Women's Issues Therapists in Fullerton, CA

Hello! I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor who is passionate about serving individuals from historically marginalized communities. I believe that therapy and healing are culturally unique and a political and intergenerational process. Sometimes, the obstacles we face relate to systemic issues, such as systems of patriarchy, racism, colonization, homophobia and transphobia, and capitalism. I aim to provide an affirming space to guide clients in exploring the interaction of their identities, beliefs about their self-concept, and perception of their relationships.

Are you feeling like you can't manage? Drowning in the stressors of everyday life or feeling like you can't catch a break? Or does it seem as if you have to be everything for everyone? While this can be overwhelming, know that there is help for you. By partaking in therapy you will have a safe place to talk about the issues you are facing, as well as work on solutions to address these problems.

I am passionate about helping women work through the barriers keeping them from being their best selves. If you feel overwhelmed with life transitions, motherhood, work, school, or relationship stressors, know there is hope and you don't have to go through life's challenges alone. My goal is to help with symptom reduction and, more importantly, help you grow in your self-confidence and coping skills.

***I have openings for new clients*** I have always been interested in working with people who don't quite feel like they "fit the mold." I particularly enjoy working with parents and their kids - esp. homeschoolers and folks with ADHD! I use play with purpose to help facilitate communication, awareness, and the therapeutic process. I use a lot of art, crafts & writing to help people express themselves. You will not find a one-size-fits-all approach here, instead we will work together to find an individualized approach that helps empower everyone involved and help you meet your goals! I am telehealth only right now.

Life gets hard sometimes and unfortunately the world we live in doesn’t equip us with the tools needed to take on problems when they arise. Problems can get too big for us to handle, at times infiltrating themselves into various aspects of our lives, taking our agency while making us believe there is something inherently wrong with us. Within my work as a therapist I lead with compassion and empathy, knowing that problems live outside of us and not within us—always staying aware and away from pathologizing practices.

Hi there! My name is Auria Zahed, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression due to the impacts of a negative self-talk, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, or feeling "stuck". In each therapy session, I focus on mental well-being and emotional awareness, and my approach is a combination of a few therapeutic modalities. My sessions incorporate healing past traumas alongside accomplishing present goals. I currently specialize in working with women, victims of narcissistic abuse, and clients who identify as LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC.

Now is the time to focus on growth, healing, purpose and direction in your life. Therapy is a powerful tool for adolescents and young adults when you encounter challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, family issues, substance use, poor self-esteem, relationship issues, + loss. Therapy is an opportunity to find comfort, to build strength and to overcome. For adolescent clients: Life is complicated and the bottom line is that your life can be difficult to navigate. I’m well aware that most young people aren’t thrilled about the idea of going to therapy, know that I am ready to hear you, to respect you and to value you.

Therapy can help you overcome challenges such as addressing negative feelings, making behavioral change, managing a transition, or dealing with grief, loss, and trauma. Therapy is also a great place to learn about strengthening relationships, setting goals, and challenging yourself to be the person you want to be. I have been working with and advocating for individuals, children, and families since 2005. I welcome all clients, but found my techniques to be particularly helpful in working with anxiety, depression, life transition, trauma history, PTSD, grief or loss, and couple & family dynamic issues.

Hello, my name is Grace Usigbe. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health practices.

Do you find yourself running on empty with not enough energy to show up for yourself? Do you feel like a stranger in your own body? Maybe you look in the mirror and hate what you see or are overwhelmed by all the responsibilities of being the perfect mom/dad, daughter, sister/brother, employee, or partner. Wherever you are on your journey, you do not have to do it alone. I am here to help empower, encourage, and support you in your discovery of your inner strengths. Individual therapy can help rebuild your connection with yourself and your purpose.

Although what you are experiencing may feel beyond your ability to cope, you are not alone. Most individuals find comfort knowing that others have been where they are. Many issues faced are in response to some type of loss. Loss takes many forms: loss of self or personal identity, loss of faculties or mobility, the physical loss of a loved one, relationship loss or the lost dream of a perfect marriage or family, or career loss, to name a few. These losses are often sudden, unexpected, or traumatic experiences that can interrupt your life, derail your goals, affect your relationships, and undermine the flow of life transitions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who wants to help you gain the insight you need to live your best life. If anxiety, sadness, past hurts and/or relationship problems are keeping you up at night--or distracted during the day--let's put our heads together and help you feel better. I realize that creating meaningful change in our lives sometimes requires collaboration, accountability and coaching. I’m here to support you in a sincere but candid manner to help you navigate your most difficult obstacles so you can move from simply surviving to steady significance. Sometimes, we all need a little help.

Welcome. It takes tremendous courage to seek professional help. Life is full of hills and valleys. When you feel stuck and alone in deep and dark valley, it is important that you know you don't have to be alone. It is time for you to reconnect with yourself and your loved ones, and restore and strengthen your identity and meaning of your life. I provide you with safety, empathy and understanding. I utilize the evidence based Emotionally Focused Therapy(EFT), Internal Family System(IFS), EMDR and Brainspotting with couples, individuals and families for relationship distress recovery, anxiety, depression, addictions and traumas.

What brings you here today? - Stress, anxiety, guilt, loss, or relationship struggles? Anger, hurt, depression, self-identity or self-worth issues? Or maybe you’ve noticed being “triggered” by people or situations, or have trouble letting go of painful events from the past. Perhaps you’re aware of negative patterns, i.e. different partner, job, or location, but still the same issues. Over time, any of these issues can begin to wear you down, affecting you and your relationships with others, including family, friends and loved ones. We are all in need of support at some time. I am here to listen, care, and give you that support.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma can be hard to navigate on one’s own. Through the use of integrative modalities, my goal is to help you find your way so that you can manage symptoms, feel your best, discover who you truly are, and move forward in the direction of your dreams whereby your past no longer holds you back. Using warmth and compassion, I also aim to provide trauma-informed care to discuss your struggles without judgment and safely process unresolved trauma and feelings.

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.

Do you find yourself having a difficult time coping with anxiety, depression, and trauma? Do you have a hard time communicating and setting boundaries with others? Life is full of obstacles and hardships that may be difficult to overcome without the right tools, resources, and, guidance leading to the manifestation of these symptoms. I specialize in working with adults, couples, and adolescents using a Psychodynamic approach to explore unconscious thoughts and behaviors. In doing this, we are able to collaboratively recognize old ineffective patterns and process unresolved feelings and trauma.
