Find a Therapist in Rolling Hills Estates, CA

Over the many years I have been engaging in therapeutic practice, I have noticed that people often come to therapy when they are feeling stuck, alone, or think that they have exhausted their available resources for coping. My role as your therapist is to serve as a tour guide, helping you identify and express your needs and wants, as well as recognize your strengths and abilities to heal and grow. I also often work to understand how your past experiences and current situation may relate to moving forward. We work together to make change and facilitate the life path that feels right for you. I take a warm, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy.

I am passionate about supporting clients to live a life of healthy self-directed inspiration. Life can bring unexpected traumatic events like cancer diagnosis that can leave a person stuck and unable to navigate their way out. Healing and recovery is imperative in order to live a life that is strengthened and recreated with greater meaning. I provide support and collaboration while working through presenting issues. My clients live positively transformed lives with deeper awareness, person integrity and respect.

As a psychotherapist and Jungian analyst, I will help you tap inner resources to better understand and deal with life challenges. We will explore who the 'you' is under anxiety, fears, depression, difficult relationships, and low esteem. As we navigate through outer and inner times of confusion, you will learn anxiety management and effective communication techniques, and find ways to keep going through depression and grief. During our work together we will also explore how dreams, art, journaling, sandtray, and creative imagination play an active part in healing. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who want to connect more deeply with their inner lives, their dreams, and unrealized potentials. I pay close attention to the ignored, repressed, or out of tune parts of your psyche that stand in the way of living up to your full potential. Together we will work on exploring hidden aspects and dynamics of the self. As we do this, individuals often find outer life and relationships changing and find themselves more in harmony with innate wisdom and guidance. My interest is to also help you find and hold onto a sense of meaning, fulfillment, and self-worth in times of chaos, confusion, and disorientation.

Navigating relationships, conflict and attachment issues can be challenging. Coping with anxietydepression, and confronting life's unexpected challenges can add to the overwhelm of daily life. It's important that you connect with a provider who's dedicated to your goals and helping you achieve the understanding, acceptance and change you need. I am licensed in New York and California, and work exclusively with adults (individually, couples, and executives). I specialize in attachment issues, relationships, anxiety, communication and nutritional psychiatry. My work is entirely evidenced-based and my approach is empathically direct and resolutely dedicated to your success. Effective therapy requires a good therapeutic match and a collaborative effort between the therapist and the patient. No matter the reason that brings you to seek therapy initially, our work together will have a lasting positive impact in your personal life and outside world. Consultation calls are complimentary. I hope to hear from you soon!

Danielle Matthew, LMFT is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist whose lifelong mission is to treat and support bully victims and their families, aid schools and health and wellness professionals, and educate others about the bullying epidemic. Danielle has worked as a clinician in the field for over 25 years with children and adolescents in various environments including day treatment programs, residential facilities, and outpatient services. She has supervised a therapeutic one-on-one behavioral program, facilitated therapy groups and conducted clinical authorizations for an insurance provider. Danielle has additionally conducted group and individual therapy with adults. In 2014 as Danielle became concerned by an increase in patients suffering from bullying, she conducted research which concluded that while there are many bullying prevention programs, there are few programs in Los Angeles that address the crisis point of bullying to help children and adolescents heal. In response, Danielle developed The Empowerment Space Bullying Therapy Program to ensure that there is crucial support available to empower children and their parents with skills to address bullying and create stronger, more positive support systems for children. Danielle educates schools, medical professionals and the community about the bullying epidemic. She has authored Amazon Parenting Best-Seller, The Empowered Child: How to Help Your Child Cope, Communicate, and Conquer Bullying, and has been featured in Huffington Post, TODAY.com, and has appeared on Fox, ABC and CBS Morning Shows and Mom Talk Radio.

My mission as a therapist is to affirm the best in you. I believe that as human beings, we require a sense of safety and affirmation in order to take the courageous step of examining our own lives, even those aspects that are painful. I seek to create that safety with a warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth approach to treatment. The services I provide are trauma-focused and identity-affirming. I use interventions from a number of philosophies, including internal family systems, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), attachment theory, and the existential tradition. Throughout my work, I have helped many first-time or initially reluctant, participants overcome paralyzing anxieties, insecurities, and heartbreaks they once believed would be a part of their lives forever. Reach out when you feel ready to start the healing journey!

