Turkish Therapists in La Habra Heights, CA

My clients are the type to do things perfectly, yet their best never feels good enough. They often find themselves grappling with anxiety in trying to make the “right” decision in many aspects of their life. My clients also want the best for the world. They can easily care for others yet often forget to care for themselves. Life can feel daunting when you carry the weight of the world and push your needs aside. But it doesn't have to be this way. By working together, you can learn to let go of your inner critic and self doubt, and find a self outside of achievements and the expectations of others. Website: www.jessicavtherapy.com

"HELL is PROXIMITY without INTIMACY". If you are physically close to your partner, but feel like thousands of miles away, then you can certainly relate to this definition.

My passion is to bring couples emotionally closer, and to help them CONNECT again. I work with individuals and couples going through life transitions (i.e.birth of children) or difficult issues such as affairs, trust, jealousy, and communication issues.

Our clients come to us at points where they are caught in waves of emotional turbulence. Feeling these strong emotions of anxiety and/or depression can be confusing.

They say, "The first step in always the hardest". Although this is true in many circumstances, it is especially true when it comes to seeking therapy.

That said, I want to commend you on taking the first step and getting the process of finding the right therapist for you started. You've gotten through one of the harder parts of this journey!

I’m a big believer that therapy is for everyone. More than ever, with all the traumas of the last couple of years, folks of all races, cultures, and ages are in need of a healthy, safe, and judgment-free space to process and heal. I’ve spent the last decade providing counseling services and I have a passion for diversity, equity, and advocacy for those who face systemic barriers to mental health. My therapeutic relationships are grounded in unconditional support and positive regard. In a world full of adversity and disenfranchisement, it is invaluable to see ourselves as resilient and capable.

To be 'human' is such a simple and yet such a deep and miraculous concept. Suffering is a natural part of human experience and emotional avoidance is one of the main causes of psychological problems. Avoiding negative emotions may bring you short term relief but in the long term it will end up with pain. When we accept a negative emotion, it tends to lose its destructive power. Therapy is a healing journey where the alliance between client and therapist plays an extremely important role in the process of acceptance.
