Therapists in Irvine, CA

Greetings! My name is Renee and I'm a licensed clinical social worker. We spend too much time feeling as though we're not good enough or can't achieve our dreams. How we think about ourselves and our environment directly determines how we feel. As a therapist I have had the opportunity to work with clients looking for guidance and relief in many areas such as: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, ADHD symptoms, life transitions, body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria. Please contact me for a 15 min free consultation to see if we are a good fit. I will get back to you within 24 hours.

I work with adults and teenagers who are looking to manage symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. I will be with you on the journey of healing to discovery, recovery, and connection to your true self. I also specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transition issues such as career/academic concerns and relationship stress. I approach therapy with a person-centered mindset to create as comfortable and welcoming an environment as I can. I believe the trust built between you and a therapist is one of the more powerful tools we as clinicians can offer, and I hope to garner that trust in my own practice.

Whether you are a parent looking for a way to help your child grow or gain support during a transition, or a young adult asking important questions about your past or worried about your future, as a therapist at Insight, I provide the support you need. I have a passion for working with young adults and children, striving for a safe space to process difficult life circumstances. For my young adult clients, we can learn new ways of taking care of and showing up for yourself. For my child clients and parents, I provide a safe space for children to play and process stresses in their lives that is essential for holistic healing.

I have been a licensed therapist since 1989. I've been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is very helpful in treating depression and anxiety. Later on, I became interested in effective treatments for trauma and became a certified EMDR therapist in 2009. Since I also provide therapy in Spanish I have an understanding and sensitivity of the immigrant experience and the experience of children of immigrants. I believe my clients have innate strengths and wisdom and it's my pleasure and privilege to help them rediscover this.

I have worked with a diverse group of clients with a plethora of issues including Anxiety, Postpartum Depression and Anxiety, Work Stress, Grief, transitions, cultural issues, gender identify issues. My goal in therapy is to try to help you use coping tools in ways that work for you. I use psychoeducation in my session to help you understand the why of.a intervention.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your thoughts? Are you letting your fears get in the way of living a life you want? Anxiety can feel overwhelming - but there are ways to manage it! I want to help turn the volume down on your anxiety and intrusive thoughts so that you can live the life you want. I like to use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and Mindfulness to help reduce and manage your anxiety. I am now currently accepting new clients via tele-health!

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

We become who we are through our interactions with others both in healthy and sometimes unhealthy ways. Every relationship has the potential to retrigger old patterns of relating as well as the possibility of supporting new more healthy ways. The state of your relationships is the one most essential components in finding happiness and a sense of wellbeing. I believe the quality of your connections with yourself as well as with others can make all the difference.

I truly believe there is hope and growth on the other side of suffering. People experience hurt and pain from things like trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, or grief, and it is my belief everyone has the strength within themselves to heal from it. Through authentic dialogue and collaboration, we will explore your specific feelings, ideas, and contexts to create a new way for you to experience the strength you have within yourself.

My passion is to help others become attuned to their most authentic self, helping them grow into loving themselves wholeheartedly. I acknowledge and validate the experiences my patients have and/or are going through, and I work with them on creating new narratives for their stories so that they can build upon their worth and identity. We all go through challenging experiences in life that is why I work hard on creating a safe place for my patients to share their struggles and pains with me. Using a person-centered approach, I will hold my patients' hands as they proceed forward with their healing journey.

I am accepting clients for online therapy. Life can be a journey filled with ups and downs, and acknowledging the need for support is a powerful testament to your strength and resilience. If you're going through a challenging time, I promise you are not alone. As a therapist, I aim to walk alongside you with empathy and compassion while using an integrative approach to draw on individualized techniques to help you navigate life's challenges.

Are you struggling to cope with difficult emotions? Do you need support coping with current stressors or processing past traumas? Do you wish to identify and release patterns that keep you from being happy? My goal is to guide you through your healing journey by offering a safe space where you can process your emotions, express your thoughts, work toward your goals, and ultimately feel confident in your life choices.

Welcome! You might be here because you need some support in your life, some guidance, navigation, focus, or just someone to talk with. We face demands of work, family, marriage, and relationships daily. Add in financial, personal, and societal pressures to the mix, and life can definitely get overwhelming. Well, you took the first step to taking care of you by seeking help and support. It takes courage to take that first step, and I am so glad you did.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide a safe therapeutic environment with a focus on developing lifelong skills. Working together, we will formulate attainable goals and strive towards greater self-acceptance. My theoretical orientation is primarily through a humanistic lens using strength-based and solution-focused interventions. I believe every individual has specific needs that can be tailored in a collaborative process through treatment. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into my treatment plan, as well as aspects of Psychodynamic Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness.

Welcome to my page! I assist with individuals who struggle with anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues at school, home, or work. If your goals include improving your relationships, academics, communication or overall happiness then you have come to the right place! I would like to assure you that I will assist you by providing treatment that is personalized to your goals and needs. As a young professional, I am able to relate to children, teens, and young adults to build a trusting relationship required for effective treatment and therapy.

Hi there, I'm Lindsay, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I specialize in treating individual adults with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I've helped people to cope more effectively with stress, low self-esteem, and phase of life challenges. I employ techniques from attachment-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT), family systems, humanistic, and psychodynamic modalities. I have helped many people learn how to set boundaries, speak about difficult issues, explore themselves, discuss life transitions, gain insight, end unproductive patterns, accept themselves, and discover how life experiences have impacted them.

It can be difficult to get started in talking with someone about the struggles you are facing. Therapy can be a space for you to tell your life story that deserves to be heard.

I have worked over 20 years as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. My approach to therapy is based on the idea that the most important ingredient in psychotherapy is the relationship that develops between the therapist and the patient. The patient must feel comfortable, safe and understood. This type of trusting environment motivates the exploration of self and enables individuals to reach their full personal potential (self-actualization).

Welcome to a space of healing and self-discovery. I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a passion for guiding individuals on their journey towards mental well-being. I work collaboratively with clients to address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. I believe in the innate resilience of each person and work collaboratively to empower clients in navigating life's complexities.
