STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Transformation through Self-regulation ~ Professionalism, Caring and Value “I believe that everyone has the right to feel healthy and energetic. Stress often interferes with this; it doesn't have to be that way. A warm, professional atmosphere and a variety of bio-behavioral techniques can provide just the support necessary to help people be the very best they can be. I am personally in recovery from a 13 year Migraine headache and anxiety condition; biofeedback and counseling helped me to put this debilitating set of symptoms into remission without the use of medications. I am a living testimonial to the effectiveness of the complementary therapeutic approach to health. A combination of bio-behavioral and psychodynamic, creative approaches are used in therapy sessions. My education and training in Biofeedback, Psychophysiology, Creative Arts Therapy and Counseling offer a broad array of tools to use in my work with people. Each person is assessed and treated based on their unique needs. Symptoms treated include: Anxiety, weight/stress management, Migraine and Tension Headache, ADD/ADHD, High Blood Pressure, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Pain, and tension related to Pregnancy, Labor, Delivery and stress-related Infertility and; more. I also work with individuals and groups for: wellness, stress management, peak performance and performance enhancement.”

As a psychotherapist serving Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach and Newport Coast I work with couples and individuals who are experiencing relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, effects of trauma, and marital issues. Change does not occur easily and yet I continue to be inspired each day by the courage and motivation of the people I work with to challenge patterns that repeatedly cause heartache and turmoil, the effects of trauma from the past, and the problematic issues of daily living. No matter what the issue is, the most important aspect of therapy is developing a comfortable and trusting relationship with your therapist. I work in a way that provides that for each of my patients. So, If you're tired of the way your life is going, or if there are certain aspects that you know need some attention, I'd like to talk with you to see how I may be able to support you through your therapeutic process. I am caring, understanding and easy to talk to, and I provide a safe, comfortable place for you. I specialize in helping people live more fulfilling lives in their family, relationships and worklife. I also help people with increasing their confidence, as well as working through the effects of trauma, and issues from the past.

*I accept insurance and am a provider for: Cigna, Aetna, Value Options, Magellan, MHN, CHIPA and more. Psychology is my true calling, my gift, and my passion. I do not believe in labels of dysfunction. I see the potential for true "health" in every individual. I am Dr. Susan Murphy, PsyD, my daughter (Ally Tracy) and I, both USC grads, have joined forces as a dynamic mother/daughter duo, combining over 15 years of Psychology and Holistic practice experiences, to provide integrated counseling in the Palm Springs area. We offer individual, family and group counseling for a wide variety of your concerns and issues. We also give talks and workshops on many mental health issues . I also founded a Drink Moderation program called Motivational Recovery. This 6 week program, based on a Harvard research study, and practiced in Europe and Canada for dozens of years, allows the problem drinker the choice of learning to drink moderately or choose abstinence. I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I find hypnosis a wonderful adjunct to quickly uncover, explore, and heal issues from past childhood trauma and experiences, present fears, and future anxieties. These issues or patterns, once helping us survive childhood, can now be making our lives unmanageable. Releasing past negative issues, whether through traditional therapy, or hypnosis, can help us reclaim our sense of trust and our ability for intimacy and sexuality without fear and guilt. I also specialize in counseling for sexual addictions. Many perceived sexual "addictions" are not really "addictions", but a result of our not being able to really connect with anybody. One way to tell if you are engaged in healthy or unhealthy sexual activity is how out of control you feel and are you causing others and yourself pain. Ally Tracy has a unique gift as an intuitive counselor, specializing in the creative and healing arts-such as, Chakra Energy Balancing, Meditative Practices, Creative Art Therapy, Life Coaching and Self-esteem building. Ally is a published freelance writer and studied and taught drama in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. There is no magic cure or door; the answers are inside of you and we can help you uncover and implement them for a better life. The life you deserve.

Are you finding that your relationships aren’t working so well? It can be your relationship to yourself (just not feeling good about your self), your relationship to work (such as difficulties with co-workers or a boss), or your relationships with your family and/ or partner or friends. I believe that we are always striving to move towards personal growth and health. Our work is to remove these blocks with compassion and understanding so that you can achieve the changes that you want to make. My style is an interactive one with warmth, support, insight and humor.

