Therapists in Malibu, CA

Struggling with addiction and feel rehab isn’t an option? Leaving your family, job, school and responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy and 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 fear, failure, guilt, and shame. You may have tried stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. Breaking this cycle alone is tough! Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

You may be going through a time in your life when it has become too complicated or overwhelming; you may be struggling with feelings of loneliness, sadness or anxiety. Maybe you feel unsatisfied with your relationships or simply need to re-evaluate your life to gain a better sense of direction. All of this is happening because it is time to re-examine and attend to yourself. Your life's journey deserves to be explored and you don't have to go through it alone. If you're interested in taking a Holistic Therapeutic Approach or exploring Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, book your consultation and let's begin your healing journey today.

I view the path of a human life span, as each of us interact and perceives the environment around us in our own unique way. My goal is to help client(s) look at their options, evaluate choices, and build toward a healthier outcome. My work has involved helping client(s) toward building better communication between couples, family members, and individual relationships. It is my belief that counseling / psychotherapy can provide a safe place where personal challenges can be processed, and finding choices toward enhancing the quality of life and improve relationships.

I have a client-centered approach that utilizes mindfulness, experiential, and cognitive behavioral methods to help you address compulsive behaviors, addiction, mental health, emotional, and relationship issues with increased awareness and compassion. I am experienced with working with individuals with co-occurring disorders of substance abuse and mental health issues using a family systems approach. I specialize in treating mood disorders, chronic pain, and anxiety disorders. I can help you improve your quality of life and enhance your relationships with loved ones.

Choosing the right therapist is an important process and can impact your therapy experience immensely. I aim to be straightforward and practical, while providing a relaxed and natural flow.

Most people can benefit from change and growth. I look at people or situations from a open and empathetic perspective and seek to see things through their lens. Different things propel us to do what we do, and when we can identify it and accept it, we can then CHOOSE what to do and how to respond rather then "let" things happen. Life happens, yes, but learning how to deal with it and manage it is where the beauty lies. I have 10 yrs of clinical experience, and a life time of life experience. I want to help people become the best version of themselves. I also recognize that each person is unique. Not 1 size fits all.

Trusting and developing our capacities to navigate and effect even the most painful, stressful and overwhelming experiences, is key to overall health, well-being and growth. Understanding our early development and how it touches our present, defining boundaries; internally with thoughts, feelings and expectations, and externally with others, feeling secure in relationships, and being mindful and effective in communicating and reacting, are valuable ways of managing emotional and mental health issues and enhancing peace, trust, healing and growth. I work successfully with clients to develop these traits and states of being.

If you are living with anxiety, depression, or persistent negative thoughts, It can be truly helpful to have someone in your life who is objective, loving and experienced in helping people overcome life's challenges and get back on track.

In order to fine liberation, in regard to any particular issue you are currently experiencing, one must bridge and synchronize the subconscious mind to the conscious mind, and that's where Hypnotherapy can be a highly effective tool. Mina's approach is to hold a loving space for you, while helping you reach a place of deep knowing, so that you can recognize the blockages that are buried inside your subconscious mind, move them through your analytical filter, release, rewrite, and create a bridge, where you can harmonize your subconscious programming, with your conscious decision. Once the bridge is built, liberation is experienced.
