Does life challenges come at you so hard that it throws you off balance? Well, you are not alone and self-care in the form of therapy can help you regain stability. Hello, I am Ms. Prudence Jenkins a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California and Texas. As a therapist with more than 25 years of counseling experience, my focus after the first session, my goal is to help the client achieve a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them in an emotionally safe place. My specialized knowledge and experience working with military-related issues such as trauma, deployment, isolation, transitioning, and other military-related stressors have given me insight into the challenges our military families experience. I am also experienced in providing trauma-informed therapy to victims of sexual assault, at-risk juveniles, and substance use. I work intensively with clients by offering treatment related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, child abuse, behavioral problems, and bipolar disorder. Additionally, I am trained in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, Parenting for Incarcerated Individuals, and Crisis Intervention. My therapeutic approach is implemented in an emotionally safe place with a warm and genuine demeanor while considering a holistic, integrative, and strength-based approach committed to treating clients and helping them achieve their goals. I obtained my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work from San Diego State University.

My name is Omar Sandoval and I could have been a statistic. The persistent financial, social, and inter- and intrapersonal adversity I experienced coming from a low socioeconomic status single parent home could have defined me were it not for hope, discipline, education, luck, and my hobbies. Instead, I am a Mexican-American English/Spanish speaking Licensed Professional Counselor practicing since 2017. I was inspired to work in this field due to many hardships growing up. Though difficult to overcome, such significant obstacles ignited my curiosity for understanding the human condition and improving upon it when and where possible, a lifelong pursuit which still guides me personally and professionally. Me llamo Omar Sandoval y soy un consejero acreditado bilingue ejerciendo desde el 2017 de descendencia Mexicana. Por que me crie pobre, desde joven aprendi la importancia de el aprendizaje, luchando y chambeando, y la sinceridad interna y externamente. Tambien aprendi que la vida no es nada facil y, para sobrevivir y sobresalir, hay que hacerse duro y valiente. Solo fue asi que aprendi no temerle a las problemas ni a los crisis ya que en esta vida hay muchos y tambien aprendi como comunicar esta capacidad para superar los obstaculos interna y externamente en mi vida personal y en mi profesion.

Hi, my name is Mark. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. It would be my pleasure to get to work with you! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist; that means that not only do I work with individuals who experience all kinds of mental health challenges, but I also specialize in systemic, or relational therapy - working with couples, families & groups. I am a Presidential Member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. If you want your faith included in your therapy, please let me know; your sessions will be as "spiritual" as you'd like, and no more. I have been providing therapy and counseling since 2016, and most recently worked as the therapy manager for a clinic that has four locations. Though I have worked with all populations (youngest 5 years old and oldest 94), I find it difficult to work with kiddos that have ADD, ADHD, OCD, ODD and the like via telehealth. They have trouble sitting still in front of a camera. Children under the age of 15 would be better served in an office setting, face-to-face, in my opinion. I have been with my amazing wife going on 35 years now (2023), and have two wonderful adult children. I enjoy sports, music and all kinds of "outdoorzie" stuff. I most of all just enjoy time with my family. Most of my clients profess to sincerely enjoy working with me; I tend to connect with my clients on a deeper level, and in a more meaningful way, than some other therapists. Many say that they or their children work better with me than any other therapist, counselor or doctor they've experienced. I am immensely grateful for their kind words. I offer my clients a soft place to fall in their hurts and struggles while providing them a firm place to stand in their healing and growth. Always, in a judgment-free way.

There is no shame in needing some help to get over humps, to work through current issues that may be hindering you from seeing the good things in life, or even to work through years of painful experiences or trauma. We are all human and at many points throughout life need to reach out to someone for help, whether it is from friends, family, or professionals. Reaching out can be difficult and a bit scary, but rest assured you are making the right choice and taking a huge step in the right direction. We will walk through this journey together. I enjoy helping people heal from their pain of trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and life problems. Techniques I often use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with some Mindfulness mixed in. These are great and very beneficial, and without a doubt will help you. I offer Biblical Counseling as well.

