Therapists in Tustin, CA

Hello! I have been practicing therapy for 9 years, and truly enjoy what I do. Working with me, you’ll likely connect some dots about relational and personal patterns you see in yourself (the “what is this?” and “why am I the way I am?”), and we will also explore what this means for you (“so what now?). My hope is that insight into yourself, and a willingness to create a change in your system will guide you to more spaciousness and freedom in anxiety, depression, reactivity in relationships, etc.  I’m not saying that therapy will solve everything. But I do think it’s worth a shot to see if you can start to untangle a few things, or grow in self-compassion and self-understanding. 

If you struggle with a lack of connection, bitterness, criticism, painful growing apart and unfulfilled expectations with your loved one… If you experience distress, don’t wait to seek support. The effects of resentment, contempt, lack of intimacy and compassion, and childhood or past trauma can be tremendous. You don’t need to navigate your healing journey alone. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment and to work with you on addressing emotional wounds. I specialize in relationship distress, and use evidence based therapeutic modalities in my practice. I also offer Couples Retreats: www.couple-care.com My commitment to you is for us to understand and shift your pain causing patterns, so you can move towards wellness. Reach me for a free phone consultation to see if my approach is a good fit for you. Personally I enjoy mindfulness and yoga, as well as writing. My novel 'Meera' is available internationally on Amazon.com, and portrays the relationship and relational conflicts of the protagonist, exploring her choices and ultimately her recovery.

Hey there! I'm Lamar, but you can call me KaMu. I'm proudly an MFT Associate at the Multicultural Therapy Academy, working under the guidance of Dr. Pamela Reeves. After finishing my bachelor's degree in health administration and management, I gained valuable experience as an MRI technologist with a neuroscience research team specializing in Functional MRI at the University of Southern California Medical Center. This hands-on involvement intensified my enthusiasm for Psychology, which led me to pursue a master's degree. At the University of Capella, I completed my master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, focusing on Counselling Psychology. Currently, I'm enrolled in a Doctoral program at Quantum University, where I'm diving into the profound art of holistic healing for the mind, body, and spirit. This includes studying various modalities like hypnosis, NLP, and Neurofeedback, among others. I'm a passionate Psychologist with comprehensive expertise in providing innovative treatment to help individuals navigate psychological and emotional obstacles. I'm committed to offering unwavering support throughout the entire process of diagnosing, evaluating, and implementing treatment. My approach integrates trauma-informed therapy, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe in delving into the depths of trauma's history, unveiling hidden patterns, and embarking on a journey of emotional restoration. By doing so, we can rediscover the joy of life, nurture relationships, and revive our spiritual and emotional well-being. Let's work together to make that happen!

Stephanie is passionate about journeying alongside adults and adolescents as they experience the difficulties of life transitions and discover who they truly are. People often find themselves in painful relational patterns and spaces of internal suffering that hinder them from living the fulfilled life they desire. Stephanie believes that deeply exploring oneself from a holistic and creative posture is what allows people to authentically live in the freedom of who God called each of them to be. She believes that while many of us experience pain as a result of relational wounds, it is only within the context of relationship that true healing can be felt. Stephanie utilizes a Psychodynamic, Attachment and Relational approach, but incorporates other treatment modalities to cater to the uniqueness of each client. She enjoys working with people who suffer with the following issues: depression, anxiety, stage of life concerns, attachment issues, early childhood/developmental trauma, sexuality, spirituality, and relationship distress. Stephanie received her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Biola University. She went on to obtain her Master's Degree from Azusa Pacific University.

You are on a constant rotation of feeling anxious, depressed, worried, or stressed. You have a lot of responsibilities, people counting on you, and yet sometimes it feels like you can barely keep your head above water. You're not exactly sure when life became this way. You've been through so much and still have so much to do. How exactly are you suppose to keep this up? You can't possibly handle one more thing put on your plate. Once upon a time you felt like a warrior. Now you are struggling to connect to the fire within you. You've tried working through your problems on your own and nothing that you know to do has worked. You want to truly enjoy your life again and feel connected to those you love. You want to set new goals and go about reaching them. You are desperate for more fun, laughter, and balance in your life. It takes a lot of courage to heal and grow, and just the process of realizing that you don't have to do it all alone is a huge step. You can do hard things! With the ability to do online line sessions, I make therapy easy and convenient to fit into your busy life. There are some therapists that will simply sit and listen to you. I am not one of those therapists. I will listen and support you AND I will challenge you to be the warrior that I know you are! Check out my website and reach out today!

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to consider working with me as your therapist. I realize the importance of choosing the right person for this trusted role. I hope that the following videos will give you a sense of me and how I might help you. Some things that distinguish me and my work include the level of training I have received, my years of experience, the variety of strategies that I am competent to use, but also my own personal qualities of warmth, compassion, genuineness, and care. I am proud to have dedicated years to developing proficiency as a Psychologist. I am both a California Licensed Psychologist as well as a Singapore Registered Psychologist. In addition to earning a Ph.D. from the APA Accredited Counseling Psychology Training Program at the University of Texas at Austin, I also hold a Masters Degree in Developmental Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University. As part of my Ph.D. program I successfully completed the APA Approved Predoctoral Psychology Internship at the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center in Loma Linda. I then went on to hold a variety of positions in both governmental and private sector settings before eventually building my own private practice. These years of experience have allowed me to develop a range of skills and competencies which I am able to draw upon. I am now providing therapy exclusively online for adults, adolescents, couples and families. I do this through a secure online platform which is easy for clients to use. Because I am a California Licensed Psychologist these services are eligible for reimbursement through PPO insurance on an Out-of-Network basis. All necessary documentation for insurance submission are provided to clients though a secure online portal. I offer free online consultations which would give us a chance to explore what what changes you would like to make and how I might be of assistance.