Although often difficult periods of change can give us opportunities to bring our lives more in alignment with what has true value and meaning for ourselves. I work with people during important transitions in their lives, for instance either starting or leaving a significant job or relationship. Communication, trust, intimacy and/ or sexual issues win your relationship? I am very comfortable working with traditional, open/ poly and queer relationships. I can assist you and your partner(s) to develop better communication and understanding around sensitive topics such as betrayal, intimacy and trust. I use an approach called EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) developed by Dr Sue Johnson. Clinical research shows that 90% of couples report significant improvement within 12-20 sessions of EFT. As former Director of the Eating Disorders program at Community Institute of San Rafael, Marin, I work with people who obsess that if they only had the perfect weight their lives would work out. So many of us through over dieting and body hatred have lost our connection to ourselves. The body instead of being home for our psyche/ spirit becomes the battleground. I work with clients to end their battle with food and their bodies. Look at my video describing the popular teleclass series for how to empower yourself during the holidays especially when dealing with stressors around food and family: "Empower Don't Devour!' Do you feel emotionally stuck in the past? You might be suffering from trauma. I help my clients move through past traumatic experiences using EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) This well researched method has fast and effective results in working with people suffering from trauma. I also help my clients release the cellular and muscular memory of the trauma (which is where trauma is often stored) using somatic psychotherapy. This is an approach that taps into body awareness and mindfulness, which does not involve touch. Finally I have found Depth Hypnosis to be a highly effective tool for helping my clients get out of stuck places and create the change they want.

My practice is a unique type of practice. I am a firm believer that 2 heads are better than one. So, I have decided to form a group network of therapists who collaborate together to provide the best services that we can offer! We do more than just one therapist can do alone. I hired a team of licensed therapists who could work together, each offering a unique perspective, training and expertise, enabling us all to be able to provide you with better trained, skilled and experienced clinicians because we cross-train each other! We discuss case issues and collaborate to offer superior services to our clientele! For example, I am the owner and director of LA Therapy Network. I am a feminist therapist, have special knowledge and experience helping women in transitions and transitional ages, am expert in the treatment of trauma and trauma related syndromes, and I have over 25 years working with alternative families, adolescents, women and various sexual and gender variant communities. I am especially knowledgeable about women's issues, sex crimes, impact of sudden deaths, teen issues and the GLBTQI communities. I am trained in the treatment of extreme forms of trauma and chronic, repeated abuse/violence. If you are a person dealing with rape, incest or sexual abuse/violence for example, I am ideal therapist to contact. However I don't have as much experience in the treatment of couples, but I do have 2 therapists who are excellent at treating couples! So, if you are a gay male couple who is seeking a sensitive therapist who has an expertise in trauma you may seek me out. I will consult with my colleagues who treat couples to ensure that I am providing you with better care. I have ready access to therapists who are more knowledgeable and thus you benefit! Whereas if I were in practice on my own, you'd be left to getting only my knowledge and you'd have to hope I knew enough about what I was doing. This is really the truth about individual private practices. A therapist only is as good as his/her training. And let’s face it, there is only so much one can focus their training on. Thus... a group network of therapists makes all of us better! I make sure that every therapist here has different training, expertise and approaches and understandings of how to help clients. That way we all benefit... and that means we can pass our skills as a team onto you! It’s like getting an entire skilled clinical team of experts in one therapist! In addition, let’s say there are situations where I want to refer you out to seek additional services. Often I am just going to refer you to another member of my team. That way you are going to get a better chance of us collaborating closely together! Not so if I were just working on my own. I'd send you out to another professional who is working solo as well. The truth is we won't talk a lot. That means you as the customer get less than ideal care. That’s the whole idea of why I formed LATN, LA Therapy Network!

Do you struggle with anxiety, fears and phobias or flashbacks and panic attacks. These symptoms of anxiety also cause depression. Have you tried to get rid of these symptoms using talk therapies alone? Have you been disappointed with those results? EMDR is an evidenced based therapy which lessens feelings of shame, fear, and other feelings that hold self judgment and self limiting beliefs . Beliefs are important because they drive our livesIf (especially the beliefs that are unconscious). EMDR is a process that can easily change your perspective and disempower these limiting beliefs. I use EMDR and EFT (emotional freedom techniques) for faster relief of symptoms of sadness, shame, and fears. These are the 2 therapy techniques that bring the fastest relief to clients in emotional pain.

My intent in a counseling session is to show up as my whole self, and make space for you to show up as your whole self. I believe that people have an innate ability to heal, and I know that the keys to balance and well being exist inside of you. My work as a therapist is to use the tools and skills that I have learned and those that are inherent in me, to unblock the barriers on your path to health and wholeness. It is my hope, that I may aid you in calling home the lost and wounded parts of yourself and integrate that back into the complete and amazing you.

