to my face even in the worst times." I remember the smile on my client's face and my own when she said it to me. I mainly work with clients in the third third of life; first third 1-30; second third 30-60; third third 60 and above. If you understood that you have passed my cognitive test and we can talk. Seriously, I am a client-centered psychologist meaning that I try to adapt my clinical process to your needs and what is going on with you. Clinician Client rapport is an important part of therapy. We can schedule an intake/evaluation to see if we are a good match. If so, great. If not, I will help refer you to a clinician better suited to you. Thank you for your time. Dr. Lusson There is no need to read on but you may if you want. There is just form content below. I am a licensed clinical psychologist...I work with individuals in 2 ways. First I help with managing whatever issues you may currently be experiencing so that you can survive this period without the damage that we can often inflict upon ourselves when we are struggling. Managing ourselves and our issues is extremely important and gives us a sense of empowerment as we learn to get through these times without burning down our world. knowing we now have a successful plan in place for the future do so Secondly, once we have stabilized ourselves and have a plan for successful management of issues, we can begin to look at the underlying causes of our issues, for example, anxiety or depression. By looking at underlying causes we may be able to better understand what may be triggering our issues and in that way reduce their power over us. Many of my clients choose not to get into a deeper understanding of issues and are content with a successful management plan for when issues arise. That is perfectly fine as no one needs to force you to look at history or past events you do not wish to get into. Successful management of ourselves and issues or problems in the here and now is a very worthwhile goal. I look forward to speaking with you and helping you with your concerns. Dr. Lusson

Through connection, empathy and a non-judgmental approach, I offer ways to help you discover what may be blocking you from finding your true path in life. By not seeing an individual for what symptoms they have or what is affecting them, I am more interested in helping you find what is the cause of symptoms and how to process them. I work with adults, adolescents and couples from all backgrounds. I am also open to any culture, belief, identification or orientation. All are welcome. I base all individual therapy on a client-focused approach and adapt sessions to the needs of each person.

If you would like a supportive therapist who cares about helping you achieve your goals and find the quality of life you seek, I encourage you to contact me to discuss your situation and what therapy might do for you.

Sometimes, the most profound connections are formed when someone truly listens.I’m Cintia, here not just to hear, but to deeply understand you. In a world where trauma and anxiety often drown out our inner voices, I know that beneath the spoken words, lies a heart’s true narrative. What a degree in Clinical Psychology and a seven-year journey as a therapist has allowed me to is delve deep into the realms of trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I am an LMFT 137168 and LPCC 13474. I am a multi-dynamic and integrative therapist. I have a background in Trauma, CBT, DBT, and multiple other EBP approaches to range ages 3-65+. I enjoy expanding my treatment expertise and currently training in EMDR and Psychedelic Assisted Treatment. I have a strengths-based and solution-focused approach.

Hello, I'm Jasmin. You should be proud of yourself for taking the time out to make it this far. I'm proud of you. I truly enjoy collaborating with clients to help them find balance in life. Do you have any struggles with relationships or work stress? Do you ever feel anxious or on the verge of burnout? You are not alone. There is hope. My style is to create a respectful and therapeutic space with my clients. Meeting my clients where they are is essential to provide individualized care. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I look forward to working with you!

Let me start by saying self-care is the one thing that we can do for ourselves, but is usually the last thing we do for ourselves. So, congratulations for taking the first steps in caring for yourself. The journey of therapy is not easy. There will be times when it gets exhausting but as you continue through your path the answers will be revealed through the work you complete with your therapist. It is a privilege and honor to walk the journey. As a therapist, I have worked with a plethora of clients from couples counseling, to adolescent, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

My approach is solution focused. I am not primarily concerned with how or why your present challenge developed but will focus instead on helping you to find a way forward. I hope to elicit and reinforce your positive attributes and competencies and help you to access your inner strength. Your ability to change or improve your situation depends on your desire to do so and my job is to awaken that desire within you. The biggest challenge all of us face is negative thinking. This is a reflection of our own disappointment of what we see when we look inside ourselves. By improving our self-image through accentuating our positive qualities we begin to see the world in a more positive light. A sure way of feeling better about ourselves is to find something good in every other human being.

I'm here to sit with you and to witness your lived-in experience. I believe that who you are is a culmination of having survived the pains of life and a result of how you learned to get love. I help you notice the deepest parts of yourself so that you can become your most authentic self. I will push you to lean into your humanity to integrate the unacknowledged parts of yourself. I aim to provide a balance of safety and challenge and in doing so, I hope to help you understand how much you gain by being more of who you are. I help you to see yourself more clearly so that you can develop self-compassion and self-love. Although I am a therapist and have learned the many techniques of this field, my main stance is to relate to you as a fellow human being. As the famous psychologist Carl Rogers stated, “When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy." I hope to give you this gift.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of therapy and life coaching experience. I obtained my bachelor's and master's degrees from Howard University in 2015 and have been passionate about serving people and families in need. Primarily working with BIPOC (black, indigenous, and persons of color) adults, I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in one area of life or another. Sometimes, all we need is a good sounding board and a fresh perspective to help break through to a much more peaceful place. If you struggle with anxiety, are having a difficult time navigating a tough season or transition, have family issues, relationships issues, don't understand yourself or your thoughts, need help processing or anticipating a loss, or are just having a hard time in general, you're not alone. I've been there and by dealing with my own struggles, I've learned a lot about how to help others deal with theirs.

Is the weight of anxiety leaving you feeling helpless and overwhelmed? Are you dealing with grief/loss and need the space to process those feelings in order feel comfortable and safe in your current season of life. Or maybe you are feeling trapped and finding it difficult to balance all of the demands of motherhood? You are not alone. As a wife and mom of two, I understand the demands that a mother feels when she is trying to juggle home life, career or being a SAHM all while trying to maintain one’s own self-identity. Whether you’re working through postpartum depression/anxiety or just wanting a relatable, professional to help you process some stuff out loud. I am here. I will walk with you and help you cope with the visible and invisible load of motherhood.

