Hi, I'm Dr. Kisha Bashkiharatee. My background includes a Masters in Clinical and School counseling, and my PhD is in Family Studies. I have loved being a part of the mental health field since I took my first psychology class in high school, but since it was really hard to find counseling jobs in high school, I decided to continue my education. At each level, I have been able to learn more about myself and become more grounded in my field. Sometimes in life, it feels like we are heading to a destination, but we don’t have the whole road map. It can be scary, confusing, and lonely. I want to support individuals in finding the tools to help navigate, redirect, and reorient their lives, and I would be greatly honored to be a part of your journey.

Welcome, I am so glad that you are here! Do you struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, low motivation to complete tasks, or find it difficult to make decisions? Are you struggling to get a good night's sleep or do your thoughts keep you awake? Are you at a crossroads in life and want to understand the path ahead of you? Together we will develop strategies of coping in an emotionally safe and positive space and will begin to understand the why- Why I am overwhelmed. Why do I feel the way that I feel? Why do I continue to repeat the same cycles?
I strongly believe in the power of people and understand that change and life transitions can be challenging and very scary. I believe every moment in our day is an opportunity to do things differently. To learn and to grow. I love what I do, and I am honored to be able to step into your life and help. I pride myself on creating safe spaces that encourage change on your terms.

Hello,
I remember a joke from sometime ago that goes something like this:
"Three friends were walking together one day, and one remarked, 'It's windy,' Another responded, 'No. It's Thursday.' Still the other answered, 'I'm thirsty, too. Let's have a cup of tea.'"
Is it that way for you sometime? Finding that you are not really being heard and understood?
I get it! I work with clients to help them find their strengths and abilities that assist them in better communicating their needs to themselves and to others which can lead to better outcomes in overall functioning in their lives.
If that sounds like your experience, we can talk about it together.

I am a compassionate, collective liberationist-oriented psychotherapist. I pull from politically leftist, critical psychology as well as humanistic and existentialist frameworks. I center marginalized persons, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA persons. I am a digital nomad, a former vanlifer and a world traveler. I am a mom, I've been married for 15 years and I love to rollerskate! I believe that if you are ready to start to find and embrace your authentic self, you can create a significant transformation in your life. If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd love to help you.
Soy una psicoterapeuta compasiva, orientada a la liberación colectiva. Mi orientación viene de la psicología políticamente izquierdista, liberacionista, y teóricamente crítica, así como de las filosofías y los marcos clínicos humanistas y existencialistas. Los combino con las modalidades, los modelos y las técnicas de la psicoterapia convencional. Centro a las personas marginadas, incluidas las personas BIPOC y LGBTQIAA. Soy una nómada digital, una ex-vanlifer, y viajera mundial. Soy madre, estoy casada desde hace 15 años, y me encanta patinar a ruedas. Creo que si estás lista/o para comenzar a encontrar (y integrar) tu ser auténtica/o, podrás comenzar a cultivar una transformación significativa en tu vida. Si crees que encajaríamos bien, me encantaría ayudarte.

Welcome to my therapy practice! I am a psychologist and therapist with a unique approach that fosters growth, resilience, and self-compassion. I specialize in serving individuals who are eager to gain insight, set meaningful goals, and work towards achieving them using evidence-based strategies. My approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and a commitment to helping clients navigate life's challenges with resilience and clarity. I guide clients through their personal journeys with cultural humility and a deep understanding of the intricate interplay between mind and body. My therapeutic style may resonate with individuals seeking growth and transformation. It draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MCBT), and an array of techniques grounded in neuroscience and mind-body integration.
At the heart of my practice lies a profound respect for cultural diversity and an unwavering dedication to understanding each client's unique cultural context. This commitment is woven into my therapeutic framework, fostering an environment where clients feel heard, understood, and validated regardless of their background.
I embody a "learner's mind," continuously seeking the latest neuroscience and mind-body integration advancements to enhance my therapeutic offerings. Drawing from this knowledge, I integrate cutting-edge techniques that bridge the gap between psychological processes and physiological experiences, empowering clients to harness the innate connection between mind and body for increased self-awareness, equanimity, intentional living, and holistic healing.

I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 10 years. My Master’s in Social Work focused on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality and how our different life experiences shape how we navigate our surroundings. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, some of my approaches to helping my clients identify their challenges and barriers to their identified problem starts with a person-centered and solution-focused approach to therapy.
I recognize a client's right to self-determination, and I want to empower clients I work with to collaboratively come up with their own obtainable short-term and or long-term plans and goals for the present and the future lives they want to live. Let’s further explore together how to use better the tools you’ve been working with and perhaps add additional tools to the toolbox or not.

Hello! Thanks for reviewing the information for my online practice, "Coleman Counseling". My name is Mrs. Michelle Coleman. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked in the field for over 20 years. I specialize in mood disorders, adjustment disorders, & addressing life stressors. Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and the client and is action oriented. Previous counseling experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, with a host of presenting concerns.
I am dedicated to working collaboratively with individuals to help them bring about positive changes in their lives. I use solution-focused and cognitive behavioral techniques to assist with concerns. Solution-focused techniques work well for individuals who present to reduce or relieve their symptoms. Cognitive therapy works best for individuals who have issues related to negative and unsuccessful patterns of behavior and make plans to change those patterns. My goal is to assist individuals with applying these strategies to their current goals and plan of action for change.

Do you suffer from constant anxiety and or panic attacks? Do you have a history of loss, difficult relationships and other traumatic experiences that hurt when you think about them today? Well, you are not alone. Seeking counseling can be an anxious time for many people, yet I believe it can be the start of a positive and productive experience. I believe joining with my clients to create a therapy experience tailored to their individual needs is important. The therapy sessions will be a safe place to gain new skills to help you live a more prosperous and fulfilling life.
I offer online therapy which provides convenience, privacy and affordability all in one place. There are so many different types of situations or experiences that can create a need for therapy.
I have experience successfully helping people feel less depressed or anxious, build their parenting skills with strong-willed children, get through difficult life changes, improve their relationship with their partner or friends, and create a less stressful environment for themselves. I am trained in a few research-based treatments for trauma and parenting.
I am a Faith Based Christian Therapist. I received my Bachelor's in Social Work from Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland and my Master's in Social Work from Stanislaus State in Turlock, California where I served 5 years as a Professor in the MSW Department teaching on The Effects of Childhood Trauma.

My approach draws on psychoanalytic thinking, which revolves on one central idea: much of what we think and feel remains outside of our awareness.
Sometimes we keep powerful feelings hidden so we can continue moving through the day, or we simply cannot find time to reflect on everything that is happening to us.
In any case, keeping these potent experiences hidden may leave us feeling stiff, dreary, unfulfilled, or even numb and dull.

Hello, my name is LaShonda. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from a very small town in Georgia. However,I have lived in California since 2004.
