As a psychotherapist who practices from a Transpersonal perspective, I provide therapy for the WHOLE individual. Unlike traditional therapeutic structure, which only considers the Emotional and Intellectual components of the individual, I also focus on the Physical and Spiritual facets of Self. I work with all ages, from small children through geriatric seniors. My specialties include Eating Disorders, Depression, Anger Management, Anxiety and Substance Abuse. I provide therapy to individuals, couples and groups and especially enjoy working with children and adolescents.

A high percentage of my practice is men; I run groups for high functioning men who are seeking to be more effective in their relationships with their families, women and other men, as well as well as in deepening their connection to their own inner lives. I also have female clients who are working on their relationship to themselves and their partners (male and female).

I've also worked with the Northern California Conference of Seventh Day Adventists and the media company, Live Nation. Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other helpful forms of coaching that help clients get unstuck, I have helped many leaders get through impasses in their careers. As an academic consultant, I have consulted for Cal Berkeley’s, Graduate Department of Bioengineering, Cal’s Graduate Department of Public Policy and the San Jose State University, Department of Instructional Design.

I have a profound faith in the process of therapy to help people live happier, more satisfying lives. I tailor my approach to each individual's unique history, needs and goals. This is based on my experience with hundreds of people, and on my own personal journey. In our work together, you will experience the deep level of personal engagement and commitment that I bring to the people with whom I work. I have advanced training in several psychotherapeutic modalities, as well as a lifelong commitment to my own psychological and spiritual growth and healing. You will benefit from over 20 years of my experience as a therapist. My work includes extensive experience with people affected by grief and loss, abuse and trauma, anxiety and depression. These issues are often barriers to happiness and intimacy. You will experience change in these areas of your life, as we work together. While working in a medical setting for many years, I developed an understanding of the significant impact of chronic illness and pain on physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of compulsive overeating and other addictions is also my expertise. I look forward to working with you. Feel free to call or email, and let today be the day you begin your journey to healing.

We need to feel understood, safe, and supported to create life-long change, and in my practice I work to establish a respectful and warm relationship where this growth and development can occur. I believe each person is capable of tremendous change and view giving the gift of therapy as an honor. I find by exploring both the past and the present, clients are better able to recognize life patterns which may be affecting their relationships, career, and overall mental health. However, I also believe each person is unique and do not utilize a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Rather, I work with clients in a collaborative manner, and together we establish the direction and pace of our work. I work with individuals and couples from a variety of cultural, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Overall, I think you will find my approach open, flexible, affirming, and engaging. Clients usually begin sessions with a variety of concerns such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, or problems with romantic and personal relationships. I also work with clients on issues of trauma and past abuse, body image and eating disorders, LGBTQI issues, and women's issues.

Providing individual, couples and family counseling for all ages and abilities, I can help you to engage your personal strengths and utilize a truly holistic approach to bring the body, mind and spirit into balance. While I am a general practitioner, with a diverse practice, I specialize in sexual and reproductive health. I also know how busy life can be, which is why I will work with you to find a mutually agreeable time to either meet in person, whether in my office or for a walk, via skype or over the phone. Ultimately, our work together will instill a sense of empowerment that is needed to make healthy life decisions and embrace sexuality as something that is valued, respected and celebrated. No matter the challenge, having the information and support that you need enables YOU to make the best choices about the direction of your counseling experience and your life. The benefit of awareness and self-discovery empowers you to transform obstacles to optimum health and happiness.

I provide counseling for a broad range of life issues for individuals, couples, families, and groups. I have extensive training and experience in pre-marital counseling, relationship conflicts, parenting challenges, domestic violence, sexual abuse, living with chronic illness, depression, anxiety, substance and alcohol abuse, sexual addiction and other compulsive behaviors, sexual orientation, gender identification, and polyamory. I also provide career and job search coaching.

In my opinion, the only way that people really change is through the experiences they have with other people. In other words, we are the way that we are because of the impact others have had on us. This is key to my work. With my patients, I explore the way they relate to their friends, their family, and to me. My work focuses on human relationship and emotional expression. My patients learn how to listen more closely to themselves, they become more connected to their feelings, and they understand more fully their relationship to others. I have experience working in depth with adults, children, adolescents and couples who struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship issues. I also have experience working with eating disorders and addictions of all sorts--substance use, sex addiction, etc.

