I am a Christian Clinical, Forensic and Sports Neuropsychologist. Like many folks who get into the mental health field, I had certain mental health challenges. My family of origin was burdened with addiction and mental health. I currently have 38 years of sobriety and am intimately familiar with 12 Step, Christ-centered and Mindfulness aspects of recovery. I specialize in the treatment of Trauma and Addiction with family systems and attachment orientation. As a trained child psychologist I also place particular emphasis on developmental aspects of trauma. As a former Navy psychologist with many years working with veterans and first responders, I am very familiar with those cultures. I played college soccer, run 20 marathons, taught scuba as well as being an award winning underwater photographer and competed at the CrossFit World Games for 3 years. I am married, have a son (retired Navy) and a daughter in heaven.

My approach is solution focused. I am not primarily concerned with how or why your present challenge developed but will focus instead on helping you to find a way forward. I hope to elicit and reinforce your positive attributes and competencies and help you to access your inner strength. Your ability to change or improve your situation depends on your desire to do so and my job is to awaken that desire within you. The biggest challenge all of us face is negative thinking. This is a reflection of our own disappointment of what we see when we look inside ourselves. By improving our self-image through accentuating our positive qualities we begin to see the world in a more positive light. A sure way of feeling better about ourselves is to find something good in every other human being.

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.

Hi! My name is Stefanie. My goal as a therapist is to take the weight of the world from your shoulders, to mine, to help you become just a little lighter. I have held multiple leadership roles in non-profit inpatient drug and alcohol programs who treat adult men and women, and their children. I have also worked inside jails and prisons treating individuals struggling with substance abuse. Through this experience, I have cultivated a trauma-informed approach in my practice. I specialize in addiction treatment for the individual, and their family unit as well. I am passionate about supporting those looking to rebuild their foundation often lost throughout years of incarceration and addiction. My goal is to help people who have had high-barrier trauma; for example, incarceration, addiction, childhood trauma or a moderate-severe mental health concern and help them re-integrate into the world. I enjoy supporting individuals in life transitions of recovery and re-entry and continue to sharpen my skillset in order to do so.

Hi, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Northern California. I have been providing mental health services and interventions for the past 6years. Prior to that I was providing addiction counseling. My approach is genuine and authentic, warm and welcoming. I use motivational interviewing to move you along. To assist you in the transformative process. Together we will unpack what has been pushed down for years, change your perspective, focusing on core values and true self. I have work 4 years in crisis intervention, stabilization and helping you develop a plan to move forward with your life. Do you feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the challenges life throws your way? Life has shown up and you might feel depressed, anxious, lonely or angry. You could be struggling in your relationships. Do you have unresolved grief, trauma or shame? Do you allow your emotions to get the best of you? You have found the right place. You have taken the first step towards self-healing and transformation. Seeking therapy can be a scary process. It's difficult to be vulnerable with a stranger. I believe clients should be treated with compassion, dignity and respect. I encourage you to reach out and begin the healing process. A lot of issues we struggle with start with the relationship we have with our selves. When we change ourselves, our issues tend to resolve as well. I provide a safe, caring and nonjudgmental environment and use evidence-based therapies to help you meet your goals.

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.

My name is Joy Burgner. I have been licensed in the state of California since 2011. I am extremely open-minded, and there have been several experiences that have occurred in my life that have led me to adopt a completely non-judgmental stance when it comes to treating my clients. These qualities tend to engender my ability to form and build a strong therapeutic alignment and leads to my clients feeling free to express, explore, and process life events, thoughts and feelings that have led to emotional distress or problems in their lives. I have spent the majority of my career treating adolescents within the juvenile justice system and teenagers in the foster care system placed in group homes. I also was part of the mobile response team where I assessed for homicide or suicide for clients of all ages in a variety of settings. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work at Cal State Long Beach and my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Science from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
