I ONLY SEE ADULT CLIENTS and I DON'T SEE COUPLES. I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was 18; I knew that I was a very self-aware, emotionally sensitive, and insightful individual. I have a genuine desire to get to know each client as a human being. I find it very easy to listen to others and am interested in solving personal problems. I like to observe and analyze people. In high school, my friends always confided in me about their problems because they saw that I was trustworthy. Before becoming a therapist, I was a medic in the US Army. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or porn and sex addiction, I’m honored to support you. I specialize in helping adults get to know themselves and feel empowered to advocate for their well-being. As we work together, you will reflect, expand your awareness, and gain tools to manage adversity and grow.

Hello there, I am Jamey. Do you feel like there are just not enough hours in the day, or that you are being pulled in a million different directions? Do you feel like you are struggling to keep up with your relationships, your work, or your health? Sometimes when this happens, we tend to blame the person in the mirror. Fortunately, I am here to help you get over that hump. I strive to help you manage anxiety and avoid burnout. My goal is to help work together with you, and identify what is working well, and not so well, and help you find that balance you and so many others are looking for. I consider myself to be very adaptable to my clients, and work to find what works best specifically for you! I would also like to assure you, that you are not the only one feeling this way! Whether you are overwhelmed, having relationship issues, dealing with trauma, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to help. If you are having trouble with your children, and are seeking input and new techniques, I would be glad to assist you. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but this is the first step towards making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I will meet you with empathy and compassion in a judgment-free zone, working with evidence-based techniques to help you overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. Let us work together!

Greetings, Life can be confusing, relationships can be stressful, and the present can make you feel anxious or depressed. Sometimes a painful past can surface into the moment, especially when situations are difficult or when you are experiencing major change. During these periods your mood and thoughts can be affected in negative ways. When you are feeling alone, disconnected, or confused, talking things through can make all the difference. I work with anyone struggling to find joy, peace, and fulfillment. I offer a safe, inviting space for you to share thoughts and feelings, to vent, to feel heard, and to reorient to meaning. Please allow me to assist you finding relief and clarity. I will meet you where you are at and welcome you. I address healing on multiple levels of the body-mind connection with a focus on the notion that caring about something or someone along with experiencing meaning can counterbalance the effects of hurt, a disturbing past, or a present stressful situation or transition. I have more than 20 years of experience helping clients navigate major change and transition, gain closure, and create new beginnings. I apply interventions from a mind-body-being perspective and assess current life stressors to distinguish between situational mood and thought disturbances from those enduring and a consequence of previous hurt or trauma.

Im a Bilingual English/Spanish-speaking therapist with a Marriage and Family License, with 18 years of clinical experience, 12 years licensed and in private practice. I consider myself to be bi-cultural. Having been raised as a first-generation American in a Latin family, I can identify with the mentality of someone living within two "worlds". Transitioning from one culture to another with seemingly different values, beliefs and language. I can easily understand the struggle that maintaining, and existing in both, can sometimes be. I've come to perceive and appreciate it as the gift of having a "bridge" that allows connection to, and understanding of, different aspects of people and life. My education has a foundation in Clinical Psychology, woven with holistic transpersonal themes, the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and just plain down-to-earth common sense. Always keeping in mind the client's personal beliefs and values.

This is my first career and something I have always been pulled to; my journey is a thorough reflection of why I work in this field. My path to becoming a licensed therapist was very intuitive-based; I went through experiences of pain, guilt, shame, loss of self, and the loss of my overall sense of life. Through my journey, I was able to understand pain and trauma, taking on a lot of spiritual remedies while turning my pain into passion, my passion into purpose, and my purpose into power as a healer. Due to my licensure journey, I not only understand the educational part of pain, trauma, and healing, but I also experienced painful and challenging moments myself, bringing me to a higher purpose for self and meaning of life! I am highly intuitive, empathic, gentle, and calm, and I am a good listener and healer. I have worked in addiction, with children who have autism and intellectual disabilities, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life coaching, spirituality, and connecting to the higher self.

