Is your sex life causing you distress? Do you and your spouse or partner have mismatched sex drives? Lack of sexual interest? Difficulty with erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or delayed ejaculation? Is sex painful or even impossible? Are you struggling with sex after cancer or because of chronic pain or illness? Have you had negative sexual experiences or trauma that interfere with sexual pleasure? Sexual addiction? Unwanted kinky behaviors? Confusion about orientation or gender? I specialize in treating people with all kinds of sexual problems. I used a solution-focused, brief approach to help heal you and your relationship so that you can have the kind of fulfilling sexual experiences you seek. There is no touching or disrobing; we are going to talk about and solve what's bothering you. I'll suggest reading and activities to do on your own.

Do you sometimes question your own sanity because you are living with someone who has substance abuse issues or is extremely mean and cruel? If you are in a relationship that is toxic, highly dramatic and emotionally damaging, please let me help you through this difficult time in your life. This type of relationship atmosphere creates what I term "crazy making" because at any given moment, and for the slightest reason, a calm atmosphere can turn very ugly. You become the person who is designated as always wrong, always making the incorrect decision, always jealous, and whatever you do it is never good enough. This type of relationship could be with a parent, a husband or wife, a friend, or anyone who you feel creates a judgmental, highly critical and antagonistic atmosphere. I have been there -- walking in your shoes -- and personally understand what you are going through. It is incredibly painful and can forever harden us if the hurts remain unhealed. Please don't let the cruelty of someone else control and "win" the quality of your life anymore. Please reach out and let me help if you would like to talk. I would be honored to help you.

Your happy outgoing child has been replaced by a sullen, withdrawn, miserably unhappy teen. Or worse, your love, care, concern and soft questions are answered with arguments, disrespect, screaming, tears. Worry and fear for your teen is controlling your entire life. You've tried everything - setting boundaries, making demands, hurling threats. They're met with more withdrawal, or out of control partying, accusations, yelling, screaming, crying, regret and exhaustion. What if you could learn how to successfully reconnect with your teen? What if hurts could be healed? No matter the cause - addiction, alcohol abuse, drugs abuse, binging, defiant behavior, anxiety, depression, suicide attempts, suicide of a friend or family member... I know it can be uncomfortable, embarrassing, even frightening, to discuss your very personal and private family situation with a stranger. I do not judge or criticize. Not you, your actions, or your family. I specialize in healing the underlying pain, and bringing families together. I raised 3 step-children and have 25+ years in this profession. Come experience a different approach to teen counseling and family conflict. I would be honored to help. Healing starts today. Ask for Coach Mickey.

"Life isn't about finding yourself. It is about creating yourself" - George Bernard Shaw -Do you yearn for that special someone? -Do you feel lost and confused right now, not sure in which direction to go? -Do you find you rarely have time to do the things you want to do, leaving you feeling resentful or guilty? If you find that these questions are your questions, I can help. Often there are times in life where we seem to “hit walls.” Nothing we do seems to be right, negative thoughts and worries run rampant. Our loved ones complain about our behaviors or moods that we can’t seem to control. Feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, we panic, feel anxious, depressed, sad and hopeless. It’s common to want to run away, distract ourselves, just give up, or blame others. Every artist dips their brush in their own soul, and paints their own nature and creates their own picture. As a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues. What I tell my Clients is that if you do not define you, someone else will. Blending conventional and alternatives approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals. Work on conflict resolution with a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, achieve the personal growth in all areas of your life. “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.” ~Carl Jung Why do people seek therapy? Some have to suddenly respond to unexpected changes in their lives, while others seek self-exploration and personal growth. When your old ways to cope are overwhelmed by guilt, doubt, anxiety, or despair, therapy can help. Coping skills are learned as are boundaries and my form of counseling can provide support, problem-solving skills, and new, improved enhanced coping for issues such as lack of confidence, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, bereavement, spiritual conflicts, stress management, body image issues, and creative blocks. “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.” ~Carl Jung Our work together will provide new meaning to old problems. Move away from crisis today. If this resonates, I can help you find the joy in life you deserve.

I work with a broad variety of people who are trying to get un-stuck from areas in their lives that have become counterproductive ways of coping. People frequently arrive at my office after reading self-help books, working hard to develop successful and healthy habits, exercising, changing their appetite and/or diet, taking medication (or refusing to), but find that these changes did not reach something deeper inside that seems to get in the way.

