Stress Therapists in California

Hi, I'm Kalisha Crone and I’m a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about supporting communities of color and helping all of my clients improve their overall well-being. My life’s journey paired with my education has afforded me countless learning opportunities that have shaped me into the therapist that I am today.

I believe in the power of resilience and I understand that in sharing our stories and receiving the validation that we deserve we can heal the hurt and trauma we have carried for far too long. I care about you, your family, and your story. You can trust that I will treat you with respect, dignity and compassion in every interaction, while maintaining the highest standards for integrity and ethics. Please feel free to contact me for a free consult to see if we are a good fit!

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.

Hello, Are you looking for therapy to help you or a loved one: • Reduce emotional suffering from anxiety, depression, excessive anger, or childhood trauma? • Cope with illness, divorce, or loss? • Enhance performance in a career or school? • Improve, save, or end a relationship? • Get your life back from self-limiting thoughts and behaviors? • Connect better with a teen or help get a teen’s life back on track? Or perhaps you wish to explore the many layers of your “self” to better understand who you are, how you got here, and ways to grow in a more directed, intentional manner? If you are looking for someone to guide you in the therapy process who takes you seriously while being kind and compassionate, and who is skillful and experienced but down-to-earth and easy to talk to…then I may be the right therapist for you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Are you repeating frustrating patterns? Do you feel unsure of how to move forward? It’s normal to feel this way when facing major life transitions in a complex and often oppressive world.  Working together, I will help you slow down and pay attention to what is happening on the inside with gentleness and curiosity to find answers from your inner wisdom. By changing your relationship with yourself, you can feel more grounded, confident, and authentic. Doing so will allow you to access your most profound sense of empowerment and make clear choices to lead a more meaningful life.  When you face major life transitions, you may feel anxious, sad, isolated, frustrated, or confused. If you have a chronic or terminal illness, grief from the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or a job, or are exploring your gender or sexual orientation; therapy can provide support and connection as you navigate challenges and choices.  While the lens through which I view the therapy process is existential and transpersonal, my work is fundamentally trauma-informed and social justice-oriented (anti-oppressive). The most common piece of feedback I receive from clients is that they feel more empowered, confident, and grounded after working with me. I am known for providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we explore your feelings, thoughts, choices, and values with gentle curiosity to increase self-awareness and self-compassion to improve your relationship with yourself and others. Together we can sort through what you are feeling to gain insight and relief so you can live with enhanced authenticity and integrity.