Do you wonder if your life could feel better than it currently does? I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, including postpartum anxiety and depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and other life challenges. In this therapeutic process, we work together to help bring you closer to what truly matters to you and help create change and healing in your life. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques and also use a mind-body approach to help you discover what you need on your healing journey. Therapy can help you create a sense of safety and nurturing within, whether you’ve lost that feeling along the way or never had it to begin with. I strongly believe in the brain’s tendency towards resilience and its innate ability to heal itself with support. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, open-minded, and respectful environment, and I believe that a collaborative relationship is critical to therapeutic success. Let’s work together to help you find the healing you are craving.

My name is Joy Burgner. I have been licensed in the state of California since 2011.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist in your journey to improving your mental health!  Seeking treatment can be an extremely daunting task, especially within a culture where mental health is not openly discussed.  This leaves individuals struggling alone with distressing mental health symptoms including anxiety, stress, fear, insecurities, isolation, depression, racing thoughts, poor self-image and many others.  With a lack of support or a safe environment to openly share these experiences, it can be extremely difficult and overwhelming to understand how to manage these symptoms in a healthy way.  This can lead to maladaptive coping skills including substance use, overworking, self-harm, suicidal ideations, hypersexuality, and other risky behaviors.  Even maladaptive coping skills are included in the brain's effort to protect us from the discomfort that comes with mental health symptoms. My goal is to assist empower clients to take control and manage these symptoms independently.  I assist clients with gaining insight about their difficulties and how they experience mental health symptoms in their lives.  I provide clients with psychoeducation to achieve this insight and then work toward developing concrete coping skills in an effort to manage the symptoms.  We will work together to identify short term and long term goals that the client hoping to achieve in therapy and I will ensure that we stay on track toward achieving those goals.  Through accomplishing these goals, clients are able to increase their emotional intelligence and resilience as they manage day to day stressors. I have worked for years in the forensic setting, which includes the state hospital system and county jail system, working with adult offenders.  I am structured in my approach and committed to seeing progress for my clients as they take on the challenge of self-improvement.  My clinical orientation is in trauma work.  I assist clients with understanding their trauma in their life and how it impacts them today.  I emphasize the unique cultural backgrounds of my clients and all the different traits of their identity to assist them with understanding themselves in a more complete way. In person services available for clients near Santa maria, Ca.  Telehealth services are available for clients throughout the state. 

Let's build on your strengths to meet your therapy goals. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy, and I take a strengths-based approach toward my work with clients.

I treat depression and anxiety, with a focus on the ways that both can negatively impact work, home and relationships. I assist clients in developing awareness and tools that decrease these symptoms and increase functioning in daily living. I also specialize in trauma-focused therapy, helping those who have experienced painful life events move forward; living healthier, happier lives. My self-care includes practicing martial arts which I appreciate for both the discipline and sport. I enjoy traveling and I am an animal lover.

You're an Asian-American professional who has achieved much in your life, and yet, despite all of your successes, you're still unhappy.

I hear you. You've been going through the motions, avoiding pain, sometimes barely hanging on, and trying to live a "normal," happy life. But, your past keeps creeping up and interrupts your hopes and goals, negatively impacts your day to day life, and creates relationship struggles. A childhood trauma might be coming up or a more recent traumatic event, or maybe something you might not describe as traumatic is inserting itself into your well being. Either way, your life isn't going the way you want it to. I can help you heal from the past and move beyond the experiences that are wreaking havoc on you, so that you can have the life and future that you want and deserve.

Hello there, I'm Brian Mitchell. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a client-centered approach to therapy, focusing on trauma and PTSD. I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs and experiences. I am trained in several evidence-based therapies, including CBT, EMDR, and TF-CBT, as well as mindfulness techniques and stress reduction strategies. I work to create a safe and supportive environment for clients to work towards healing and learning coping skills. My attraction to a career as a therapist stemmed from a desire to help marginalized populations find their voice and advocate for their needs. What drives me to do this work is a deep passion for helping others find a better path forward in their lives.

Are you a woman that has recently experienced loss and heartache, and is struggling to pick up the pieces of your heart and your life? Do you feel like you are "called" to more; however, feel like you are "stuck" or in a transition where you are unclear about your identity, purpose, and path? Hi, I am Kelisha and I am passionate about empowering, equipping, and encouraging women to walk in the fullness of healing, breakthrough, and transformation. I am both a healer by the book and of the heart and I infuse my clinical skills, intuition, and wisdom to guide women in the many seasons and transitions of their lives. Together, we will tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs so that you can leave the session experiencing change and growth from the inside out. In therapy, we will use a whole self approach, addressing the unique needs of your body, mind, and spirit. In our sessions, we will integrate somatic and psychodynamic work, spirituality, cognitive behavioral tools, and narrative work as a way of honoring your unique and personal journey of self. We will draw from your unique strengths and gifts so that you can heal and grow and move more fully toward your full, authentic, and integrated self. During our time together, you will be met with compassion, grace, and acceptance, as well as a well-deserved space to heal, grow, and change. Thank you for being here. I am honored to take part in this leg of your journey of healing and transformation. It takes courage and strength to say yes, and I can't imagine what it took to bring you here--to this moment. If you are willing and ready, I am here to partner with you in your next steps toward change. Please feel free to send me a message if there is a time or date that works for you that is not provided on my schedule and I will try my best to accommodate you. I'm looking forward to meeting you and partnering with you on your journey!
