I am a therapist providing for partners struggling with infidelity, addiction, intimacy issues, and codependency. The aftermath of infidelity can bring self-doubt, fear, loneliness, and a million questions with very few good answers. I offer counselling for husbands and wives to help navigate these challenges. I work closely with my clients to rebuild their sense of self and find secure, positive support as they heal through counseling. I also help clients who are sober or working a recovery program build healthier relationships that are free of the unhealthy patterns that existed in their past. I am passionately and genuinely interested in seeing my clients succeed and find resolutions that highlight the strength that is already within them. I am direct and caring in my approach. I try to make therapy a tool you can take with you and use in your everyday life. I believe therapy should be practical and motivating.

You may be here because something in your life no longer makes sense the way it used to. Maybe a relationship has been shaken by betrayal or conflict. Maybe you feel stuck, disconnected, anxious, or unsure of who you are or what comes next. Or maybe you know something needs to change, but you haven't been able to change it on your own. I can help you slow things down, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and figure out what to do with it. My style is active, warm, and direct. I won't just sit back and nod while you do all the work. I'll ask questions, help you notice patterns, and sometimes challenge you when I think there's something important you might not be seeing. At the same time, therapy isn't about me telling you how to live your life. My job is to help you understand yourself more clearly so you can make choices that actually fit the person you want to be. We'll pay attention not only to what's happening now, but also to the experiences, relationships, and beliefs that may have shaped how you got here. That can mean exploring old wounds and attachment patterns, and it also means looking closely at what happens in your life today: how you respond when you feel hurt, what you do when conflict gets uncomfortable, what you avoid, and what keeps repeating even when you want something different. There's room in my office for emotion, humor, frustration, uncertainty, and uncomfortable conversations. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what's wrong or what you want from therapy. We can figure that out together. What matters is that you're willing to be curious about yourself and open to doing something different.

One of the greatest gifts we have to offer is calm in the midst of chaos. If you are looking for a therapist for you or someone you care about then somewhere there is turmoil. Rarely do we seek help when things are good in our lives. My job is to be the sounding board so that you can process in a safe non threatening environment what is going on in your life that is causing distress. Sometimes the process is to get you unstuck and help you push through a decision that needs to be made. Or, it is to slow you down from being in a reactive phase and then move toward a proactive state. Learning how to pause and recognize the things in which we have control over is a gift because then you can move towards decreasing frustration and anxiety. Learning to focus on your strengths and the strengths of others allows us to experience our world in a more positive manner. It is often difficult to experience what is good in our life when we focus on the bad. And when we know what is good, right, or happy we can do more of it! Leaning mindful techniques will help increase internal and external awareness. Increasing communication skills will help us to connect our reality to others. Please join me in the process...

You may be feeling like an area of your life is either stuck in a rut or out of control...or somewhere in between which means you have come to the right place. My approach is to meet you where you are and set goals to either help you get out of the rut or get things back in control. Your situation may involve one of the following dynamics such as relationships challenges in the area parenting, marriage friends, family, romantic partner or in areas of life pertaining to life transitions, such as moving, changing jobs, death of a loved one, loss of a relationship or perhaps challenges it life choices or communication skills.

I provide an environment that through support and understanding will motivate significant and positive change in your life. Through honest feedback and discussion, you will acquire the tools necessary to achieve a more positive and fulfilling way of relating to the world around you. There are times in all of our lives when we experience challenges and transitions. While these challenges can be stressful and overwhelming, I believe they also present an opportunity for personal growth and change.

Hello, I am Dr. Nanci Carter and I am dedicated to working with adults — across the lifespan — who are seeking to make changes in their lives and improve their relationships. If people understood the important changes that depth work can create, it would help them make a meaningful choice for themselves. But that is often the problem, isn't it? Our difficulties can seem overwhelming and repetitious. Perhaps you wonder why you can't speak your truth. Maybe you experienced abuse or neglect as a child. You may tell yourself that “it’s all in the past", yet it is somehow woven through your current dilemmas and troubled relationships — and continues to cause you pain and distress. Because our memory is shaped through emotional experience, insight alone does not go deeply enough to make the desired changes - feeling your experience with another goes hand in hand with understanding. Our ways of being with others, laid down in childhood, can be understood and re-structured within the psychotherapy relationship.

