I counsel individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and adults. Dr. Chapline is highly skilled at the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Ego State therapy and psycho-education. She will use her vast repertoire of additional modalities based upon a particular client's need. I enjoy my work! I love the field of psychology because it is so vast. I care about helping people move toward psychological wellness and motivating and inspiring them to reach goals. I consider therapy to be a valuable component of the walk of one's inner journey toward self completion. Psycho-education permits understanding of the origin of problematic symptoms, and how an individual became well. This type of knowledge creates skills that are transferable across life events and time.

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.

Mindfulness increases your ability to cope. It cultivates self-compassion, non-judgment, acceptance, and awareness – all vital to healing. Mindfulness encourages perspective and flexibility, strengthening overall mental health. It allows us to live in the present moment by recognizing thought patterns, letting go of unhealthy attachments, and ultimately getting us in touch with what it means to be more fully alive. Integrative An integrative framework involves mind and body. It examines how your worldview, defense mechanisms, physical and spiritual health, culture, family roles, and larger social systems are interconnected. Personality, past experiences, and beliefs are also looked at to understand how well-being is created and maintained. Healing involves exploring and being curious about these various aspects of your life and how they interact. Therapy facilitates this journey toward health, wholeness, and peace. Wellness Focused Therapy My therapeutic approach is wellness based, stemming from Positive Psychology, which focuses on strengths and values that empower the individual. This allows for innate and organic healing processes to take place. I believe this approach, together with Mindfulness and an Integrative framework, promote insight, shift, growth and balance in a most honoring and profound way. Therapy entails venturing inward, and nurturing internal wisdom to bring about this transformation

We all go through tough times in life and sometimes need a guiding hand to get through it. Finding the right therapist can be a difficult task but one that can be extremely rewarding if you find the right match. I offer my clients a nurturing, empathetic and non-judgmental environment to explore and work through their trauma, pain, struggles and stress. I strive to help my clients create balance and develop healthy boundaries in their life so that they may find the peace and happiness they are striving for. I use an eclectic array of modalities to help my clients towards their goals. A few of the methods that I use are meditation and mindfulness, art therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, Hypnotherapy, narrative therapy and pet therapy (through the company of my trusty partner and certified therapy dog Rama). I offer my clients a holistic approach to therapy- taking a look at all of the factors in their life that may be contributing to their pain or struggles. One step at a time we can overcome these hurdles together. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

No one gets through the bumps of life unscathed. We all could use someone to help us through life’s ups and downs. Contemplating a change, coping with loss, eating healthy, staying fit, raising children, blending families, getting married or considering divorce are not “do-it-yourself” projects. I believe that people know intuitively when they need the help of a skilled guide but, the myths surrounding counseling can often get in their way. The truth about face-to-face and internet counseling is that it works best when you are ready. Scheduling an appointment is the first step in resolving a problem. It is not a sign of weakness and you don’t need a serious problem to benefit from counseling. People with everyday concerns such as adjustments or phase of life issues also can get results from counseling too. People who see me or seek my internet services are usually feeling stressed, stuck, anxious, depressed, lost, ashamed, guilty, or unforgiving about some portion of their lives. They are looking for lasting results, not quick fixes. I find a combination of Cognitive Behavior and Acceptance and Commitment Therapies work best, In addition, I offer nutritional, wellness and lifestyle coaching too. Remember I am only a phone call or email away.

