Somatic Therapists in California

Hello dear one. Thank you for your curiosity in seeking guidance. While I may not yet know the journey that has brought you here, I’m glad that we are crossing paths. I am an ecotherapist, mindfulness practitioner, and Earth Mama! My work is grounded in humanistic, interpersonal, attachment, mindfulness, motivational, strengths-based, and ecotherapeutic frameworks. I also appreciate philosophical, spiritual, or existential exploration, and creative expression. Blending a warm, person-centered, and gently challenging approach, I will tailor our sessions to fit your needs.

*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! I'm Tori Smith, a licensed therapist in the South Bay of Los Angeles. I specialize in working with young professionals, graduate students, and anxious overthinkers who are feeling out of place, overwhelmed with self-doubt, and unable to trust their own decision making. I can help you discover the ways that your past experiences might be keeping you stuck and how to move beyond those patterns. With a holistic mind-body approach, I will help you find new ways to reconnect with the parts of your life that bring meaning and joy. I provide therapy to clients who are ready for change, and I specialize in treating anxiety and trauma holistically using a mind-body focus. I provide therapy online to California residents.

To the world you appear to be thriving, but internally you feel anxious, overwhelmed and exhausted by self-doubt. You're tired of questioning everything about yourself. You're ready to stop worrying about what others think of you. You just want to feel good enough and sure about who you are. You want to trust yourself to make your own choices. Most of all, you want to get to the root of your anxiety so that you can feel confident in your ability to face life's challenges. No matter what you're going through, I invite you to join me in a safe space of reflection and support along your journey to becoming your most confident self. I specialize in helping teens and adults to develop the confidence and skills they need to overcome anxiety and self-doubt. I often work with high school students, college students, and ambitious individuals who have a desire to unlock their fullest potential and accomplish meaningful life goals. My goal is for you to recognize and trust your own strengths.

Hi! I’m Poppy Haines, I have worked in mental and behavioral health for over 20 years. I specialize in working with youth and individuals. My style is warm, collaborative, and truly integrative. 

Holistic, mindfulness-based psychotherapy

I provide LGBTQIAP+ affirming expressive arts and nature based teletherapy to residents of California. I know the search for the right therapist can be challenging, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to see if we are a good fit.

I am an anxiety and attachment therapist who creates a safe space to practice intentional vulnerability. I listen and acknowledge your thoughts and feelings throughout the session, but don’t get me wrong - I am not a “sit and nod” therapist. I utilize an active and directive approach to help identify and name patterns, behaviors, or thoughts that may be holding you back from living the life you want. Treatment may also include exploration of your attachment style by discussing issues in childhood, and how they impact the way that you show up in the world today. Did you grow up with a parent that was emotionally unavailable or dismissive? Was it intentional or unintentional? These are topics that we may explore so you can see how the past is influencing your present. My job is to help you identify what triggers your fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, and how to soothe them. I help you see the intention behind your trauma responses, and remind you that your body is always trying to keep you safe. My focus and passions include inner child healing, reparenting yourself as an adult, generational trauma, and nervous system regulation. If you are interested in a holistic and collaborative approach to your healing, email me today for a free 15-minute consultation. You could also peep my website and see if I may be a good fit: www.evolutiontohealing.com.

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been working in this field for over 20 years. I have worked with children and families, adolescents, groups, and adults suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, stress, life changes, self-esteem issues, and an array of mental, emotional and relational concerns. My therapeutic approach comes mainly from Jungian Psychology and somatic experience, although I am also eclectic and borrow from other approaches depending on the client's unique needs. I offer a safe, warm, and compassionate approach in my work with individuals. I will meet you where you are, and support you as you transform not only externally but most importantly internally. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have and/or to determine if we are a good fit.

Hellohihey! Whether it’s your first time in therapy or have been looking for a new therapist, welcome! I thank you and applaud you for taking steps to help yourself in your mental health journey. Seeking help and talking about some of our deepest and most difficult moments can be really challenging, and I want to be able to support you in navigating through it all. Through mindful processing using techniques such as brainspotting to just talking and venting through the bs, I’m here to help! I like to take a more client-centered and strengths-based approach; wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to help support and walk alongside you. I try not to assume anything when it comes to your story; you are the writer of your narrative and I’m here to help with what you feel is important or necessary. I am open and willing to help many different populations and demographics. I have a background in early intervention and prevention, and I like working with teens and college-aged adults, especially to help navigate that transitional stage in adolescence and young adulthood. I primarily use techniques including CBT, DBT, and brainspotting in my treatment interventions.
