Find a Therapist in Rialto, CA

Most people experience difficulty, transition, or change at some point, whether in their personal lives, jobs, or relationships. Families face many pressures in today's world, and seeking therapy can be a challenging decision. But understanding your need for support is a sign of profound courage. It can be difficult, though, to find a therapist who listens to you, understands your challenges, and really connects with you. I aim to provide a supportive and warm environment in which clients feel safe developing new skills and nurturing their confidence. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, and I specialize in helping children, teens, couples, individuals, and families, using a nonjudgmental and compassionate approach. I work with my clients to help them tackle interpersonal challenges, relationship struggles, family difficulties, conflicts between parent and child, anxiety, depression, panic disorders, substance abuse, trauma, mood disorders, life transitions, and grief. I aim to help my clients reduce their symptoms while understanding the underlying issues that help problematic thoughts and behaviors to continue. Therapy helps you understand why you choose ineffective behaviors and enables you to make lasting, positive changes in your life.

Imagine if you could see one professional to take care of all your emotional needs. Think of the time you could save if you didn’t have to make separate visits to a psychotherapist and a psychopharmacologist. Ivy League educated, and well schooled in both psychotherapy and medication management, I know the advantages of a blended approach, and I can offer a solution customized to your needs. As a psychotherapist, you’ll find my approach warm and engaging, and my office a safe space to work through your challenges. I draw upon my knowledge of cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic therapy to offer meaningful solutions that address your individual needs. As a psychopharmacologist, I am a physician who cares about you and your life, and who is as happy to recommend lifestyle changes as I am medication. As both your psychotherapist and psychiatrist, I offer you the benefit of confiding in a single professional who can take care of all your emotional needs.

As a therapist and licensed clinical social worker, I work with you through self-reflection, empowerment, and support. My approach is to meet each client where they are and to collaboratively develop a treatment plan based off your individual goals. I can provide support, problem solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, OCD, unresolved childhood issues, grief, chronic illness and stress. My therapeutic approach is to support each client through research based interventions. I utilize multiple methodologies including exposure and response prevention therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused and a family systems approach to assist my clients with their needs and goals.

Hello. I'm Dr. CJ Drake. I have more than 30 years of experience working in mental health care as a clinician, educator, and clinical supervisor. I prioritize confidentiality, compassion, and individualized collaborative care. My approach includes guided mindful discovery, empathic listening, client-centered processing, and targeted skill building drawing from CBT, DBT, and client-centered therapeutic approaches. I offer 50 minute telehealth psychotherapy sessions for clients dealing with depression, anxiety, adult ADHD, substance abuse, trauma histories, desired self improvement, and general coping difficulties. I would be happy to meet with you for a free telehealth initial consultation. I want to make sure that you can feel comfortable with me and that I am a good fit for assisting on your personal journey of achieving your unique therapeutic goals.

Therapy is scary. It is nerve-wracking to imagine sharing your secrets with a stranger. I truly understand that. But you might be here because you are ready to get the help you need and deserve. The first step in creating meaningful change is to acknowledge that you want something different and that you might be stumped as how to make that happen. I want to help you identify the patterns in your life that perpetuate the cycle you sometimes find yourself in. I want to help you discover your authentic self and live your life the way you've always wanted to. It's time to get into some action! I work with a variety of issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and self-harm behaviors, but I specialize in addiction. I have extensive knowledge of the 12-step process and have worked with individuals struggling with spirituality or higher power. I also work with families of addicts who have suffered just as much and often greater than the addict themselves. I enjoy working with all age groups including 65+, but my passion is working with young adults. My therapeutic approach is collaborative. I am trained in Gestalt therapy which is helpful in learning to identify emotions and patterns of behavior that lie at the root of many problems. I work from an inclusive and multicultural perspective, and I tailor treatment to fit each individual. I am also LGBTQ+ affirming.

We all enter the world through the same biological process. But that's where the similarity ends. Through our own family dysfunction, we become emotionally scarred and begin to believe things about ourselves that are not true. Things like: no one loves me and no one ever will, I will never achieve my goals, I am a mistake, I am alone and always will be, I will never find happiness, etc. Then we live our lives in the dark shadow of those deep-seated beliefs. Through therapy, you will learn to recognize those ugly lies that you've been told and taught. You will learn to challenge and dismiss them. Then you will begin to believe the truth, that you are no better or worse than others. That who you become and what you achieve is truly a matter of choice. Then you will learn and practice how to make healthy choices based on your new healthy beliefs that you are capable, lovable, and will begin achieving happiness today. Emotional growth is a life-long journey. My passion is helping hurting people begin the road-trip toward their highest possible level of emotional health. I lived with emotional pain many years before seeking therapy and was certain I was alone, that no one understood my personal struggle, and no one cared. That was my emotional state when I entered therapy as a last cry for help. Through my own therapy, I began the healing process and soon found hope. The world became a brighter place, my family began to heal, my personal and professional goals seemed to take on a life of their own and positive things began to be the norm, not the exception for me. I became a therapist so I could teach others to experience the wonderful world that is waiting just beyond the dark horizon of hopelessness, sadness, and gloom. Join me on the road to emotional health and happiness. I will initially hold your hand and guide you. But you will be taught and encouraged to let go of my hand and run free, run ahead of me, and never again allow others to negatively influence your destiny.

You may be used to holding everything together for everyone else. Lately, though, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply unlike yourself.

At Best Life Counseling Services, we offer a warm, thoughtful space where you can be honest about what’s happening without feeling judged or rushed. Our therapists support women navigating anxiety, burnout, pregnancy, postpartum life, and other transitions. We also work with couples who want to feel more connected as they adjust to parenthood and the demands of everyday life. We’ll start by getting to know you, what feels hardest right now, what matters to you, and what you hope will change. Together, we’ll make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck and find practical ways to move forward. We’ll meet you with compassion, ask meaningful questions, and help you build on the strengths you already have. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re returning during a new season of life, we want you to feel heard, supported, and more able to care for yourself and your relationships.

Being trained in Gottman Method Level I & II would benefit couples in learning to communicate more effectively, manage conflict better, and have an overall understanding of each other. Sometimes it is best to seek professional support whom can guide you to build a better relationship with your partner and children, and to improve your mood.

My client-centered and reality-based approach is reflective of my interpersonal style which embraces humor, candor, and relatability. My goal is always to help each person achieve the goals they've identified for themselves. Sometimes people come in unhappy and dissatisfied with their lives but can't articulate what's "wrong". In those cases, we work together to get to the root of their troubles so our goals for therapy can become clearer and we can work towards real solutions. I affirm everyone's ability to change his or her life in a positive way. By utilizing a few time-tested treatment models and integrating them according to each persons' needs, we can find a rhythm and process that really works. Motivation, support, guidance, compassion, honesty, and empowerment are things people can expect to receive from me in the therapeutic process because those are the things I would want for myself!
