Therapists in Long Beach, CA

Hi and Welcome, I am Melissa Medina, a Bilingual-Spanish Speaking, License Marriage and Family Therapist 129577, providing one-on-one individual therapy. Through our journey, I wholeheartedly believe that our therapeutic relationship holds the foundation to help uncover and untangle the many layers we carry to survive in our lives. My passion is working with adults who profoundly want to rediscover and dismantle their layers and break free while bringing wholeness and wellness into their everyday lives.

Hi!, my name is Krissy, and I'm here to guide you on a journey towards healing, growth, and stronger relationships. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and effective mental health services to individuals, couples, and families. Life presents us with a myriad of challenges, from navigating personal struggles to managing relationship dynamics. In these moments, seeking support can be a transformative step towards reclaiming your well-being and fostering resilience. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Struggling with addiction & feel rehab isn’t an option? Want to adjust your relationship with a substance instead of being told you must quit? Leaving your family, job, school or responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy & on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard...feelings of anxiety, guilt, & shame. You may have tried cutting back or stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful pattern. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

Do you experience difficulty with managing depression, anxiety, or OCD? Are you suffering due to past trauma, or due to negative self-talk. In therapy, you can learn to cope with stressors and life transitions more effectively. Therapy can help you to manage worry, experience less anger, increase motivation, and feel more centered. Many people who struggle with sadness, stress, relationship conflicts, trauma, worry, or low self-esteem find it difficult to function at work, in their family environment, and in other social settings.

My name is Yasuko Mikajiri (三ヶ尻　靖子). I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, working in the mental health field for over 20 years, after having emigrated from Japan, treating variety of people with their unique issues.

Effective therapy starts with finding the right therapist for you. I am an experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with clients of all ages. I place great importance on each person’s voice and perspective, whether you are coming to see me individually, as a couple, or as a family.

Have you experienced a change in your life that you are finding hard to handle? Sometimes life can present challenges which are difficult to overcome or cope with on our own. Having a trusted, caring, and competent individual on your side can help you overcome challenges, cope with unwanted changes, and grow individually. This growth can improve your relationships with self, significant others, family, friends, and in your profession.

Seeking treatment can seem like a daunting task, from choosing the perfect therapist who also accepts your insurance, to doing the actual therapeutic work. My advice: filter your search by insurance & location first and go from there.

Hello, I am Katharina! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am based in Petaluma, California, and work with clients statewide via Telehealth. I am honored to be part of conversations that help my clients feel stronger, clearer, and more connected to themselves and their important relationships. I believe therapy can be an incredibly valuable space to find clarity and support when we need it most. Good conversations help us identify what's ours, what old stories we may carry that do not serve us anymore, and what tools we can access and utilize towards the changes we are seeking.

I believe in therapeutic conversation; I am not the 'expert' on your life; you are that expert. My expertise lies in facilitating dialogue that looks at the obstacles currently blocking your preferred vision for your current and future self. My ultimate quarry is change: not just the hoped for differences you may want from your partner, your job, your family, but the changes from within that you must incorporate. The old adage really is true: you can only change yourself. Truly effective therapy happens when you are honestly ready to tackle the person in the mirror.

I work with individuals dealing with life's stressors, feeling unbalanced or overwhelmed.

Issues that often cause recurring problems in relationships, parenting, and at work. Se habla espanol.

What is your path, your desires or even your stressors? Maybe it’s time for you to find out your inner strengths and unleash the greatness that is inside of you. We go through life with thoughts and beliefs that keep us stagnant and demotivated. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, marital issues, childhood trauma or other mental health issues? Maybe you’re in the winter years of your life and feel helpless, unneeded or a burden to your family. Well, if any of these things resonate with you, it’s about time to seek a therapist that can work alongside of you to reach your goals.
