Therapists in Long Beach, CA

I traditionally work with stressed teens, men that have trouble identifying their emotional difficulties, women that feel under appreciated, LGBT persons, and couples struggling with intimacy issues. I have a contemplative and humanistic approach to therapy that stresses the inherent value and worth of every person. How we come to understand our sense of self worth can be elaborated with sociological, anthropological, and various academic lenses, but at the end of the day, your experience of your life is what I am interested in.

I am passionate about helping individuals in the transgender community navigate the unique challenges that come with gender identity and expression. As a transgender person myself, I understand firsthand the complexity of these issues and the importance of providing a safe and inclusive space for clients to explore their identity. I believe that every person has the capacity to heal and grow, and I am committed to providing a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their identity, work through challenges, and build resilience. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship issues.

Are you struggling in your closest relationships? Are you feeling anxious? Depressed? Do you want to find healing from issues in your childhood? Do you struggle with the 'imposter syndrome,' where you are capable in many areas of your life, but deep down feel incompetent or worthless? I can help you find the healing you need. I bring 15+ years of experience of helping people work through their depression, anxiety and the underlying wounds, unmet needs and relationship patterns.

I love working with clients who feel like their hope is gone. By examining the root of your problems, we will work together to create deep and lasting change. I don't believe problems of the human heart are solved by quick fixes and simple platitudes. They often require a deeper journey that can't be done alone.

Bad things are bound to happen in life - this is just part of being alive. Sometimes it is easy for us to bounce back to our to normal lives & then there are those other times where it seems as if we are stuck on a rollercoaster of emotions with no end in sight. And then at other moments, we think that we've dealt with this bad thing, only to have it keep popping up in random ways in our lives. Being in that kind of place can feel frustrating, confusing, lonely, and let's face it, pretty scary because it is difficult to know what to do, where to go, or who to turn to for help.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or just feel alone carrying the weight of your trauma, I am here to help you begin your journey towards healing. I provide treatment for children and their families that experience depression, anxiety, disruptive behaviors, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, autism spectrum, parenting skills, and other mental health issues. I approach each of my clients with a kind, compassionate, and caring approach to form a genuine therapeutic bond where you will feel comfortable, be understood, and have hope knowing you do not have to carry the burden alone.

Do you find yourself shut down or suppress your feelings? Do you struggle in relationships due to your trauma? Are you unsure of where you belong? I work with people of all identities to process unresolved feelings due to trauma. I strive to provide you a safe and non-judgmental space, in order for you to develop coping mechanisms for trauma symptoms (anxiety, depression, addiction, etc.) and to explore aspects of yourself. I can help you let go of past HURTS and develop tools to find RELIEF.

Hi I'm Rachel. I am the Founder of Shoreline Center for Eating Disorder Treatment. After 22 years. I have recently sold Shoreline and am going back to my roots and passion for providing direct clinical care via teletherapy.

One leads to change the other leads to shame. I am here to walk next to you in your desire for healing. My main focus is eating disorders, however, I also offer ecotherapy and general therapy life's challenges.

Online and phone sessions are easily available.

You feel stuck and numb. You're just going through the motions, trying to get through the day, knowing you will wake up the next day just to do the same thing all over again. When you are low, you are low, but very rarely, if ever, do you have any highs. You can’t remember the last time you felt happy and wonder if you have ever felt happy. It feels like carrying the weight of the world every day and you're exhausted. You don’t necessarily want to die, but you struggle with the idea of living as you are now. You just need something to change, a hand to help pull you out of the darkness, or a little hope. That's where I come in.

We are a group practice comprised of both licensed clinicians and associates with eclectic backgrounds. We're dedicated to helping the lives of those in our community. We work with adolescents (12+), adults, and those in the LGBT community too, and we work with many different mental health issues. Our style is warm, inviting, collaborative, and judgement free. 100% virtual. We accept medi-cal that's managed by MHN/Healthnet but no other medi-cal plan.

I generally work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use, and other mental health concerns, as well as social and relationship issues causing stress in couples and family relationships. I utilize several modalities in my practice. I believe the role of a therapist is that of a collaborator and I tailor my approach to the needs of my clients.

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.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

Building solid, trusting relationships is among my greatest strengths as a therapist. It is essential for me to help you work on your issues without fear of criticism and a secure sense that you feel accepted. I strive to create a safe, productive place for you to grow, learn and change. I take a comprehensive approach in my work so that we may consider your life experiences, biology and social environment - all of which influence who you are. We will work collaboratively to identify and change repetitive patterns that may be getting in your way.

When your present circumstances or experiences overwhelm your ability to cope, it may be time to do something different. If you've been struggling to feel like the parent, professional, or partner that you know you want to be, and you're ready to break the cycles that have been holding you back, let's get to work. I utilize evidence-based practices to help you rewire your brain and get out of your own way. We’ll work as a team to support the growth of your strengths and healthy behaviors, and to clear out anything from your past that no longer serves you.
