I assume that everyone is doing the best they can to handle the uncertainties and ups & downs of life. People often seek my help when the approaches or strategies that have worked well for them in the past don't fit or help with current circumstances. Or perhaps the old approaches and strategies have always been fraught with problems and now it feels like the right time try to make fundamental changes. In either case, my goal is to collaborate and think together with you so that we can understand what is and is not working for you, why, and to help you come up with more satisfying solutions to your circumstances. My approach is interactive, warm, and direct. I want us to recognize and build on your strengths as well as understand your struggles. I emphasize safety, respect, honesty, and curiosity because these values that facilitate a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Hello! ^_^ Welcome to my GoodTherapy Profile ^_^ Are you looking for a therapist who really gets you, who you can feel comfortable with, and really open up to? Some therapists are super stiff, rigid professionals who give very little of themselves in session. That's not me. I am very open, genuine, and personable in session and strive to make positive, meaningful relationships with my clients. People often comment that I am very friendly and approachable, and this tends to be something people respond well to in a therapist. I work with a wide variety of people in therapy but I primarily specialize in working with: -Couples -Teens -LGBTQ clients -Addiction -Sex positive, kink aware, and polyamory I sometimes tell people that I broadly specialize in working with anyone who is used to being or expects to be judged by others. If you've got anything going on in life that you feel like most people would judge or be weirded out by and you want someone safe and accepting to talk to, I'm the therapist for you! :-p

I help you slow down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we listen to the parts of you that have learned to overfunction, stay guarded, or hold everything together, and begin to understand what they need. Therapy becomes a space to move beyond old patterns and reactive cycles. With curiosity and care, we create room for clarity, stronger boundaries, and more honest connection with yourself and the people who matter most. I help individuals and couples reconnect, heal past wounds, and create relationships that feel safer, more grounded, and vibrant. I work with accomplished California professionals, couples, and men facing relationship stress, identity or self-esteem challenges, burnout, or questions about separation and repair. Many are high performers who function well at work but struggle at home, carrying a constant mental load or wondering how ADHD or neurodiversity may play a role. My approach is warm, collaborative, and centered on you. I bring a socioculturally attuned perspective, honoring the ways your culture, identity, and lived experiences shape your emotional well-being and relationships. I work with individuals and couples in a practical, compassionate, and effective way to create lasting transformation using an integrative approach grounded in emotion focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic theory. This is not just insight, but deep, lasting change—reflected in how you connect, set boundaries, and engage. Reaching out can feel intimidating. Acknowledging pain and uncertainty takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a spacious, unhurried therapeutic relationship where the complexities of life can be explored with openness and compassion, creating meaningful change.

To work with me is to consider seeing your life through the lens of rites of passage. To see life as a ceremony. Holding the possibility that each day, each moment is a ritual. Of tending to what is unfolding as well as creating what we long to be. A practice of presence. Walking the wild edge. The threshold of change. Therapy can be both an act of kindness towards yourself as well as a resource, a place for healing, a journey towards wellness, a container to be held in the alchemical shift that dissolves the old and initiates the new. It is a deeply personal process, ultimately transformative in that it relies on several vital ingredients: willingness, desire, and commitment. Healing is a path of devotion. I believe we are all cyclical beings. We see the cycle of life, death, and rebirth everywhere-–in the earth’s seasons, in the phases of the moon, in our gardens, and in our breath cycles. This process of building up towards a peak of growth and fullness and then waning down towards darkness allows for rebirth and is a fundamental piece of what it means to be human. As we navigate these cycles, we develop both healthy and unhealthy patterns and rhythms that guide our lives. We create these patterns, both consciously and sometimes unconsciously, from a combination of influences from our internal worlds as well as our environment. My clients appreciate my willingness to get lost and found in the discovery together. My passion lies in initiating people into their magic & medicine. I work with folks navigating all sorts of life transitions and guide them in moving through the threshold that life is calling them to cross over. Claim their RITE TO HEAL. I am a fierce advocate for creative possibility and radical aliveness. The alchemy of activism means our healing work is act of (re)evolution. I love working with healers in all their glory, catalyst creators, community tenders, disruptors, leaders who are looking to embody their seat, folks who are here to change their lineage in radical ways, and always people who are asking the questions that go beyond themselves. My joy is supporting folks liberating from constructs that are too small and supporting them in their Sovereignty. Often I am holding space for deep grief, lost inner children, folks who are unwinding from codependency, magical people who were never reflected, and always people ready to initiate onto their soul path. My work with couples is deeply rooted in the belief that partnershiprelationship is a sacred path of shadow work and radical self responsibility. For there is no such thing as one way liberation. I hold the therapeutic relationship as an intuitive field, where we are guided by the mythos and magic of storytelling. Always listening to the story of the Soul longing to breakthrough and be expressed in its fullest exaltation. My prayer is that we awaken to the inquiry that goes beyond just who we are into a deep remembering of what we are. Many people say that my work feels more like wisdom, devotion, curiosity, reverence, magic and mayhem more than anything else. I am honored to be your guide. You can work with me directly @ www.wylderlife.com I see clients virtually in CA. I am rooted in Sebastopol, CA.