My name is Claudia Pineda. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have had a passion for helping people from a young age and have known I wanted to be a therapist for most of my life. I attended CSU Stanislaus where I obtained my Bachelors in Sociology and my Masters in Social Work. I have 9 years of experience as an LCSW providing psychotherapy, conducting assessments, formulating diagnosis and creating treatment plans. However, I have 3 years of experience in this field pre-licensure. I have worked closely with children, adolescents, adults and families. I worked for a non profit organization for 2 years helping at risk youth and their families. I also worked for a number of years in a BHRS county department assessing and providing patients with psychotherapy. I have experience in completing crisis evaluations in hospitals and jail settings, so I can easily identify those warning signs and refer to appropriate care.

Therapy is a journey and as your therapist I occupy the role of being your journeyman. As a journeyman I walk alongside you and together we explore how you’ve experienced your life, and the stressors that may be bringing you into a therapeutic space like this. I want to learn your language, understand your experience from your perspective. This is all done in our safe collaborative environment that is free from judgment and bias. Ultimately i'd like an opportunity help you gain the kind of skills that can help you manage your stressors in healthy ways.

Hello! I'm Dr. Miriam Adrianowicz. As a psychologist, I see my role as your partner on your path to greater wellbeing. I believe the bedrock of this partnership is your sense of safety within it, and it is from this safe place that change begins to feel possible. I believe that the quality and strength of our partnership has a great impact on how effective our work is together, and our first step forward is developing a relationship in which you feel secure and empowered. I'm passionate about helping people heal through the power of self-understanding. Whether you are in acute distress or feel a more general sense of life dissatisfaction, becoming more aware of how you operate and why can help you gain a better sense of control and agency in your life. I believe the better you know yourself, the more equipped you are to manage symptoms, improve relationships, navigate life’s challenges, or simply take steps to improve your quality of life – whatever that may look like. My approach to psychotherapy is tailored to each individual based on their needs and goals. I draw from many treatment approaches and strive to find what is most helpful for you as a unique person. Please see below for more specifics. I look forward to talking more and answering any questions you may have!

Hello, my name is Derek Nunn and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California. My approach to our collaboration is a solution-focused therapeutic approach revolving around you being the expert with your desired outcomes and my use of specific questions to help identify and amplify strengths, skills, and resources moving you in the direction of your preferred future. Each session is driven by you as we will address your best hopes for each conversation to encourage a respectful collaboration between the two of us. We will also explore increasing psychological flexibility utilizing skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have worked with diverse populations in varying settings and programs such as schools, community mental health programs, crisis intervention team programs, and outpatient settings providing individual and group services to clients ages 8-75 both face-to-face and on telehealth platforms. Currently, I have availability to work with individuals ages 18 and older through telehealth only. After working in the fire service for 14 years and recognizing the need to bridge the gap between public safety and mental health services, I transitioned into the mental health field in 2014 and discovered passion for helping people of various ages and health needs. Therapeutically, I have gravitated towards solution-focused therapy blended with acceptance and commitment therapeutic work, mainly because of the drive I have to maintain hope for others, engrained in me from my fire service career. If you are looking for court mandated counseling, seeking letters for emotional support animals, work disability, custody, or other court related services, I do not provide those services, and refer individuals to other providers having those services as their specialties. I am looking forward to working with you to build solutions towards your preferred future.

Hello my name is Felicia Murrell. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California. I have worked in the mental health field for over 25 years. I obtained my bachelor's in human services from University of Phoenix in 2012 and a masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in 2013. I have worked with various age groups, cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds, including LGBTQA, Native Americans, Autism and persons with disabilities. My specialties are depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem and addictions. I also have experience in African American and LGBTQIA. We all have defining moments in our lives. These moments can be both rewarding and difficult to maneuver. In difficult circumstances, we are compelled to dig deep and discover how to evolve to our best selves. Digging deep is not always easy and requires a lot of fortitude, inner strength, self-reflection, dedication and guidance. What makes these particular instances of self-exploration unique, is the ability to understand that sometimes you need help from a genuine nonjudgmental approachable professional other. That is what you will find in me. I don't use a cookie cutter tactics to work with clients because I'm not a cookie cutter therapist. What I mean by this is, I don't treat all of my clients in the same manner. I take my time to get to know my clients individually and work with my clients to learn their strengths, triggers and talents. You are the expert over your life, so I work with you to foster positive behaviors, heathy habits and positive mindsets that will assist in decreasing negative symptoms and increase the likelihood of living a more enriched and productive life. This is my passion, I hope to assist you in finding and or positively sustaining yours.