I take a holistic, body-mind approach in psychotherapy and work with clients to cultivate a grounded, more compassionate vision of their lives.

I will work with you to define and understand the source of your struggle, understand the purpose behind your patterns, reconnect with you essential parts of yourself, and improve your capacity to grow and accept change. I work with DEPRESSION, GRIEF, SHAME, ANXIETY, TRAUMA, RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS, concerns around LIFE TRANSITIONS, as well as the issues surrounding cultural identity. While change is often an opportunity for significant personal growth, it is normal to feel overwhelmed by the internal and external pressures that accompany a change process. I provide a empathic, collaborative healing space in which to explore your thoughts, feelings and questions. My theoretical framework is a combination of insight/depth-oriented, relational, cross-cultural, cognitive and somatic (body-oriented) psychotherapies. It is my belief that transformation and healing ultimately rest within us all. Therapy is a journey toward living more fully and reclaiming peace and wholeness. I do not presume to have the answers or know what is right for you. My job is to help you understand yourself as deeply as possible, so that you live and embrace your relationship with yourself and others in a way that is healthy, vibrant and meaningful for you.

I am a trauma informed therapist that uses a toolbox of methods to take the journey with you and help you heal the issues that are causing you pain. I am empathic, creative and I love to laugh. A good laugh heals a lot of hurts. — Madeleine L’Engle The bulk of my experience comes from working with vulnerable populations that carry a lot of trauma. That is the homeless population that includes LGBTIA, youth and adults with severe mental illness and/or substance use disorders. My approach is structured and relational. I transfer my trauma informed experience to this format to co-create with you the best plan to address your issues. You can expect me to be a guiding light on your journey that will provide safety and emotional support.

Are you having more intense feelings lately? Tired of trying so hard? Have you lost your creative edge and become too resigned to routine? Life changes. . . even something positive such as a new marriage, child or job can create unfamiliar situations and energies. Anxiety, confusion, irritability or emptiness are signs that its time to check in with yourself. Therapy is often about creating time each week to reflect, question, and evaluate what's going on for you. Many highly sensitive, gifted and talented people have come to pursue what is next with their self understanding and relationship to others. Executives, designers, educators, artists, entrepreneurs, innovators, helping professionals and others have returned over the years to develop further awareness and skills from as far away as Santa Monica, Rancho Palos Verdes, Westlake, La Verne and Downtown LA. Video counseling is available for residents of California (except for psychotherapy). Real-life issues can crop up for those who have emigrated, immigrated, or re-entered the US (within in the last two generations). I have first-hand experience with all three situations and have worked successfully with diplomats, peace corps workers, missionaries and expatriates.

Do you feel that your life is out of control? Do you feel misunderstood? Are you worried about the way your child or teenager is behaving? Do you wish things could be different? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then you’re not alone. Many of us experience ups and downs, and perhaps you’re experiencing more downs than ups. So how do you change that? Sometimes all it takes is one or two changes to get your life moving in a more positive direction. Together, we can figure out the changes that you can comfortably make to achieve a more fulfilling relationship, or to have a better understanding of your child or teenager, so that you will experience a sense of calm and happiness in your everyday life. I can also meet with your child or teen, individually or in a group setting and help them with issues such as: anger management, bullying, depression, socialization skills, and drugs & alcohol abuse. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I have created a therapy system called OM Rhythm Therapy, using hand drums and small percussion instruments, which I use with children and adults. I also play the didgeridoo, an Australian Aborigine instrument which is one of the oldest instruments known. The didgeridoo induces a meditative state, as well as a form of vibrational healing.

Areas of expertise: ■Individual and Couple Counseling ■Addictions, Eating disorders, Self-Mutilation In home interventions ■Post-traumatic stress ■Expressive and Healing Art Therapy ■Depression, Anxiety, Phobias, Sexual Identity Issues ■Relationship issues ■Mind Body disorders ■Sexual Trauma and Deviancy It is my belief that life throws us many different situations and circumstances, some of which we can deal with ourselves and some of which we need an outside source to help guide us along the way. Asking for help by society is viewed as a crutch, but in essence asking for help is the strongest characteristic we could have within ourselves. Not asking for help symbolizes the ultimate form of weakness and fear. By admitting our imperfections and need for help it is my belief that we enable ourselves to live fuller and happier lives. “We neither get better or worse as we get older, but more like ourselves.” Buddha

I help children and young adults manage and overcome difficult times, providing counseling for grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc. I take great pride working with the neurodiverse to help them better adapt and thrive in their lives.

