Diamond Springs, CA - Accepting clients in CA
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.

Tulare, CA - Accepting clients in CA
My Approach is non judge mental and client centered. I am passionate about helping others grow through mental health and realize that life can be challenging and creating change can be difficult. I have been providing individuals with mental health treatment for 10 years and find my clinical strength is with individuals who struggle with thinking patterns, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting, and marriage discourse. I focus a lot on thinking patterns, emotions, behaviors and their connections as well as building insight and awareness into thoughts and behaviors that create barriers in life or sustain challenges. I utilize CBT, DBT, EFT, SF, and Narrative therapy for the most part and also focus on the nervous system/polyvagal to assist with calming the body and rewiring what it has learned through distress. My objective is to create an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and to allow clients to feel safe while processing their thoughts and feelings while gently providing psycho education and techniques to assist.

Irvine, CA - Accepting clients in CA
I am a mental health therapist who is based in Orange County, CA. I received my B.A in psychology and social behavior at the University of California, Irvine. My area of study there centered on psychological and neurological functions of a person and how this contributes to each person's unique life experiences. I went on to receive my M.A for social welfare from the University of California, Los Angeles. My area of concentration there were health and mental health across the lifespan.
My previous research centered around looking at rates of burnout and compassion fatigue in different work settings. I have also been involved in research centering around how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can affect an individual's stress response and how individuals with higher ACEs are more likely to have more negative physical health outcomes later in life.
My specialty areas involve working with clients who have gone through different traumas and helping clients adapt, cope and grow. I believe that every client is uniquely different so I tailor my therapeutic modalities to the client's presenting needs. I enjoy my role in helping individuals achieve the best version of themselves. In my free time, I love keeping my mind and body active with physical fitness, reading, being out in nature, traveling and spending time with my dog.

My clinical approach is aligned with "Radical Healing Theory," which encompasses a holistic approach to healing beyond physical health and addresses the underlying causes of suffering and inequality. It acknowledges the interconnectedness of various social, economic, political, and environmental systems and their impact on individual and collective well-being.
Radical healing is rooted in critical theory and social justice frameworks. It challenges traditional notions of health and healing by centering marginalized voices and experiences. It seeks to dismantle oppressive structures and promote equity, justice, and liberation.

Thank you for visiting our group practice page, No Limit Trauma Specialty Group. We appreciate you in advance for taking interest in our supportive services. I am Christine, owner and lead clinician of our practice. I am a licensed clinical social worker that specializes in treating trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, integrative medicine, and other modes of therapy that support each individual in reconnecting with the loving person within.
Aside from my personal and familial experiences with mental health, I have worked in the mental health field for 16 years, have had the pleasure of working in various settings with client's of all ages at different stages of life. Through all of my experiences working with client's, the one commonality I have observed amongst them all has been the need to address unresolved past pain that seems to continuously show up in the present day for people, causing disfunction, a lack of self love, and unending unhappiness.
I am not a healer, I am simply a person who supports people to discover their own power, inner wisdom and strengths. I help people get the barriers out of the way so that they can love themselves no matter what their pain or circumstances may be.
I utilize a humanistic approach (striving to help people uncover, address, reprocess, and heal from their trauma to meet their highest protentional); while seeing healing through a holistic lens (working to help individuals heal by reconnecting mind, body and spirit).
If you are ready to heal the wounded inner child, who we like to call "the little", our supportive services may be the best fit for you. To ensure we are a good fit, we require a consultation call prior to finalizing appointments. We look forward to connecting with you and discovering your needs.

I am a US Navy veteran and former police officer. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and transplanted to San Diego due to my military service.

I work with people who suffer from anger management, sexual aggression (CASOMB - California Sex Offender Management Board certified treatment provider), sex/pornography addiction, poor self-regulation/impulse control, anxiety, depression, history of trauma, antisocial, narcissistic, and psychopathic/sociopathic personalities, individuals with criminal histories, adult ADHD, difficulty with maintaining healthy relationships, and low self-esteem.

Hi there, I am Donna
I love a mixture of different approaches to therapy to get to the root of what has been difficult or confusing at times during our journey in life.
the ups and downs in our journey in relationships, job stress, and family interactions can be overwhelming and stressful, learning balance is part of what I believe is finding ourselves and identifying the needs versus the wants of life choices and understanding ourselves. I love the empowering of the self.
Working together using a whole self approach addresses what I identify as balance - body, mind, and soul (content or peace) that helps develop a strong relationship with yourself.
Seeking therapy can be a scary adventure, but well worth it.
I am transparent, open, and honest with each person I come in contact with, I am here to help you on your journey with mindfulness, understanding, and evidence-based techniques.

Hi everyone,
I am a Therapist with 10 years of experience and two Masters from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor's from UC Berkeley. I have an absolute passion for working with people who are experiencing issues in their sex life or their relationship or exploring alternative types of romantic relationships (however please note, I do not do couples counseling, only individual counseling regarding a relationship), and those suffering from over-worrying and anxiety. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and playing towards your strengths.
Being a Therapist and knowing my career helps others feel less alone, more validated supported and genuinely heard brings me happiness.
I am here to support you and look forward to helping you reach your goals.

Hello there, I’m Lus.
Do you miss feeling like yourself? Does it feel like you are going around in circles with the same problems yet can’t seem to find a permanent solution? I guide adults from a person-centered approach to find solutions to their problems when experiencing difficult feelings such as those that come with depression and anxiety. I can help you work through major life transitions (newly married, becoming a parent, empty nester, starting school, grief, becoming ill, divorce, etc.) getting to the root of the problem and developing cognitive behavioral techniques that will get you back to stability. Obtaining therapy services can be intimidating but I can guarantee you that you are making the right decision. I possess bilingual abilities (Spanish), if it's your preference. You deserve your own space to heal and evolve. During our sessions, you will have a safe space where I will meet you with empathy and evidence-based practice. Let me help you.

HILLTOP MALL, CA - Accepting clients in CA
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.

I am Jamula (Jamalah) Taylor and I am an LMFT. I have worked with many adults from various backgrounds from homelessness to prison inmates. I pursued my career path so that I can help others like myself, my friends, and my family obtain the support they need. I know seeking help can be difficult and scary especially when you do not know where to start. I want to let you know identifying you may need/want help is the first step that many do not take so great job!! I specialize in working with adults with depression, anxiety, codependency, stress, and Domestic Violence. My approach is calming and can be laid back when necessary. I am not the expert in your life, I am a supporter. I like to think of myself as a member of your team to see you reach your goal of being a better you.

Hi there, I'm Steven.
Do you feel that life has become hard to handle? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health, or maybe the things that used to make you feel productive? When was the last time you were kind to yourself?
I help people manage their distressing mood changes and unexpected stresses. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. We will work to uncover the "healthy" you that has been stymied by the tough circumstances you find yourself in. Let's do this together.
You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome your challenges.

Hello there, my name is Jackie. I’d like to start by saying it brings me great joy that you are here making time for yourself! Allow me to ask, what brought you here today? Is it fears…traumas… distractions… hardships…loss… endless worries… striving for something meaningful? If you’re finding it hard to answer, “where do I go from here?,” then arriving at this thought is exactly where you need to be to make the decision to create your own path .
As you reach this crossroads I offer you tools to support you in bringing to light the barriers that prevent you from uncovering your full potential. I invite you to show up for yourself as you journey through the mountains and valley’s that are the wonders of your life.
