Therapists in Long Beach, CA

I am honored to build an affirmative practice that brings in-depth, contemporary, relational psychotherapy to my community. I hope to build therapeutic relationships that encourage my clients to process and fully experience emotions, move through depression and anxiety, and re-frame negative thoughts and patterns with a deeper understanding of their origins. Together, we engage bravely (and playfully) with unexamined thoughts, feelings and experiences!

I provide relational somatic therapy for adults, kids & teens. Therapy with me is integrative, including woven layers of modalities designed with your specific needs in mind. Our work is a collaboration with your mind, body, and soul. Non-judgement. Warmth. Active conversations and appropriate humor. Integrative therapy works successfully to treat mental health issues, emotional distress, and trauma triggers, and is great for kids/teens through art-therapy, body-awareness, and non-directive play. Psychotherapy, to me, is personal, political, & social. It takes courage, strength, and hope to live into who you really are.

I provide therapy to individuals, children, couples, and families to help them to find the best solutions to their problems. Whether you are looking to improve yourself, your relationships, or help others in your family, you will find my services to be supportive yet challenging enough to help reach your goals.

Hi there! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in gender and sexuality. I've been doing this work for more than ten years and enjoy it immensely. I value deep connection and enjoy helping people make positive changes in their lives. ​ Some of my areas of interest include: intersectional identity, anxiety, relational issues, and ADHD.

Welcome to our space! I recognize the effort It takes to see inside and looking for a therapist. With intergenerational(trauma), we learn to exist as a way to survive and move along life with little meaning. Still, we can transform that which no longer helps but harms. The journey of self-discovery and healing is one of most precious gifts we ca do for ourselves and our lineage. We may seek therapy to have healthier relationships with ourselves, partners, and others; feeling safer; reclaiming our identity; thrive authentically in the world; reparent our inner child; connect to our path in this lifetime; and healing the soul.

Are you struggling with perfectionism or feeling like an outsider? My mission is to create a safe, trusting environment where you can be comfortable to examine yourself and your relationships. I understand opening up can be intimidating, so we'll build a strong foundation of trust together by finding ways to understand where you’re coming from and what you need.

Do you feel like the weight of past experiences, secrets, or questions about your identity are holding you back from living a fulfilling life? Are you struggling with sexual trauma, childhood abuse, or other forms of trauma that have left you feeling overwhelmed & powerless? We're here to help. As a feminist therapist & board-certified expert in treating trauma & PTSD, I have extensive experience in helping people just like you regain control of their lives. Whether you're dealing with sexual, gender, cultural identity issues, or any form of abuse, I offer a safe and empowering space where you can work through your issues & heal.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. Maybe you're feeling stuck, anxious, alone, in pain, or have the sense that something is missing. Many of my clients have childhood experiences of neglect or abuse, difficult attachment experiences, trauma, and other histories that continue to affect the present. Together we will collaborate to create a safe, compassionate space where all parts of you can be seen without judgement. We will explore the past, identify and transform old patterns, and develop a present that supports deeper connection to self and others. We'll even find moments of humor and joy.

Accepting new clients! Maybe everything looks fine from the outside, but inside you're anxious and overwhelmed. Perhaps you're feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure of who you even are. Do you feel like you've tried everything but something is still missing - you're yearning for more? Whether you’re here to address past trauma, manage anxiety or depression, explore your identity, navigate relationships, or any other reason - I'm here to help you make sense of it all and move forward.

Our experiences shape who we are. Our identities influence the way we perceive and interact with the world, and the way the world perceives and interacts with us. Navigating the world in my intersectional identity, I understand the importance of providing an intentional and affirming space for folx from marginalized communities. As such, I offer a holistic approach to therapy that addresses the unique needs and identities of my clients. I work with women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and veteran communities. I also work with individuals who have experienced some form of abuse, trauma, oppression, inequity, or violence.

If you’re feeling like you don’t belong, then you’ve nearly found yourself. Our society keeps us fragmented from ourselves. Our days are overfilled but somehow we’re left empty; we’re constantly socializing, yet we feel lonely. We are starving for acceptance and connection, for someone to listen and understand. Maybe you feel out of place and overwhelmed. Maybe you’re standing alone against the insurmountable and need a safe place to rest. Or maybe you can’t find your guiding light and the world feels dark. If you’re having these experiences, I want to be there with you, to connect with you.

Being a therapist not only involves the training we are provided nor the previous clients with whom we have worked with. In my opinion, it involves the humility to allow one's client to feel safe enough to share the most vulnerable parts of their experiences in order for both of us to feel connected and moving in the same direction. My style of treatment follows my beliefs above. While we take our time bonding, I will be working to put the pieces together that you may be unable to see. Once we have a pattern established, we will go at your speed, perhaps with a light nudge from me, in order to discover the origins of your issues.

I identify as a queer, femme, Chicana therapist. I provide Psychotherapy that is Intersectional and Trauma-informed treatment. Combining techniques of traditional Psychodynamic Therapy as well as Somatic Therapy together we investigate your past and what is happening currently in your body (physical pain, ailments, sensations) in relation to environmental triggers (systemic racism, queer & trans-phobia, sexism, micro-aggressions), as well as attachment styles that inform your core beliefs to get you to a place of a fully developed and embodied sense of self and well being.

My goal is to help you laugh about the absurdities in life— like the idea of “normal” (Reality: No such thing). You can learn to let go of the idea there is a “right” way to exist, and proudly be your most authentic self in relationships, in work, and in identity. I believe we all have a choice in our healing—and you deserve to choose who you want to become, despite all you've been through. Whether we connect through Telehealth or meet in person for Walk & Talk therapy (for local Denver clients only), I am committed to providing personalized support.

I support couples in moving from disconnection to connection. I work with couples who lack emotional intimacy, have recurring conflicts, no physical affection, have communication issues, and feel frustrated. My treatment approach is through a blend of Energy Psychology, Imago Relationship, and Somatic Therapy. My goal is to turn negativity and conflict into opportunities for growth and healing. I assist couples in understanding their early childhood attachment and how it currently affects them, communicate with compassion, react to conflict with curiosity rather than judgment, and learn to rekindle the passion.
