Hello, my name is James and thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I’m a California-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, young adults, and families, to help them feel empowered, engaged, and most of all, accepted in this world. I am a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist with an extensive clinical background in treating trauma with a strong emphasis on the connection between one’s environment, brain, and nervous system. I gravitate towards an eclectic therapeutic approach and tailor my sessions to each individual’s need.

There are a lot of reasons to seek therapy, and improved relationships can help most all of them. Repetitive patterns from trauma or a diminished connection with a loved one can drain the resiliency and joy from your daily life. It can seem like you're stuck with unmet needs, feeling like you can't get it right, or that you are the only one who cares about the relationship. You ever wonder how people who love each other so much can argue so intensely? I strive to help you move from ineffective dependency to effective dependence.

Do you find yourself thinking about your relationship more often than not? Maybe you find yourself saying, "How did we get here? I can’t do this anymore. We need to change or else…" You wonder if your marriage can be saved...if you want to marry at all...if you should even stay in this relationship. Everyone else's relationship seems easier than yours. No one would understand if you told them what you're going through. Your relationship feels like a struggle to even be in, right now. Conflict, confusion and discomfort seem like the norm, not the exception.

Emotional distress creates worry, stress, confusion, sadness, anger, emotional pain, and frustration among many other emotions. Do you ever feel that way? Is it because of family problems or hardships in your intimate relationship, or are you having negative thoughts about life itself? With 19 years of experience in mental health, crisis management, relationship conflict, domestic violence and child welfare my primary focus is to help you heal and find solutions. If you need professional help, I look forward to working with you in a safe, professional, and judgment free manner.

As a therapist, joining you on your path to growth and healing is a privilege. Life can be tough, and sometimes it's hard to cope with major changes or ongoing struggles. Recognizing negative thought patterns and beliefs affecting behavior is challenging without guidance. I'm here to offer support, especially for children, young adults, couples, and individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, academic and job-related stress, relationship problems, and life transitions.

Trust Mental Health offers therapy and coaching to Children, Teens, Adults, Couples and Families. Our approach is warm, positive and strength-based facilitation of carving out a route of self-exploration and growth. Our team specialize in CBT, DBT, Trauma-focused CBT as well as Psychodynamic approach.

I specialize in helping couples, families, and children. As human beings, we have a need to feel connected to a significant other who becomes like a safe haven and a source of security and comfort. This person helps us to face the world with confidence because we know there is someone who cares about us. When we feel disconnected from our attachment figure, we feel unprotected and life's challenges seem to be bigger and scarier. I help couples and families to feel secure in their relationship by strengthening their bond so that they become responsive, accessible and emotionally engaged with each other.

I'm Michele, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor dedicated to supporting school-aged children and adolescents through individual and group counseling.

With a focus on fostering self-esteem, managing anxiety, addressing ADHD, and enhancing social skills, I bring a personalized and holistic approach to my practice, guiding each child toward a happy, healthy, and productive life.
