Find a Therapist in Home Gardens, California.

The types of counseling are various. Some are short, some are insightful, some focus only on thoughts, some strive to get the heart of emotions, some work with minor problems, some work with more severe psychological struggles. Psychotherapy can cover all of these types of counseling, but the main focus is on helping a person with a troubled mind. The trouble in your mind may be minor or complex, but in either situation you can find relief as you connect with a psychotherapist to gain therapy for your mind. Like an onion being peeled, you may find more and more relief as you experience therapy that gets to know you and provides the compassion you need.

I know that people who want to change their lives do so from a position of strength. Sometimes we can get overwhelmed by everything that it is going wrong. My role is to be your objective observer who will have the important task of reminding you of what is going right also. We will need what is going right to fix what is going wrong. Let's get started right away! You are cordially invited to view my blog "Recipe for Happiness" at: www.gail-desilets.blogspot.com

Psychotherapy is not anything to be scared of, or intimidated about. Seeking out a therapist or being in therapy isn't an admission of weakness or some kind of character flaw. Therapy is a collaborative process and a partnership with someone who is trained in and experienced with facilitating personal growth. And in this process, you are in the driver's seat. Our minds and emotions and relationships involve complicated machinery just like our bodies do and in the same way a medical doctor helps you stay physically healthy, Psychotherapy is designed to help you be and stay mentally and socially strong, and continually in a position to take on life's many challenges as your best self.

When we work with clients, we don't jump to conclusions to diagnose a problem quickly. Instead, we explore with curiosity, looking through 3 lenses. We ask, "What's going on WITHIN, BETWEEN, and AROUND." Looking WITHIN helps us to identify the dominant patterns of thinking, believing, valuing, feeling, and choosing that contributes to the problem. We look at how a person makes meaning within their world, honoring their experience without judgment, offering warmth and genuineness. Looking BETWEEN, we explore the patterns of relating, roles, and interpersonal attachment occurring within relationships. Finally, looking AROUND, we engage factors in the environment (job, school, family).

I count it a privilege to walk with my clients into a new version of themselves through sessions in the therapy room. I work to deeply hear and understand my clients. We will look at how they got where they are and work to change the perspective/dynamic that's keeping them in this painful place. We will look at how past and current relationships have impacted them and changes they can make to improve their relationships.

Psychotherapy is often something that can benefit all people of all backgrounds no matter what they are going through. Being able to have a safe space where you can discuss inner feelings, inner thoughts, concerns and struggles is important to overcoming those challenges of life. Being able to reach your goals, whether that is overcoming anxiety or just becoming a better version of yourself, psychotherapy can help you achieve this. It helps you gain a better understanding of yourself and your goals, helping you learn the process as well! I look forward to helping you in this journey!

I enter into each new psychotheraputic relationship with an extreme prejudice that therapy works, for most people. Finding the best fit is an important component to good treatment. It's important for the person whom you are sharing your most vulnerable and initimate information be someone you have faith in, sets good boundaries, understands your specific needs and that you can ask questions freely and without judgement. I work collaboratively with clients to better gain a sense of understanding about their particular problems or concerns. Each therapist brings their own education, personality and experiences to the therapy hour, its part of our humanness and this must be a good fit.

I specialize in helping you resolve experiences of trauma and loss from an attachment framework with incorporation of your personal faith. I am passionate about helping you move from victim to victorious, helping you to resolve dissonance between your view of God and your experiences, restore interpersonal relationships to wholeness, and create empowerment by strengthening internal and external supports.

Our staff are trained in a variety of techniques. Depending on your needs we can schedule you with a family therapist who uses family systems therapy, a couples counselor who has been trained in premarital and couples counseling, or a therapist who specializes in anxiety and uses behavioral therapy, hypnosis or EMDR as therapeutic techniques. Whatever you need, we probably have a trained therapist to help.

There is physical therapy for the body and psychotherapy for the brain. I use psycho-dynamic, cognitive behavioral, play therapy, hypnotherapy and relaxation therapy. I take a very personalized and holistic approach to the individual because everyone is unique and should not be treated in a generic way. I foster independence using experiential and mindfulness training rather than having the client becoming depend on me.