Hi there, I'm Christine. It is a real privilege in life to serve as a therapist, and I greatly appreciate your bravery and vulnerability in seeking out support. I strongly believe in the importance and healing nature of being seen, heard, and understood within a warm, therapeutic relationship, combined with evidence-based techniques, such as EMDR and Compassion-Focused CBT. As a therapist, I am committed to compassionate, curious support to help you live authentically, joyfully, and reclaim that kindness towards yourself to navigate difficulties in life. I tend to be gentle, sensitive, and flexible in my approach, tailoring what I do to your desired direction. A little bit about my background: I earned a Master of Social Work and Bachelor of Arts (Majors: Psychology, English, Creative Writing) from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. I started in the mental health field when I ran an LGBTQ+ Sexual Assault Support Group; volunteered as a crisis counselor; and interned during my master's program as a therapist at specialty Trauma/Grief and Anxiety/OCD clinics. And for the past few years, I had been a therapist for intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs, supporting those who needed more regular support for mental health. I find it immensely rewarding supporting Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), Autistic/ADHD adults, trauma survivors, and those with anxiety, depression, stress, and grief/loss. I have lived experience as a Highly Sensitive Person on the spectrum, and have personally experienced trauma - and healing from trauma. I would be honored to support you in your journey, and encourage you to reach out if you feel that we may be a good fit together.

Hello, I am a retired educator who served for 30 years, with over 17 years as a school counselor, working with families and individual students from 4 years of age to 18 years old. I worked with students setting goals, problem solving, as well as, working to manage anger and grief. I also assisted many parents in finding more effective tools in behavior management systems at home and was able to help parents and adolescents find better tools to communicate with each other throughout my career as a school counselor. As retirement drew near, I received my LPC and went into the private sector and began working mainly with individuals who experienced trauma, through a non-profit organization. I have a passion working with individuals and families and assisting them in finding their way through difficult situations in life. I especially love assisting parents with difficulties with children in the school setting and then later assisting trauma victims in regaining their power and strength through some of the darkest days. I understand what it is like to grieve and hurt when people you trust the most in the world, break your trust and finding your way out of that dark tunnel is difficult, but possible. My goal as a therapist is always to assist my clients in becoming a stronger individual and knowing that they are always stronger and better because of and In-spite of what they have been through, because they are Survivors!

Hi, I'm Michele Purvin. Life can be tough and unfair sometimes. Especially, if you are just starting out and you feel like you have no clue how to handle some of the life's complex challenges thrown at you. Or sometimes the pain of life is just too great, too overwhelming, and you feel completely alone and stuck with a problem. Or maybe you just need someone to listen to you and give you a different perspective. This is where I can help you. I will treat you with respect and compassion and listen carefully with empathy to your problems. I will hold a safe and confidential space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. We will work together to help you become aware of your thoughts and feelings about a problem, and how to look at those problems in different, more manageable ways. Rather than adopting only one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods that are most effective for each individual and situation. I take a strength perspective by focusing on what your strengths are and how we can build on those strengths to reach your potential. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) providing therapy services in Texas and Utah. I have been in private practice for over 10 years. As a Texas native, I grew up in a bi-cultural, tri-lingual Swiss German American household in the United States and Switzerland.

It is fair to say there are a lot of stressors in our society, some so large they can have a huge impact on how we enjoy and navigate our lives. I'm here to tell you it isn't all in your head, you're not alone, and it is ok to ask for help. I am a licensed clinical social worker offering virtual therapy to individuals in Louisiana and Texas. I utilize a client-centered approach, meaning you are the expert in your own life and I am here only to assist you in reaching your goals. Trauma-informed care is a very important part of the services I provide, as I specialize in working with survivors of trauma, with expertise in abuse and assault. I believe it is necessary to acknowledge traumatic experiences throughout our lives and how those experiences may shape our worldview. Trauma is incorporated into the majority of the work I do with clients, it looks different for us all but it exists in some capacity. I am lucky to have had opportunities in my career that have allowed me to expand my practice to include working with individuals experiencing chronic illnesses. I provide a space where folks with chronic illnesses can share openly about the confines of their illnesses and receive validation around those feelings, sometimes for the first time. Most of the time clients are having a very normal reaction to an abnormal situation, no one prepares us for the possibility of chronic illness and little support is available for those who experience it. Lastly, as a queer woman, it is important to me that I provide quality care for LGBTQ teens and adults. Too often, we cannot find providers who hold identities similar to our own. The last few years have allowed me to work with LGBTQ teens in my area and I have learned a great deal from them. I hope to continue this work for some time while growing my practice and providing quality care to anyone who is interested in working with me.

