I spent the a decade working in the addiction treatment industry. Working in that industry opened my eyes to the need for adequate trauma treatment so I became trained as an EMDR practitioner. In studying mind- body approaches to trauma, such as EMDR, I learned about the effectiveness of Eastern Practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi and Meditation in treating a range of psychological challenges.

As a Life Coach who also specializes in ADHD, I want you to know that you are not alone in your journey. I can help you manage and improve on: impulsively, distraction, emotional self-regulation, focus, decision-making, time management, procrastination, self-negative talk, low self-confidence, and anxiety. These challenges can create a negative thought that you can not accomplish your life, family, education, or career goals.

I want to support you through it all and see you get those “A-ha” moments! Whether it’s changing negative thoughts or behaviors, creating healthier habits, setting new goals, loving yourself more, managing stress, building coping skills & problem solving, improving your relationships, or creating balance in your life, I’m here to help with your growth and change.

Hello, my name is Stephan Paul Ouellette. I have been a licensed clinical social worker in the state of California since 2000. I approach therapy from a client-centered, collaborative, empathic, and strengths-based perspective. I have 25-plus years of experience working with folks living with HIV/AIDS and from the LGBTQ-plus communities. My primary focus is helping clients to proactively respond to such conditions as depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, substance use and abuse concerns, and adjustment to chronic and sometimes life-threatening health conditions.

My theoretical approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Theory and many successful techniques (humanistic, strategic, psychodynamic, and solution focused), which allows me to personally tailor your therapy session based upon your unique needs in an eclectic and integrated approach to therapy. Therapist flexibility is a valuable tool in helping my clients gain a balanced perspective on the life issues they are facing. I view therapy as a collaborative, sharing experience and seek to help my clients feel safe, comfortable, and truly understood.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in California, specializing in individual and group therapy. I have over 20 years of experience providing services to adults and adolescents including case management, individual and group therapy. I work with clients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and other modalities to help them learn how to recognize and change unhealthy or painful patterns in their lives.

If you find yourself overwhelmed, stressed, reactive, burdened or disconnected from yourself and others, you are in the right place. Maybe perfectionism and a harsh inner critic is keeping you from feeling comfortable in your body and relationships. Maybe you are turning toward food, media or substances to soothe yourself. If this is you, I can help you move toward healing. I help people navigate the complicated aspects of being human. My hope is that during our work together you will heal from past traumas, disconnection and pain and will leave your work with me feeling more secure, peaceful and clear about who you are.

Everyone has an inner critic that is demanding, judgmental, and critical of the self. Some have harsher inner critics than others; however, my goal is for my clients to experience less criticism and more curiosity and self-compassion. Self-criticism is debilitating. It can lead to depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, cutting, substance abuse, infidelity and the list goes on. As I work with my clients to develop more self-awareness and self-understanding, they begin to develop more self-compassion and their symptoms begin to dissipate.

You're entirely powerless. You've begun isolating from your family. The shame is so deep that you're afraid to look them in the eye. They'll surely see the heavy secret you've been carrying. You've tried to be "good enough" for him, but the cycle of emotional abuse and manipulation is never-ending. You've begun to question your sanity. You made excuses for their behavior, his "moods". You've changed yourself to appease him and lost yourself in the process. You no longer recognize the woman in the mirror with her sad and tired eyes. You've disconnected from you friends and the things you once loved. You've lost who you are.

As a First-gen Latina, I know all too well the courage it takes to recognize you might need counseling. This is why it is important when you do reach out for help; you have access to someone who can understand your cultural background. My passion and desire as a therapist are to work with people of diverse backgrounds and cultures who are often overlooked in the therapeutic setting.

Are you going through tough time, feeling stressed out and get overwhelmed easily? do you suffer from anxiety and depression? do you feel that life is just too hard to handle right now? Are you struggling in your relationships? do you feel like you can't get over the painful memories and hurt from your past trauma and abuse? These are common feelings and you are not alone. I'm here for you and would love to come along side of you in your journey of healing to have a better and fulfilling life. I provide unconditional acceptance, genuine compassion, and a safe haven for you to tell your story without being judged.