One way describe therapy is that it is simply a conversation centered specifically your life. It is different from talking to family or friends because the historical complications that can accompany talking with family and friends are removed. Of course the image that people carry of therapy may be different from what I just described and may be more specific as well. For some the image of therapy is lying on a couch while their analyst makes occasional comments about their free associations. For others the therapist is very active with lots of comments, advice, and direction. Which is the correct method? Is something else the right way? My belief is that it depends on what is best for each patient because everyone is different and therefore has different needs. It’s true that I have a style and don’t just become some new therapist with each given session. Rather, what I am saying is that I take what each person’s experiences have been and where they come from into major consideration when working with each person. Consider that I don’t talk to my fifteen year old patients exactly the way I speak to my fifty year old patients. Imposing some pre-existing template onto a person neglects who they are. This is ineffective at best and injurious in its insensitivity at worst. As a result, meeting a therapist and talking to see if there is compatibility is what I recommend. This simply helps to establish whether a second conversation is a good idea.

Since my training at Columbia University I have enjoyed a long and fulfilling career as a psychotherapist. I specialize in helping couples, adults, and adolescents identify and change destructive behaviors, build better relationships and achieve their potential. I work with a diverse clientele regardless of cultural background or sexual orientation. I do both short and long term therapy in a nurturing, nonjudgmental environment adapting my treatment to the client’s needs. I am certified in EMDR, a time efficient method for treating post traumatic stress disorder and other issues. In general my approach is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral. I am particularly adept in dealing with relationship problems, depression, grief, anxiety and trauma related issues. In addition to my private practice I am a clinical supervisor and have supervised experienced therapists in family service, eating disorders, addictions, DUI and probation programs. I also have extensive experience in parent training. I empower people to make changes when they feel stuck and dissatisfied with their life. I believe every human being can confront and overcome emotional blocks to achieve their goals and live a meaningful life.

It can be very anxiety-provoking to take the first steps to identify and locate a therapist. Maybe you have been searching for a Houston therapist for a few days or even weeks. Maybe you have called and hung up several times. Maybe you were taught that strong people don't need help. Maybe you think a therapist won't understand. There is no shame in seeking help. It shows strength to ask for help. It also puts you in control of your well-being. Every individual struggles with issues, which can span the spectrum from long-standing psychological disturbances to short-lived situational problems. I value you as a unique individual based on your identity and experience in life. You are the expert of your life, and I am an assistant on your journey of self-exploration, growth, and healing. Whether you are working on everyday struggles or major life dilemmas I offer an understanding ear and warm, nonjudgmental setting. We will work together to make sense of your story.

If you have concerns for yourself or a family member I would be happy to speak with you. I would be pleased to answer your questions or to set up an initial appointment. My primary area of specialization is related to the treatment of traumatic stress responses, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, panic attacks, specific phobias, depression, and dissociative disorders. I work with a wide range of survivors of traumatic experiences including crime victims, industrial injuries, motor vehicle crashes, natural and man-made disasters, critical incident and cumulative stress in police, fire and other emergency responders, adults who were abused or neglected as children. I also have extensive experience in alcohol and substance abuse recovery. I work with individuals with co-occuring posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol or substance abuse. My original training was in marriage and family therapy and I have continued to work with couples over the last three decades. I work with couples at all phases of life. I help couples learn to communicate and work through issues with blended families, infidelity, infertility, and adoption. I support loving relationships by helping couples learn to communicate more effectively, develop trust and intimacy, work through areas of conflict, and resolve their issues.

If you'd like your days to hold more joy and peacefulness, psychotherapy can help. In therapy you can explore options, gain new skills, and address specific areas of concern. • Do your unique abilities leave you feeling misunderstood, or as if you don’t fit in? • Is your relationship less satisfying than you’d like it to be? Do you struggle to find meaningful communication and intimacy in a relationship? • Have you experienced trauma (an acute incident or a chronic pattern) that leaves you feeling frightened, frozen, or numb at certain times? Or perhaps you just feel depressed or unhappy more than you’d like, and can’t figure out why? • Are you concerned about your child or family? Therapy can help with these situations, along with many others such as depression, anxiety, drug/alcohol/sex use; as well as prejudice and challenges that LGBT individuals may encounter. You deserve to have a happy and fulfilled life, and therapy may be a tool to help you in creating that. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working in Noe Valley, in San Francisco, CA. If you’d like help addressing the things that trouble you; or want to feel happier, calmer, and more excited about your life, please call or email me.

