Parenting Therapists in 90802

I've been working with parents to find solutions to common behavioral problems. I work from an evidenced based, positive parenting approach. I also work with children with difficulties related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, tantrums, defiance, coping skills, & other problematic behavior.

Hello, welcome! My name is Sherry Gonzalez. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I am based in Whittier, but work with clients throughout California through Telehealth. I work with women and children and specialize in parenting, anxiety, depression and transitional stages in life. I work through a psychodynamic therapy approach. I also have training in Perinatal Mood Disorders and experience with parenting and child development.

People sometimes live their entire lives, and never receive care for problems that lead to depression, anxiety, or stress, that interferes in relationships and careers. If this is you, I look forward to working with you, through Virtual Telehealth. This is provided to accommodate busy schedules, so if you have a cell phone, tablet, or computer, you can be in therapy. Care is provided with empathy and compassion, to address your specific requirements. We will work together to identify, and manage whatever contributes to your current need(s), and as we work towards change, the awesome person you are, will be revealed!

Do you feel powerless, hopeless and lost with your pre-teen/adolescent? Are your emotional, physical and mental state becoming impacted by the stressors of your parenting, home and work demands? I provide client-centered individual parent therapy, individual adolescent therapy (ages 11-17), and parent & child counseling. I treat clients who may suffer from conditions including, but not limited to: Depression, Anxiety, trauma, adjustment, and interpersonal issues.

Hi there, I'm Anna. Are you looking for a culturally competent therapist? Are you someone who struggles with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns? Have you recently been diagnosed with, or are a caregiver for someone diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder?

It never ceases to amaze me just how often I have to try to convince others that they are worthy SIMPLY because they exist. This includes you! I want to know who communicated to you that you are not enough and why you value the opinion of said person(s); these types of harmful beliefs are learned, not innate. Let's unlearn them together. Most of my early clinical work has been with children and adolescents with focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, trauma and various behavioral and emotional issues. I have worked in high-intensity and high-crisis environments from school to hospital settings.

Hi! I'm William, and I help parents work on the hard stuff so they can be the parents they want to be. I provide parents a space dedicated to their parenthood. Whether you are a new parent, realizing you are like your parent, want a better relationship with your child, want to work through anger and resentment or just want to figure some things out - I am here to help you be the parent you want to be.

Are/were you the first gen- immigrant cultural broker of your family? Have you experienced success in many aspects of your life and still feel there is a void? imposter syndrome? And/or finding it difficult connecting with your family or friends? Are you embracing your Señorx era with no guidance? Are you parenting children and are looking to break generational cycle/curses but feel lost as to how to parent in a way that is gentle and empowering? Are you and your partner arguing over the small things?

Becoming a parent, going through pregnancy and childbirth or loss will impact your relationships (with others and yourself) in ways you never imagined. And lets not talk about parenting and the incredible difficulty involved with being responsible for other small humans. You will stand in the mirror and the person staring back at you is unfamiliar. You are irritable, tired and on edge all of the time. Your self esteem is low and you are feeling guilt and worry almost all the time. It all seems impossible and no one truly understands. You are not alone. Not alone in the pain. And you don't have to be alone in the healing.

Are you sad and just don’t know how to get out of your “funk?” Do you avoid situations or people who make you uncomfortable? Do you try to communicate with your spouse/partner/parent/child but everything ends in a fight? Are you an adult living with a childhood or recent trauma? Depression, anxiety, stress, trauma…these are just some of the challenges many people face every day. You are not alone. The difference today is that YOU have taken the first step of seeking help. ~ ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS~

Welcome! I’m a white, neurodivergent, nonbinary lesbian therapist. I’m LGBTQIA2S+ celebrating, trauma-focused, and social justice-oriented. Using an anti-oppressive lens, my work is informed by movements in anti-racism, queer theory, liberation psychology, and disability justice. My focus is queer and trans children, adolescents, and adults who may be dealing with life transitions, and struggling to carry the weight of school or work. I love to work with autistic clients and individuals with other disabilities. I enjoy working with families who want to build trust, communication, and mutual respect.

Parents, you've likely seen a shift in your child. It appears something has changed, but you're unsure what it is. I get it. As a parent, you want your child to feel confident, secure, and safe - from society, anxiety, social media, bullying, and unfortunate circumstances. The truth is... events, people, and things have affected them, but getting your child to open up and divulge all that is happening inside is VERY difficult. I understand! Sometimes the most confident child still can't find the words to say. Certain feelings and emotions live deep within your child. You're not alone, and I can help uncover the ROOT.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a happy, peaceful and progressive life. I have worked with many diverse populations, I recognize that your circumstances are unique and I can assure you that we'll approach this process in a way that is comfortable as well as incorporates your individuality and your strengths. I am color, race, religion, diagnosis, age and LGBTQ friendly. Whether you're struggling with mood symptoms, anxiety, self-esteem, work/life balance issues, family and "significant other" relationship issues, parenting concerns or something else entirely, we will work together to create realistic goals.

I currently only offer online and in-home therapy. When we are in the midst of crisis we can question our abilities to overcome. Like quicksand, these self-defeating thoughts pull us even deeper into despair and we may become seduced by seclusion. Instead, I believe we should strive to accept our struggles as the catalysts that can bring us into closer connection with others and thus be more empowered to overcome. My practice of therapy involves helping people realize that to struggle is not unique and that connections with others during those times can be the difference between surrendering to weakness and reclaiming your strength.

Life can feel overwhelming. An unexpected event can suddenly throw everything off balance, or many smaller stresses can build up and make it hard to cope with everyday tasks. Together we can explore your inner strengths and how to use them moving forward and find healing throughout the process. I am dedicated to social justice and believe that it’s important to find awareness of one’s resilience in the process of self-discovery and acceptance.

I have had the pleasure of working with all age groups for over 30 years. Need help with your kids? Parenting education and training are important issues in my practice. In general, important goals in therapy include learning how to make the best decisions for oneself in day-to-day life and in developing basic problem solving strategies. Often, significant change can be made simply through the process of education and awareness, offered in a caring and compassionate environment. I use EFT in my practice to maximize symptom relief and minimize the need for extended time in therapy.

I have focused my practice on helping people struggling with relationship problems such as: Marital disenchantment, communication problems, conflict resolution skills and family struggles with parenting kids, teenagers and launching young adults. I have a heart for working with individual adults, adolescents, and children struggling with: Depression, Anxiety, Panic attacks, Grieving, Posttraumatic stress, OCD, Victims of sexual abuse, incest, and Spiritual Crisis. Periodically I run groups for victims of sexual abuse.As a recent Breast Cancer Survivor, I am in a unique position to utilize my own painful experience to help women or their families suffering from cancer.

I have been a licensed psychologist for 17 years and a licensed marriage and family therapist for 21 years. I provide a wide range of services including individual, marriage and family therapy. I also do parent coaching. I work with all ages and a wide variety of problems. I know it is difficult to choose a therapist, and I welcome your call to discuss if I would be a good fit. On this website you will find information on my background and my approach to therapy. I accept most insurance companies and private pay.
