Therapists in Torrance, CA

Hello, my name is Nothi Ncube-Kearley. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. I provide services to clients of all ages including young adults and adults. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, and other adjustment-related issues. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and other theoretical approaches. I primarily work with young adults and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and work stress. My goal is to work with my clients to cope and deal with life stressors.

I'm the chief psychologist at Psych Lab, a private mental health practice focused on using careful assessment and depth-oriented psychotherapy to help you achieve total health. Not just symptom relief - real mental health and well-being. Joy. Happiness. Fulfillment. Therapy at Psych Lab begins with an in-depth screening process that reveals a lot of personal strengths, needs, and personality aspects that other therapists will never even find out about. Then, you'll receive an in-depth, one-on-one evaluation to help develop that understanding into something actionable. What do we need to -do- to help you get un-stuck?

Please email me. DON'T CALL. I am a trauma-focused, EMDR-certified, clinical registered Art Therapist, and Marriage and Family Therapist. My offering is for those who wish to understand how one’s mind develops and how the body reacts to certain people or situations. The past has shaped our personality and habits, causing difficulty in living life at this moment. We will explore past experiences in order to identify the root(s) of the presenting symptoms so that we can be free to have choices and wisdom to take action for a healthier future.

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood. Given that each individual is unique, and no one issue is ever the same among different people, my approach is integrative and tailored to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment for patients to learn, grow, explore, challenge, and to live the life they want to be living. I specialize in working with adults - individual, couples, and family - with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.

I have an affinity for working with people who have suffered from childhood abuse. Many people who have experienced childhood abuse suffer from low-self esteem, depression, and anxiety. These conditions cause people to have difficulties connecting with others, maintaining a steady job or to have healthy families. Such individuals may experience workplace bullying or may feel chronically lonely. Other clientele that I enjoy working with have insecure attachment styles, are going through IVF or living in solitude not by choice.

Hello there, my name is Vanessa Del Rio, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Palm Springs, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help my clients feel better and make progress that will enhance their lives. My overall approach is warm and personable. My therapy styles vary based on the needs of each client I work with.

It can be hard to make the decision to start therapy, and equally as hard to stick to it. This is one of the primary reasons I became a therapist, to help those who’ve struggled with conventional methods. My experience has had a big impact on how I’ve structured clinical practice, leading me to throw the proverbial couch out the window and go with a more direct, accountability-based approach. Whether you’re working on processing a negative self-image, relationship difficulty, career stressors, or other symptoms related to anxiety or depression, we’ll always be working to build mindfulness, purpose, and intention towards your goals.

What would your life look like with less anxiety, healthier relationships, more productivity, improved self-esteem and better personal effectiveness? I believe we are wired to want these things; but sometimes don’t have the tools to achieve them. We can’t change the past, but we can understand what is at the root of present-day challenges and move on from them. Additionally, I provide tools and effective communication strategies to help propel you forward toward your goals and dreams Clients sometimes say, “I wish I’d tried therapy a long time ago”. You are ready when you are ready. It’s never too late for positive self-growth!

I believe in self-actualization and I am an advocate for personal growth. Learning more about ourselves through the development of insight into our triggers and stressors can help us take our life back, especially when feeling out of control. Throughout my individual work with clients, I take an approach to therapy that is both patient and honest in nature. I like to describe my therapeutic style as empowering, open-minded, and warm. I challenge my clients in a respectful and safe environment, with client-identified goals leading the journey.

I am passionate about helping people to progress on their life journey toward wellbeing. I believe most of out distress and conflicts stem from maladaptive understanding of self and our perceived needs, of others, the world, and of God. Accordingly, a step toward health begins with increasing self awareness and insight into ourselves, our problems, and the ability to see the reality in growing clarity which result in changed thoughts, feelings and actions.

Life can happen at any moment and it’s at those precise moments in life that often lead one to experience a state of confusion, feel as if one is losing all sense of control in their life, have an inability to cope, or even lose any sight of hope that things can or will improve. It's in these times of turmoil that one can only do their best to manage the unexpected. Should it involve a loss, depression or anxiety, relationship or behavioral issues, or more complex mental health issues, I would love to provide a unique experience for you to process and address the issues that may be causing you to feel stuck or troubled in life.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other difficult life events? Do you feel hopeless, unseen, and disconnected from yourself? Have you noticed that things that used to be easy for you have become more challenging? In these times, it's common for people to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure about how to manage their relationships and lives. It's easy to put our own needs aside and forget to take care of ourselves, but this can lead to long-term issues for our mental & physical health. I believe that it shouldn't be so hard to live a better life & I am here to help you make positive changes.

"Feeling connected and understood is one of the greatest gifts of therapy. Another is not feeling alone as you face the burden of your personal struggle. I am here to listen, encourage, and acknowledge you. Together we can discover how to reduce your anxiety and depression. We can grieve your losses and you will learn how to trust in your ability to move forward. Whether it is the violation of health issues, the breakup from a relationship, or the persistent wounds of childhood, life can be different and more meaningful. There is hope and possibility."

Hello, my name is Brian Fernandez. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). My approach in therapy is focused on providing you with coping skills to help you manage stressors, while at the same time helping you identify changes you may want to make that enable you to lead a more genuine and fulfilling life. My areas of practice focus on depression, anxiety, grief, and interpersonal relationships. By far the majority of clients I've worked with have been young adults struggling with anxiety and/or depression. I've also been privileged to have helped many people dealing with grief, as well as interpersonal relationships.

y passion lies in empowering people to overcome the obstacles that stand between them and their full potential. I understand that life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, but with the right support, you can regain control, find balance, and rediscover your inner strength. With years of experience and a compassionate approach, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

Do you struggle with anxiety, past trauma, depression, grief, or loss of a sense of self? Do you find your day-to-day life, relationships, ability to function, your work, career impacted? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost by just getting through the day, answering emails, texts or calls, the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body.

We are in it to win it! Let's work together to bring healing in your life, for your children, in your relationship, and for your family!
