How do you work with clients with depression?

Do you ever get tired of making lemonade, but life keeps giving you lemons? My name is Jennifer Ozomaro. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, where I run my private practice, Seeds of Growth Counseling. Life can feel chaotic at times. You can feel overwhelmed and stuck. I provide support to navigate life’s transitions and get you unstuck.  I have experience working with various individuals helping them meet their needs in therapy. Some of my specialties include coping with depression and anxiety, understanding complex traumas, challenging negative thinking, relationship distress, and mindfulness. I like to work collaboratively with my clients to help them gain more control and understanding of their feelings and set achievable treatment goals for the future. So, let’s work together! Give me a call, or send me an email, and let’s get started.

*TELETHERAPY SERVICES AVAILABLE*  Hi and welcome to my profile! If your looking to connect with yourself and others more deeply and feel confident in the decisions you make in your life, then I’m here to come along side and help you reach those goals. My approach to the therapy process is collaborative so that together we can work to accomplish your goals. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, past trauma, relationship issues, or a life transition, we can work together to uncover the underlying emotions and navigate the blind spots so that you can gain clarity and calmness in your self and in your relationships.  I use specific styles of therapy, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) as a way to help guide the therapeutic process. These styles help us explore strengths and transformation, while also navigating areas that keep us emotionally stuck.  I am truly inspired by the resilience of the human spirit and the bravery that people have when embarking on the difficult but necessary work of self-examination. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and understood, as we journey together in the therapy process. 

Welcome to my world of holistic psychiatry and mental wellness! I’m Maria, a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), dedicated to guiding individuals towards vibrant mental and physical health. I help adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and other mental disorders to regain their vitality and centeredness, create a better understanding of self, and achieve closer relationships with others. I specialize in working with women facing major life transitions and events such as divorce, adoption, birth, moving, severe illness, and death in the family. While I work with patients of all backgrounds, I am especially equipped to offer culturally competent care to first or second-generation immigrants struggling with issues of acculturation and self-acceptance. I support patients in discovering their self-worth and confidence while fostering a sense of belonging by working through their generational traumas and thought patterns that no longer serve them. My holistic approach to care considers patients’ physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, we’ll create personalized treatment plans that may include mindfulness exercises, supplements, medication, therapy, self-care rituals, nutrition protocols, and exercise plans. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), I take a holistic approach: I consider patients’ physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, we create personalized treatment plans that may include mindfulness exercises, supplements, medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. I prioritize overall wellness, not just symptom management. I empower patients to actively participate in their mental and physical health journey. I reject the notion of a “one size fits all” approach to mindcare and wellness. My collaborative, personalized treatment plans are created with respect to your values, concerns, trepidations, and belief systems. Let’s create a personalized action plan as unique as you are!

My education in counseling and nutrition puts me in a unique position of providing comprehensive care for issues around eating, body image, and digestive health, while also being able to focus on nutrition-specific or psychology-specific concerns, such as anxiety, depression and other developmental matters. I believe that counseling is helpful at all stages of the lifespan, so I work with children, couples, families, and individual adults. My goal as a counselor is to support the emotional and personal growth of our community in a safe, accessible environment.  I embrace ACT, CBT, and MI, with person-centered, feminist and multicultural perspectives, focusing on lifting up voices of those who historically have not felt heard. I am an empathetic, patient listener and I believe strongly that my role as a counselor is to give my clients as much safe space as they need to process whatever their current situation is. I work in an integrated setting with other licensed mental health counselors, as well as other disciplines, such as nutritionists and NDs, as I believe that health is integrated and that we can best serve our community when all of these disciplines come together to be of service.

Hello everyone. I'm Brian Webb and I understand that we can have some things that we don't know how to or is equipped to deal with. I'm here to be that nonjudgmental listening ear that will help you through this trying time. It seems like these past few years has taught us that not only is our physical health important, but our mental health also needs to take priority as well. I use a holistic approach that focuses on the whole person because you are more than the issue you may have at the time. You are so much more, and we will explore this using different methods. I specialize in creating a safe and inviting environment for tweens, teens, adults, and couples. We'll traverse who you are and the person you want and need to be.