I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I have worked in community mental health and private practice. My specialties are helping individuals with anxiety, depression and trauma. I provide person centered therapy with an integration of cognitive behavioral therapies. I also use a psycho dynamic approach to help each person understand more about how their childhood and early life experiences might be currently affecting them. Christian based counseling is also part of my approach for clients that strongly identify with their faith and want to explore scripture more and how it applies to their situation.

Hello, I am Shari. Are you looking for someone you can feel safe to address your needs and not feel judged? Are you looking for someone authentic and supportive? Are you having difficulty finding someone who will be honest and direct? I work well with anyone who is motivated to start addressing their concerns right away. I believe finding the right therapist can be challenging, but it should not be a barrier to getting help. Finding a therapist should feel comfortable and natural. I am told I have a way of helping people feel as if they have known me before. I like to get an understanding of the source of your problem. Then together we explore how the source influences your thinking. People live life through their experiences which do not always serve us very well in today's time. I also believe in working from a holistic approach. Did you know our daily routines can prolong your recovery or cause mental instability? I have experienced being in a therapeutic relationship and believe in normalizing the need to get help in this way.

I have always been drawn to questions and explanations for human behavior. I have dedicated my life to pursuing both knowledge and understanding to help clients move away from both past and current sufferings. I love psychology, physiology, philosophy, science, and neuroscience. My counseling journey comes to me naturally, for I have always been passionate about helping people. I worked in the fitness industry for a decade helping people improve their physical wellbeing and now I help people improve their psychological wellbeing. It is an absolute honor to be a navigator that promotes healing by gently helping clients confront their unresolved sufferings and achieve peace. Restore peace and tranquility to both your heart and your mind! Please allow me to help you navigate and heal your sufferings.

Go from Trauma, Chaos & Emotional Pain to a Life Filled with Joy, Healthy Boundaries & Healing “If it ain’t one thing, it’s another.” “It’s always something.” “I just can’t seem to get ahead.” These are just a few of the defeating statements we often utter when our circumstances don’t match up with our expectations. And a lot of the time, it’s because of some trauma, struggle or problem that is overwhelming us. It’s hard to manage stress when your personal challenges, past trauma or relationship chaos are preventing you from living the life you’ve always dreamed of. Add on the daily struggles of being a Black man or woman in America, and those problems can seem insurmountable. Whether you’re suffering from past trauma, chemical dependencies, dysfunctional relationships or sexually intrusive behaviors, the bottom line is this: There are few safe spaces for people of color looking for nonjudgmental, straightforward, yet caring mental health advice on how to approach these challenges, so they stop disrupting daily life. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “therapy” and “mental health” are taboo words in our community. That’s because therapy has been historically colonized and not personalized for your unique challenges as a person of color. I’m here to change that. I’m Elizabeth McCoy, the Transformation Therapist. I’m trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Brainspotting. All from DECOLONIZED lens. Translation? No matter what barriers or blocks are keeping you from living your best life, I’ve got the well-rounded POV, deep training and know-how to help you reclaim your joy, set healthy boundaries and heal in a space designed just for you! If you’re ready to trade trauma and pain for happier relationships and a better quality of life, schedule a consultation with me so I can show you how: << YES, SHOW ME HOW TO TURN MY PAIN INTO POWER!>> by booking your first appointment!

Therapy can feel like a scary thing, but it doesn't have to be. There isn't anything you have to be scared to tell me- I'll literally lose my license if I betray your trust! I have worked with all kinds of trauma, orientations, and lifestyles. I have worked with a wide range of people, and I believe in respecting everyone. This is a safe place for growth and healing to start. Life is too short to not give it a try. My goal is always for you to feel safe and heard. Sometimes going through changes is a painful difficult thing, so it helps to have someone who you feel you can discuss frustrations with. If you ever feel that we are not a good fit, I will support you in finding someone who is. No one should have to feel alone when they are working to better their selves.
