Perhaps you have reached a point in your life in which something has to change; the sadness, anger, confusion or depression have become too great a burden to carry. Perhaps you have been a victim of profound brokenness and long for healing and a brighter future. Or perhaps you desperately want to be a good parent, but it seems like everything you have tried hasn't worked. If this is you, I would be honored to come alongside you and offer my assistance. It takes wisdom to recognize when a problem exists and courage to do something about it. As your therapist, you honor me by sharing your life with me. I will bring the best that I know from my study and experience. I will actively listen to your concerns, offer real solutions and provide relevant feedback. I will always have compassion and empathy for you in all that we do. I value you as a person in need of respect and care and will always treat you with highest dignity.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Psychiatric Technician, and Masters level Addictions Counselor in Pasadena, California. Since 1984, I’ve been providing mental health services for adults and adolescents in both inpatient and/or outpatient settings. As such, I have a varied experience with abuse, trauma, depression, grief/loss, issues of personal growth, relationships, stress, and mental illness. During that time I have also worked extensively with addictions (of all types) and related issues (“co-dependency”, eating disorders, alcoholism, dual diagnosis…). My responsibilities have ranged from Licensed Psychiatric Technician (where much of my experience in mental health and medications comes from), to Program Director. Currently I am in private practice, life coaching, teaching, providing clinical supervision to prelicensed therapists, providing some staff training and consultation.

Narrative Counseling Center offers psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. We provide Couples Therapy to partners seeking resourceful tools and skills, collaborative conversations and new ways of listening and being heard. Our services include Co-therapy and LGBT counseling. We also offer fees on a sliding scale.

OVERVIEW Together we look at your life to see what works, what doesn’t, and why. We’ll see who you are, the relationships you’re in, and what stops you from having the life you want. We’ll see how you act, think, feel, and relate to others today and how those have been affected by your life experiences. We’ll work to change things so your life does work for you. TRAUMA You may feel anxious, depressed, or alienated. Here you can feel safe, talk honestly about what happened and about how it still affects you, even when other people don't understand or can't stand to hear it any more. I help you understand why you’re reacting as you do, even when you may feel out of control or a little "crazy." You'll learn ways to work through the psychological and emotional impact of what happened so you can get your life back. If you or your family member is a victim of violent crime, you may be eligible for therapy at no cost to you. ADDICTIONS (Substances and Behaviors) You might have difficulty with alcohol or drugs, or you may need help evaluating if that’s true, how great the difficulty is, or what you can do about it. You may also be asking similar questions about sexual behaviors or compulsions, porn, gambling, Internet usage, spending, eating, cutting, or anything else you do that feels questionable or out of control. Some people feel like they are addicted to another person, what sometimes is referred to as "love addiction." GAY/LESBIAN/BISEXUAL ISSUES While I work with heterosexuals, I also work with many gay, bisexual, or lesbian people, both individually and in couples. If you’re in a process of self-discovery, you’ll be the one to decide what your sexual orientation and identity is. If you’re now coming out, together we can consider if, when, how, and with whom you decide to do it. If you’re clear and comfortable with your sexual orientation, I can give you safe place where you can be open about who you and how HIV has impacted your life or your relationships MIND/BODY The mind and body are functionally identical. What you think affects how you feel, and what you feel affects how think. I work at both levels, with people who are interested in doing that. For people who aren't interested in the this work, I am happy to stay strictly in a talk-therapy mode. YOU SET THE COURSE, AND I'LL HELP YOU GET THERE.

I offer expert services in the areas of eating disorders (and all related concerns) and adoption. I have been in private practice since 2002, serving North Orange county, as well as the surrounding communities. My approach to health and healing is strengths based, and I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship. he Daring Way™ is a unique experiential program based on the exciting work of Dr. Brené Brown. This program teaches its participants how to live and love more fully within their own lives. It guides individuals towards connection through courage and compassion.

As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I strive to adapt each session to the needs of each individual... their own specific needs and desired outcomes. Trained in many different modalities, e.g. Cognitive Behavior, Bowen, Jung, etc. , I draw from theorists that I feel will accomplish the task of what is needed for the individual or couple. It seems rare to me that use of only one theory is the only way to achieve results. I have been a Registered Nurse for over twenty years and feel that the medical knowledge I have achieved compliments the Psychological knowledge that I have gained through training and through my practice. Life experiences play such an important role in our dealing with others. To know and understand what others haved endured or are currently enduring is very empowering. I know what it feels like to experience problems with children, relationships, families, careers...and therefore can share with others the trials they are experiencing. The good thing is that with proper counseling, empathy and caring, things do work out...what ever the result are. Time and working through those areas that hinder our wel-lbeing with a counselor who will give guidance and support are important ways to overcome problems.