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. ~ Rachel Naomi Remen This has been my professional email signature for seven, approaching eight, years as a Mental Health Counselor. Over these years, I have lobbied in Albany with the New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (NYAPRS), worked with Westchester and Putnam MHA’s. While the statement above may seem simple and obvious, it is a daunting task to truly give one’s complete attention. Counseling skills involve ways of listening and speaking that help a person feel supported, understood, validated, and hopeful. This is a remarkable mission and why I feel that counseling these past years has not only been a job but also a commitment. To me, listening is a science and a core of Mental Health Counseling. Columbia’s Center for Practice Innovations, where I have done training, supports, as do I, the approach of Motivational Interviewing and the science and art of listening that makes up strengths-based, person-centered approaches. In applying these skills through counseling, and facilitating groups and training, I have seen countless individuals benefit. I have worked in multiple settings: In-patient adolescent, substance abuse and 12-step groups, PROS Day programs, individual counseling, care coordination, social skills after school programs, senior living, domestic violence crisis, clinics and more. I have seen dignity return as individuals experience defining themselves from a strengths-based perspective that does not focus on prescribing interventions to prevent “maladaptive behaviors”. I have utilized the Stages of Change model and been trained in DBT, EFT, IFS, Somatic Experiencing and received certificates in suicide prevention, CBT, wellness, and Play Therapy techniques. My resume will show, I also have been recognized with several professional awards. Needless to say, my professional experience is extensive.

Holding yourself, day by day in order to make it through the daily grind your passion diminishes and you feel worn. At Therapy2Thrive™ we work with you to implement the tools and strategies that allow you to stabilize your feet in the sandy beach. We work with you to strengthen you stance and the muscles inside of yourself to sustain the waves that crash upon us as the tides of life pass in and out.

We offer services that include individual counseling, couples counseling, family counseling and group counseling. We provide services for adults, youth and seniors. Individual counseling is one of the most common ways people participate in the counseling process at Therapy2Thrive™ Pleasanton. The individual counseling relationship between client and therapist becomes a vehicle for positive change as you gain awareness regarding the issues that are brought into therapy. Couples counseling is different from Individual Counseling because the focus of the counseling relationship is the relationship between the two partners rather than the therapist with each individual. We work with evidenced based therapies for couples counseling. Child play therapy is an important area of treatment at Therapy2Thrive. Developmentally, children often communicate their fears and worries in largely a non-verbal way. Your Therapy2Thrive™ therapist interacts with your child’s inner world through the strategic use of imaginary play, art, games and, other symbolic activities. This process of “Play Therapy” helps children cope with difficult emotions, create solutions to their problems, and develop healthy self-esteem. Therapy2Thrive™ child counselor understands the important role parents have in their child’s life. Therapy2Thrive™ works with teens to support their development of themselves while still maintaining their relationship to their families. The Therapy2Thrive™ family therapist supports the family’s overall health and well-being through skill development and shared growth. Group counseling provides a setting where a group of people come together, usually on a weekly basis, to explore, learn and grow through the collaborative sharing of the group’s members. Come join us at Therapy2Thrive™ to Thrive Again!

I am a licensed clinical social worker and I truly look forward to working with you. It can often be an overwhelmingly difficult decision to reach out for help and I appreciate the challenges that you may face. I am committed to being with you along this journey of self-understanding, empowering you towards change, offering you support and acceptance along the way. I work with individuals and families coping with a variety of concerns, whether that is a recent transition in their life, an experience of grief or loss, relationship distress, or simply a desire to better understand yourself and gain balance in your emotional life. Additionally, I specialize in working with women and their partners throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period and all of the complexities in between. I also take a particular interest in working with early childhood mental health. I utilize my experience and training to work with young children though play therapy and partner with their parents to gain insight into their child's experience and promote social and emotional well-being. My therapeutic approach is grounded in a strengths based perspective, which means we will look at your strengths and work towards using your strengths to make desired changes in your life. I also utilize a psychodynamic understanding of individuals to guide my work. This understanding will assist us in exploring how your life experiences may have shaped your decisions, emotions, and relationships. Additionally, through my training I have developed an understanding of mindful practice and how it can lead to a self-awareness and a positive approach to our own emotions, our own life and our own happiness.