I value each person that I work with – it is an honor that they choose to share their lives with me. My goal with everyone is to provide services that facilitate an improved level of functioning and contentment in their lives. My style as a clinician is relaxed. Our sessions should be a positive interaction, even if we are discussing difficult issues. Whether a therapist or a coach, my sessions tend to have a feeling of two people relaxing in my living room and having a conversation.

For more than 30 years I've been helping people move past anxiety, fear and worry. If you're losing sleep and waking up worried I can help-often in the first session. I also have much experience helping folks to repair and strengthen relationships of all shapes and sizes....I can assist traditional marriages and I also have experience and comfort with alternative kinds! As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist I have special training to help people who struggle with all kinds of sexually compulsive behaviors. AND I can assist their partners, spouses, and family members as well! CSE stands for certified sexual educator, and CCS for certified clinical sexologist, which means I can help with any kind of sexual problem, hang up, or difficulty. Many people come to me with desire issues, ie they want more or less sex than their partner. Others struggle with "addiction" to internet porn or risky sex like affairs. Most importantly, I do lots of work by PHONE, which means you don't need to come into my Los Osos office. This offers a private and convenient alternative for those who aren't able to attend "in person."

I provide therapy for individuals who wish to make changes in their lives and; relationships that are long-lasting and positive. I offer safe, compassionate and supportive counseling in an atmosphere that deepens understanding, promotes healing, and releases potential. Unresolved emotional issues can stifle creativity, confidence, ambition, and our ability for good relationships. Trauma and loss can cause sadness, depression and pain that inhibit and block. My style of therapy is empathic and respectful of personal values and lifestyles. I use; interactive talk therapy and other appropriate techniques, such as EMDR. The presenting problems are first alleviated. Profound change and personal growth are then able to take place through understanding and healing of the deeper underlying issues.; My specialties include:; • Depression / Anxiety • Grief / Loss / Bereavement • Effects of Childhood Abuse / Trauma / PTSD • Sex and Love Addiction / Sexuality /Internet Addiction • Social anxiety / Self-esteem / Shyness • Relationship Issues / Anger Management • Couples Counseling • Divorce / Co-parenting • Family Therapy / Child Therapy Feel free to call or e-mail me if you have any questions, or wish to make an initial appointment.

I also offer telephone consultation.

I provide individual, couples and group psychotherapy. Although I have worked with many clients with varying issues, my specialties include issues of loss and bereavement, life-threatening illnesses (such as cancer), depression, anxiety and fertility issues. I have particular interest in working with suicide survivors (individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide), families dealing with grief and loss, cancer patients, young adults dealing with illness, couples dealing with fertility issues. Since much of my focus is grief and loss issues, I have the most experience with clients that are in great distress. I strive to concentrate on the present, focus on the future and explore the past to understand current behaviors and coping. I create a safe place where clients can focus on their goals and acquire more coping tools to adjust to life changes.

If you are reading this, you may very well be suffering and in need of support to live your life with less dread and more joy, less doubt and greater assurance, less anger and more self-control. If you are seeking services, you are already moving in the right direction by identifying the intent and developing the motivation needed to affect desired changes. A plethora of support services exist, and if you can receive the help you need from less-intensive and/or less-expensive sources, I encourage you to do so. Thankfully there are many self-help groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous, as well as the National Alliance on Mental Illness that can offer great support on the road to recovery. In fact, if you retain my services, I would most likely suggest that you and your family increase and refine your connections to the community, church, and support groups that promote positive growth and well being. Change is not only possible, it is inevitable. Too often we live our lives as though we are permanently enslaved and predestined to be wasted in self-inflicted pain. Most people have moments of clarity in which they understand and appreciate the ability to willfully change the causes and conditions of their lives, but sadly they are caught up in circumstances and surrounded by people who are deeply invested in the familiarity of suffering. As such, opportunities for change are unfulfilled

Many of my clients have tried talk therapy and found that they had limited results. That's because most issues reside in the subconscious mind, and simply discussing the problem is a conscious mind activity. I help clients access subconscious material directly through experiential methods that include EMDR, EFT, Hypnotherapy and Gestalt therapy. Many clients find that these methods work quickly and effectively to access and begin to transform unwanted beliefs and patterns. I work intuitively and encourage my clients to enhance their own intuitive sense, learning to listen to and trust their own inner wisdom. As a Certified Life Coach, I sometimes work with clients to create the life they always wanted and to learn to fulfill their life purpose. I take Blue Cross / Blue Shield, Tufts, United, and Harvard Pilgrim. Out-of-pocket charges are $120 per session.