If you're here, you might be exhausted. Maybe you're tired of feeling out of step with everyone around you, tired of carrying things nobody else can see, or just tired of pretending you're fine when you're not. Wherever you're starting from, I want you to know you're not too much, and you're not alone. I'm Linh, and I get it, partly because I've lived it. I'm a late-diagnosed person with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and a survivor myself, so when I say I understand what it's like to feel like your brain or your story doesn't fit the mold, I mean it. That lived experience shapes how I show up for you, with warmth, humor, and zero judgment, because healing doesn't have to feel heavy all the time. In our work together, you can expect honest conversation over lectures. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and I use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and somatic work to help you move past just talking about what's going on and actually feel a shift, while we build a toolbox of practical skills you can use in real life. My job isn't to fix you. It's to help you find the power and strength you already have, so you can move through the world as more fully yourself.

Practical, non-judgemental, with a goal of moving forward. Are you a struggling couple or individual, feeling stuck and emotionally tired? Are you a couple or individual ready for the next step in your relationship or in life!? I bring a variety of skills and compassion and experience to the room. I aim to help you feel stronger, calmer, and regain a sense of hope for your future, for your relationship, for happiness. I have two main areas of focus: Relationship skills and emotion regulation. For couples, I have been certified in the couples program Mastering The Mysteries of Love. For individuals and their families I have been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, helpful for those struggling with emotional regulation, relationship, and impulse control problems. I work from a goal oriented approach, looking at short term and long term goals, and keeping the focus on solvable issues, or assisting in finding acceptance. I worked in a psychiatric setting for 15 years, and managed the clinical team for 8. I have had a private practice since 2004. I have worked in a corporate setting as a quality coach and management trainer helping businesses and school organizations change for the better.

I have served as a psychologist for over 20 years, assisting people with issues such as work stress, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I use a two-pronged approach. I address the specific concerns that brought you to therapy, then implement a therapeutic style compatible with your personality, challenges, and approach to learning. Everyone has the power to change their lives. Clients say I am caring and compassionate, yet straightforward.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who is committed to providing an integrated mindbodyspirit approach to wellness. I founded Orange County Health Psychologists, a group practice of like-minded mental health providers with specialization in various areas of behavioral health and medicine. All of our health care providers are adept at treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. What sets us apart is that each of our providers also has expertise in a unique psychological sub-specialty including chronic pain, EMDR, sleep disorders, neuropsychology, grief and loss, terminal illness, cardiac-psychology, geropsychology, women's health, rehabilitation psychology, caregiver stress, psycho-oncology, energy psychology and eating disorders. We provide a variety of testing and assessment services including those for ADDADHD, memory loss, surrogacy, Asperger's and high-functioning autism, pre-marital assessment, and bariatric surgery. We also have a psychiatrist for adult medication management. Most of our providers accept Medicare and will bill out-of-network for other insurance plans.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or noticing that experiences from your past continue to affect how you feel and respond today. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety or depression, trying to cope with painful experiences, or finding that substance use has become a way of managing difficult emotions. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and co-occurring concerns. I am based in Costa Mesa and provide online therapy to adults throughout California. Together, we can explore what you are experiencing, better understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop ways of coping that support the changes you want to make. When appropriate, we may also use EMDR to help process traumatic or distressing experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and tailored to you. I draw from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and other approaches based on your individual needs. Sessions can include exploring what is coming up for you, identifying patterns that may be contributing to distress, and developing practical ways to cope and move forward. I am not here to judge you or tell you how you should feel. My goal is to provide a space where you can feel heard and supported while also helping you explore difficult patterns, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