Patty Caldera, MSW, LCSW and owner of Amaranth Counseling works with individuals, children, families and couples who are in need of therapy for Traumatic events, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, ADHD, Marital Problems and other mentally and emotionally disturbing experiences. We specialize in Brain Based Therapies such as RRT (Rapid Resolution Therapy), SPECT Imaging Analysis, EMDR Therapy, Gestalt Couples Therapy and cutting edge natural alternative therapies in order to help clients cope with and move beyond the problems that are holding them back. At Amaranth Counseling, we focus on helping clients heal yesterday’s wounds in order to build hope for a better tomorrow. I feel strongly that people are not the evidence of their circumstances or diagnosis. People are much much more than a group of behaviors or symptoms and should be respected as such. Therefore, I am rarely accept insurance assignments as they require full disclosure of your personal information and in many cases are subject to the determining of your future insurance eligibility. I will happily provide you with receipts for you payments to submit to your insurance company at your convenience. I would be honored to have the opportunity to earn your trust and provide you the best therapeutic experience possible. I love my job and I truly enjoy working with people who are ready to make the investment of time in themselves to optimize their lives.

My goal in healing work is to support the natural growth of children, couples and individual adults. I will work with your unique insights and tribulations as an individual or family, so that you can recover from whatever limits you from acting on your own inherent resources and vision. Chronic stress is considered the root of most physical and emotional illness. So imagine the power of learning to live nourished by life’s potential rather than worried and stressed by projections of fear. Imagine the difference between straightening your back and looking someone in the face with a smile rather than looking down into yourself. Somatic Psychotherapy helps you integrate these kinds of emerging insights into how you approach your life and relationships.

At times we all need extra support and help with overcoming difficulties. I am a holistic therapist and certified sex therapist with nearly 15 years experience. I am passionate about working with individuals who are creative and open-minded. As a holistic sex therapist, I specialize in the treatment of women’s health, body image, painful intercourse, sexual wellbeing, intimacy, relationship issues and eating disorders. I also specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and related issues, such as anxiety, depression and body image issues. From this work, I have learned to recognize that one size does not fit all. I tailor my clinical approach to fit the unique needs and strengths of each individual; looking at the entire person, rather than a disorder or label. My professional and personal journey have led me to blend Western Psychology and Eastern Philosophy practices, mindfulness, somatic, meditation. compassion, breath and bodywork, and the creative healing arts when appropriate.

Even in times like these, while anxiety is contagious, so is genuine connection and compassion. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, PTSD, depression or spiritual growth--I would love the opportunity to talk to you about what a better tomorrow would look like. I use clinically-minded, cognitive behavioral tools to help implement positive change for deeper personal fulfillment, presence authenticity and joy by creating a therapeutic space that is non-judgmental, safe and adaptable to what you need. I use person-centered practices and can implement meditation, poetry, walking therapy and art therapy in session as well. I offer traditional talk and tele-therapy with practices based in: CBT, ACT, person-centered and mindfulness. I use research-based methods to provide treatment based in effectively proven methods. I use positive psychology throughout session and am happy to refer you to resources that help outside of session, whether that's a book, meditation, yoga, etc. Creating a compassionate, safe and non-judgmental space for personal growth and fulfillment is of utmost importance in my practice. I sometimes incorporate meditation, art therapy and mindfulness techniques in session (if you feel these techniques would be a good fit for you) to address anxiety, trauma and difficulties coping with major life transitions.

I have been in practice for over 11 years helping individuals and families with the issues that have disrupted their lives and are holding them back from living the full and happy life we all deserve. I use various forms of talk and expressive therapy with adults and children. I work with small children using play therapy, with older children I work with expressive art therapy and talk therapy. But, I like to add, there is no one size fits all methodology and I strive to be flexible, so we can find out what is most helpful for you, it is your therapy. If you don't think therapy is right for you but you still face a life changing decision or you are trying to find a new path to success we also offer Life Coaching. I have been trained as a life coach and educated with an MBA and have a variety of life experiences that might be helpful for you in planning the next step in your life.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families and groups in my private practice in East London and Central and through Skype. After two sessions of consultation I can offer once to five times per week sessions. Normally it takes at least one to two years to get results. I offer individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults that experience emotional difficulties in order to understand the unconscious reasons behind and to restore the balance in the mind. The setting that I offer is a space where the person can express whatever comes to the mind and to establish a relationship with me that will help the growing process. With children I use the play technique where the child uses the play and drawings to expresses the emotions and I give back an understanding of the meaning. With adolescent and adult the words are the main medium of meaning and understanding how to further the development process. From one session to four sessions per week is the space where is possible to explore the inner reasons of any psychological and emotional difficulties.