My humanistic, client-centered approach honors your person, experience, opinions, views, and wishes. It is my intent to provide a genuine experience of safety, warmth, and acceptance. It is amazing what you can accomplish when you have someone in your corner who sees, believes in, accepts, and supports you—this is the experience I aim for with every client. My approach incorporates aspects of collaborative, solution-focused, and narrative therapies to help you get unstuck and get on with your life. Experience has taught me the best thing anyone can do to help themselves is take action. Action creates momentum which leads to more action, which helps create change. I can help you learn to recognize and modify the patterns, beliefs, and behaviors holding you back--things which may be preventing you from taking action. We will work together to help you develop the tools, resources, and confidence you need to begin moving forward. Action without conviction may produce changes which do not ‘stick.” This is where the client-centered aspect of our work together comes in. By developing genuine compassion, respect, trust, and acceptance for and of yourself, you will come to believe you are absolutely worth the effort—you ARE worth it. That conviction is within you, we just have to find it. Let’s find it together. A favorite analogy: if you don't plant anything in your garden, nothing will grow. Not only will it remain empty, and may fill with unwanted weeds. Metaphorically speaking, my job is to help you figure out what to plant, and to care for the garden that is your life. With effort, mindfulness, self-care, and acceptance, you can grow all the wonderful things you wish for, and I would love to help you plant it.

Do you find yourself completely exhausted at the end of each day from the effort it takes to go through the motions? Maybe you spend so much time focused on internal worries or past experiences that you feel disconnected from those around you or like life is passing you by. The clients I work with share these struggles. Despite being hard-working, successful, and invested in their relationships, they often feel as though their efforts are never enough. They just don't feel like themselves. Whether you've been feeling this way for a while or noticed a recent shift, you deserve to feel like yourself again. Feeling sure of yourself and confident in what you have to offer is not out of your reach. Together we can explore how your past experiences may be impacting your view of yourself, emotional experiences, and current relationships. We can work together to help you enrich your life and experience growth, healing, and overall well-being. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience. In order to fit the unique needs of each client, I use an integrative and multicultural framework to build a collaborative relationship that honors each client's unique and diverse identities, values their strengths, and fosters personal insight, & empowerment.

Hi, my name is Allison. I've been a therapist for thirty years, working with individuals and teens who have experienced trauma. I specialize in attachment, complex developmental trauma, and relationship challenges. I work with individuals who have been exposed to early or chronic trauma, violence, neglect, abandonment, and attachment disruptions. These experiences can create challenging or disabling behavioral patterns affecting the body, heart, and mind. Complex trauma related to grief, loss, neglect, abuse, and abandonment can make individuals or parents feel overwhelmed, easily triggered, and chronically anxious or depressed. Learning effective strategies to create a healing path for your life and journey is always possible. We cannot shame ourselves into change! Seeking help is one of the bravest things we can do for ourselves. Breaking the pattern of intergenerational trauma allows us to become who we were truly meant to be ... our most authentic self.

Finding the right support for your teen can seem daunting, but I'm here to help. Hi there, my name is Jessie! As a licensed clinical social worker with 7+ years of experience, I've helped teens and families thrive in settings like residential treatment, outpatient care, and community programs. I specialize in helping teens ages 12-17 reduce anxiety, cope with depression, manage attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), address behavioral issues, navigate family conflict, handle school or social challenges, reduce self-harm and suicidal thoughts, or recover from substance use. I provide individualized care unique to your teen. Using evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment therapy, I offer a person-centered approach that honors each teen’s strengths. Together, we’ll address challenges like anxiety, life transitions, and relationships, fostering resilience, growth, and calm through mindfulness. My favorite part about working with teens is witnessing their incredible capacity for growth and transformation! As a part of the Evolve Adolescent Behavioral Health network, I've seen life-changing transformations happen in families. Together, we'll create a path forward to lasting change.

The best of both worlds: collaborate with a 14-year seasoned therapist and enjoy the flexibility and convenience of virtual services. You don't need to live more years with the same arguments again and again or as "ships passing in the night"; rediscover that "person you feel in love with" and become a better version of yourself along the way-- with Laura Myers, a psychotherapist, life coach, and expert in couples therapy and individual therapy processes

We all want to be heard when something is bothering us. Having someone hear us when we are upset can mean a lot. It can also feel good to have someone to vent to when a day has been long. I am interested in helping you through life's struggles and setting goals for the future. I'm also here to guide and support you through difficult experiences. I am here to listen because sometimes you may need to share when life changes, or need help processing what has happened. I want to be there for you even when the day is neither good nor bad. I am here.
