Top California adults therapists who accept cash payments

I have always wanted individuals to succeed and to “strive for excellence.” I always see the “real” person in spite of the drugs, the drama, and the shame. Helping people to see their light and to seek the potential in themselves is one of my greatest joys. In 2016, my friend Rob Owen, M.A. (educational philosopher, author, and teacher), and I co-founded Pioneer Academy, a progressive middle school in Corralitos, California, to address the developmental, educational, emotional, & mental health needs unique to middle school kids. There, I taught middle schoolers about psychology and the power of the subconscious mind. Currently, I am happily providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Transpersonal Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Therapy. I work with individuals and couples facing communication issues, boundary issues, job dissatisfaction, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, faith crises, parenting, and both women's and men’s health and wellness issues. I currently do not work with clients struggling with depression and suicidality. I also facilitate energy psychology sessions for those interested in Psych-K®, Emotion Code®, and Body Code® modalities, along with their regular therapeutic sessions. For those seeking energy psychology, sessions start with a check-in, a Heart-Math Institute Quick Coherence Technique, followed by therapy techniques and subconscious brain techniques and the co-creation of an action plan.
