Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counsellor (LPCC) based in California. I received my Masters from the Cal State University of San Bernardino and have been practicing for 5 years. Inspired by my own experiences in therapy, I strive to provide clients a safe space by utilizing a non-judgmental approach to help overcome life struggles, by helping them develop healthy coping skills, reduce stress and prevent burnout. My extensive experience in various settings have equipped me to effectively support culturally diverse populations by utilizing multiple modalities of treatment tailored to each client's needs.

Your decision to evolve your place in the world is one of courage, vulnerability, and commitment. I sit with you in presence and curiosity so that each session is a safe space that allows you to hear and trust your inner healer and its deep wisdom. From this sacred space your healing journey begins. We work together on action steps that you take to make real changes in your life. I address: trauma/C-PTSD; intergenerational violence & trauma; grief; religious trauma; survivors of childhood neglect/emotionally immature parents; low self-esteem/self-love/self-trust; toxic masculinity/femininity; life transitions; thriving in recovery; psycho-spiritual awakening; and ketamine integration. I specialize in talk therapy integration for persons enrolled in an outside ketamine treatment program.

I’m Dr. William C. Shearer (Dr. Bill), a California licensed psychologist since 1977. I am the co-author of Mindful Choices for Well-Being, Being the Right Partner, The Couple’s Paradox, and Repair, Getting Your Relationship Back on Track (Pending publication). In my clinical work, I have three specializations. First, I deal with troubled relationships. Over 75% of my work is couples counseling. I have over four decades of experience, and I have been trained and certified in several couples therapy modalities. My wife Robin, also a therapist, and I have developed an integrative model of couples therapy we call Mindful Choices Couples Therapy. For a second specialization, I have also worked for 30-plus years in the treatment of addictive and compulsive behaviors (alcohol dependence, drug abuse, gambling, etc.), and eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa, and Bulimia. Finally, I specialize in treating stress and anxiety disorders such as panic disorder.

In my practice, I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) within a trauma-informed care framework to support clients struggling with self-esteem, body image, and relationship issues. Recognizing the impact of trauma on these areas, I create a safe and empathetic environment where clients feel validated and understood. DBT's structured approach helps clients develop practical skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. For self-esteem and body image concerns, I focus on helping clients cultivate self-compassion and challenge negative self-talk through mindfulness and acceptance strategies, always being mindful of their trauma history. In addressing relationship issues, I guide clients in building healthier communication patterns and setting appropriate boundaries using DBT's interpersonal effectiveness skills, while ensuring a trauma-sensitive approach. By integrating these techniques, I empower clients to navigate their emotions more effectively, improve their self-perception, and foster more fulfilling relationships, all within a context that prioritizes their safety and well-being.

Hi there! I'm glad you are here. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Master's in Counseling from California State University Fullerton and have been practicing for 6 years. I help clients of all ages manage the various challenges of life by exploring their true selves and working towards achieving their full potential.

I am trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, applied behavioral analysis, neuropsychology, and psychoanalysis. My interventions tend to be inclusive and can involve one, or all of these methods depending upon what would be most beneficial for you. The fields of humanistic and Adlerian psychology have also greatly influenced my approach as a therapist. As a result, when I am asked what my theoretical orientation is, I identify myself as “eclectic.” My experience has taught me that there is no singular “best” approach. Only what would be best for the individual seeking help. The benefit of my diversified training is that I am able to cater my interventions to meet your unique and specific needs.

I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to their mental health issues. I focus on helping clients develop coping skills, assertive communication, boundaries with themselves and those around them, and gain the necessary tools that can help improve their quality of life. Therapy can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
