Stress Therapists in California

Hey there! My name is Cecilia and I am a first gen, bilingual Licensed Clinical Social worker a.k.a therapist with a little over 8 years of experience working with individuals and families. I am the owner & creator of Imperfect Mellow therapy, where I believe that it is okay to be a “mess” sometimes even in our healing journey. We're all humans. I have overcome my own life challenges and believe that through our struggles we build resiliency.  My goal is to support you and hold space for you. I come not only as a therapist but also as your personal cheerleader, secret keeper, and transformation partner. I use different approaches in therapy including, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy to support your journey. I assign homework to help you practice what you learn in session and make progress towards your treatment goals. Therapy with me is teamwork: I want you to feel ownership over your own treatment and we will work together to develop treatment plans and keep us both accountable for them. My personal goal for you is that you get to a place where you feel you do not need me anymore and you are able to slay whatever comes your way. I want to work with you in achieving this.  I have experience treating adults who are struggling with their relationships, healing from inter-generation trauma, going through a difficult life or role transition, struggling with low self-esteem, and/or dealing with depression/anxiety. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify behavior patterns keeping them stuck, learn to set healthy boundaries with others, and challenge negative thinking patterns. Please reach out if you are ready to take this next step in your journey. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to answer any questions you may have and determine whether we are a good fit for each other. I look forward to getting to know you.

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.

As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, calm and steady presence for you as you navigate the challenges you are facing. My approach draws upon cognitive behavioral, dialectic behavioral, EMDR, and psychodynamic perspectives to match the needs of each individual person, family, and couple.  My style has been described as collaborative, warm, interactive, direct, and non-judgmental. I use a variety of techniques to bridge the gap between the conscious and unconscious. In doing so, balance is achieved between the self and the world allowing for healing and growth.

Every client has a unique set of circumstances and issues that they carry with them. Therefore, my approach to therapy involves tailoring a unique and collaborative treatment plan that focuses on reaching your specific goals. My treatment in therapy involves proven and evidenced based approaches that have been effective in research and in real life circumstances for decades with countless individuals, couples, and families. For the past several years I have committed to partnering with non-profits, hospitals, and community mental health clinics treating individuals, couples, and families with complex issues ranging from depression, anxiety, life stage distress, traumatic experiences, and cancer related mental health issues. My efforts within these frameworks has been to focus on and address my clients’ needs from a whole person approach. This translates into thoughtfully assessing the biological, psychological, and social components and stressors of each unique individual.

Holistic, mindfulness-based psychotherapy

As an advanced-trained Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT), I specialize in working with couples and individuals who are feeling disconnected, unheard, stuck, and alone. By utilizing only the most effective research-based approaches, I help my couples build the skills necessary to hold one another's pain, and communicate in a way that forges connection, instead of disconnection. Similarly, I support my individuals in navigating their current emotions and hardships, while also processing past experiences in order to free them up for more fulfilling, hopeful, and rewarding lives. Should you choose to work with me, I will offer you the empathy, support, and expertise needed to heal old wounds, repair hurting relationships, and transform life's most difficult battles into opportunities for deep, human connection. I will hold your pain in order to lighten your load and make space for renewed connection and hope. I firmly believe that, together, we will be able to overcome the hardships that bring you into my therapy room.
