Therapists in Caldwell, ID

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Idaho and Oregon with a physical location in Nampa, ID. I provide individual and family therapy to those struggling with a variety of issues including: trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and family conflict. I believe that each person coming through my office is unique and comes with their own perspective and experiences. My goal is to help you work towards change, growth and healing through providing you with a safe environment to share your thoughts and feelings. I have specialized training to help you learn strategies to cope differently with your circumstances.

I am here to listen with empathy as I try to see the world from your view. I want to help you change your unwanted thoughts, feelings, and action. Throughout our lives people go through hard times. Perhaps we were bullied or in a car accident, we had a poor childhood or past abuse. If the event was repetitive or shocking our mind gets stuck. Then anything that reminds us of the event brings back the feeling, thoughts anger or pain. When we reprocess the stuck trauma with BLS (EMDR, tappers, or headphones), with the knowledge of the present, we can let go of the feelings of the past. We are left with a sad story without the hurt.

Maybe you're tired of suffering from being bossed around by OCD or anxiety. Perhaps you’re in a painful life transition and feeling uncertain, afraid, or lost. I’m glad you’re here. If you feel hopeless, I believe things can get much better, one step at a time. Although it sure can feel this way, rather than viewing OCD or anxiety as a monster trying to torture us, I see it as a hypervigilant alert system whose aim is to keep us safe at all costs. Retraining that alert system can help us get unstuck, heal, and thrive. I never claim to have the answers for anyone’s life, but I love helping people find answers within themselves.

Beginning therapy takes a great deal of strength and commitment. My goal as your therapist is to offer support on your journey to wellness. I enjoy working with clients facing life transitions and feelings of anxiety or depression. You may feel stuck and need support in order to foster positive change in your life. Together, we will establish a safe and professional therapeutic partnership. We will collaborate to explore your unique identity, concerns, and goals. Your goals may vary, but ultimately you want to explore yourself and grow as you learn to navigate the ups and downs of life in a way that best meets your individual needs.

Welcome and Hello, my name is Ofelia. I would like to share a little about who I am as a counselor. I realize engaging in counseling can be a big decision to make and there may be some hesitation when someone feels the need to seek a counselor. It is difficult to know what experience to expect. I would like you to know that as a counselor, I work collaboratively with clients, meeting them where they are at. I have had the honor of working and creating a safe space with an array of resilient individuals age levels from 12 to up that were working on managing (anxiety, depression, SUD, grief, family/couples, BIPOC, and LGTBQ).

I believe that humans are inherently tasked with searching for meaning in their life, finding purpose, and figuring out what makes life worth living. There is anxiety when you cannot find meaning or purpose, especially when it feels like the cards are stacked against you. When we are able to make meaning, identify what is important to us, and understand our beliefs, we can use these aspects to guide our behavior toward becoming the person we want to be.

I am a dedicated clinical social worker with expertise in the specialized areas of trauma, LGBTQI+ issues, and relationship dynamics. My practice encompasses working with individuals, couples, and families, addressing a wide range of concerns, including but not limited to PTSD, neuro-diversity, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

If you are struggling and need help with depression, anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, trauma, etc. and want to heal, find peace, and a sense of a whole you, We can help you. Our team is trained in multiple ways to help each unique person, especially if trauma is involved in your story.

Through a relationship built on trust, respect, and genuine positive regard we can look at life's situations in this present moment with understanding of what is important to you in order to gain new perspectives and counteract faulty logic. Together the counseling process becomes successful. Walking through life can be especially difficult for those who have been mistreated within relationships, those who are struggling to find hope after a loss, or those going through a rough time. May this be a stop on your journey, where you can develop flexibility in the counseling relationship, and can continue on this magnificent road.

Welcome to my page and thank you for taking the time to consider me as your individual, marriage or family counselor. I pride myself in being a dynamic therapist with a desire to heal, motivate and guide my clients. I enjoy working with a diverse client base, as this is what it takes to succeed in our culture that is constantly changing and growing. My office is designed to provide comfort, kindness, insight and encouragement. My therapeutic model is grounded in social work, psychology, art, and biology. I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 20 years, with experience in mental health, medicine and agriculture.

It can feel overwhelming and hopeless when you feel misheard, misunderstood, and as though you're having the same repetitive arguments or running into the same struggles. You are looking to develop healthier relationship patterns, deepen understanding of yourself, build stronger connections with current and future loved ones, and move through past hurts. You want to build a stronger sense of trust within yourself and feel confident that you're acting in alignment with who you truly are. Your needs are important, and you want to start listening to YOU again - or maybe for the first time!

When you're looking for a therapist, you want one that is prepared and knowledgeable about what you're coming in for. This is precisely why we specialize at Totius Therapies. Some of David's specialties include veterans, PTSD, couples and relationships, families, difficult child behaviors, and spirituality in counseling. David has taken lots of additional trainings in these areas and enjoys working with patients that have these concerns.

I believe in client-centered therapy focusing on the client's needs and meeting them where they are at in recovery.

If you are looking for a counselor who does not just sit and listen, then I am the Counselor for you, your child our your family. I believe that each person entering counseling needs a unique safe and secure space to grow and change. I offer this space, to allow the change that is needed to occur.

As a queer person, I have a passion and experience for working with the unique experiences of LGBTQ folks, as well as young adults and men. I am kink-aware and poly/CNM-affirming.

I genuinely care about working with others who are striving to find happiness. I work with individuals and couples who might be struggling to reach resolution, accept themselves, or find internal peace of mind. I am partial to using a creative and experimental approach with clients. However, depending on their situation, I'm more than happy to make adjustments as needed. My services include counseling couples, finding one's authentic self, adjustment issues, and grief counseling.