I believe that therapy works best when it is tailored to the personality and the individual needs of each patient. Rather than relying on just one of the many modern approaches to psychotherapy, I pull from several disciplines, including psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral, which I believe yields faster and longer-lasting results. In my career I have treated, and helped, people from all walks of life, stages of life, gender identities, education levels, sexual orientations, diagnoses, personality styles and presenting problems, and most religions, ethnicities, and races. I can say with confidence that my deep experience will be of benefit to you if you decide to take me on as your therapist.

One of the most important parts of our collaborative work will be to create a safe space for the exploration of feelings and behaviors. My style as a therapist is interactive, supportive and nurturing, while also being honest and direct. I conceptualize human development from a psychodynamic, self-psychological perspective, (that is, understanding how one's perceptions of childhood events and feelings affect current functioning), yet my psychotherapy approach is eclectic and flexible, informed by your needs and our mutually agreed upon goals for treatment. I have a strong background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and teach a variety of techniques to manage feelings and stressors (for example, relaxation and guided imagery training, assertiveness training, mindfulness, systematic desensitization and stress inoculation training).

We are committed to providing quality counseling to adults, seniors, and adolescents.

I often tell my clients they are doing a nice thing for themselves by going to psychotherapy. One does not need to wait for a difficulty to arise as a motivator to enter therapy. Participating in therapy sessions can bring greater in-depth personal exploration and better, more fulfilling relationships with others. My practice is composed mainly of adults seeking help with anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties including sexual issues and dysfunctions. The therapeutic approach I frequently use is cognitive-behavioral which focuses on anxiety/depression and relational/interpersonal which focuses on creating healthy relationship dynamics. I actively work with clients who are facilitators of their change. What is unique about my practice is that I bring a wealth of personal experiences as an individual with a hearing loss and have had anxiety issues. Having these challenges ground me to be a more sensitive and caring person with an enhanced understanding of anyone who steps into my office.

Hi! My name is Dr. William Brock and I am a psychologist in the San Diego area. Being a psychologist provides an incredible opportunity to work with people and help them make a difference in their lives. I have worked with many types of problems and I take great pleasure in helping people become more successful and productive. I provide individual assessment, cognitive behavioral therapy, individual and family therapy. My goal as a psychologist is to assist clients with identifying and solving their problems. My approach is supportive and geared to helping a client create a better life. A session usually involves informal discussion and study. Clients and I work together to learn and apply the principles of cognitive behavioral psychology. Clients typically share their progress, successes and problems since the previous session. They may review results of any homework, learn and practice new coping strategies, participate in some type of relaxation &/or positive visualization exercise, and receive a new homework assignment. Children will usually select a game or activity to play with the therapist while learning communication and coping skills.

Modern psychoanalysis offers a deeper, more lasting approach to personal growth than short-term therapies.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist , and I provide psychiatric services including medication and psychotherapy for adults, teens, and children. My goal is to practice psychiatry as it should be: unrushed, private, and based on the most current understandings of the mind and the brain. My appointments are twice as long as other area psychiatrists, so that we have the time to talk about all of your concerns. More time together allows us to get things right the first time. I provide medication, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and family or couples therapy. My ideal patient is someone who wants to understand more about how his/her mind works, who wants an active role in the treatment process. I also have the DEA Waiver for Suboxone and have a separate practice devoted to the huge local problem of pain pill addiction.

We will help you realize skills you possess that you can utilize to help yourself and to get along better with others. We will often suggest ways that you can test ideas or practice new skills during the time between appointments. Psychotherapy has been shown to be very helpful. It can help lead to better relationships, improved communication, and a significant reduction of feelings of unhappiness or distress. It can help you resolve specific problems, or increase the range of choices in your life so that it can be more satisfying and productive.

Each of us has individual interests and skills. We work together as a team when different family members need different kinds of help.
