Person-Centered Therapists in Fullerton, CA

I work with adults and young adults who identify as QTPOC, Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those that are a part of the adult entertainment industry. Within these identity categories, I have specific experience helping folks process around marginalized experiences, microaggressions and trauma, navigation of medical transition services, and communication about their relationships and identities. I also have experiences supporting straight and cis identified clients struggling with shame, alternative relationships, and supporting QTPOC loved ones.

I utilize a client centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. In a safe, supportive, and non judgemental space we can explore the negative patterns in your life, work through any barriers, and move towards healing, growth, and change.

Is your anxiety disrupting your day to day life? Are you struggling with work, relationships, adjustment to life transitions, or cultural pressures? You may be struggling now, but you can live an authentic life beyond the struggle. You can learn to alleviate confusion and pain. You deserve a safe space to feel and express without inhibition. You deserve to feel heard and seen without fear of judgment and shame.

Life is hard. We all find times in our lives when it just feels like too much. Expectations and pressures weighing on us; fears and self-doubt keeping us immobilized; uncertainty about the future and regrets from the past making it difficult to enjoy anything in the here and now. Therapy isn’t just about looking at childhood experiences and discovering “why” we do what we do. It’s also about how to move forward: what do we unpack, unload, discard, or take with us? I can’t make life easy for you, but I can help guide you and walk with you in support of your journey to figure out how to lighten the load.

Greetings! My name is Shamaine Ford and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I became a therapist because I saw how important mental health was and the impact it had in the community I lived in as a child. I believe the human mind is like a flower. If you nurture it, it will grow. My therapy model is to look at any obstacles from a strength-based perspective and to build on those attributes. Other evidence-based models I practice are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and teaching mindfulness.

I provide warm, empathetic, and effective care to individuals, couples, and families using some of the best, scientifically validated methods available. My goal is to help you find quick relief while developing the kinds of solutions that have long term, positive results. Because everyone is different, I customize treatment to the specific needs of each person I work with and I go at the client's desired pace.

Are you struggling with issues and concerns that cause a need for a better understanding of what led you to the place you currently stand? Have you reached a point where you want to look at your past, present, and future to examine causes, barriers, and relationships that are affecting where you want to be as opposed to where you are currently? As you break generational, environmental, and societal curses, change will occur. Healing isn't about fault or blame but recovery. I want to assist you as you walk toward the best and most effective self you can be.

At times when we feel overwhelmed, it seems easiest to escape or run away. The challenge with this is that even with a fresh start, the emotions still linger. I would like to sit with you and process these uncomfortable feelings and find ways to cope with seemingly impossible circumstances. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I work from a person-centered approach, believing my clients have the skills and strength within to grow and thrive.

Hi there! I know it takes courage to reach out for help, so great job taking that first step. Whether you are looking for guidance or a trusted person to listen and reflect - I can be that support. You do not have to be alone in your struggles. When life gets overwhelming the first thing to get pushed aside is our most important relationship, the one we have with ourself. When we learn to give ourselves the attention and compassion we so readily offer others, it can be life changing. I offer a space to talk free of judgment and full of empathy. We can work together to figure out how you can truly live the life you desire.

I work primarily with adults who are wanting to manage symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I will be with you on your path to discovery, recovery, and finding the person you would like to become. I approach therapy with a client-centered approach in order to create a safe, comfortable space for you to share and express yourself, and your vulnerabilities. We will explore healthy ways to process your trauma, regulate difficult emotions, and restore broken relationships. I believe the trust built between Client and Therapist is powerful, and necessary in order to help you through your healing journey.

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.