I work with people who are on a journey towards health. You may be struggling with chronic illness or pain, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues or a variety of other issues. But working together, we can find a way to get you back on a healthy path. Call me today and let's see what we can do together.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a strong backround in extended family systems therapy; however, I am trained in many other types of effective therapy. I have trained and worked in this venue for over fifteen years, seeing couples, individuals, families, adolescents, and children. My experience and training in clinics and within the public schools has given me a broad base of experience, yielding unique strengths in helping families and adolescents, addressing women's issues, treating addiction and adult children of alcoholic issues, blended family concerns, and more. I strive to help clients break free from those emotional, psychological, and thought constraints which impede progress, so clients may grow and attain optimum fulfillment in the relaionship with self and others. I have a full array of art, puppet, sand tray, and play therapy materials, to faciitate positive growth and change in even the very youngest family members. Some areas of emphasis: marriage and family counseling, individual psychotherapy, group therapy, psychological testing, addictions, clinical depression, co-dependency/adult children of alcoholics, grief and loss, issues of abuse (trauma), premarital counseling, women's issues. I have very reasonable fees for the Orange County area and I accept most types of insurance plans, including compensation for the Victims of Crime program.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my goal is to work with individuals and couples to create healthy, satisfying relationships and more fulfilling lives. Through a collaborative and comprehensive treatment approach, we are able to identify and explore barriers to personal growth in a safe and nurturing environment. Therapy can provide the guidance and support needed to ultimately achieve the goals that you desire. I look forward to helping you navigate through the challenges you face as we work together to build a more meaningful life.

I maintain a private practice in Tustin, CA providing individual, couples, and family therapy. My specialty is aftercare counseling for people in recovery from alcohol and substance abuse. I also provide supportive counseling and family therapy for the family members of recovering people. Other issues such as marital problems, communication difficulties, depression, anxiety, life-changes, etc are also frequently addressed.

If sexual difficulities, sex addiction, substance abuse or infidelity are creating problems in your life and relationships, let me help you - it's what I do! I have focused my education, training and experience in just two areas: Sex Therapy and Addiction Treatment. I provide treatment, education and solutions for individuals and couples struggling with a wide range of sexual problems, as well as most kinds of addictions and compulsive behaviors, including sex and porn addiction and infidelity. Help with Sexual Issues: I am a Board Certified Sex Therapist and can help you have the sex life you desire - help you change negative thoughts about sex - help you reverse fears and unwanted patterns that have led to poor or no sex, anxiety and physical dysfunction. Whatever your vision of a healthy, satisfying sex life, as a team we will determine the blocks to achieving this, and through a wide variety of techniques and interventions we will get your sex life functioning as you’d like it - for yourself, for your partner, for your relationship. Help with Substance Abuse/Addiction Issues: Dependence on and addiction to harmful substance and behaviors can affect all areas of your life. Addictions can destroy relationships, careers, health and families. If you are seeing or fearing consequences in your life it’s time to face up to it and seek help. I have much experience and a proven track record of successfully helping people make the necessary changes to stop or reduce harmful behaviors and take back control of their lives.

I believe healing takes place on the levels of emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. I work from a more holistic approach to change behaviors of negative thinking, while at the same time working through deep feelings of emotional pain to help make changes in one's soul and physical body pain. I am here to help clients work through their problems so that they can have better lives and better relationships with others. I have worked with clients who have addictions, anxiety and depression. I have worked with clients who have gone through domestic violence and other violent crimes against them. I specialize in working with children who have been abused and neglected by their parents or someone that they have trusted in their lives. I believe psychotherapy can help everyone, but it sometimes is a long and difficult journey that requires commitment, time and patience. I accept low fees and work on a sliding scale to adjust to one's financial situation. If you are serious about making changes in your life, then I am here to help you walk through your journey to get to the other side of healing.

We’re good at helping people who struggle with finding the right balance of family, career, and self. The center has extensive experience with young women, couples and teens in helping them get to the heart of the challenge of growing up and maturing in relationships. Sound Familiar?

I have had experience treating people of all ages and walks of life. The one thing I have found that ties each of us together is the innate desire to progress and better ourselves. In life there will be specific circumstances, life transitions, relationship dynamics and/or traumas that may require us to seek out support and understanding. I have dedicated my professional career in trying to do just that for my clients and their families. Therapy can be an intimidating venture, therefor I have built my profession in creating an environment that makes my clients feel comfortable and safe. I use an eclectic approach in deciding techniques and/or therapy styles to utilize in session. I have learned that therapy has to be as unique as the individuals/couples/families I treat.