Welcome, I’m Sam Moglen, a licensed marriage and family therapist providing therapy for individuals throughout California and Florida via online sessions. Whether you’re struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, therapy can help you find clarity and feel more connected to yourself and those around you. I am trained in a range of modalities, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), the Rest and Restore Protocol, the Safe and Sound Protocol, polyvagal theory, and somatic therapy approaches in a way that feels safe and comfortable for you. Our first meeting is really about starting a conversation. I’ll invite you to share what brought you in, what you hope to get out of therapy, and a bit of your background. Just as important, you’ll get a feel for my style and whether it feels like a good fit for you. Think of it less as an interview and more as a chance to begin building a safe and supportive connection. I believe therapy offers something rare in daily life: a space to slow down, reflect, and connect more deeply with yourself. Whether you’re facing grief, anxiety, or relational challenges, I consider it an honor to accompany people through difficult seasons and witness their growth.

Whatever has brought you here, I've no doubt it's an opportunity to create something better. I can help you release old, painful patterns that go nowhere, so you can find the freedom to move forward with what matters most to you. You will find me to be an enthusiastic catalyst for you to be a game changer in your own life! You can rely on my 35 plus years of experience and my genuine, playful, compassionate and generous presence. You will get gentle and clear, inspiring feedback. Your concerns will be heard as you experience me actively engaged with what is most important in your mind and heart. Whatever you bring, however broken you might feel, I see you as whole, no matter what you are dealing with. Our collaboration will invite new, enlivening choices for you. We'll work as collaborators for your best evolution.

I passionately believe in your inherent worth, and I believe you have the tools needed to make the changes you want in your life. My goal is to walk beside you on your journey and collaborate with you on where you want to go, what you want to do, and how you wish to cultivate your own experience. I believe good therapy stems from non-judgment and acceptance. Come as you are, and know that however you show up, that is ok. We often go through life with worry, fear, sadness, self-blame, and insecurity. We feel as though we need to change, or that we aren’t good enough, and we don’t know where to start. My job is to support you in living and feeling the way you want to and help you find self-acceptance along the way. I am honored and privileged to bear witness to the stories, experiences, and challenges that shape who you are as a person. People of all genders, sexualities, races, sizes, and abilities are welcome in my practice. Recognizing and acknowledging my privilege and how it shows up in relationships, personal and professional, is of great importance to me.

First and foremost, I work hard to provide a safe space for people to come and discuss what is bothering them. Talk therapy is extremely helpful for people who want to know themselves better, understand how their childhood issues have impacted their ability to live the life they want, and to learn what keeps them from feeling content with their lives. Self knowledge is the key to making good choices - good choices create positive changes and lead to a more satisfying life. For people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (a kind of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) which can significantly decrease both obsessive thoughts and compulsive behavior and rituals. Feel free to call me to discuss this treatment approach.

