Family Therapy in 92691

Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed on a daily basis? Does it feel like your mind is working against you? Do you feel like you're never good enough? How you feel about yourself and the way you perceive the situations in your life is the key to how happy and successful you are. I can help you decrease the anxiety and depression that creates this mental confusion and may be preventing you from creating the life and the relationships that you want.

Welcome! Therapy can be a safe place to explore your fears and worries, and also a place where you can learn new coping strategies, while finding hope and healing. Many of us have wounds from the past and often, new traumas can trigger those wounds to re-emerge. However, living the life you deserve is possible. I believe in the power of the human spirit and that it moves us towards healing. In therapy, you can find your way back to our path or create a new one. I see clients only via teletherapy.

As a biracial, African American female psychologist who identifies with the world community, I provide comprehensive mental health services to individuals, couples, and families. I believe that mental maintenance is an essential component to life success. Using a client-centered approach, I strive to provide an environment that perpetuates authenticity, presence, and growth. One can expect a welcoming space, with options for evening and weekend appointments.

Hello and welcome to my practice. I am a licensed psychologist with over 44 years of experience practicing psychotherapy with individuals and couples. When you are feeling troubled and don't know where to turn, therapy can be a safe place to work through your difficulties and concerns. Many of us would rather try to deal with problems on our own; but when you are feeling "stuck" or when problems keep repeating, an objective person who knows how to listen can help you through a difficult time.

Your life was intended to be lived with bold laughter, lasting and accepting love, and intentional significance. This is often hard to attain through our efforts alone. We may drift off course or abandon it altogether when we don’t have the resources to maintain our own goals. The first step to change your direction is usually the most difficult, but most important. I’m here to help you with your first steps and help you get to where you want to be in your relationships or your life in general.

You are not alone! I know sometimes it can feel that way and I am here to say I would be honored to support you in your journey of emotional freedom. I am passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve their goals for a more fulfilling and balanced life. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we will work to identify patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to your challenges, and we will develop personalized strategies to promote lasting change and growth.

No one wakes up and feels badly about themselves or their situations – this occurs over time. And it oftentimes results in emotional pain and discomfort. I primarily work with men (personal and societal issues/pressures) and couples to re-establish a healthier perspective of their personal, emotional, and relational challenges. Our work focuses on recognizing unhealthy ways we think and speak (with ourselves and others), and we integrate more neutral and compassionate speech.

Your son is definitely going through something. You're worried about the pre-teen, teen, or young adult in your life. He seems down, depressed, discouraged, but then just tunes out the world with his screens. He's anxious, dealing with pressure, school, friends, & he needs to face his struggles. He won't open up much to you or other family members. He seems to be isolating more - you think he might have some addiction going on. He's not as interested in his usual activities. You're basically concerned about the direction of his life. What you really want is your kid to be happy, motivated, and moving in a better direction.

Erica L. Anderson, LMFT. My approach to therapy is very open-minded and relaxed. I hope to provide a safe and comfortable environment for clients to work towards their most authentic self. I believe clients will get out of therapy what they are willing to put in it. And the therapist can help to provide a safe environment to be able to do the work. I am a very open-minded and have a relaxed style and approach to therapy.

I am looking for clients that are ready to get to work and make lasting change possible in their lives. My style is centered on creating a direct partnership with my clients in order to make change happen rather than continue to sit in the problem. I am very well versed in working with all aspects of addiction, anxiety, depression, life changes, sexual abuse, trauma & PTSD, and day to day living concerns, to name a few, for all individuals, couples & families.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I oversee a Christian Counseling Center in So Orange County, CA. We see couples, families, individuals and children. MFT Interns from Cal State Fullerton, Pepperdine University, Azusa Pacific University, Hope International University, and Vanguard University, to name a few, work with clients weekly. Our clients come to us with a wide range of issues including but not limited to marriage problems, addictions, eating disorders, depression and anxiety. We use integrative methods rooted in Christian principles to help our clients improve.

I am Tonya Schour, LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist). I have primarily worked with people who struggle with trauma (PTSD), anxiety, depression, relationship issues and domestic violence. By using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and direct communication, I have helped many clients overcome difficulties and incorporate positive changes in their lives. I believe our mental health is every bit as important as our physical health. Many, if not all, people would benefit greatly from therapy. Even if it’s just to have a neutral person to discuss everyday issues with.

A fulfilling life - sounds great...but is that really possible? Often times, life circumstances, difficulty managing emotions, or faulty thought patterns can keep us from feeling truly alive. Entering therapy may be a big undertaking but the rewards can be immeasurable!

My work is solution focused. I work in the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Orientation and Family Systems to offer tools to manage our emotions and improve our relationships. Our past family experiences are important. What we learned in our family is very much related to how we do life today. But sometimes, I think, people may invest an inordinate amount of their time and resources analyzing the problems of the past. In doing so they may miss the exceptions to those problems that hold the key to change.

Do you feel like past wounds are preventing you from moving forward? Perhaps you have a difficult time understanding why you continue to repeat unhealthy behaviors or feel ashamed for not living up to your own or others' expectations. You probably feel a mixture of emotions: motivated to change, but afraid of feeling uncomfortable and vulnerable. Maybe you doubt your ability to change or question if talking about painful issues can actually help you feel better. Having these thoughts and feelings is a normal part of the growth process.

The last few years have been especially challenging: COVID, changes in social structure, inflation and other unsettling issues. Do you find yourself with unsettling intrusive thoughts, confused and/or anxious? Do you feel stuck in life? Are depression and anxiety blocking you from living your life? Don't give up. You don't have to do it alone. We can do it together. There is significant strength in seeking support and guidance when you need it.

You're the one everyone counts on. At work, you have a reputation for being reliable and getting the job done right. At home, your family leans on you for support. You're the one that carries everyone else's burdens, and you rarely ask for help. You enjoy being the one people can count on, but recently it feels like too much and you're struggling to juggle too many things. You don't want to let anyone down, but it feels like you're drowning and you don't know what to do.

Do you wonder what stops you from having a more fulfilling life and more satisfying relationships? You can change your life and relationships to what you want them to be. I use evidence based (research validated) methods of psychotherapy to help you identify what you want out of life and make the changes necessary to create that life. I will help you uncover your strengths and use them to live a more authentic and joyful life. I specialize in using Parent Child Interaction, Cognitive Behavioral , Attachment, Mindfulness, Family Systems and Functional Family Therapies, dependent on your needs.
