Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW

What's your experience with relationship counseling?

Couples counseling is a very honorable and brave undertaking for a pair. The main crux of this type of therapy is learning how to communicate in healthy ways. We learn how to use assertive methods of sharing and how to have productive arguments versus destructive ones. We lay ground rules to protect both parties and ensure that both partners feel heard, safe and understood.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 18 years with families, individuals and couples. I have a passion for group work and use a very collaborative approach because I know that you are the expert on yourself. I specialize in recovery from alcohol and substance abuse as well as transitions into new motherhood and women empowerment. I help couples learn and implement healthy communication. I utilize various modalities from art, writing, inner child work, experiential practices and evidenced based techniques to address the obstacles that you want to focus on and be the version of you that brings you peace and satisfaction.

What's your experience with relationship counseling?

Couples therapy is not about blaming. Each person contributes to the chaotic cycle by making inaccurate assumptions then responding in ways that are unwarranted. Both people bring old baggage, including childhood baggage, to the relationship that no longer serve them. We help you to better understand your needs and those of your significant other to bridge the communicate gap.

We have Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists who cater to the busy professional, couple and family by offering evening and weekend Telehealth appointments. We also have a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with anxiety, depression, trauma, panic and creatives. We are located in beautiful Downtown Long Beach, CA; Inland Empire, CA and West Hills, CA.

What's your experience with relationship counseling?

Cultivating healthy boundaries and communicating assertively is crucial to having peaceful relationships, self-respect, and achieving the goals you set for yourself. If you find yourself feeling resentful and exhausted due to taking on emotional responsibility for others and rarely getting your needs met, therapy can help you better balance your needs and those of others, so you can feel freer and happier.

Hi, I’m a clinical psychologist licensed in the states of California and Iowa. I have specialized experience working with culturally diverse adults struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, shame, and relationship difficulties. Moreover, I have a subspecialty treating mental health symptoms influenced by women specific issues, such as postpartum depression, menopause, gender role challenges, and body image concerns. I also help couples who want to develop deeper intimacy, increase emotional safety, and communicate more effectively with one another. Overall, my passion lies in helping people 1) address shame by cultivating self-compassion, 2) develop healthy relationship boundaries, and 3) live a values-based lifestyle. In all my work, I prioritize creating a space of radical acceptance and safety for individuals to examine their lives honestly and accurately. I am confident that radically genuine living is a life worth living, and I strive to help patients develop an inner haven through which they can live unapologetically as their true selves.

What's your experience with relationship counseling?

I have been giving couples/relationship therapy for the past ten years. If that is of interest, know that I have a "no secrets" policy and that our sessions will get deep right away. I have seen a lot of magic happen!

My name is Dr. Bryant and I am so excited to meet ya! I treat people virtually in the state of California. I also offer both in person and virtual services in the state of Tennessee. I created As You Are Therapy because therapy can be terrifying! I developed my practice with that in mind- so I could be different. As You Are was created with autonomy in mind. Come sit on my couch (IRL or Virtually) and be as authentically you as you want (literally without judgement). I want you to walk in, feel welcomed, and leave feeling your best. My therapeutic approach matches your vibe and we will build a relationship where comfort and acceptance are priority. Healing is a progression and I cannot wait to see you, as you are!

Chris White

Marriage & Family Therapist

How do you work with clients with relationship issues?

If I am working with couples, I ask process questions in order to understand the pattern of conflict, what has prevented the couple from resolving these. I also explore the particular underlying needs for each person and help them communicate these to one another using assertive communication, which I will likely provide education on unless this is not needed. Sometimes these three items are sufficient, but where they are not, I help couples explore what is preventing them from implementing these things. Often times, there are ways that the couple is triggering one another's trauma, or re-opening old wounds caused in relationship. In this case, we would work to address them. I primarily use Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples, along with elements of Internal Family Systems, particularly when there are wounds involved.

My name is Chris White and I have been practicing for 15 years. I work with motivated adults, couples that are stuck but not experiencing intense conflict, and mature and motivated teenagers with families that are willing to consider family therapy if recommended. An area of focus is folks interested in using Internal Family Systems to increase their ability to choose, harmonize their inner world, and increase their access to attributes such as compassion, curiosity and clarity.

Allyson Byers

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

Are you experiencing grief and loss? Are you navigating health challenges, chronic illness, and/or chronic pain? Do you have parts of yourself that are difficult to share with others? Have you experienced medical or relational/attachment trauma? You've come to the right place. I believe that therapy can be a reparative experience and that the relationship between a therapist and client has the ability to foster immense change and growth. Everyone deserves to have a life worth living, and I am here to help you get there. I specialize in grief and loss, chronic illness/chronic pain, trauma, and depression. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing a non-death loss (the ending of a platonic or romantic relationship, a new health diagnosis, infertility, etc.). I also love working with individuals who have Borderline Personality Disorder and complex trauma. As someone who is neurodivergent and queer and has multiple chronic illnesses, I draw from both my professional and lived experiences. I am an active therapist in the room, which means I like to provide psychoeducation when appropriate and gently challenge you to see things from a different perspective or dig deeper. I also frequently utilize humor because therapy doesn’t have to always be so serious.