I have a warm, compassionate, down-to-earth style. I focus on helping people improve self-awareness, learn self-acceptance and create greater intimacy in their relationships. I believe in creating a sacred space where individuals can honor their true feelings and learn to let go of shame. I do not offer trite clichés or stereotypical therapeutic interventions; my treatment approach helps individuals develop mindfulness, curiosity and self-compassion. Your wounds will be honored, your imagination will be cherished and your dreams will be respected. Most importantly, I am dedicated to supporting your healing and growth.

In laymen's terms, psychotherapy is the opportunity to talk about and process your problems or challenges with a trained therapist. Sometimes, we don't need someone to try to fix our problems for us, which is what most of our friends try to do when we talk about them. Sometimes we need someone who will listen and be a sounding board so we can think through and process for ourselves. I want to support you with your goals and your needs and we can make a therapy plan (psychotherapy or other types) that you feel will best suit your needs. Most importantly, I provide that safe environment for you to be able to be vulnerable, talk about, and process whatever is on your heart and in your mind.

Psychotherapy can be a frightening word because “psycho” brings up images of Norman Bates and he is certainly someone none of us want to be associated with. The truth is that psychotherapy is just a fancy word for counseling. If “therapy” is used alone, people ask if it is physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc. A prefix was needed to distinguish it from other therapies and unfortunately “psycho” was chosen. Please don’t let the word stop you from seeking any necessary help you may be seeking. Needing help doesn’t mean you are crazy or that you are weak. We all need help at various stages of our lives and if you are in need now, please let me assist you. Call me at 714-751-0888.

I believe the most important dimension of healing is an effective and compassionate connection. With empathy and understanding, I seek to help clients learn to recognize difficult patterns and cultivate the skills to overcome those patterns. Together, we can work to enable greater personal freedom and awareness, which in turn, help to facilitate effective responses to all of life's challenges.

We cannot underestimate the impact our families of origin have on our personal development. Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers all play an enormous role in how we view ourselves and the world around us. Psychotherapy is a thorough exploration into the causes for many of our dysfunctional behaviors. You will gain insight into how your early life relationships are impacting you current relationships. I provide a supportive and compassionate counseling experience making objective observations throughout the process. Psychotherapy can provide clarity that facilitates positive change. It aims to put to bed old resentments and hurts leaving clients free to pursue healthy relationships.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Are you struggling to sort out some thoughts, memories or emotions...or maybe navigating through difficult relationships past or present? Do you need support to increase self-confidence and self-esteem? These are things that all people need to continually work on and keep sharp. Some have never had a good model or foundation to go off of and others may have had their foundation shaken by recent events. No matter the challenge or struggle you've had to seek professional support can be the most important key to beginning to feel better. Finding the therapist that you connect with and feel comfortable with key. I look forward to meeting to and seeing how I can help you.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who is sensitive to the challenging and delicate process of being in therapy. My relational and warm approach will create a supportive and safe environment for you to explore your struggles and work towards the healing and fulfillment you deserve. I bring myself genuinely into my work with my clients, and I believe they feel known and understood, rather than judged or overanalyzed. Whether you are seeking individual therapy or couples counseling, I am committed to helping you gain insights into yourself and your relationships.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

If you have tried therapy before without results, maybe the therapist was not a good fit for you. Successful therapy requires a bond between two people in which there is honesty, unconditional acceptance and nonjudgmental listening. I help my clients learn to listen to and begin to their own internal wisdom and break free from family/friends well-meaning advice.

Psychotherapy allows for revisiting our progress as individuals and assessing our lives in terms of our strengths, weaknesses and aspirations. It also provides an opportunity to initiate personal change and growth. Additionally, it assists with an honest accounting of who we are and who we are aspiring to be. Dealing with day to day challenges can create imbalances that propel one to search for answers. Whether the focus of therapy relates to the past, present, and/or future, it is time with the self.

The process of therapy is and should be tailored to each individual's life experience. Research shows that clients in therapy, who seek assistance to deal with a whole range of issues, challenges, thoughts, and emotions, can experience a positive benefit. In our collaborative work, we will complete a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, where we look at many life factors that may be contributing to those challenges for which therapy is being considered. After an assessment, we will have a clearer idea of core values, possible goals and many ideas on designing a flexible plan that is easy to understand and use to bring about the transformation desired.