Mindfulness meditation has powerful positive effects on brain function, improvements in mood, self-esteem, stress reduction, ability to focus and concentrate on life tasks. This simple practice can be learned in 8 sessions; then it's yours to benefit from for the rest of your life! Buddhist psychotherapy principles help you quickly see through confusions in thinking and provide a common sense roadmap for healthy social and spiritual actions. Use of a Paradoxical Intention skills motivate you to overcome old fears and self-limiting beliefs so you can take action in important life situations. Jungian-based counseling introduces you to the world of spiritual psychology and the power of both your personal unconscious mind and the greater collective unconscious. You will work with mythology, archetypal energies and active imagination to develop your own individual and confident sense of self. Jungian counseling also helps clients develop a sense of personal destiny using the motivating technique of writing their own Hero's Journey myth. This exercise helps them overcome the stigma of past failures and traumas and see a myriad of future possibilities. Clinical hypnotherapy will help you replace fears, phobias and bad habits with life-supporting thoughts and actions. Clients are interviewed in depth to determine their specific concerns and to evaluate their degree of motivation to change. The hypnotist's suggestions, given during hypnotic trance, always deal directly with the client's stated concern. No extraneous suggested are made. If you suffer from addiction of any kind, not just drugs and alcohol, all the techniques above will be used to help you identify alternative ways of thinking and behaving to 1) stop addictive behavior and 2) find healthy lifestyle alternatives.

Hello. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), specializing in the treatment of children, adolescents, and their families who struggle with a variety of psychological, behavioral, academic, and relational problems. I also provide families with support for parenting, School and Special Education Consulting, Divorce, Co-Parenting and ADHD. I know that, as parents, you know your child(ren) better than anyone else, including pediatricians and clergy. You are the experts and from personal experience, I have learned that parents need to trust their instincts about their children. One of the goals in my work is to help children and teenagers realize that they can find solutions to their problems, enhance their relationships, build self-confidence, and develop a healthy sense of who they are. I have observed that when children and adolescents begin to feel good about themselves and when they realize they have options instead of limitations, their behavior mood, social, and academic functioning improve - they are happier and more resilient. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems and eclectic interventions with adolescents, and with pre-adolescents, play therapy, to help younger clients identify, explore, and resolve their behavioral and emotional struggles. Providing child and adolescent therapy, I have over 15 years of clinical experience with all aspects of psychological, developmental, and behavioral difficulties, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, anger, trauma, PTSD, loss, defiance, impulse control problems, ADHD, learning issues, substance use, social thinking issues and the autistic spectrum. An important part of working with children and adolescents includes working with their parents (or guardians). I provide parents with support and constructive ideas that can strengthen their effectiveness, enhance bonding between each other, and restore their sense of hope and satisfaction in the family.

Couples and individuals benefit in therapy when we create a peaceful, safe haven for our work. Therapists: would you like to get 25% more income in the next 12 months, work fewer days, take more vacations and enjoy your clients more? That's what my coaching clients do and we have fun doing it.

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 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.

Life is very different without an Instagram filter. We live in a fast-paced world.

The reality is, we are all humans with real emotions, feelings, ups, and downs. What is your life really like? Are you happy with the job you have? The friends you have? The relationships you are in? More importantly, Are you happy with WHO YOU ARE TODAY, HOW YOU ARE LIVING YOUR LIFE? I firmly believe it is possible to be happy with the life you’re living.

Hello, my name is Dr. Steve Harris. I will work compassionately with you to help you find your way towards more fulfilling relationships and a satisfying life. 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. They are usually smart people who know what to do, but in the “heat of the moment” all of the seemingly good tools, learning, and insights “go out the window” and an emotional reaction that sabotages the potential for success often intervenes. 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. I am a clinical psychologist in private practice in Orange County for over 20 years. I would like to have the opportunity to explore further what might be done to help. Please call me today to schedule a Free initial consultation. Don’t delay getting on with your life any longer!

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFT) and certified psychoanalyst, practicing in Newport Beach, CA. My areas of experience and expertise are in Trauma Recovery, Adults Abused as Children (physical, sexual, and emotional), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Domestic Violence, as well as Anger Management, Divorce Recovery, Marital Therapy, Depression, Stress Reduction, Anxiety, and Spiritual Issues. People come to me for many reasons having to do with their work, personal growth and relationships. Some need powerful techniques such as EMDR or Hypnosis to help eliminate a traumatic problem. For some, the need is for long-term Psychoanalysis or Psycho-dynamic therapy for deep inner healing and change. For others, it is support during a time of deepening spirituality or spiritual challenge. Each person's needs are unique, and I try to find what works for the individual.

"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.

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.