As a licensed psychologist in private practice for more than 25 years, I have been able to offer a wide range of help to over 1000 clients in their efforts to make their professional and personal lives more satisfying, productive, and healthier. I have advanced training and experience in working with adults as well as couples and families. My training background is in the area of cognitive-behavioral theory and therapy, which serves as a guide for clients to examine how problematic thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns interact and interfere with one's life. While it is true that expressing one's feelings can be helpful, in itself this does not necessarily lead to improvement. In addition, developing insight into the origins of one's problems, although helpful, doesn't lead to significant, practical improvement. Research studies do show that clients improve more rapidly and for longer periods of time if they consistently and systematically apply targeted therapeutic strategies in their daily lives. Some of the more common therapeutic strategies I incorporate into treatment include strategies to learn to: ---respond to negative, self-defeating thoughts with alternative, more positive and practical ideas; ---breakdown overwhelming problems into manageable ones, prioritizing them, and learning to make decisions about what to do first; ---conquer fear by actually doing things you've been afraid of trying; ---assert yourself in a variety of professional and personal situations (learning to say no appropriately; learning to ask effectively for what you want); ---improve one's social effectiveness (talking in front of groups of people); ---manage skills of intimacy that allow trust as well as boundary setting to be valued and established. Specific treatment problem areas include: Anxiety & Panic Disorders Assertiveness Deficits Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) Bipolar or Manic Depression Depression Grief and Loss Issues Marital or Relationship problems Insomnia Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Parenting difficulties Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Schizophrenia Self-Esteem Issues Clinical services are available by appointment to adults 18 years or older.

I'm Marta Hatter, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice in Irvine. My goal is to share in the counseling success of my clients by providing quality professional services to equip them for challenging life events, and to encourage healing and personal growth. Therapy can result in numerous benefits to you, including improving interpersonal relationships and resolution of the specific concerns that led you to seek help. Families and individuals deserve ethical solutions to serious issues. Relationships are the threads forming the tapestry of our lives and our world. We are created to function in relationship, where healing takes place. Learn some lessons along the way to make your relationships the best they can be. By working to deepen and strengthen our relationships and marriages, we can co-create a better world for all people. Creating connection increases understanding and a way to experience the richness of each other's world. Most people train in what they care about: golf, computer, music, tennis, financial management, etc. Relationships deserve and need energy and commitment to build and deepen understanding, attachment, bonding, managing emotions and developing skills. Investing in your "relationship intelligence" can pay enormous dividends for you, and for all the people your life.

I see a variety of clients from ages 5 to 75. This includes people who have various life adjustment problems as well as those with personality and mood disorders. I treat children with play therapy for behavioral and other problems. Couples may require conjoint therapy for marital difficulties which may include other family members. And, of course, individual psychotherapy may be useful. I treat people who have suffered traumas caused by sexual, physical and emotional abuse which could result in depression, anxiety, social phobias, etc. I am able to assist people in overcoming self-defeating behavior which cause an inability to achieve goals in life. I use various types of therapy depending on the individual and types of problems he or she may be having. One very effective therapy technique is the utilization of inner voice dialogue with ways to conquer negative self-concepts. This may include bibleotherapy and worksheets depending on an individual's preference. Many first time patients are surprised to find that "talk therapy" can be so tension relieving. As a result, you may find yourself experiencing a lightening of moods and an enhanced sense of well-being. There's a great payoff in learning more about yourself.

In beginning this inquiry, today you are one step closer to finding answers. Sometimes circumstances befall us in our journey through life that can leave us feeling lost or confused with various questions. These are some of the ways in which those questions surface: Is something holding you back in life? Is something getting you down that you feel you can’t share with anyone? Do you question why you made certain choices in life? Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you at a crossroads in life? Do you question the meaning of life? Do you crave a better knowledge of Self? Does your past have too much influence and control on your present? Are you seeking personal and relational development? Do you want to attain a new way of seeing your self so you can create a new way of being? If you have questions like these or similar ones, therapy and counseling may be able to help. In begining this search and inquiry for yourself, today you are one step closer to expressing yourself and answering questions so that you can feel a stronger sense of Self-empowerment on a positive path to growth and well-being.

My practice caters primarily to adults including struggles with anxiety, depression, and stress (both workplace and personal). A major reason that many people seek treatment with me involves relationship difficulties with or the loss of a spouse, significant other, or family member. With compassion and understanding, I try to help people by focusing on the underlying personal issues that are causing the current difficulties. With greater insight and self awareness, a person is able to unknot the repetitive, often self defeating patterns that are causing such pain for them and feel more of a sense of empowerment in their lives. With this knowledge, together we are able to navigate the desired changes for a more peaceful, robust, and fulfilled life.