We are born in relationship, we grow in relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we are healed in relationship. - Harville Hendrix, couples therapist Taking a step into the unknown can feel intimidating, but you are searching for a reason. It has been an honor to accompany my clients on their journey to seek their own truth and understanding, helping to restructure a life of emotional pain and confusion into an empowering experience that feels safe and full of hope. It is my belief that all emotional suffering can be relieved through loving and healthy relationships with ourselves and others. Providing a safe space for our emotional healing through psychotherapy can be one of the most beneficial ways we can engage in self care for ourselves and our relationships. I work with individual clients and couples collaboratively to heal wounds they have carried from their life experiences that have created unhealthy habits, thought processes and behaviors. By utilizing a variety of interventions including: neuropsychotherapy, narrative therapy, attachment based approaches, somatic modalities, internal family systems and EMDR; the work we engaged in is uniquely integrated allowing for a holistic experience. I use compassion, empathy, assertiveness and humor while in the room with my clients and I most enjoy working with individuals and couples who are looking to expand their awareness of self and enhance their overall wellbeing. I strive to use a culturally competent lens while practicing psychotherapy, as well as being inclusive of diversity when working with individuals and couples. I have worked in the field of mental health since 2012 in a variety of roles such as; working with at-risk populations locally and internationally, law enforcement and first responders, facilitating therapeutic services in correctional facilities, providing psychotherapy in community health settings and private practice.

Humanistic Psychology is based on a positive view of the psyche, and mental illness is often seen as a call from the psyche to pay attention, to become more mindful, and to be willing to listen to your own heart's desire to change and to heal. I profoundly enjoy working with people in an accepting and non-judgmental way that helps them actualize their potentials for healing and for being the very best that they can be. I work with people to "wipe the fog off of the mirror of self-reflection" as they learn to see themselves more clearly. As your psychotherapy proceeds, we work to create a safe relationship through which you can experience unknown or even feared aspects of your personality. We explore possible adjustments in your behaviors, habits, thinking, and emotional processing to improve your life, increase happiness and self-efficacy, and deepen self-love; and we will explore how you can make these changes.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from different psychotherapy orientations. This allows me to tailor therapy to your needs and to create a truly collaborative process as we decide where we''ll go and how we''ll get there. Since successful therapy depends on a strong relationship between client and therapist, my first priority is nurturing that bond by creating a safe and supportive environment. I believe therapy is most effective when it is flexible, demystified, and client-centered, so you can expect me to be transparent about my ideas and approaches. My style is at times infused with humor and is always warm and direct. You are already the expert on you. As your guide and advocate, I''ll help you develop the insight, curiosity, and courage to create the life you want, whether you are looking to reduce anxiety, feel more joy, or release the past. If you are facing sadness, anxiety, trauma, or dependence, finding and contacting a therapist is likely a daunting process and a huge leap of faith. Congratulations on taking the first steps -- you''re already closer to your fullest life and your truest self.

We seek psychotherapy for all kinds of reasons, commonly from a deep wanting for something to be different, for something to change. My goal is to help lift the veil of what is not working in your life by bringing you closer to yourself, your loved ones, and creating a path to a life you want, like, and feel that you are choosing. Clients who gravitate toward me as a therapist tend to share a desire to know themselves with greater depth and kindness. I offer the opportunity to make connections between what has happened in the past and the impact on the present, while also consistently highlighting strengths and what is working well. These skills can assist us in weathering issues like anxiety, depression, addiction and co-dependency, chronic illness, and challenging or fractured relationships. My presence can be described as curious, interactive, collaborative, and authentic. At times I will bring humor, at times challenging insights and feedback. And while I will always be a FOMO anarchist, challenging us to slow down rather than rush, I will show up with humility and respect for each individual’s pace, process, and needs. I meet people with allyship, with particular sensitivity to identities and populations that are systemically disallowed from taking up the same amount of space and value as others. My primary therapeutic orientations are relationalhumanistic, strength-based, and internal family systems. I look forward to hearing from you for a free consultation so you can decide whether I may be a place of safety and support for you.
