Therapists in California

You Know What You Should Do—So Why Are You Still Stuck? You’re so frustrated with yourself. You want to start a better habit, make that healthy choice, or finally do something good for yourself… but somehow, another day ends and nothing has changed. You numb out with TV, scrolling, or distractions—not because you’re lazy, but because you’re overwhelmed, unmotivated, and stuck in patterns that feel impossible to break. You keep asking, “What’s wrong with me?” You talk yourself up, try to rally motivation, even map out a plan—but when the moment comes, you shut down. Then the guilt kicks in. Again. You’re not broken—you’re just stuck. And that’s exactly where therapy comes in. I’m Tammy Brooks, LMFT, and I specialize in online anxiety therapy and habit change counseling for adults across California, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas. With Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, we won’t dwell on what’s not working—we’ll identify what is working and build momentum from there. My approach is action-oriented, personalized, and designed to get results. While other therapists may offer lower rates or more reviews, I offer focused expertise to help you move from self-blame to self-trust and fast. Instead of rehashing the past week after week, I ask thoughtful, goal-oriented questions that guide you toward the hopeful, confident version of yourself—the one who says, “I’ve got this,” even when life throws curveballs. We’ll work together to uncover your strengths, explore your dreams, and focus on small steps that create real progress. You may even surprise yourself by reconnecting with coping skills you forgot you had—or discovering new ones you’ve always been capable of trying. If you’re ready for a personalized, results-driven approach—not just a therapy “session,” but a space to rediscover your strength—book your appointment today—and take that first step toward a brighter, more manageable tomorrow.

Hello, Therapy can bring to you improved self-awareness and confidence that will allow a more fulfilling relationship with yourself, as well as help you to connect with others to establish enriching and satisfying relationships. Locating the right therapist can be quite a task! Hello, I’m Teresa Haro, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California [License #117156], focused on providing comprehensive Telehealth services in California. Conditions like trauma (PTSD, complex trauma), depression, anxiety, chronic illness, addictions, attention deficit hyperactivity/ disorder, and Bipolar can be addressed since they often lead to feeling like life can be difficult. Facing these emotional conditions may bring up difficult challenges for you. Difficult relationships, intergenerational trauma, childhood trauma, relational stress, abuse, grief, loss, low self-esteem, the cycle of life transitions, and co-dependency issues can impact the quality of life. I aim to assist you in harnessing your inner strengths and building resiliency to manage and thrive during difficult times, and life transitions. I have experience utilizing interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, solutions-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, positive psychology approaches, and mindfulness practices. I approach therapy from a client-centered perspective focusing on compassion, genuineness, and empathy. I help clients connect with the meaning of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. I have had the privilege to guide the following populations: college students, women and their concerns, domestic violence survivors, survivors of sexual abuse, gay men (MSM), immigrants, victims of abuse, adults, and seniors. *I am a graduate of Antioch University, Los Angeles, California. I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. My undergraduate degree is in Chicano Studies from California University Dominguez Hills, Carson, California. I am fluent in Spanish, and Bi-cultural. Together we can face any complexities that arise in a safe space. I strive to provide the emotional support you need to realize your potential emotional wellness, so you can embark on your well-being with life! **Please note I do not provide couples counseling services.

Hi! I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California.

Having been on the other side of the therapist’s chair/screen , I know how important it is to feel emotionally safe and truly understood.

I have been a licensed therapist for over 15 years, licensed in California and Nevada. I understand that reaching out and starting the therapy process can be a little overwhelming in and of itself, so I work to set a pace that is comfortable for my client. If you are ready to dive into the deep end, we will go there. If you need some time to ease into the hard work of therapy, we will go at a pace that feels comfortable. I see myself as a guide in the process of therapy and, at times, more of a teacher, sharing strategies and information. My goal as a therapist is to help you develop the resources and strategies to feel confident in your ability to handle life challenges. Sometimes that involves really getting in touch with the way you think and what you believe, or exploring how you are talking to yourself, or it might involve healing childhood wounds. Since each client is unique I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, I incorporate evidenced based strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and sometimes complimentary therapies such as Guided Imagery. I tend to be eclectic in my approach because each person is an individual, and there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to resolving life issues.

I understand what it's like to be anxious, to be depressed, or to just feel lost. So I'd like to help you, if I can, to find your way towards wellness, happiness, and a fulfilling life. But I know you need the right help at the right time, and that is my first goal -- to make sure I'm the right therapist for you now. I don't work with all issues, so let's go over that now. And if I'm not the right person, I'll give you referrals for other qualified therapists. I want you to have what you need, and a therapist that is great for you, whether it's me, or someone else. So here's some info on my work: I do work with individuals, and with couples. I don't work with issues of Domestic Violence, Suicidal Ideation, Self Harm, Harm to Others, Addictions, Eating Disorders, Anger Management or any legal issues. What I do work with is self-doubt, anxiety, sadness or depression, and relationship issues. I'm good with helping people heal wounds about themselves. And I love doing relationship work: I believe that love and belonging are most people's priority in life, and if you are on the journey to find that, or need to repair a love you already have, I'm glad to help if I can. I'm familiar with most modalities of therapy. I focus mostly on Strengths-Based work, Narrative Therapy, and Compassion-Based CBT. And I'll be paying close attention to you and engaging in ongoing assessments: how you feel, think and believe are crucial to helping us find what's right for you. So communication is key. We'll talk, we'll listen, we'll collaborate, and we'll work as a team towards getting you to feel better and make choices that honor your needs, and your chosen path.

Hello, I am a graduate from University of Southern California and have been providing mental health services for the past 20 years. I am experienced in providing individual and couples therapy and have an extensive history in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, and substance use. I have worked with various populations from children to teens, homeless, victims of domestic violence (teens & adults) and LGBTQ community. I also enjoy working with newcomers to the United States in helping them transition into a new culture. I come from a client centered approach starting from where the client is and take steps along with the client towards their objective and goals. There is no cookie-cutter approach to therapy as all clients will have their own individual needs and I will work with them to meet their goals. Everyone has challenges in life and everyone has their own story. My goal is to work with the client in changing the narrative and helping them to know that it can be done. Skills are developed that can help ease the transition from "I can't" to "I can".
