I began working in mental health 23 years ago and have worked in community-based therapy, lockdown facilities, in-home therapy, and different schools. I have found over time that the most rewarding factor of doing this work is giving people comfort and support, not only solutions. No matter what type of therapy the client prefers, the environment is based individually on the client. I do not press the pace of the session. Normally, there's a check, but other than that, it depends on the pace the client feels comfortable with for that session.

First and foremost, I am so proud of you for being here today and for taking the first step towards investing in yourself by attending therapy. Definitely not an easy thing to do so I salute your willingness and courage!! My name is Janette, I am a first gen, Latina, who loves to read, run, and cuddle up next to my best friend (my dog) who you may see in the background writing my notes for me (he is my intern)!! (silly smiley face)
My style in therapy is being authentic, gentle but yet guiding you to your ultimate best self. Although I am formally trained in different treatment modalities (CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, EMDR), I know life doesn't always fit neatly in a box, so I feel my approach reflects that. I prefer a looser approach to therapy as I feel it helps a person be more vulnerable and safe. When it comes to therapy, I know how scary and difficult it may be to expose what we work so hard to hide. However often time in that process we overlook our strengths such as our resiliency. Together, we will work to foster confidence within yourself and every aspect of your life.

Congratulations for taking the step to seek counseling. The world we live in is increasingly complex, and we can find ourselves feeling disconnected, stressed, and uncertain about what direction to take. How do we identify solutions for our life’s challenges? How do we let go of stress and sleep at night? As a therapist, I have counseled with individuals and families for over ten years and have found that problem-solving does not have to be stressful, and that we can work through our toughest issues.
It is common to believe that people in our relationships, or circumstances in our lives cause us to feel the way we do. But it is our thinking, and the way we relate to people and circumstances, that create our feelings and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us observe what we are feeling and identify the thoughts that create our feelings. With increased self-awareness, we determine which of our thoughts and perceptions are distorted and unhelpful. As our thinking becomes more realistic, we feel better.
There are several therapy methods that are effective in creating positive change, including Narrative Therapy, Goal Setting, Visioning for Personal Growth, and Mindfulness to promote focus and attention. Let’s engage in a conversation to explore your individual needs, and how best to meet them.

Hello,
You may have often heard some people say that therapy is for only those with a mental illness or are "crazy".
I'm Mark G. Koch and have been a licensed Marriage Family Therapist since 1996, and I can honestly tell you that those type of statements are a myth. Everyone has a view of how the world works and we use the tools we have to deal with our issues, but occasionally there comes a time when a problem arises that we have no answer to. At this point we become "stuck". You can say that these are the cards life has dealt you and do nothing, or you can get help to learn new ways to see your world and use new tools to change your world. You have the strength and you have the power and somewhere in your mind, you have the answers. My job is to help you find them and to show you how to use them, so that you can begin to move towards whatever your goals are for your world.
I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including private practice, psychiatric hospitals, County Mental Health, non-profit organizations and most recently utilizing remote virtual therapy. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups. My expertise in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorders and other Anxiety Disorders along with Depression, but I also have had a multitude of experience with Personality Disorders, Bi-Polar Disorders, and with dual diagnosis. A dual diagnosis is when a person has a mental health issue such as depression, and is also dealing with a drug/alcohol issue. Having said all of this, I actually have had a great amount of success dealing with adolescents, those having relationship issues, and communication between couples. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello there, so glad you're here, I’m Juliana (she/her), but you can call me Julie.
Have you ever felt that life just hasn't been going the way you'd envisioned? That things seem "too hard to handle"? Are relationships too hard to keep healthy because "you don't feel like you"? I'm here to help navigate to get you to a place of "feeling like yourself again."
I am a therapist with over 12 years of experience who works with adolescents and young adults. I work to grow the resiliency skills that you already possess, seeking ways to self-care as a way to manage stress, how to express yourself and other ways to improve communication skills, explore who you want to be, and how to get there and everything in between.
I empower individuals to overcome anxiety and depression through organic discussions and the introduction of boundary-setting (internally and externally), self-regulating techniques, and stress management. I love to use a multimodality approach that best suits your needs.
I look forward to working along side of you.

Hi there and great job on taking that first step in considering if therapy is right for you. I invite you to come with me on a journey of your own choosing where we will walk together in darkness to find the light you’ve been seeking. Whether it’s life’s little annoying stressors or more complex issues, as a trauma survivor myself, I know firsthand what this is like and wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Hi, I’m Shyrea (shy-ruh) Minton, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), treating adults in California.
If you are seeking therapy now, you are likely experiencing challenges that are affecting your mental, physical, and/or emotional health and well-being. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help and I want to acknowledge the significance of the step you are taking to reach out for support. I truly believe folks can respond to challenges and issues they encounter, and also know that sometimes we need a little help when the challenge/issue has become too much to carry alone. I work with clients to process what is occurring for them, gain insight, and identify patterns that are impacting growth. We will work together to address the challenges that brought you to therapy so that you can begin to heal and grow.

Hi, thank you for considering me as part of your support team. My name is Yolanda and I want to share with you a little about how you and I would work together.
You may be experiencing a ton of different emotions, or maybe there is one specific feeling you can't seem to shake. For example, are tehre times where you find yourself overthinking situations or experiencing thoughts going so fast it's hard to keep up with them? What about experiencing extreme sadness with a lack of motivation to do anything, even get out of bed? Has there been a time when you felt like crying, but you couldn't figure out why?
These feelings are overwhelming and are just a few things we can address during your sessions. I offer support and provide tips and tricks to get through the day while working together to figure out why this is happening.

Hello, my name is Jennifer, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. Over the past 17+ years I have predominately worked with children and adolescents and their families. I specialize in working with this population. My goal is not to just treat the child, but also to equip the parents to be able to help their child in the home. My goal is "parent as therapist." While I love my time each week with my client, the parents are the ones doing the real work in the home. As a parent, I know that one of the most difficult feelings is seeing your child struggling and not knowing how to help. My goal is to help the child while also training up the parents to heal the entire family. My preferred methods of treatment are CBT and PCIT as I believe they offer tools to help families quickly and effectively.