Whether it is to be able to have a satisfying relationship, overcome intense anxiety, break out of a deep depression, recover from a traumatic experience, overcome an addiction, or other life problem, numerous people come to me to remove the barriers in their lives so they can live more freely and get back on track of healthy living. It is important for me to help people uncover what is right with them, not just focus exclusively on their problems.

Couples Counseling is a process that begins when you make that first call. I'm Dr. Kerns and I am an Experienced Couples Counselor and the Clinical Director and Intern Supervisor at TCICC. Many times couples come into counseling with me, feeling very frustrated and misunderstood by their partner. This conflict leads to arguing and eventually to thoughts of dissolving the relationship. Miscommunication leads to further issues in relationships that can be smoothed over and sorted out in therapy sessions. Couples counseling can help to change relationship patterns into dynamic interactions where relationships thrive. Sessions are designed to generate an understanding of the viewpoint of the partner. From this understanding we work together to build the relationship by a blending of the strengths and weaknesses of each partner. Success is achieved by a consistent working through of issues, each time with the partners taking more responsibility with the tools that they have learned from previous sessions. I have helped many couples, and I can help you. Dealing with trust, commitment, communication, and intimacy can challenge any relationship. I would like to help you with your concerns today.

Are you worried that your child or teen is out of control or going through a hard time? Are you tired of your teen talking back, but not talking to you? Have you noticed that they are struggling in school? Perhaps you and your family been having struggling with recent changes from a separation, divorce, or loss of a loved one, and you are looking for a way to help your family adjust to those changes and get back to being happy? If you want to connect with others and build a healthier and more satisfying life, then you are ready to take action to make it happen. As a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern at Journey Coaching and Counseling Services, my approach in counseling involves using warmth, empathy, and humor in my work with children, teens, and families to reconnect them with each other and get them back on the path towards personal growth.

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.

Do you feel constantly taken advantage of, or taken for granted, as if nothing you do is ever good enough? Dealing with a loved one's addiction is a very difficult thing. You may be feeling stuck in your current situation, and wondering if things will always be the way it is now. Or you may be feeling completely over-extended, taking care of everything (and everyone) both at work and at home, that you just don’t have any time or energy left to take care of yourself. You may even be feeling completely isolated and alone, because no one seems to understand what you are going through, and there is no one in your life that you feel comfortable talking to about it. You don't have to go through another day struggling with this on your own. Call me TODAY at and let's see how I can help! It can really take a toll on you when you love someone who is struggling with an addiction. You do not have to go through this alone. I can help you look at the "big picture" of what you really want for your life -- and for your loved ones. I do this by first helping you to increase your awareness of the circumstances of your current life situation, in order to understand how things got to be this way. Together, we will then explore several possible options that you may not have considered before, which can ultimately empower you to make the positive changes that you have been looking for. Call me today and let’s see what we can do together to make this happen! Wishing you all the best, Ceci

I have been in private practice in south Orange County for 26 years. I specialize in children and adolescent therapy using play therapy, individual, and family therapy. I treat depression, anxiety, behavior problems, school problems, ADHD, and stress to name a few. I use a psychodynamic and attachment model that enables me to go beyond treating the symptoms to getting at the root cause of behavior. I firmly believe in working with the parents. If working individually with a child I believe that it is important to have periodic meetings with the parents to coach them in recommended changes, but also with them create a treatment plan and be able to follow up during treatment. My expertise in child development and attachment also enable me to work very effectively with adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, relationship problems in marriage, work, parenting, and significant relationships.

Are you struggling with an issue that you just cannot get past? Do you feel so overwhelmed you don't know where to start? Are you ready to feel truly satisfied with your life? When you hit an obstacle in your life that you can't get past, you can start to feel frustrated, angry, and even hopeless. You can start to doubt and berate yourself for not being able to just move past the issue. An issue in one part of your life can soon take over and rob you of your joy. Finding someone you can trust to tell your story so you can move on, can be difficult, especially if it is hard to trust others. I can help. I help people who are ready to make real change at a pace that works for them. My clients develop a keen sense of confidence, competence and happiness which they take into their everyday lives. While I work with people who are generally seeking a new way of living and want change, I also have specialities in working with men, young adults, and divorce .
