Therapists for Teens in Brea, CA

Accepting New Client! Are you feeling “depressed”, "worried", and “anxious” navigating through life transitions? Do you feel stuck in the past? Is your emotional distress due to your relationship, trauma, grief, or sexual identity? Do you feel, I/We have tried everything, but nothing seems to work. Are you tired of giving explanations about your culture and immigration challenges? Are you looking for a non-judgmental and a safe place to unravel your life stories? If so, this is the therapist who wants to help individuals, couples, and families by meeting them where they are at, and instilling hope and positive resources within them.

Do you live in constant fear? Are you overwhelmed by grief? Do you find yourself feeling sad, withdrawn, irritable, and lonely? Are you struggling to communicate with your teen? Do you often wonder why they behave in certain ways? If so, I would like to help. We all would like to think we are strong enough to overcome these issues on our own, but there comes a time when we need to reach out for additional help. I specialize in treating trauma (specifically sexually abuse), mood disorders, and grief. I also have worked extensively with teens and their families, so I know the problems that are unique to teens.

:: CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS :: I believe that it takes courage to meet with a therapist, and I am sensitive to the journeys that lead people to my office. I utilize a friendly, collaborative approach in developing relationships with my clients. I feel that the most important change agent in the treatment process is the relationship between client and therapist. I strive to help my clients feel comfortable and safe, and help empower them to build skills to help manage stressors and overcome obstacles. I use a strengths-based approach to help my clients move from where they are to where they want to be.

You are meant to live a meaningful, passionate, and humorous life. And a portion of human suffering stems from circumstances beyond our control. I want you to know that your sadness, grief, anxiety, anger, or relationship issues are welcome here. I care about your emotional health, and I see you. The first step in establishing a healthier way of thinking and increasing an emotional balance is by having someone to talk to. I provide compassionate, non-intrusive methods and inspirational counseling that produces freedom of past and present challenges that may alleviate symptoms or reduce psychological and emotional suffering.

You may want to work with me if you are a parent looking for support for your child, an adolescent/teen that needs someone to talk things through such as home/relationship/school stressors, a young adult balancing life's problems, or a couple looking for communication help. I have experience in working with delicate issues surrounding the Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+ community, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.

As the parent of a struggling child or teen, you may find yourself wondering what you can do to help them feel better. Adolescents are facing unique challenges that can feel overwhelming like social media, bullying, self-esteem issues, anxiety and depression. Not to mention some of the difficulties you may have faced as a family, like adoption, divorce, death of a loved one, or a traumatic event. You can see that your child is struggling, but they won’t even talk to you or they don’t have the language to communicate their big feelings to you. How do you help your child when you are not sure where to start? Well I am here to help.

Which therapist is the right fit for you? Someone you trust and provides confidence of being able to meet your needs is the most important ingredient in my line of work. Navigating pitfalls of life and relations doesn't have to be a puzzle. Worrying about the future and thinking of the past can keep us from living. I enjoy witnessing the potentials of others I have the opportunity to work with come alive. Learning skills to navigate the challenges life brings our way is quite a relief. Seeing people meet their goals and grow beyond what they imagined is a realistic outcome for those who choose to enter therapy.

From the outside you are this high achieving teenager that meets everyone's expectations. But on the inside, you have anxiety and are silently drowning. You never feel good enough. You feel exhausted constantly worrying about what others think of you and trying to keep afloat. You consistently push your emotions to the side to please others and not disappoint. You are feeling lonely, outgrowing friendships, and feeling guilty wanting more in your friendships. You feel nervous and anxious about making new friends for fear they won't like you. We understand and we are here to help.

Hello there! As scary and uncomfortable as it may be, I'm glad you're here. We are all a collection of our experiences. And sometimes those experiences can be painful and disorienting. Things can happen, relationships can be strained, and we can become overwhelmed, exasperated, devasted, or all of the above, at the same time. I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from therapy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, dealing with severe trauma or substance abuse, adjusting to a significant change or loss in your life, or struggling in relationships, I would be honored to be on this journey with you.

Our clients feel comfortable in our space as we help them redefine who they are. Are you a new mom? Empty nesting parent? Graduated college 10 years ago?

I am passionate about helping my clients find their voice, create a space for their truth to be heard and realigning themselves to what they value most in life.

Welcome to Life Stance! It is my honor and privilege to work as a licensed clinical professional that can meet your needs for quality psychological care. It takes a lot of courage to seek quality mental health care, and I invite you to take a deep breath and allow me to support you in your journey towards mental healing. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist that has practiced psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families since 2005. I believe that every individual has the right to integrate their mind, body and soul to make up an authentic being and maintain quality relationship with others.

Feeling out of control over what you care about the most can make you feel like your world is crumbling around you. Feelings of worry, fear, confusion, anger, and sadness can make your relationships, parenting, work, or your education seem impossible and feel like a heavy burden. My passion is helping people realize or remember that they are capable, strong, worthy, and significant. I look to understand your pain and concern, and I want to tell you that you CAN overcome these obstacles that come your way in life. Having peace of mind is a mind frame.

My experience enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care. I treat a number of mental health disorders, and provide a neutral ground to individuals, families, children, and couples. Parenting is not an easy road to navigate. I am effective in helping parents learn new skills to help them manage behavioral concerns with children and teens; as well as teaching new strategies to children and teens to help improve cohesiveness within the family system. Traumatic events can feel paralyzing. I am passionate in working through trauma to help an individual to find their inner strength, and happiness again.

Change can be stressful. LIFE can be stressful! Sometimes, the transition might be the birth of a child, a new job, a new relationship or it could involve the loss of a loved one, or coping with a family member being ill. I am particularly passionate about helping women, especially those entering parenthood, those living with grief & loss or those entering a new stage of life. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sadness or even hopelessness, you do not have to feel alone. Those recurring thoughts of self doubt or painful relational patterns CAN be changed.

Michael D. Evans-Zepeda is a Psychologist in California who has been practicing since 2011. It takes vulnerability and courage to reach out, especially when we are in pain. When working with clients, Michael does his best to co-create a safe containing environment that allows us to explore, integrate, change, and accept difficult aspects of our lived experience. This is accomplished through the exploration of how the past comes into the present moment and by working in the relational space between therapist and client.
